Do You Consider The Rock And Stone Cold Bigger Than Ric Flair?

I used to think so because they were hotter in their short time on top but Flairs cultural resurgence this generation has made me reconsider. Rock and Austin are very much still products of the 90s which we haven't fully revisited yet. Flairs mannerisms, phrases, etc are somewhat timeless. He might have the edge.
Makes me wonder what Me Too/Cancel Culture would think of Macho Man if he were still around. He was just starting to involve himself back in wrestling before he passed.

There is no star like Rock in pro wrestling history.

Yes
Austin to me is only behind Hogan and Rock got so over he became the biggest movie star in Hollywood ... Flair wasn't reaching the same type of audience Hogan and WWF were

Yes,
flair is only relevant still cause he hung around so long and actually lived his gimmick. Stone cold and rock in 5 years did more inside and outside the business than flair has in 20 years and they made an bigger impact.
Flair was only really the man in the 70's and 80's

Absolutely.
Flair is the GOAT wrestler by a long shot, now when it comes to cultural popularity/notoriety its Dwayne even though the last few years, Flair has become incredibly popular with this new generation/crossover

This press run Austin did recently for his new show really showed how popular and wanted he still is.
Rock obv is the biggest wrestling star ever due to his movie career.
Flair's longevity in popularity is pretty impressive too.
I'd say when it comes to mainstream popularity Rock is at the highest level because he's the biggest movie star in the world, then a tier below would be Austin, Flair, Hogan, Macho Man, and dare I say...Taker?
