Good retort, but I feel like even with the ESPN deal, it was a sign of the times deal. I see Savage being the WWF's biggest star tho in this timelineGrim said:Nah, people forget AWA had a deal with ESPN, which in the 80s and 90s was a huge broadcaster. If Hogan stays a few more years, ESPN keeps the deal going for a while while AWA builds up more stars, possibly even gets a few major names like DiBiase and the UWF guys.
