>>10750096Hogan is a fossil who is remembered negatively by the masses if at all. In 2006 he was doing the William Shatner roast with Andy Dick, Lisa Lampenelli and Gilbert Gotfried. This was before he got caught saying the nigger word. A bunch of D list dweebs were calling him a cuck all night, and that was only 4 years after he had his match with The Rock at Wrestlemania 18. Not exactly someone who has transcended. Macho Man may be remembered as the Slim Jim guy to boomers. John Cena is a no one outside of wrestling. Andre is a circus sideshow, they remember him like they remember Manute Bol or Mini-Me. Someone to stare at and pity.
Dwayne is the only guy who has transcended wrestling. He’ll be remembered as an actor and his days in the scuzzy world of wrestling are a footnote like Arnold’s days in bodybuilding. Just a thing he did for a few years and was good at before he got famous.
Were these guys draws in wrestling? Sure. Were they draws in pop culture? Nope.
