Hercule went up to Cell, despite knowing that Cell is an unstoppable killing machine. And remember, while he says that it's all tricks and shit, he doesn't believe his own crap, for the most part, and knows perfectly well that what Cell is doing is real.
Hercule has massive balls.
Also, he has enough balls to name himself Mr. Frikkin' Satan.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariWe'd have all been screwed if he snapped into a slim jim.
Fortunately, his tag team with Spopovitch (the Mega—low—powers) exploded. They'd have been unstoppable.
.....And I'm not even sure who I'm talking about, but I do know that before he actually saw it live, Satan did truly believe Cell was using tricks and bullshitting.
One Strip! One Strip!Actually, Vegeta and Goku could have a fight in the middle of a city and not give a shit. That very thing (sorta) happens in Battle of Gods. The trick is that they're moving so fast that the entire fight would be finished before the muggles even felt the after shocks of the punch collisions. And in Battle of Gods, Goku and Beerus were moving so fast that I don't think any of the Z Fighters could see them.
I wonder what Resurrection "F" will do to the status quo. The battle against Gold Freeza is easy to hide since Goku, Vegeta, and Freeza would be moving so quickly that only Beerus and Whis would be able to see them but the invasion thing would not be.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!So anyone ever call Gohan's wife pre-marriage "Videl Satan," they're being stupid.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!She's obviously never met the Briefs. Last I checked, they had last names.
...
I wonder if his full name is "Vegeta Briefs" now...
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!True, she's never called that in the series proper, but her father is called Dr. Briefs and her mother is called Mrs. Briefs. This implies that "Briefs" is a family name which would make Bulma's full name Bulma Briefs.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Since whether they have surnames or not isn't all that important, I like to play with that when writing fanfic.
Maybe in Son Gohan's ancestry there was a guy who did something great and thus he passed down his name so everyone would recognize his line or something.
Maybe Mr. Satan gave himself a surname after winning the WMAT and after the Cell Games he was just too popular for anyone to deny his right to it. And using his stage name was just common courtesy - people were already yelling it anyway.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariBulma's mother is apparently named Panchy. Or, at least, that would be her name if Toriyama decided to give her a name.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!This. Once Cerebus Syndrome set in with the arrival of Raditz Piccolo Daimao, a character frequently snubbed by the fandom, Goku wound up sidelined as much as anyone. He missed most of Piccolo's arc, the Saibamen, 90% of the fight with Nappa, the Namek adventure up to the arrival of the Ginyu Force of whom he also missed the fight against one member, three out of four Frieza forms, Mecha Frieza and King Cold, every Android fight, and the chunk of the Buu Saga between Goten and Trunks mastering Fusion and Gotenks being absorbed by Super Buu to defeat Gohan.
He also spent the tail end of the Vegeta battle paralyzed on the ground, the bulk of Captain Ginyu trapped in Ginyu's dying body, and was reduced to spectator for most of the Cell battle.
The big thing about Goku is that he's the cavalry; he rides in at the 11th hour on a shimmering horse that looks suspiciously like a golden cloud to save the day, with mixed results. However, he's gone frequently enough and for large enough chunks of time that one could reasonably claim there is no "main" character.
Regarding the Great Saiyaman as a series
It's a funny joke, but I don't think it has much staying power. There's only so many times you can watch Gohan effortlessly curbstomp a handful of armed humans who could never in a million years be a threat to him before it gets really samey. The only way to keep it interesting would be to introduce powerful threats capable of challenging Gohan, and then we're right back at the Dragon Ball formula.
I don't recall that, and given how nearly everyone in the cast is independently wealthy, it would be kinda pointless and greedy.
Android 18 extorted him for money in the Tenkaichi Budokai, but I don't recall that becoming a standard.

I've always taken his protest about tricks and stuff to be what I like to call Johnny Caging; using his own bullshit to give himself the courage he otherwise wouldn't be able to muster. When he's "Wet yourselves and run!" terrified, he can lie to himself that this guy isn't a fighter, just a cheap special effects stuntman and none of it is real, and that makes it easier to act in the face of overwhelming impossibility.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.

I think Goku would give a shit. He actually likes and respects Hercule. Thinks he has the heart of a champ. A hero.
I mean, Hercule stood up to Vegeta, knowing full well what Vegeta could do to him, because he wasn't willing to ask the people of Earth to just give up their lives after they'd already given so much.
