If you asked 100 randos what would the top 5 actually be?

Rocky
Hulk
Taker
Cena
Macho?

Like do non wrestling fans actually know any active wrestlers?

Chuck Tingle knows Bryan. He described him as "a handsome buckaroo on THAT BELLAS SHOW" I believe.

Please, this is all I have
it would vary from person to person but my mom knows who The Miz and Maryse are because they have a reality show and my sister knows who the bellas, john cena, and bryan danielson are because of total bellas. neither have watched wrestling before

Total fuckin' silence.
All these hypothetical scenarios about no one knowing wrestlers and you're all forgetting the TNA Family Feud from like 2010 where Mick Foley was seemingly the only one Steve was familiar with.

He's famous because his name was Andre, and he was a giant.

I did make a top ten of sorts on this but assuming that Cena is retired for the most part, I'd say no. Roman doesn't have the same impact likely due to being heel when the mainstream media when they're interested want faces (This is likely ad-driven). Hogan retained some cultural cache after joining nWo (which helps to explain why it went over like it did) but I chalk it up to the uniqueness to the media of a shakeup regarding long established norms (The Death of Superman being another example).

Maybe it because I rarely watch, or Reigns is rarely around. But when did they give him one belt instead of holding two?
