I read this and stopped. The whle company was built around Cena for some time as well, doesn't mean was the draw, just what marketing was going for. And your buying into the bullshit.

But Hulk Hogan did draw and the company grew significantly. How did that not happen??

But he didn't do it alone by any stretch of the imagination.

I personally think Hulk Hogan did carry the WWE in the 80's. Were there other great wrestlers around in WWE? Of course. Vince McMahon was smart in getting talent from other promotions and helped making shows like Saturday Night's Main Event and the PPVs enjoyable from top to bottom. I believe the comparison between Hulk and Cena is accurate in terms of marketing. Still doesn't mean that Hulk didn't significantly draw for WWE and that he was the main guy.
