How do you ensure you're top dog in wrestling. Marry Vince's daughter, of course. Pual Liveck.

kevin nash hardly ever drew a company money, was awful in the ring, and yet somehow convinced wwe and wcw that he needed to be the champ. he also made wcw believe he needed to be the booker. somehow he tricked some people into thinking he was sexy. this man is a genius.

Hogan. You get big-time over by not even exerting a lot of effort on a gimmick.

Well that depends what your definition of the word smart is. Certainly Hogan has made more money out of the business than anyone else who doesn't have the surname McMahon can be considered smart. I don't know if I'd have him as my Phone-A-Friend on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, but he's business smart no question

Hogan. He keeps getting people to pay him, even though he is a no talent, egotistical, politic player who only gave back to the business once.

I went with HHH, just because, but the argument for Kevin Nash because he hasn't realyy done anything but got so much. Another good one would be Stone Cold because I believe that he designed his sirts, which were all GOLD at the time, and also that he used himself to sell himself, even though it wasn't the most popular thing to do at that time.

actually I think that would be Paul Ellering- he is a member of Mensa and a certified genius Hogan draws the wrath of most, but has my respect-he wouldn't be where he is today if he didn't make some ruthless moves, and i doubt he's hurt near as many careers as Vince has-and vince runs the biggest promotion in wrestling

In terms of business smarts, Hogan. He's a washed up man with virtually no talent, but can get the company to make ANYONE job to him, while he gets the big PPV event.

Business wise, Nash or Hogan. Actual Intelligence wise, Raven or Foley.

I don't know if I'd have him as my Phone-A-Friend on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, but he's business smart no question Most people don't know this, but Hogan is an extremely Intellegent Individual. He just dosen't represent what most would think an Intellegent person is supposed to be. I do think that Hogan is the "smartest" man in pro Wrestling, and I'm not talking about politics, which is why I think this thread was started, I'm talking about Business, Psychology, reading a room full of people, ect...ect...

I would vote for Lawler. He got Jerry Jarrett to GIVE him half of the most successful promotion of the territory days, got nationwide attention before Hogan with the Kaufman deal, got hired by Vince with the deal he could still do shots for other companies when no one else could, and gets a check every week for using one percent of his talent and drooling over girls. Plus, he's not a half bad artist.

Well that depends what your definition of the word smart is. Exactly. If you're talking in terms of politics, maybe Hogan or Nash. Probably Nash, since he doesn't have the negative reputation that Hogan does for being a politician. As far as "IQ' intelligence is concerened, I'd have to say Jesse Ventura and Raven are very intelligent individuals.

Business wise, HHH, it's gotta be. Marrying the bosses daughter is always a good business move. Instant job for life, at least until the divorce.
