My guess is John Cena would probably be the most recognizable today. The Rock...

There's no one more "Famous" than Hogan and or Andre of any era. They both are Cultural Icons known well outside the world of wrestling. Think you'd have to add Bruno Saamartino (sp?) for those of the 50s decade.

Sorry, but pro wrestling is such bullshit. Complete fakery. The greatest wrestler of all-time? Dan Gable, Cael Sanderson, John Smith, Jordan Burroughs or maybe some Russian. Take your pick.

The dead man deserves a mention for sure.
But probably the rock,hogan and stone cold are the most recognized.

If that is the persona of slumlord, I'm falling in line behind him. Everyone has got to have their own heroes. I guess maybe I may not always reach as high as I should of, I don't know.

You're a f u cking retard. Call names all you want but pro-"wrestling" is a complete fraud and we both know it. Fraud and fakery don't entertain me. Give me real wrestling, real competition any day over the fake stuff. Hulk Hogan? Dr. Death? Neither would've lasted 30 seconds with Bruce Baumgartner or Alexander Karelin. In fact, Baumgarter wrestled "Dr. Death" in college and kicked his ass six ways from Sunday.
