We’re there any top guys that stuck around after their run?

[ChitownKnight]

Hogan- went to WCW after 93
Bret- left after the screwjob
HBK- left after back injury
Stone Cold- slowed down after 2001, then eventually left
The Rock- went Hollywood after 2002
Brock Lesnar- left after 2 years and then came back years later as a part timer
John Cena- after his top guy run ended in 2014, he slowly went part time before disappearing altogether for the most part
Roman Reigns- right now even as the top guy he’s dwelling into a part time schedule

Hogan in WCW. His time as top dog ended around 1998 (Goldberg taking over)

He had that main event run and feud with Hogan in early 1999 but for the most part Flair’s last 4-5 years in WCW he was like an upper-midcard level iconic figure who could still go but wasn’t main eventing a lot of PPVs or anything.

Eh, Hogan still main evented more PPVs than Goldberg in 1998-99 even after that Georgia Dome match.

If Hogan was on TV he was probably the guy getting the most focus, champion or not.
