Oh wait, hold on, I got my wires crossed on Sherry and Miss Elizabeth. I meant to say Miss Elizabeth. My bad. Although since I got her name wrong I withdraw my statement on her since it would be hard to argue on that now.
My Bella point still stands though. |

One could argue Stacey Keibler was more popular since she was dating Clooney and got a lot of fame from that.

Across the board. Random people. Any age range. If you asked a hundred people who they were like 90-95 would know who Chyna is. Elizabeth might get like... 20. It would not be close.

No logical reason that would be the case. Elizabeth was a big deal at the height of Hulkamania.

I can only imagine you're just talking about wrestling fans specifically? In which case, it's much closer obviously but Chyna would still be known by more.

Sure it was. Elizabeth, while she was part of the main event scene, did not get NEARLY the mainstream attention Chyna got though. Wrestling was pretty huge in pop culture during Chyna's time AND she actually went on to do other things that got her known outside of wrestling. In the internet age where shit gets spread like a wildfire, no less. Chyna's gotta be at least 10 times more famous than Elizabeth and I really don't think that's an exaggeration.

I think you guys are reeeeeeeealy over-estimating how much common people give a shit about wrestling chicks enough to know them from a popular wrestling storyline even at the height of its popularity. If you don't know/care about wrestling, you don't know/care who Miss Elisabeth is. If you don't know/care about wrestling, you still are very likely to know who Chyna is.

If Chyna did nothing but wrestle, you might have a point (Though the "entire card" wasn't pop culture in the 80's either, so it's kinda moot.) She didn't. She went on to do other things and get a lot of mainstream attention. Liz did not. Liz is known to people who know wrestling. Chyna is known to people regardless.

I am pretty sure at this point more people know who Chyna is. She had her porn, shes been on Howard Stern, she was much more relevant in pop culture than Miss Elizabeth recently.

You'd have more people who HAVE had contact with pop culture in the past 30 years but haven't had contact with pro wrestling ever. And they wouldn't know Liz.

If they haven't had contact with pop culture in 30 years, I doubt they would've been that in contact with pop culture 30 years ago. Even if they did, Miss Elizabeth wasn't exactly Vanna White.

What? No. The average person grows less in less involved with pop culture ss they age. Thats just how it works.

Kurt Angle is currently pushing for the WWE to not just ignore his TNA career like they did with others.

Sorry.
In terms of debate, the general public or mainstream is going to know Chyna a lot more than Miss Elizabeth or Sherri and probably even combined. Wouldn't be surprised if most people only remember Miss Elizabeth if Macho Man's name gets invoked or as just being that person who was around Macho Man most of the time. |

If I been watching wrestling since the beginning of the NWO and have no idea who Sherri is I doubt anyone outside the wrestling culture knows.
