Hulk wasn't the most technically superb wrestler of all time by any stretch of the imagination. That being said, you name another "Superstar" that was as big/famous/marketable as him.

Watching it with my son right now. I don't know sow Hogan and Flair aren't in the top ten. Big time wrestling icons. Their list is obviously flawed.
shareTo be honest, I don't know a lot about wrestling (I have a passing interest in it), but I was really surprised that Hulk Hogan was #23, meanwhile John Cena is up higher? Cut me a break.

This really was ridiculous. My only guess is that Hulk Hogan spent most of his glory years in the WCW, competitor with WWF. Even though WWF bought out and merged with WCW, making WWE they still want to highlight WWF superstars
There really is no comparison between Hulk Hogan and the Rock. The Rock was a great superstar in wrestling for the time being and raise a big fan base (where is he now in wrestling?), Hogan was popular in the 80's, 90's, and even 2000's as a wrestler and yet the Rock out ranks Hogan? Since the Rock was a product of the WWF, for this countdown yes.
Also notice how there was no metion of Sting (classic and contemporary superstar) and Goldberg. Why? Because they were mainly products of the WCW.
I found this countdown entertaining and informative, especially of the older wrestlers who I had never heard of but were crucial to the sport, yet the countdown is flawed due to bias of the WWF compared to WCW.
Hogan was probably the worst pure wrestler in the history of wrestling. His charisma is what got him over. He meant more symbolically than what he offered in the ring.
shareI completely agree.
This list was totally bias. I skipped ahead once 23 was announced and went to the top ten.
Hogan should have been in the top 3 let alone the top 10. I didn't even know that the ultimate warrior and sting didn't even make the list.
This needs to be redone by the fans and not but WWE and their croonies.
the list is called the 50 greatest superstars.....not wrestlers if it was Dean Malenko would be number 1. That being said.....i know he was never a member of the WWE but what about Sting, howbout Booker T? Those two should be on the list. I also wish Arn Anderson, my all time fav was there but that might be a stretch

I watched #23 then I turned it off, so flawed.
