But Hogan peaked in the early 90's. Everything after then was a pretty sad display. Flair's had a longer run in the business and, more than likely, has made more money for the business than Hogan. His run in WCW didn't sell more tickets. It didn't increase ratings. It didn't give them bigger PPV buyrates. Flair was a constant money earner and fan favorite. Hogan put wrestling back on the national map, but that was mostly due to McMahon's marketing strategy. After a while, Hogan's importance faded. He only stayed in the spot light because of nostalgia and his creative control clause. His only real value to WCW was to help them get the good toy and video game deals that had eluded them. After his first few years there, he'd pretty much outlived his usefulness.
whomod said: I generally don't like it when people decide to play by the rules against people who don't play by the rules. It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet."
