I know he worked Inoki, I don't remember the matches though. Hogan's matches were always bareable at best.

Hogan was never in a blockbuster. He had roles in minor movies.

He is the reason he wasn't in a blockbuster. HE DIDN'T DRAW. He had far more lead roles and did ZERO in all of them.

Because there were more PPVs in their time.

So? There were also more house shows back in the 80's. And there were the same amount of Wrestlemania's every year and the numbers speak for themselves. And before you give it the bullshit about how less homes had cable then, compare the numbers Hogan did against Rock and Austin from 1998-2001.

The economy and wages change.

And? What's the difference in ten years? Fuck all. Bret Hart was being paid nearly $3 million a year in 1997. Triple-H doesn't even make that in 2007 and there is far more money coming into the WWE now.
