People like Hulk Hogan and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson end up becoming household names. Is the Undertaker in the same category?




What do you say?

I'd say yeah. Probably not on the exact same level as The Rock and Hulk Hogan, but on the next rung

Nah. He never did much outside of professional wrestling.

As big a star as he is within WWE, he has almost zero exposure outside of WWE. Someone who hasn't watched a single WWE program will most likely have no idea who he is, even if a wrestling fan described him.

Im a big wrestling fan, and Id say no.

Id imagine there are 3 levels...

Megastar = Rock & Hogan... they transcended wrestling beyond the industry

Big name wrestlers = Austin (due to simply being the most popular wrestler ever), Savage (known for the Slim Jim ads), and possibly Flair & Cena. Andre wouldve been in this category at one point, but has likely fallen out over time.

Everyone else = All other wrestlers, pretty much known by wrestling fans only

The Miz (he's been in plenty of movies and TV/reality shows in recent years) and Batista (just because Guardians Of The Galaxy got so huge) are two more that I might put in this tier for becoming popular outside of wrestling.

Good call. Knew Id forget some people. Id be curious to what extent the people who know Batista actually know he was previously a wrestler, or if they only know him as Drax.

He fits into the same zone as like Roddy Piper, or Macho Man, as if he's a crazy character from the 80s. He isn't a household name or anything, but he's basically the step lower. Like anyone who recognizes say, Jake the Snake would probably also recognize the Undertaker.

That said, anyone who heard of him and didn't watch wrestling who be shocked to hear he only really retired earlier this year. Or even that he was a big name in the late 90s and even throughout the 2000s

I've seen that "Undertaker emerges from a flaming coffin while Randy Orton looks scared" meme template on so many social media sites this year that I'll argue he's well-known now just for that meme.

Before that, I would have agreed with the "he has barely any exposure outside of WWE" comments. But he's a meme now.

Fuck, I forgot about that. I think you might be right.

You ask a 60-year-old from the North about wrestling and the only names they'll give you are Hogan and Piper.

Undertaker is definitely recognizable outside of wrestling. Lots of people I know who dont watch wrestling know who he is.

I was gonna say he's a Tennessee governor now and that's why I know who he is, but that's Kane, lol

Basically the wrestlers I have heard of are Hulk Hogan, John Cena, The Rock, Kane, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Andre the Giant, and The Undertaker. I have never watched a full event in my life. I remember some Shamrock guy, but don't know his name.
