Rushmore with Hogan, Austin, Rock, and Flair? No, but he is easily one of the 20 biggest stars in the history of wrestling and one of the top 5 stars since the turn of the millennium.
If I recall correctly HHH himself described a “Marquee Name” as someone who’s name alone (I.e. without an opponent) brings people in. He was trying to get there, I don’t think he did.

His reputation is that he’s the guy that works with the guy that gets people through the door. He’s been great in that role.
