Do you believe that John Cena has become bigger than WWE? - Yes. He's the face of the industry from a global perspective. People know Cena even if they've never watched a WWE event.

Do you believe that Hulk Hogan has become bigger than Professional Wrestling? - He's been bigger then wrestling since the late 80's. People who don't watch know who he is.

Who is currently a bigger star? - Cena, Hulk isn't a draw any more really. It's been shown with his TNA segments drawing so badly. Cena is the biggest star in wrestling.

Cena, because he till cares about his fans and respects the WWE. Hogan only cares for himself.

No. He's more known than WWE, but WWE as a whole is still a much bigger global sensation. However, WWE are relying on him too much atm.

Do you believe that Hulk Hogan has become bigger than Professional Wrestling?

No. He thinks he is, but he's not. (though I hate him so my opinion is probably bias)

Who is currently a bigger star?

Cena and it's not even close.

People are seriously overrating Cena's celebrity status.

I doubt it. Look at his presence on social media
: http://fanpagelist.com/category/athletes/ . It's one example of how popular he is.

Cena is known, I'm sure, to a lot of non-wrestling fans but he is not overall bigger or more important than the WWE itself. Same goes for Hogan. Almost every non-wrestling fan has heard the name Hulk Hogan at some point, but I'm not sure I would call him bigger than pro wrestling itself. He hasn't had much success outside of wrestling. His movies, for example, suck ass.

And currently, Cena is the bigger star but overall (in terms of legacy and stuff), Hogan is the biggest star in wrestling.

Cena is not bigger than the WWE b/c if he left it would be a big mistake.

If Cena left, WWE would replace him They've done it before. It would suck... bad... but they would move on without him


Hulk isn't bigger than pro wrestling and pro wrestling isn't bigger than him. They are synonymous with each other


We don't know the real Cena. It's hard to say how big a star he could be, cause we don't really know the guy well

Truly big stars can be train wrecks... and people still care. Cena hasn't screwed up yet. It remains to be seen

,,, maybe.

You never hear anything bad about Sting or Undertaker

unless, of course, you saw Sting as Heath Ledger.... *cringes*


Ripping off a dead actor's gimmick worked once, but twice is one too many

Lmao.

Exactly. I think John will be like that and retire like that. He's just a nice guy.

Cena hasnt become bigger than wwe.

Rock, stone cold achieved the same popularity in the attitude era, and Flair before the attitude era.

Hogan however did become bigger than the wwe in the 80s.

Which one of them is bigger? Thats a difficult question.
Currently, Cena ofc, because Hogan has retired from WWE.

But if u compare Hogan's status at the 80's and Cena's status now, Hogan is bigger. He was considered mr hollywood himself.
