Will wrestling ever get really really popular again? Probably.
Will there ever be a "Hogan" or an "Austin" again? No. These people's popularity occurred in other times and in other ways. Apart from being popular and selling an awful lot of merchandise, Hogan and Austin weren't much like each other. Whoever comes next, whenever they come, will be very different again.
Whoever gets popular, it has to be recognised that huge popularity cannot be manufactured. WWE had nothing for Austin in 1996, then he made a name for himself with the "Austin 3:16" speech. That can't be replicated.
