I’ve also been lambasted for not knowing who certain hockey legends are. And Terry Fox. If you’re an American in Canada and you don’t know who Terry Fox is, you might as well be from another planet.
Bret was never a "pop culture icon" in Canada the way Hogan and Rock were/are in the USA as popular as Bret was here. He was very popular with wrestling fans, but outside of that he never reached that level here
