Hulk Hogan (1987) vs Triple H (2000)

[RoloSolo IV]

Hulk Hogan cut the better promos and headlined Wrestlemania III.


Triple H had alot of better matches than Hogan in 2000.


EDIT : When I meant better overall, I mean the combined stuff of



Wrestling Talent in the ring
Mic Skills
Draw Power



This poll does not just mean Wrestling Moves in the ring.

Beautiful, just beautiful. I voted for HHH. No real reason, I just liked him in 2000.

[Neodymium]

Trips. He can put on a good match, at least.

Every Hogan match is boring.

Hogan cut better promos? Yeah right...

No one can touch 2000 HHH...

[MGH]

HHH in 2000 was one of the best in a long time.

['Sweet n' Sour' A. A. Estrada]

Hogan DOES have some of the most hilarious interviews of all time under his belt.

Triple H is just better all around, however, except in terms of makin' money.

Oh, and concerning your sig, miss that too, Greatest Hour.

Never thought I'd say that.

I'd dfinitely say Hogan, ESPECIALLY in 1987. If I'm going to be unbiased, Hogan, in my opinion, has everyone beat in terms of what was important to the business in his time compared to what's important to the business in someone else's time. HHH was great though, but I think it's mainly because of Austin's absence, but stil great.

I think the main difference between HHH and Hogan, was that HHH excelled at playing off of the standard, while Hogan would set the standard.

Hogan, he was untouchable in my eyes in the 80's and early 90's, and he still is

[seanwalsh]

Did HHH set any indoor attendance records in 2000?

Answer: No, he did not.

I honestly don't know why people make polls like this. You could put "Hogan 1987 vs. Shelton Benjamin 2004" and Benjamin would win in a landslide. This is a smark message board. Seriously, how difficult is it to understand that people here don't like Hogan, Warrior, Cena, Goldberg, Andre, or anything else that was popular and drew money at a certain period of time?

More polls results:

Bobby Heenan will win every single poll here.

Royal Rumble 1992 will win every poll here.

Hogan and Cena will lose every poll here.

You can buy mint condition Donruss.....factory set.

Got it?

Who can say? If he did, would they credit the top heel?

[Cactus Jack]

Hunter.

[Austin's Middle Finger]

I'm gonna go with Hogan on this one. He'd headlined three Manias up to that point, and carried the entire company during the boom period. I think the 2000 Trips is one of the greatest wrestling characters of all time, but has his time on the top is no where close to how Hogan's affected the business.

And I'd take a short homo-erotic Hogan promo than a 25 minute snoozefest from Trips and Steph.

[bigmackdaddy]

hulk hands down.

[MGH]

Well if the poster isn't asking who drew more, or who was more popular, or who was more important, and just asking who's better ..... my answer is still Hunter.

[Cousin Judge]

Oh puh-lease. Hulk Hogan in ANY year would whip HHH's ass, but 1987? The year when he headlined the BIGGEST wrestling PPV of all time, set indoor attendance records, TV ratings records....I mean come on.

Hogan is the standard of wrestling and 1987 was his peak year. HHH is some mug who just happened to be there during an up turn. Lord knows his pathetic little juvenile pranks with DX in the years before 2000 hardly set the wresting world on fire. Austin and Rock were the one's who exploded WWE back up to the top, HHH was just...there. No way can the two be compared.

[Copeland]

Triple H. I think he's overall better, better promos, MUCH better matches and he has hair ;D

Bingo. It's no use explaining it though. Like I said, anything that is popular or draws money is instantly a product of hype and no substance according to this forum. Even The Rock had detractors like that (and he still would if he didn't leave wrestling......now he has the benefit of nostalgia). It's mind boggling.

In 1987, Hogan set an indoor attendance record with Andre. The TV ratings for SNME that year? 11.6, 9.5, 9.7, etc (his rematch with Andre on The Main Event in early 1988 drew a 15.2). Wrestling was a pop culture success in the '80's mainly because of Hogan. Hell, WrestleMania wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for Hogan, and his work in 1987 was a big part of making that event what it is today (WM III). There is no comparison. Triple H rode Rock's coattails two years after Austin and Rock already popularized the industry again. He was given a super heel push that really could of gone to anyone, because anyone put up against The Rock was going to draw and put on a great match.

Oh well. Let the smarks have their thread. I'm eagerly awaiting the "who had a bigger impact on the business, Andre or Charlie Haas?" thread. Haas of course will get 80% of the vote.

Triple H in 2000 was the absolute best the WWF had to offer.
