Hulk Hogan made wrestling explode. Andre the Giant was an attraction, yes. Sammartino, Pedro Morales, Bob Backlund and those guys were beloved. Austin was the biggest star of wrestling's greatest era (imo). The Rock was my favorite wrestler for the brief time he wresteled. Bret Hart is my favorite of all time. HBK may be the best of all time, and Undertaker is the embodyment of what people think a wrestler should be.
Hogan is the man, though. Not as a technical wrestler and not as a good guy. I think he's a piece of shit sometimes. But in terms of wrestling, he's THE wrestler. Nobody will ever be more well know for wrestling than he is. Your grandma doesn't know who HBK, Austin, HHH, or CM Punk are. She knows Hulk Hogan.
