Hogan. Austin's speech was dope but it didn't really have an immediate impact. It wasn't until he started trolling Bret Hart months later that he started making a difference.
Hogan's Hogan's heel turn made an immediate impact. Hogan was the face of professional wrestling for over a decade. If you mentioned pro wrestling to anyone at that time you thought of Hogan. Even today if you mention wrestling to a non wrestling fan and his name will come up along with Austin, The Rock, etc.

Hogan doesnt turn heel, it doesnt get a larger audeince of both casual and wresting fans going "Hey Hulk Hogan is a bad guy now?
"
The Outisiders/NWO gimmick while cool would be only a wrestling angle if Hogan doesnt give it that outside attention as the man who made wrestling famous
In turn that not being there doent help WCW get huge. WCW doesnt get huge, WWF doesnt get any compeition and force them to go with Vince, Austin and DX and the whole attitude era as DX
Remember Austin didnt really blow up until close to a year later after the Austn 3:16 speech, it was a steady build and they did sit on him until 97 when they realized what they had. And if NWO isnt on their necks, who knows if they pull the trigger

ehhh, Hogan's heel turn was basically because his career was at a impasse.
Have y'all forgot he was feuding with the Dungeon of Doom? Might be some of the corniest wrestling of all time.
His run as a face was pretty much dead. So they tried heel, and it revitalized things.
I'm going with Austin...that speech started a slow but steady burn and you could see and feel it coming.
PLUS, Hogan needed Hall & Nash in order for ppl to care.

Y'all are leaving out the fact that everything with Austin was natural and organic
With Hoegan it was literally all controlled and forced upon us until it literally made WCW bankrupt.
Austin's promo was real and changed things for the better. Hoegans changed things for the worse

Simple. Who won the war? Austin and Rocky outlasted the nwo and Goldberg...the 4 Horsemen...all of them. The Hogan heel turn, at the time, felt bigger than anything in wrestling history. It was unbelievable. It was like a dream. The Tyson/Austin angle was the huge impact change over that had everyone watching though for the WWF. That was surreal too.
