    It’s always a fun discussion when we get to who’s the best ever as there are so many different categories we can list that shifts the top people, so it’s always fun to hear who the greats consider the greats.

    Back in December of 2020 as we headed into Legends Night on Raw, the legendary and top draw of all time Hulk Hogan as he shared his thoughts on who he thinks is the greatest ever.

    In fact, Hogan said Ric Flair isn’t just the greatest of all time but he’s also his hero.

    This is something many of us have argued since these two dominated the 1980s, with Hogan taking the lead thanks to WWE’s video library and Vince McMahon’s vision.

    Flair was the driving force in the NWA as he was their money maker on the same level as Hogan, though without the same visibility in the main stream.

    Flair sets the stage

    In an interview with indiatoday.in Hogan sat down and talked about his career in wrestling and then his thoughts on who he admires.

    “The guy who is my hero, and who I think is the greatest wrestler of all time, that’s Ric Flair. It’s in his blood. He laid the groundwork. He raised the bar that no one has really been able to follow as far as work ethic.”

    This was an awesome moment as Hogan has long been called out for being selfish, lying, and on and on. Yet his selfishness led to some of the greatest moments and often were the best for the business, as for him lying when sharing stories, he’s not the only one that’d done that.

    While this may settle the argument for many, others will hold to the fact that Hogan is credited with being the biggest draw, but Flair deserves his credit as well.

    Imagine what the WWE and NWA would’ve looked like if the two had swapped places.

    Flair has always been the more realistic wrestler and Hogan the entertainer, and imagining how their styles would’ve worked in the different companies is another fun thing for us to banter about.

    Many of us were lucky enough to see these two in action during their prime and relive those moments on video. It’s something we never get tired of, and with each viewing we think of another way one is greater than the other.

    Who do you think is the greatest of all time? Let us know in the comments below.
