Where did I completely disregard Hogan? I fully admit that it was his charisma that made it work. But look at the long list of charismatic wrestlers of the time: Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Rowdy Roddy Piper. All three were great workers, terribly charismatic, and hugely popular. Hulk had the body builder look that Vince wanted and the charisma to pull it off. Someone like Brutus the Barber Beefcake couldn't have done it. The list of people who could have pulled it off is small, but there is a list. Most of the ideas were Vince's, but it was Hogan who pulled it off.
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."
