For a brief cultural moment, Stone Cold Steve Austin was the biggest star in the history of pro wrestling. |

A million guys were better in the ring than Hogan including Steve Austin. But that's not the point of the thread. It's who was bugger at their peak.

Hulk Hogan was ubiquitous in American culture. He was, as another poster put it, crack for kids. And he did it at a time when prior thereto pro wrestling was a regional redneck niche thing.
Austin had his moment, but is nowhere close to Hogan. |

Austin had a couple cameos. Ok. Rock and Cena had legit film careers. What's that say about whether Austin was bigger than Hogan?
Also, do me a favor. Look at the promo poster for wrestlemanias I-IX.
That's the difference. |

Date: February 6th, 2023 7:41 PM Author: Vibrant geriatric abode clown Hogan is the bigger pop culture icon, easily.
But-- although it's not an apples-to-apples comparison-- when Austin was on top, the WWF's TV ratings and PPV buyrates blew away anything Hogan ever accomplished, as did Austin's merch sales.
Austin at his peak was a bigger star among pro wrestling fans, but he never came close to Hogan pop culture-wise. |
