(Watch his Japan matches against Muta or 1994 WCW matches against Flair as an example).

Hell, he had a good match in Japan against Stan Hansen. I saw it this year on the Youtube while on a Hansen kick. When I got done watching it, I was instantly pissed off. Why? because Hogan was ripping off American fans for DECADES doing the flex and strut routine when he could legitimately work.
BTW, the Youtube also features Hansen slamming Andre the Giant, with ease.
