John Cena and Hulk Hogan have often been compared to each other in terms of their status as long-reigning baby face superstars in WWE.
During a recent installment of his Something To Wrestle podcast, longtime WWE behind-the-scenes executive Bruce Prichard spoke about the comparable drawing power that Cena and Hogan had with children during their respective runs on top in the industry leader in the sports entertainment field.
Featured below is an excerpt from the popular pro wrestling program where Prichard touches on this particular topic.
“I think that both owned their era. That’s a toss-up because they were completely different eras, and it wasn’t like Hogan finished up his run, and here comes Cena. It was completely different generations, and it never even, in many ways, had even been exposed to Hulk Hogan by the time John Cena came along. Cena was their only thing, but Hogan was the first. Man, Hulk was a maniac, and that kid audience loved him. Cena never broke, and that audience of kids loved him. Hustle, loyalty, respect. That was his mantra. Say your prayers, take your vitamins, and train. That was Hulk’s. They were different at different times, but they owned their eras.”
