Superstar
I put Randy King Savage because his my favorite, and he has influenced many in and out the ring. Anytime most people on sitcoms or movies do their little wrestling talk they always using Macho Man's voice 'oh yeah' ... shyt Ashton Kusher on Punk always did it.
Just under Savage, Is Mr.Perfect he is one of my favorites and Bret Hart said the most gifted wrestler he has been in the ring with, and no bad stories about Curt and he was always ribbing people. Xpac said 'he took him, nash, hall, etc under his wing' Curt was the man.
But i think the right answer has to be Hulk Hogan, he had yellow and red as popular as Mcdonalds and he is basically a true culture icon not just wrestling.

It's completely subjective, so there are no wrong answers. But in my opinion, it's definitely The Rock. 
He transcended the wrestling game like no other, Hogan's a distant second in that regard and nobody else is close to Hogan. Rock is a genuine mainstream celebrity. Almost everybody knows who he is.
He was very good in the ring. Not necessarily the best worker, but definitely a very good worker with great selling ability and (in his prime) stamina.
Played both heel and face roles extremely well.
Cut promos better than anybody including Flair (yeah, Flair was great, but occasionally he sounded like he had a mouth full of marbles. Rock was always clear, articulate and damn funny; Flair at times didn't make a lot of sense). Rock had more memorable catchphrases than anybody.
Put over a LOT of guys to make them bigger stars and never put up an argument about doing that, so he put wrestling above himself many times, which is rare.
Represents wrestling in the mainstream better than anyone else. No scandals. He's not a drunk or a drug addict, he's not broke, he won't be wrestling into his 60s like some people do because they need the cash. He's the opposite of what Mickey Rourke's character in "The Wrestler" represents, and what a lot of non-fans perceive wrestlers to be.

No one has truly knocked Hogan off the top yet.
Austin and Rock came pretty damn close, though.

Austin's numbers don't compare to Hogans when inflation is considered and no Internet
Wrestling was at its highest point in the 80s a snme had like 30 rating once on NBC.
But it's tough to really settle it because Hogan represented what the 80s was...he was like a bigger version of Tim Tebow at a time when America was rising and in a golden era of economics and up and coming technology
The 90s Austin brought wrestling back and represented a new youth that was more outspoken and rebellious and created a realistic "good guy" who people could relate too since he curses and drinks beer...it's honestly the only logical way to create a new superstar because you can't just recreate the Hogan archetype because it belongs to Hulk...it's why Cena is getting booed and it's tough for anyone to break through and change the game because both extremes of faces are owned by Hogan and Austin and Rock is like Austin but the cocky kind of jersey shore conceite version of Austin anti-hero
Also this poll will be hogwash because most posters here grew up on the attitude era and didn't experience the 80s boom to really understand it

Your objective semi-troll
Just focused on wrestling with my vote. Going with Bret for the simple reason that he extracted the best out of anyone, especially no talent scrubs/big men especially.
WM13 with Austin/WMX with Owen are just unfukkwitable matches to me. Just perfect, storyline driven, heated classics.
But if this is factoring everything ie: merch sales/mainstream appeal/highest peak/promos/movies/house draws etc. too then that's another story as it would really just be between Terry/Dwayne/Steve imo.

Ric Flair
Hogan as a face, no matter how much I despise his ass.....
Flair as a heel.
These are the only two logical answers.
