Before Hogan, WWF was crap

Fact, when Hogan left the WWF the ratings were already going down. Why do you think Vince tried to pass the torch to the Ultimate Warrior.

Yeah... but WCW wasn't even in the (Television) Pic yet... WWF was still the biggest...
Then Hollywood Hogan premered on WCW (even before nWo came) and WCW started kicking WWF's ass.

Fact, Hogan attached himself to the NWO angle becasue he saw it going places and didn't want to be left behind. I credit Hall and Nash more with the success of the NWO than Hogan. The Outsiders are what made the NWO cool.

Nash and Hall were a Tag team, Hogan is a world championship contender, nWo would have never got as big as is now if it wasn't for Hogan joning... Remember when Hogan was a heel, and Goldberg beat him on Nitro? Did you see how the crowd reacted? They would never get that pissed if Hall and Nash lost.

Fact, when Hogan stopped wrestling for the WCW it was already going downhill worse than it was going downhill in the WWF when he left.

Hogans last visit to the WCW, the ratings were still great... Remember Nash beating Goldberg, and the touch of death by Hogan to Nash? That was all in Hogan's last WCW return, when he left is when WCW went to hell.

Will the ratings go up? Yeah, but probably only a little. I don't expect a huge increase in gates or PPV buys. I even expect the PPV buytrate to go down soon, but that has no refection on Hogan. The WWF is raising prices.

Yeah, wrestlemainia is coming, and you expect the PPV buys to go down... that makes perfect sense.
