With movies I agree with you, but Pop Culture, naw. Hulk is a Global Pop Icon, Hulkamania had a 6 year run on Pop Culture in the 80's. Hogan was visiting sick hospitals and shyt, kids across the world talking about how they prey and eat their vitamins, MTV and shyt.

Let's go further NWO nuff said
The Rock is much bigger and much, much, much more successful than the nwo ever was. He's emulated on all levels till this very day. Get fukking real.

Nwo was a real hit for two years but Rock never had a down period. Goldberg passed them up in 98. Lol.

Most did but Hogan was not everywhere like Rock was. He got a boost from Rocky 3 in reality.

You right that did gave him a boost

But.....

Rocky 3 was before Hulkamania, Hulk was wrestling in AWA having fueds with the Great Nick Bockwinkle and Bobby Heenan and in Japan when he played as Thunderlips

Exactly. The Rock got to where he was with no movies. He took over the world Jordan style...Michael Jackson style. Guy had shows and video games named after him after in 3 years..icon status. That's unrivalled greatness. Can't no one touch that...Austin, Flair, Goldberg, Horsemen, nwo, Hogan, Macho, Warrior, Piper, Andre, Bruno, Cena, DX, Eddie...no one. It's unheard of.

I was talking about how his Hulkamania run was over and how he reinvented himself and took over wrestling again and Pop culture.

Wrestlemania 18 tells it all, Rock in his prime as a Face was second fiddle to Hulk, The crowd was chanting Rocky Sucks and cheering Hogan with his heel tactics

False! Rock had the wrestling pedigree and was babied, they tried everything to push Rock, even when he failed they still spent money on Rock.

Get real

Rock at his wrestling peak was never bigger than Austin.

Overall fame? All time?

1a. Hogan
1b. Rock
2a. Austin
2b. Flair

Those 4 wrestlers and MAYBE Andre the giant are the only GLOBAL pop culture icons.

Rock at his peak definit0y was bigger than Austin. When the fukk did Austin have a 2000 year? Ever? Couldn't be 99. Rock outgrew him. Couldn't be 98. 2000 made more than that.

The WWE narrative is to Austin because he got put over in 98 and changed the tide first. But when Rock blew up...ECW was good as dead and WCW had a nail in its coffin because fans chose watching Rock and Austin over that stuff.

Rock's a way bigger movie star than Hogan ever was, but I'd say they're the same as far as fame level in that you'd have to really avoid pop culture not to know who either one is.
