yeah but he never was famous outside of wrestling. My teachers in school knew Austin, but they didn't really know Goldberg. I couldnt call my mom now and say "You remember that wrestler Goldberg" she's gonna say "Who", but if I called and said "You remember Stone Cold" she'll know.
That's kinda my point, even tho Cena has appeared to seem have a hell of a run, which i can agree to, up to a point. The average person walking the street really doesnt know him. They don't have to, but everybody knew Bruno Sammartino/Hogan/Austin/The Rock... he's a notch below that to me personally. Even though he's marketed to be on that level. he aint. He's like Goldberg, HBK level, every wrestling fan knows them, but I dont think people know him without ever seeing one of his matches. Maybe im wrong tho.
on another note.
The Network has really given me a whole new appreciation of Stone Cold. That man was unparalleled, as much as I love The Rock, I have to be honest and say I think Austin was just a notch better. I gotta do a Rock appreciation week too tho. Just to compare. Austin was a god tho, swag is unmatched.
