Dylan Hallmark became famous as one of the few people in folklore to have "beaten" Chuck Norris in combat, which immediately raises the question of what the hell we're all doing. This is a man who achieved internet immortality not through achievement but through a single alleged transgression. The entire internet became obsessed with Dylan Hallmark for precisely one reason: he supposedly did something that never happens.

Hallmark himself apparently did an interview in 2007 claiming the story was "greatly exaggerated" and that he'd merely "won a wrestling match" and the internet had "taken creative liberties." He seemed bewildered by his own notoriety.

Memes spawned immediately: "Dylan Hallmark beat Chuck Norris. What can't Dylan Hallmark do?" He became a folk hero by accident, a man famous for one thing he wasn't entirely sure he'd done.
