Maybe not with the current generation, but Steeve Reeves was quite famous during his times

How many cyclists can you name other than lance armstrong.  How many world class swimmers can you name.  How many world class wrestlers. 
Just because your typical american can't name a pro cyclist doesn't mean that they aren't household names in Europe. Last year at Alpe Du Huez more than 400,000 showed up to watch. That was only one stage. Now the US is home to the majority of pro bbers and still nobody cares, and for good reason.

Yeah but look at it this way, the only soccer player i know of is Zenadin Zidan, and that other guy who headbutted that mofo right before he retired.

So hows it a big suprise that people dont know the names of bodybuilders? If they dont follow bbing, why would they!?

30-40% of the population couldn't even tell you the first three lines of the national anthem

30-40% of people you see at your local gym can't even name one bodybuilder

hahaha wtf is this guy smoking

So you are saying that people wouldn't know the names Steve Reeves, Lou Ferrigno and other bodybuilders who became movie stars? 

I concede that less than 1 percent could name a current pro bodybuilder.  My 30-40% is optimistic, to be sure, but I am sure that more than .0001% could name a bodybuilder. 

Ask your wife, girlfriend, relatives, buddies, etc.  If you say, "name a bodybuilder" and they don't at least say, "You," then you might as well stop lifting!  :D

Plenty of people who don't follow sports could name baseball, basketball or football players.
