hahaa.. listen I didnt say I like the guy. I also was careful to say "modern media history", not like 'world history'.

lol I think you're lumping him in with other gross old trashy blonde guys with shit eater mustaches that look like him

but seriously just to say- respectfully, like the majority of people living in a country with a robust global pop culture would know who he is. he was THE GUY in the 80s. Iconoclastic- like essentially every living person over 25 in Japan, Australia, Ireland, Mexico, Finland etc will likey know who Hulk Hogan is if you show them a photo of him tearing that hulkamania shirt off of his oily leathery body in the WWF ring.. he's possibly the most famous pro wrestler of all time.

Dog the Bounty Hunter? I just really don't think so.
