The 5 most recognizable wrestlers

[Randy Parker]

According to a recent YouGov survey:

 

 

Hulk Hogan - 95%

 

The Rock - 94%

 

John Cena - 79%

 

Steve Austin - 78%

 

Ronda Rousey - 68%

Sounds about right.

Sounds about right.

 

I thought Rock would be #1, but I would have guessed at least 4 of those 5.

I thought Rock would be #1, but I would have guessed at least 4 of those 5.

 

Yep. Way I see it is my wife, who's never watched wrestling, knows who all 5 of those individuals are.

I would have thought Ric Flair would have been in the top 5.

I would have thought Ric Flair would have been in the top 5.

 

Yes.

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?

[Randy Parker]

I would have thought Ric Flair would have been in the top 5.

 

Yes.

 

For most of his career, Flair was a regional wrestler while the other 4 had a much more national, and even global exposure during their primes.

 

Getslow is probably right that this isn't the most scientific survey, but I honestly think at least 4 of these are in the top 5. I thought Andre might be #5, but he is in a similar boat as Flair.

Ronda Rousey on the same list as Hulk Hogan when referencing wrestling?

I was a high-school wrestler. Here's an actual unretouched photo of me taking on an opponent:

Ummmmmm?

[Wireman]

Any list that doesn't include Ric Flair is false. That's a fact.

You sure that's your "wrestling" photo?

[archangel]

If Rhonda Rousey walked by me at Fayette Mall I'd never know.

 

Now if the Hulk, Flair, or the Rock did I'd know.
