Yeah you're right without Hulk Hogan there to help Vince throughout, Vince would've never even made it to the multi-billions. The WWE was shaped by Hulk Hogan when it first started and everything that has been established and still going on is not thanks to McMahon family, but mainly to Hogan.

No. If it wasnt Hogan it would have been someone else. I do think they both benefited from their relationship though.
WWE made it bigger in the 90's when Hogan was a WCW and WWE had Austin.There are cycles in wrestling sometimes its hot/sometims its not.it has always been that way. Hogan was just the guy pushed way more than all others at the time.

Hulk Hogan seems to think so, but considering him getting screwed out of Mania this year, I'd say Vince doesn't.
Personally, I think Hulk Hogan did make McMahon's fortune for two reasons.
First, he pretty much put WWE on the map and carried it on his shoulders in the 80's and 90's. Then, when he left for WCW, when WWF Attitude took off, it was because they had to figure out some way to replace him. They created Steve Austin and the Attitude Era, AN ENTIRE ERA, to replace one single wrestler.
I'd say that makes him responsible enough.

Its kind of a symbiotic relationship really. If Hogan had not have been so big in the WWF the WWE wouldn't be where it is today and if Vince never hired Hogan he would not be where he is today. Its a push really.

Well, he was definitely part of the "break through" of the WWE. He kind of started the whole "gimic" idea thing in the WWE. But I don't know if he's entirely responsible for Vince's wealth. It's steroid abusing *** whipes who are responsible for his wealth, I.E. (Cena, Batista, Lashley). So, it's who ever sells the most shirts that is reponsible, I guess.

he helped WWE a lot but some other wrestlers like The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Undertaker contributed too.

partially.... the attitude era would be the reason for mcmahons fortune probably bring wrestling more mainstream, which would spark an interest in adverstisers to buy commercial time.

Yes most of it but not all of it and right now the only thing that are making tna's ratings get higher and wwe's ratings go lower is john cena. seriously who wants a wrestler that can make all the other good wrestlers look like chumps?

No he is not. A gullible public is responsible for his wealth.
