April 23, 20188 yr According to a recent YouGov survey: Hulk Hogan - 95% The Rock - 94% John Cena - 79% Steve Austin - 78% Ronda Rousey - 68% See the rest of the list here: The Most Recognized Professional Wrestlers, According to YouGov

April 23, 20188 yr The fact that Andre the Giant isn't even listed makes we question the survey. Surely he would be one of the most recognized wrestlers on the planet. Very unscientific survey. Basically uses the YouGov results and draws conclusions. Does Andre the Giant even have a YouGov entry?
