Actually, Mega is right.
There are different types of in-ring ability. Hogan worked a very old-school type style, one that is STILL over with the fans today, and one that allowed him to have a career that is going as long as his is.
The match starts out slow, builds up, rest holds, good guy - bad guy back and forth, a few bigger spots, with heel heat - face pops, boom, the finish, and match is over. I don't think many can truly understand how that works without actually being in a ring and seeing for themselves.
Sure, Hogan wasn't Hart in the ring (but he could take care of himself if needed), and on the same token, Hart wasn't Hogan either. Macho Man is no Benoit, but Benoit isn't Macho Man either (although Savage could wrestle a bit as well).
Same thing with tag teams, how LOD weren't WRESTLERS (very few are, if ever) - but they had excellent in ring skills and psychology. The Nasty Boys again,although clumsy at times,had skills enough to tell stories and keep people entertained. Neither of those teams are The Steiners (c. 1980's / early-mid 1990's), but The Steiners weren't LOD.
