Hey Scott...
I was hoping you could settle an old argument that I have had for years. Who do you think would be the top money draw of all time? I know you would have to take into consideration the value of the dollar, say, 20 years versus today. Plus, merchandise and things of that nature. But I still maintain it would be Hulk Hogan. My friends think it would be Austin or Flair but, I still maintain after his run in the 80s plus his nWo years he had to be the top dog. If you already have covered this then just shoot me the link and I'll be on my merry way
Austin, by far and away, is the biggest money-generator in the history of professional wrestling. His merchandise alone made more money than Hogan by a factor of something like 100. Austin makes more off residuals and shirt sales even today than most wrestlers pull in off their entire contract. I don’t have the exact numbers handy, but even accounting for inflation and Hogan’s WCW years, it’s still not even close.
