I'd say hogan.

Why? - because everyone, AND I MEAN EVERYONE (even my mother) knows Hulk Hogan.

But, for example, she certainly doesn't know Steve Austin.

Austin was popular at a time when more people were watching than ever.

Hogan popular with a larger portion of the total audience at the time.

Draw your own conclusions.

Hogan will always be the Babe Ruth of pro wrestling: the greatest of all time and ultimately "the man." Forever.

Austin is more like the Mark McGuire of pro wrestling: he garnered a lot of interest and brought about a huge following in wrestling that will probably never happen again. Much like the McGuire home-run race will probably never be as big as it was.

Draw your own conclusions. I say Hogan though.
