Can Ritz be Bigger Than Webb by a Greater Amount Than Pre is
Talent is not enough; charisma was Pre's trademark. Webb got big by eclipsing a bygone era's hero, Ryun. He's already off the radar again. Pre's attitude was frozen in time by his death. A runner today would have to emulate Bolt's successes to be bigger than Ryun or Pre.
Bekele, if American-born, would be close, but as an Ethiopian, he's barely in the public's mind.

Originally posted by ghBut--because of his early death and the cottage industry that sprang up around it--Pre has gone on to surpass Ryun in the public (such as it is) consciousness as it exists today.

Repo Man is a true story, though, all of it.
