You might need to expand your horizons. On the historical scale he ranks just above Dog the Bounty Hunter and below Tiger King.

It probably depends on your age. To people my age (gen x) he's definitely more famous than either of those guys. He was all over the place in the 80s.

So was Ronald Reagan, Madonna, Bob Sagat, John Elway, Eddie Murphy and hundreds of other people I won’t bother listing that were more significant than some pro wrestler.

I'm not arguing that he was more significant, just that he was pretty fucking famous. What part about this do you not understand?
