In all fairness your definition of mainstream star means that literally no wrestlers outside of the Rock, Hogan, and maybe Andre the Giant were ever mainstream stars then. Household names are people who the vast majority of the general populace can identify without any background information given. I'd argue that many modern day pop stars and tv/movie stars don't even meet that requirement. Like, Michael Jackson is a household name, but Justin Bieber? Not so much. That doesn't mean Bieber isn't a superstar, but he's nowhere near as well known as Jackson.
