You must be a Hulkamaniac, because Stone Cold sold more merchandise than Hulk Hogan could ever dream of(nWo merch doesn't count, as that was a group effort, not a solo effort).
Besides, fans loved Stone Cold's gimmick just as much as they did the nWo, DX or The Rock's gimmick. That's what kept the Attitude Era very interesting. Hell even Val Venis got over with the fans very quickly because of his porn star gimmick.
While everyone booed the shit out of someone like Kurt Angle during his debut. Fans didn't give a fuck about a milk drinking boy scout carrying olympic gold medals. They cared about a beer drinking redneck flipping middle fingers giving people Stone Cold Stunners. They cared about a bunch of degenerates saying "Suck It". They cared about the nWo 4 Life shit. They cared about a guy who raised his eyebrow telling people Know Your Role & Shut Your Mouth.
They don't give a shit about a nobody who may be very talented in the ring. They give a shit about a cruiserweight who jumps around with an umbrella, looking like a fruity faggot and is pale as fuck. They don't give a shit about a horse faced feminazi talking shit about bra & panties matches. Fans only care about great gimmicks & great storylines. WWE isn't delivering either unfortunately. They are creatively bankrupt.
