    He was always a Hogan rather than an Okada if you judging his in ring work vs. his mic work at his absolute peak.

    Hogan was only ever so so in the ring when adjusted for the time in US wrestling but his mic work was something else. To deny Hogan as a draw is madness, shit on his ring work or him as a person but not as a draw.

    Punk’s contemporaries such as Joe, Bryan, etc. were all better in the ring, but the other way around when on the mic in WWE.

    His anti-establishment schtick that was perfect for then in WWE doesn’t work on AEW when AEWs selling point is that it’s anti establishment.
