Re: Would WCW Have Been Successful Without Hulk Hogan?
I would say probably not. Hogan was the true superstar even during that era, despite his face gimmick having already ran its course and even caused him to get boos during the last few years of his WWF run. Having him join the NWO and revolutionized heels turned out to be a smash hit for about 2 years until the novelty wore off, the WCW ran out of ideas, and the WWF stepped it up in several huge ways.
As for TNA, they have repeated many of the same mistakes WCW made in pushing the same stars and not giving many new stars a true chance to shine.
