Who was the Michaels of backstage politicking?

It's not even close. Nobody comes anywhere near Hogan.

I thought there was a power struggle between Shane and Steph/HHH, with Shane’s fiefdom Smackdown and Steph/HHH controlling NXT and Raw

shanes only saving grace are his sons; seething cunt steph knows how to work everyone

Hunter buried every wrestler of not the past 20 years. If anything no one cares about past 80s Hogan.
>ib4 nWo
nWo didn't need Hogan. It was all Nash and Hall

>nWo didn't need Hogan
WWE tier revisionism. Hogan made the NWO

lol without hogan, hall & nash would just be the outsiders. southern rasslin traditionalists hate of hogan, their connection to titan tower and the shift in viewership it brought made the nwo what it was.

HHH is still burying people. He forced Becky to apologize to Steph and him, which wrecked her momentum leading up to WM. Even Vince lets people like AJ Styles and Roman Reigns smack him around.

I believe that would be Shaun Michaels

(also, the Michaels of giving the boss head)

Triple H takes this due to not being able to draw dimes like Hogan
When you draw dimes, you're essentially forced to do backstage politicking to a certain degree to secure your spot. Hogan just took it a bit too far at times
Triple H's entire WWE career only played out the way it did due to backstage politicking

LOL you can't possibly be so stupid that you believe that.

In one sense Shawn and HHH are above Hogan in politics because at least Hogan was drawing gigadimes so Vince had good reason to listen to him.

Shawn wasn't a big draw but Vince saw him as the guy so let him get away with murder, and HHH was a nothing wrestler before he started carrying the kliq's bags.

HHH's entire career has been built on a foundation of polticing, he was a nobody in 1995 and now he (almost) owns the company. Its quite impressive actually.

I was honestly thinking about this. Jeff Jarrett is top ten also

>Hollywood Hogan wasn't dimes
Off yourself lad.

if Holywood Hogan was so dimes why was wcw hurting in 98-99?

Hogan worked the courts TWICE. He plays 3D carny chess.

1998 was WCWs most successful year actually.

Yup, WWE, NJPW, WCW, TNA, Hogan always gets exactly what he wants. Usually at the expense of some poor wrestler who needs that spotlight.

it’s all about the game and how ya play it

Vince made sure Shane isn't owning shit since he vehemently hates him plus Haitch and Steph will run him out of the company when Vince fucks off.

Haitch and Steph have more experience though, despite how shitty they are they're still top picks.

>Hogan worked the courts TWICE.
I know the Gawker shit but when was the first time?

steroid trial, when he saved dealer vince from going to jail and vince returned the favor by fucking him over

BASED king carny Hogan. Don't forget he was formally allowed to wear his bandanna in court. living the gimmick

>This is what E drones actually believe
Lmao

Killing the company count as experience?

kek, Trips was such a bitch here. Got injured, came back after months, takes the belt off jericho and then drops it to hogan like a month later. Hogan is the GOAT, proving it by talking vince into giving him the belt in fucking 2002.

based

That's only in kayfabe, in reality Shane sold his shares in the company years ago to start some VOD service in China that flopped.

Hogan, he made guys like Warrior, Rock, Savage, Luger, Sting, etc. better off after feuding with them.

Triple H helped himself, cooled off CM Punk, Undertaker, Orton, HBK, Sting, Booker, Nash, Kane, Benoit, etc., they had to stoop down to his level and were worse afterwards

Also Hogan drew megadimes during his time as the guy while Triple H killed the business and never recovered. The only reason why WWE could survive Gaytch's faggotry was that Rock and Austin already killed the competition and TNA never becoming a true rival company but the Gaytch cancer continue growing to the point it might kill wrestling in America

worked the judge with the support animal clause - absolutely based

U dumb fuck,hogan lost it a month later to taker

You answered your own question. It was Michaels.

seethe some more. old ass hulk hogan took the belt off of trips in two thousand and fucking two. would have loved to see the bitches face when hogan told him what was gonna work for him, brother.

>would have loved to see the bitches face when hogan told him what was gonna work for him, brother.
I fucking love Hogan
