As for Austin, he never had that much success as a heel, whereas it totally revitalized Hogan's career. That imo is the big difference between them.
The point with The Rock though is that the very fact that he didn't have longevity is because his peak was so much higher than Hogan's. It's like trying not to take a guy in a college football draft because he skipped his senior year to go to the NFL. Yeah, you might get less time with him but he was obviously the best while he was there.
Also, while I know this technically isn't supposed to be considered, there's no way that The Rock can get popular enough to leave unless he's in a huge national fed. So basically, your federation will have succeeded against all the other feds and bought them out if this even becomes an issue in which case he's a great pick. If he doesn't single-handedly take your fed to the top, you should get to keep him into his 40s.
