I think that's unfair, his Japanese matches were actually full of technical moves.
Hulk Hogan COULD wrestle. They just never had him do so in the US because he was so over with power moves. Hell in some japanese matches he even uses an enzugiri which is saying something considering his size.
Also, even though one of Hogan's main stays was no selling moves....
up until he "hulked" out. I can't think of a wrestler who better sold moves outside maybe Dolph Ziggler.
Hogan could tell a story and make lame monster heels seem like actual threats.
Put Great Khali up against Hogan, and Hogan would of made him look like a real threat... even though you knew he was going to win.
Hogan was a lot like the Undertaker or Big Show. Locked into his moveset more by gimmic then ability.
