While Hogan is probably more well known world wide, in recent years he has become a joke for many.
The Rock is doing great with his Hollywood career, and everyone remembers The Rock from when he was the top babyface in the company. People don't make a mockery of him like so many do of Hogan. Most people will still enjoy it if you call someone a "jabroni" or throw up a People's Eyebrow. I suppose a "Whatcha gunna do brother?!" would get a similar reaction...
Hogan because he is always in the news. Whether it's good or bad doesn't matter. People know who he is.
Rock because he has lots of movies that actually make it to national theatres.
Austin is still known but not as known as Hogan and Rock. Had one movie that that had somewhat success but it was a big cast of big names. Other than that, his outside of wrestling projects sucked.
The Rock and it's not even close. I've talked to sheltered people who didn't know who Chris Rock, Hulk Hogan, and other famous people were, but hey still recognized the Rock.
i would say their pretty equal today. but the difference is that alot of people just know the rock BECAUSE OF HIS MOVIES. not by what he did in wrestling
Hogan ahead of Rock. Rock is well known but going by two names (Rock/Dwayne Johnson) hurts his name recognition, in my opinion. Hogan was absolutely mainstream throughout the 80s and 90s and is all over commercials and television/reality shows, as well as a few bad movies. The Rock was known to most during his wrestling career and has become a bit of a B-action-movie star since then.
Ill go different and Ill say cena. The rock is so well known because he quit out early and started doing movies mainstream thats how a lot of people have heard of him and connect him to wrestling. Cena weather you like him or not owns the wrestling franchise in the market and everyone knows him.
Its between Hogan or Rock. The other two don't come close. I actually can't choose because EVERYBODY knows Hulk Hogan and The Rock. I don't think I have ever met somebody who doesn't lol.
Believe it or not, but a ton of kids do not know who Hulk Hogan is. He hasn't been in a mainstream federation for nearly 10 years, so he is not necessarily house hold name to them. The Rock stays relevant because he does kids movies.
EVERYONE knows who Hulk Hogan is, hes an icon. The rest of them are big, but nowhere near hogan.
