I think we're all blowing this out of proportion. Dixie is the CEO of a company that pays a lot of mney to somebody that they view as having a lot of star power. I take it as just being a delusional comment by Dixie to justify Hogan. Like Coke claiming chicken causes obesity or all those "wonderful" WWE did-you-knows which take half-truths and spin things to their advantage. Remember this is the same woman who kept Vince Russo on the payroll for so many years. The answer is Taz right?

I think it was Snooki. She IS undefeated at Wrestlemania.

How could anybody even begin to form an opinion on who is more recognisable worldwide between Hulk Hogan and LeBron James? What an absolutely ridiculous premise to have an arguement on. I couldn't even tell you who would get recognised more walking down my own street, let alone a street in Yemen, or Slovakia, or Paraguay.

I'm sorry. Was the Rock ever parodied/referenced in the internationally acclaimed greatest movie on Earth/Universe SPY HARD like Hulk Hogan was? No? Well, shut up then!

Also those countries in Africa or Asia don't equate Hogan with TNA. I think that's a much bigger point. Hogan still does have big crossover appeal, but I'd guess that the vast majority of those have no clue he's working in TNA...or even who TNA are. That's what they really need to work on. It really is the classic business model. 1. Hire Hogan. 2. ? ? ? 3. Profit! WCW got him in a high-profile angle against their world champion and marketed it as hard as they could. End result, big buys and big business.

Dixie Carter: "Well, if you are walking in a village in Africa would people know who The Rock was"? What the hell is that?! Dixie Carter is racist should be the story here. All black people look the same right?! How would anyone notice "The Rock" in Africa, he's black, everybody else there is black! Dixie Carter is a racist but you can still follow her on twitter.

Barack Obama, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, LeBron James, and Arnold, are just a few that are more recognizable. I would agree on Obama, but the other ones are just as recognizable as Hogan. To be honest, I know that LeBron James is a basketball player, but I have no idea whatsoever what he looks like. Hogan has something unique to him and it's very easy to draw a black and white cartoon of him with a simple pencil and EVERYONE would recognize who it's supposed to be, even if it's poorly drawn. To only person I can think of that is just like that would be Elvis Presley. Dixie has a point here, but I think it's accepted IWC custom to bash her.

Hogan: "Dude, I'm in TNA now, brother!" Fan: "What's TNA?" Hogan: "Dude, I'm in TNA now, brother!" Fan: "Tits and ass? You doing porn now?" And the fan would accidentally be right...

Not EVERYONE would know Hogan based on his image, just wrestling fans. Just as you might not know who LeBron is if shown a picture, there are millions would would, and conversely, not know who the heck Hogan is if shown a picture of him, or even know his name. That's one problem with making a blanket statement on who's the most recognizable or greatest of all time. Not everyone in the world is a wrestling fan, and even those who are, not all are old enough to remember him in his NWO days, let alone his peak.

It's a good thing. TNA really needs that edge in the African villages market to help put them over the top, brother.
