Why Does Hogan Get Credit for Anything?

Not saying that the bookers don't deserve credit. What I'm saying is that they had much more control of their characters and influenced change.

Hogan didn't influence change in any way that I can see and only had control of his character after he was already ridiculously powerful. Hell, all the cool things he did as Hollywood Hogan were ripped off from Jesse Ventura and Ric Flair. I feel like it's the difference between an actor playing a part in a great movie and the writer and director of that great movie.

With Flair, Pillman and Foley they at the very least get a co-writer/co-director nod.
