Do you guys think that John Cena will become as legendary and as iconic to wrestling as Hogan is?

Not even close. Hogan's name is synonymous with pop culture and Cena's never will be.

Do you think any of the current crop will become as iconic as Hogan?

No though I'd say he's more like the Rock

Nope. Hogan's a once in a lifetime guy. Rock would be closest but he'll eventually be known as an actor as opposed to a wrestler. As I've said before, ask any random to name a "pro wrestler" and 9 times out of 10 they'll say Hogan.

Pretty hit the nail on the head there, Fuji. Even with as much as I like John Cena, I don't think so. Sure, he's a household name with today's generation of kids, but I don't think he'll ever be on the same level that Hulk is on.

There is no way he gets thay big. Cena is huge don't get me wrong but hogan is the guy who made all of the possible in part to himself and vince for the way he was pushed. Again I would like to point out Hogan is the only pro wrestler to be on the cover of a sports illustrated magazine and no sports magazine credit wrestling as a sport since it is choreographed but none of their athletes can do what they can on a daily basis. We won't see someone else in that role til we have a new wrestling boom. Which is by my guess around the next 4-5 years.

Nope. Rock is the closest(all though I think Stone cold was a bigger star at the time).
