5 Reasons Hulk Hogan was good for wrestling, and 5 he may not have been so good.

Bad for wrestling: Held down smaller and younger talents.

Hulk Hogan has always managed to wield a great deal of clout backstage in any promotion he works for. Shawn Michaels has stated he suspects Hogan was the reason he never got a main event push until after the Hulkster's departure.

The Hulkster has been known to say that 'people under 40 can't draw' (as in ticket sales.) He once ran down Billy Kidman on an interview, saying Kidman couldn't even 'sell out a flea market.' The incident upset Kidman so much he lambasted WCW into putting him into a program with Hogan.

Hogan's propensity to stay stuck in the same mold has held back many potential hall of fame careers from ever getting off the ground.
