Also I might be wrong but off the top of my head don’t think Hogan was ever accused of sexually harassing anybody which gives him a leg up on Flair regardless of all the other stupid poo poo he’s done

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

To balance it out, Jesse Ventura wanted to start a wrestlers' union and Hogan snitched to Vince about it.

The NWA did the same thing to Thunderbolt Patterson

Hogan has been accused of sexual assault and had a complicated legal situation that resulted in a settlement.

They are almost exactly the same guy except Hogan tells more funny lies and Flair has more good matches.

Flair will probably have to keep wrestling after his death due to all the back taxes he owes. Also he tried to put up the NWA championship belt as collateral for two separate loans.

Hogan saying the n word and talking about how he didn't want his daughter to date a black person to impress Bubba the Love Sponge's wife was a major factor in the fall of online media. It also made Bubba the Love Sponge broke so it kind of evened out.

That's because I think they're mostly just depressing. Flair's history is pretty much entirely "spend like he's actually the Nature Boy, go deeply into debt which probably includes paying alimony to his most recent ex-wife, recover slightly, repeat."
