Better Wrestler #17

Yes. Because Hulk Hogan bastardized pro-wrestling with that cartoon bullshit pro-wrestling died and this garbage sports entrainment was born. If you think I don't hold Vince responsible for th death of pro-wrestling, you're mistaken. But the blame doesn't fall on his shoulders alone. Hogan earned his share of the credit. If he gets credit for making the company all that money than he deserves credit for putting out all those promotions out of business as well. Because the one caused the other bro.

You can't have it one way. Cause, and effect. Now if you want to say it was Vince's business genius that made the WWF all that money in the 80s then fine. Hogan is in no way to blame for the death of pro-wrestling in the US. No argument. But as long as people site Hogan's successes for McMahon then his disctruction of the business has to be part of his legacy too. There's no way around it. With it out him McMahon's monopoly doesn't exist. This Sports Entertainment circus doesn't exist. Before he changed the face of pro-wrestling you could make a pretty decent living in the business. Not to mention you'd be able to better ply your craft across the country as there were GREAT wrestlers to learn from everywhere and different styles all across the nation.

After him you can't make money anywhere with out joining up with WWE inc. You have a bunch of green guys trying to be groomed by the monopoly because they have borderline all of the great people to learn from. Going up and down the road you don't find too many of those truly acceptional wrestlers, you mostly hacks or green kids.

Before hogan wrestling was booked and written by wrestlers. After hogan you get failed TV producer and writers trying to churn out a product we're expected to enjoy. Look at the abomination of mainstream pro-wrestling in the mid 90's. especially WCW. Thats all Hogans influence.

He changed the business but it only benefited those with in the McMahon regime. Other than for him wrestling has been marred with financial failures for all who have tried to touch it. And that's not the way it was before Hulkamania, that's after.

So yeah, I hold it against him.
