Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4493821, member: 1969"] Hogan for 4 - imagine Backlund for over 5 years before that! The WWE was huge from 84 to 88 with Hogan as champ. Grew massively year after year. Can't blame them for keeping him as champ. It was great for business. 89 though is when fans started to get tired of the formula - post WM5 --perhaps having Hogan chase Savage as some suggested may have worked, or just starting flipping titles more frequently and having more heels would have made sense. They really only started to go that way in 1992. And those characters still stay huge without ever winning any titles. Shows how characters back then were so memorable. [/QUOTE]
