Chris Jericho recently celebrated 30 years in the pro wrestling business, and he passed many legends during his career. The Wizard crossed paths with Hulk Hogan during his career, but that doesn’t make them similar.
Eric Bischoff recently opened up on 83 Weeks about Chris Jericho and Hulk Hogan. He tried to compare the two, but then he relented that it is really impossible to compare the two.
“You can’t really compare Chris Jericho to Hulk Hogan, just because of the eras and the nature of the business and the condition of the business at that time.”
“Hulk Hogan was one of the first major wrestling talents that crossed over in such a monster way. Sports Illustrated, Johnny Carson, Hulk Hogan was everywhere and arguably Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon changed the wrestling industry and I don’t think either one of them individually would’ve been able to pull off what they pulled off.'”
There are many comparisons in the pro wrestling business. Obviously, Hulk Hogan is a measuring stick for a lot of people. If you ask Eric Bischoff, you should never compare The Hulkster to Chris Jericho.
