Austin probably not as you couldn't do that character in the 80s. Cena would have been a huge deal though.

 

[Cereal Killer]

But bigger than Hogan? Also, was Hogan a bigger deal with the youth than Cena is currently, assuming the fan base of WWF and WWE was about the same?

 

[klunderbunker]

Nah.

No. And WWF was bigger.

No.

 

[klunderbunker]

No.

Yes, it was. Today WWE is little more than a minor pop culture reference. Back in the 80s it was on network TV and the cover of Sports Illustrated.

WWE in 2013 has more viewers, more time on TV, more PPV buys, and makes more money.

 

[klunderbunker]

20 million unique viewers.

WWF Main Event - February 5, 1988: 33 million viewers. The most viewed wrestling match in the history of American television.

Alright, I did some digging and found that Hogan had his personal merchandise which consisted of items other than t shirts, and like youbsaid to Nu, WWF in the 80'a was more in the pop culture field, which I think gives Hogan a popularity advantage. Without any of that, or if Steve had the same attention, then how would you rank Austin?

Also, of course Steve's gimmick wouldn't have worked in the Golden age, but what if he was in the ruthless aggression era while in his prime, and again assuming the fan base and advantages/disadvantages were on an equal basis?

Second, with miles and miles of a gap between him and Rock in third.

It would all depend on Vince. Austin would have been a big deal without him, but not as big of a deal. Same with Hogan and PIper.

I have a few questions and like to see where you stand on them:
If its true and HHH eventually will be a heel who will be VKM's rep if that Mania match takes place
If American Wolves do sign with WWE is ROH pretty much dead
In ROH and AW leave would Steen jump to WWE or TNA
Steen leaves which is a better fit TNA or WWE
Corino goes to WWE which would be the better stable for him Wyatts or Shield
With your boy Cena possibly taking time off and the rumor ME at NOC Bryan vs Orton would it make sense to build Bryan up as the Champ and he immediately defeats Orton at SSLam when Orton cashes in

 

[klunderbunker]

Likely so.

No.

WWE more than likely.

WWE.

Neither.

Cena isn't my boy.

No. Have Orton win and then Bryan can beat him in a fair match.

 

[scomvp316]

The Cena comment was a little joke because most of the time with some of my questions regarding Cena you seem to be a huge Cena supporter which isn't a bad thing I don't hate Cena like so many online do I respect his work ethic but some of that is probably based off of he might be concerned if he takes too much time off someone might take his spot but thats just how entertainment works I guess from learning about people like Hogan and Couric I am always skeptical about public figures being too nice because most of them the public finds out they aren't as nice as they had perceived themselves I do like the recent attitude adjustment of Cena the more defensive aggressive Cena like when he first turned face when he was on SD I don't know if a heel Cena could work at this point but I like the less-Disney like character and having his true intense persona is a good thing for the entire product

 

[scomvp316]

From my questions tonight if HHH turn heel who do you think would be VKM's rep at their WM match
Corrino is such a good mouthpiece I thought he would be good for the Shield as a manager
Alot of specualtion online if EB & HH were to be replaced Jeff Jarrett would be a good creative director so what do you think or should TNA just hand the creative side to Heyman if EB & HH were to be let go

 

[klunderbunker]

Cena.

Shield doesn't need a manager.

No.

 

[J-Dogg]

Do you think KB, that with The Shield likely taking a step down after SummerSlam will hurt them and do they still have relevance.

 

[klunderbunker]

I doubt it, and yes.

 

[J-Dogg]

I just figured you k ow The Wyatt Family deserve theirs ah and set a rivalry between the two stables

 

[klunderbunker]

Nah. Not needed. Keep them apart for awhile and let the Wyatts get strong.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

Did any information ever come out as to what the plans where for Warrior during his comeback in 96? In particular, I'm curious if a Warrior/Michaels story was ever planned before Warrior and the WWE parted ways once more.

 

[klunderbunker]

I vaguely remember that being talked about but the fans weren't into him during this run so it wasn't very likely.

 

[#MrScissorsKick]

What was your general feeling after Impact went off the air last night? I'm just wondering since I thought it was a fairly good show.

 

[klunderbunker]

I liked it quite a bit.

 

[Cereal Killer]

Now at the same time, no Hogan wouldn't have been anywhere near what he was in 2002. Rocky 3 was a huge deal and carried him to a lot of his success.

So if he was in the 2002 scenario, would he still be conidered the greatest?

Who are your top 5 greatest wrestlers?

 

[Барбоса]

Any much maligned storylines that you liked?

Personally, I rather enjoyed Mr America, although it might not be as disliked as I think it was.

 

[klunderbunker]

Nah probably not.

In modern times:

Hogan
Austin
Rock
Cena
HHH
