I was at a pub quiz, maybe like 8-10 years ago with a group of about 7 or 8 people of different ages. There was a picture round with pictures of random celebrities to name and The Undertaker was on it. Not a single other person had any clue who he was or what he was famous for.
I think wresting fans in general overestimate how much any wrestler is known to the general public. I’d say your average Joe who doesn’t watch/hasn’t watched wrestling will only know The Rock and maybe Hulk Hogan. Anyone under the age of say 25 probably doesn’t have a clue who Hogan is either. However those under 25 likely know who John Cena is, but most over that age won’t know him other than from Suicide Squad.
I honestly think that’s it. Nobody else commonly known.
