All this love for Hogan and yet his in ring return on the wrestling show that he basically runs gets a 0.98 rating? Dosent sound like one of the biggest stars in the world to me.
Raws rating next week will be a 3.5 or higher. And I'm not saying that'll be all because of Austin, but I guarentee that the pop he gets when the glass shatters will be louder than all of Hogans TNA entrances combined..
Also, what Austin did in his 5 years at the top is something that has and will never be repeated. He saved a company almost single handely. And he helped start a generation of kids who just stopped giving a fuck. He was the most influencial figure in wrestling history. All Hogan did was something similar to what John Cena is doing now. Build a really young, strong fan base and take that with him inside and outside of pro wrestling.
