who has done more for the wwf(e) finically

[Guest cynicalprofit]

So who has made more money for the wwf, rock or austin? and do you think either man has made more for the wwf then hogan?

[Guest Hogan Made Wrestling]

I think Austin has probably made more money than the Rock because he's been around longer, but the Rock has done better over the period he's been there (compare 1998 buyrates with 2000 buyrates for instance). I think they've both made more than Hogan although adjusted for inflation it might be closer.

Austin has definately done more business for the WWF than Rocky.

Austin saved the company from financial disaster ultimately.

Not sure if the Austin has made more cash than Hogan.

[Guest Brian]

Austin had the merchandise and the gates, Rock had most of the gates and the big buyrates.

It's gotta be Austin. When I was in the 9th grade in 1997, you couldn't turn around without seeing an "Austin 3:16" shirt on somebody.

[Guest Brian]

That's because he sold one, on average, that year every minute.

I bet if you adjusted it to inflation Hogan probably beat them both combined.  I figure that the Rock has Austin beat though, as he has been marketed to the general non wrestling public a whole lot more than Austin was.
