If the Internet & IWC were in full swing through Hulkamania in 1984?

Hogan would probably have still been a world icon whether or not IWC approved of him during that time or not. One of the reasons in my opinion that Hogan is considered a world icon is because his passion in terms of drawing fans into his matches despite the fact he was not a good in ring worker. He was kind of like Ultimate Warrior in that he would bring energy to a crowd when he came out and him and Warrior used that as a way to make them a big thing. IWC would probably have not tolerated his matches, because IWC is more interested about the wrestling aspect than they are about guys coming out and bringing energy to a crowd. However in the early to mid 1980s while there were a fair amount of hall of fame wrestlers like Harley Race, Rocky Johnson, Ric Flair, among others there would probably be a fair amount of disappointment with IWC in terms of match quality as opposed to the early 1990s when star power like Bret Hart, Mr. Perfect, Owen Hart, British Bulldog, Undertaker, and of course HBK becoming more of a breakout star during the 90s. It's tough to say whether or not IWC would have wanted Hogan to turn heel, but I would say no because at that time when Hogan was in his prime and just in the beginning stages of his career he was not over by the fans the moment he first came out to the ring. Well if he started off as a heel who knows if he would have still be perceived as a world icon. True Cena did start off as a heel as the rapper gimmick and became this big thing, but there were some people that enjoyed the rapping gimmick and even by some considered it bigger than his current gimmick even though technically speaking it would not be considered true. I like his rapper gimmick better, but anyway that besides the point.
