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.

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.

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.
