"My ninety-year-old grandmother could do a better leg drop than Hulk Hogan." -- Lou Thesz.

It seems that fans and critics aren't the only ones who want to hate on the Hulkster. Even his fellow wrestling legends have bad things to say about him.

However, with all respect to Mr Thesz, who is a celebrated legend himself, it doesn't matter if Hogan's leg drop wasn't perfectly executed. That's because the entire arena from pillar to post was rock solid on the side of the Hulkster.

In terms of technical wrestling ability, Hogan may not have been the man of a thousand holds. However, in terms of being a great performer who could tell a story in the ring, he was one of the best to ever lace up a pair of boots.

Hogan is synonymous with wrestling for a good reason. In fact, there's a good chance that you're reading this article now, and are a wrestling fan, because of Hulk Hogan. His popularity helped bring pro wrestling and WWE out of the darkly lit bingo halls and into the mainstream, a feat that should never be discounted.
