i've seen that critique (or similar ones) occasionally, but i've really just never gotten it. it seems like an instance where you can selectively credit whomever you want. typically, its more so conveniently phrased something like "hulkamania rises, that was all vince. stone cold breaks loose, that was all steve." or undiestaker. or hbk. or whomever. the overall tone is something about hogan simply being "there", and everyone else did all the work. to me, thats a really skewable scale.

on the same token, i don't think you could ever give all of the credit to hogan, either (or the rock, or triple h, or whomever). everyone has friends, support, scripts, rivals, etc.

but to completely discredit hogan in that regard is a bit much, no?
