He wasn't a fighter, he was a performer so no I don't.

but i am sure he could give them a bit of a run

just because he was a performer does not mean he can not fight

bruce lee and chuck norris were also performers

I'm working on a thesis called "Being in the Right Place at the Right Time." And I'm using Hulk Hogan as a case study.

I respect what Hogan did for the wrestling business, but he was a paper champion who was grossly overprotected by promoters and limped his way to every title he ever won without ever working hard. He was handed virtually everything he accomplished, as opposed to twenty hard working wrestlers I could name off the top of my head who never won the WWF World title because Hogan always held it.

Look, these are the facts: Back in '77, "Superstar" Billy Graham was the WWWF World champion, and the guy Vince McMahon Jr wanted to build the company around. Problem is, McMahon didn't have much say in the matter; his father still owned the company, and Daddy McMahon was old-school...He wanted Bob Backlund, a wrestler with an amateur background, as long-term champion. Thus Graham, whose great charisma and limited wrestling ability (plus the roided physique) made him directly comparable to Hogan, dropped the title, in spite of the fact that he was the superior draw. In other words, Graham would have made the company more money than Backlund with a long title reign.

Fast forward to 1984, two years after Vince Jr assumed control of the WWF. McMahon, still envisioning old dreams, hired Hogan to fill the role that might have been Graham's if his father was a bit less old-fashioned. In other words, Hogan was in the right time, right place. If Vince Jr had been in control of the company in '77, Graham would have likely had his 5-year run with the belt, and Vince probably would have introduced the changes that were made in the industry through the ensuing years through the "Superstar." In which case, Hogan would have no longer appeared distinct. As uniqueness and distinction (as in an indelible quality that makes a wrestler stand out) are important aspects of any main event wrestler, Hogan most likely would not have beaten the Iron Sheik at the Garden in 1984, and therefore would not have gone on to have the career he had.

Put Hogan in a shoot with your average professional wrestler, even your average wrestler without an amateur background, and Hogan would have gotten his @$$ kicked in short order. Due to his limited ring skill, Hogan in his prime, would not fare too well in an environment in which the matches are shoots, as opposed to works.

Sorry, man.

Hogan only ever had the charisma. He was lousy wrestler who only had a couple moves and they weren't all that great, but you could say that about most wrestler at he time. Hogan became the forefather of what became a whole slew of wrestlers with no ring talent, but they knew how to work a crowd.

Hulk Hogan was still a horrid wrestler in his prime, so he would get smashed in UFC.
