Who are wrestling legends?

When I think legend, I think of two types:

A legend within the business (the fans know, the wrestlers know, etc.)
A legend outside the business (the casual fan, random Joe who watches TV and movies)

Within the business I'd say these legends are:
- Hogan
- Flair
- Harley Race
- Zybysko
- Stu Hart
- Vince
- Bret
- HBK
- 'Taker
- Gorilla Monsoon
- Andre
- and many more, just a small list off the top of my head

Outside of the business (which I would call the real icons/legends)
- Hogan
- Steve Austin

These two names are the Michael Jordan, or Wayne Gretzky, or Tiger Woods of wrestling because everyone knows them regardless. Hogan more than Austin overall, but these two still take the cake.

As for your list I don't see that many "legends".... perhaps Macho if he ever gets a chance to put a true end to his career (HoF or something along those lines)
