Do kids today know Hogan? He hasn't really been in the public eye for 15 years.
He gave an outstanding performance as Thunder Lips in Rocky III.

Also, No Holds Barred.

See?

Outstanding.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This is the correct and obvious take. Horrible start, Jorge.
Extremely Amerocentric though

I believe Will Smith still has more global recognition
I disagree with this as well. The FF movies make bananas money overseas. He's not the only draw, but of course everyone who sees it knows what it is.
Yes but The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air is on infinite loop on TV down here at least
