Stone Cold Steve Austin might be the greatest WWE Superstar of all time. Another person that comes into that conversation is WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan. Moreover, Hogan has previously commented on this very subject. He made clear who he thinks is the greatest of all time when it comes to wrestling.
However, Hogan’s choice for the greatest pro wrestler of all time was neither him nor Austin. He chose The Nature Boy Ric Flair to be at the top spot. Consequently, he then declared that he himself comes at the second spot and gave Stone Cold the third spot below him. This led to a big reaction by fans online and since then Hulk has clarified his position on the subject.

The debate for whom amongst these WWE legends is truly the greatest of all time is an old one. This debate has gone on and will continue to go on amongst the wrestling community forever. However, when it comes to draws, Stone Cold and Hogan remain amongst the top ones.
