Why was this guy so massive?
Was it simply that Americans were more patriotic in the 1980s, so they lapped it up?
Were the audiences even "dumber" than they are right now?
Right now, all I ever hear is wrestling fans paying out "Super Cena", yet Hogan had an even better record. Wasn't he undefeated for like a year or two straight?
Even The Rock and Austin were regularly getting done over. With Austin, he was always fighting a losing battle, whereas Hogan seemed to just "hulk up" or whatever it was and become invincible, similarly to Cena now.
Why the difference?
