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

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.

I was just gonna let Rob go ahead and make the argument that Rock and Austin were both bigger than Hogan but I had to throw one thing in.

Your argument for Rock being 10 times the movie star is that Hogan was never in a blockbuster. Are you actually implying that Hogan is a better actor, or even nearly on par with Rock when it comes to acting? Rock is huge because he is a good actor and is likeable and he gets jobs because of it. Hogan could never act... so he didn't get major roles. Not much to say beyond that.

As a matter of fact, Austin, Cena and Kane are all significantly better actors than Hogan as well.
