A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

i dont think a meme is going to be the make/break with one of the most famous perosnas in all of modern media history dude. youre better off prostesting his torn yellow shirt being in a glass case at your local hard rock cafe
You might need to expand your horizons. On the historical scale he ranks just above Dog the Bounty Hunter and below Tiger King.
It probably depends on your age. To people my age (gen x) he's definitely more famous than either of those guys. He was all over the place in the 80s.
So was Ronald Reagan, Madonna, Bob Sagat, John Elway, Eddie Murphy and hundreds of other people I won’t bother listing that were more significant than some pro wrestler.
I'm not arguing that he was more significant, just that he was pretty fucking famous. What part about this do you not understand?
