I dunno. I think his destruction of The Rock and Hogan were what really solidified him. Before that, yeah, he was destroying people, but so what? But when you go and destroy a couple of megastars (and win the title off of one) then that makes people go "Hey, this guy is for real!"

Goldberg got over in a similar fashion. He was huge over because of the streak and was solidified before he got to Hogan (who would be the closest to making him). No one feud made him.

I beg to differ. They were both over before they beat the big stars, but beating the big stars is what solidifies them as major players.

I know this isn't the best analogy... but take Umaga for example. He came in and was destroying everybody. He was getting over and got his shot at the big times against Cena... and Cena beat him repeatedly. Now what is he?

Imagine if Rock/Hogan hadn't put over Lesnar/Goldberg. If Rock/Hogan went over, then the momentum of both would have pretty much been halted. If they just plain never fought then they both would just eventually become those generic "monsters" in the mid-card.

But by facing them and beating them, both were solidified as here to stay. Of course, neither of them actually stayed.

I think that Hogan made The Undertaker, truthfully. I mean, it's never a case of it entirely being one guy, but looking back over Taker's career, the definitive moment where the character probably stood out as a "real deal" was when Hogan couldn't phase the big man. Hulk fucking Hogan couldn't overcome his darkness.

Transitional reign or not, that just lended so much credibility to the character that it always carried some weight to it. That's what a lot of characters like The Boogeyman have been lacking since, despite going over some big fucking names in borderline squash matches.
