Lesnar has to be on the list. From the time he failed to make the NFL and was all over sports shows for that to his run as UFC Heavyweight champion, I think to the average person on the streets his name is much more recognizable than a Triple H or Shawn Michaels

I never found Lesnar to be that big of a wrestling star tbh.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Are we isolating this to how big of stars they were as wrestlers? I was taking all things into consideration in the business and outside of the business. obviously Hogan and Rock are the two biggest because they've had more exposure from Hollywood. Much like Lesnar got tons of exposure from his failed NFL follies and UFC exploits

I was judging from strictly there WWE periods. In which I don't see how Austin can be 4th, but now you've explained it.

That's up to you guys. When Brock Lesnar is brought up his WWE past comes up quite a bit, and he was THE top guy for a good chunk of time as they were building Cena, Orton, Batista, and Edge. Either side is defendable, while he was in WWE he was far from a house hold name.

No love for Warrior? And it's painful to see Michaels left out of so many...

My list wasn't really in order, just as they came to mind

Hogan is #1 and Austin #2. Past that, it's hard to say who can get ranked in what order. It really depends on a lot of factors (drawin gpower, impact on the business, legacy, etc.) and it's hard to quantify and get an exact answer. But I'm certain that Rock, Undertaker, Cena, Andre and Savage would all be on there somewhere.

In your opinion.

Hogan being #1 isn't even a question. If you went up to 1,000 people on the street and asked them to name a wrestler 999 would name Hogan.
