The future?

Currently, it could be argued that WWE is more of an ensemble show than one with a particular star. Drew McIntyre is holding the WWE Championship on RAW, while the Universal title is held by Braun Strowman.

While capable both in the ring and on the mic, neither is really seen by fans or promoters as the 'face of the company. So, who will be the next Hulk Hogan? Or will there be any attempt to recreate this type of phenomenon again? If you're tossing names around for a contemporary analogy to Hogan, Keith Lee's should be at the top of the list.

There are other names bandied about as well; Adam Cole of the Undisputed Era has Superstar written all over him. Other contenders to be the next Hulk Hogan could be female, such as Charlotte or Asuka.

Will pro wrestling ever see another cult of personality like Hulk Hogan? Only time will tell.

Thanks for taking this trip down memory lane with us, and we'll see you next week!
