Why aren't current era wrestlers considered celebrities and nobody knows who they are? The last big names were rock and cena.

It probably has something do with wrestling viewership dropping 75% in the past 20 years.

Vince shifted his focus from building up 1-2 megastars to making the brand the attraction. Almost everyone in the world knows in an abstract sense that WWE exists but almost nobody can actually name one of their wrestlers other than Cena and maybe Randy

Because modern wrestling is extremely unpopular and nobody from this era is a celebrity.

A Tier
>John Cena
>Macho Man
>Stone Cold
>Ric Flair
>Batista

B Tier
>Brock Lesnar

I think Austin could have been bigger(in terms of current mainstream popularity) but he just did his own thing for a while and I respect that

The new wrestlers are those e-celebs like Logan and Jake Paul who do fights and wrestling matches.

believe it or not, a lot of normies know who Yokozuna is for some reason.
Even when i was a kid and we wanted to make fun of fat people we'd say look at yokozuna over there.

Also bump flair and stone cold up, they are in so many rap songs and are world wide

Roman's the only one who's even close because he was in Fast & Furious and even random NBA analysts like Charles Barkley know who he is.

Brock is A Tier. He was a top UFC star when it was at its peak popularity. Rousey would also be B tier if you consider her a WWE star.

>>8471675
No one I know that doesn't watch wrestling have a fuckin clue who Roman is
The last wrestling person that went mainstream was Cena and The Rock is far more Famous than him
The Rock is probably the last wrestler you could compare to Hogan as having a Name everyone has heard of
