Hogan at the time was the perfect mix of looks, size, charisma, and intensity. It was just the perfect storm that I don’t think would of worked nearly as well with anyone else. No cartoon no trading cards, no record albums.

Okay, Bob. I will give Lucky Hank another chance

Let's also blame Verne Gagne for being a fucking moron and not realizing he had a huge star on his hands too tbh

Fuck this is the most I’ve ever defended Hogan in my life I never connected to him as a kid either. I rarely got to watch WWF anyway I was all NWA mostly.

Verne killed the AWA by not capitilizing on Hogan

If Verne gave Hogan more royalties, the AWA Chamionship, and allowed him to work New Japan, it probably would have been delayed.

Dusty by 1984 was already starting to book for Crockett so that's a no-go
