    In the 80s I was a Hogan fan for sure. 90s was The Rock. 00s was Triple H and Randy Orton. Its really hard to pick a favorite of all time. Maybe just based on mic skills Ill go with The Rock. There are few wrestlers who could work a mic like The Rock...though Chris Jericho gets a special mention in that regard.

    Crazy talk! The N.W.O. was fucking great! Not to mention at that time period it was the Monday Night Wars. Wrestling needed that shit. It was becoming stale and The N.W.O. put wrestling back on the map and brought in so many fans that might never have considered watching wrestling before. Say what you want about the guy as a person, but Hogan did a lot for professional wrestling. He didnt change the game in the ring, but his likability and the character that he portrayed so well gave validity to a scripted combat sport where the object is to not hurt your fellow performer. I dont think pro wrestling reaches the heights it does in the 80s or 90s without Hulk Hogan the "real" american or Hollywood Hogan.

    There have likely been more skilled wrestlers before, during and after. But the sheer presence of him in the ring was so damn impressive. Honourable mention to the Undertaker.
