It's not perfect timing. IT's the best timing they could pull off with Brock leaving. There's a difference.

i have to say, as much as orton impresses me, I really don't like him all that much.
I htink Cena is much more electrifying, and Cena has some good little catch phrases (like rock and angle have), like, "YO yo yo yo yo" and "you cant see me". Orton needs to develop some catch phrases b4 he can get really big |

It can be debated... but I don't think Hogan was ever as big as The Rock either. |

![]() Really. Which is why even past his prime, the crowd was unsure who to get behind, Austin or the Rock. Which is why Austin is one of the personas that created the Attitude era. Glad you cleared that up for us. |

As for Hogan not being as big as the Rock, you must have no concept of what the wrestling world was like in the late 80's/early 90's. The entire federation was based around one thing: getting Hogan over. Sure, he got there by being a back-stabbing, politicking, nepotistic jerk, but he still got there. Even today, Hogan is pretty much synonymous with the word "wrestling," more than Austin or the Rock ever were, I'd bet.
Stone Cold and Rocky are absolutely huge, and far superior workers, but neither one can top Hogan when it comes to name value. |
