Tbf no one has ever done great on he west coast. But that's where he primarily drew his numbers.
I cant speak for Canada im not Canadian but i am a southerner. Hogan was nothing down here and being on NBC did change that. We watched TBS. To my knowledge NWA never made any effort to expand into CAN be WWF going into SE CAN isnt exactly a far drive, still essentially regional.

The WWF did tour the south a lot. They were on Arsenio Hall constantly , Regis and Kathy Lee etc...all National shows.
