I really think we over use the term Legend in the pro wrestling business. Just because some used to wrestle doesn't make them a legend. When I think of Legends I think of the best of the best. The guys that stand out in any era. Hogan is legend, Bruno is a legend. The Rock is a legend.

But than I hear people call Lance Storm a legend. Lance Storm is not a legend. He's a talented guy but he was never the top guy in any company. He was talented but even at technical wrestling which his thing he wasn't one of the very best.

Now I'm just using Lance as example but the same also goes for Goldust. Hell no Goldust is not a legend again talented guy in his prime but not a legend.
To make a comparison to MMA Matt Hughes is legend in MMA. Frank Trigg was a talented guy a title challenger but not a legend.
