Sorry yeah that was corny.
Honestly, I think the only "level" left for him is that Rock/Stone Cold/Hogan/ Flair legendary type level.... and I don't think he'll make it to that point, he doesn't have the mic skills or ability to display the charisma necessary to reach that spot.

Plus, those guys that reached truly legendary status like Rock/Hogan/ Austin, had amazing opponents who contributed to their legacy. Austin had notable feuds with the likes of Shawn, HHH, Rock, and Vince all in their prime. Rock had those same people. Hogan had Savage, Warrior, Andre...

Randy, by no fault of his own, is in a watered down era of wrestling in terms of star power. Don't get me wrong, there's lots of star potential, but few stars have been created out of it. Yes you can say he beat HBK and Foley, and punted McMahon but I don't think those things register the same as when Austin beat HBK or stunned McMahon. That trail has been blazed already and was blazed when those guys were in their prime.
