Rock or Austin?

[Punished Goku]

I would've for the rock, but no matter whoever you chose we all have to agree this is the greatest promo package of all time.

Is that Jeff Jarrett getting pummeled?

It's NXT broadcaster, Nigel McGuiness!

Who abruptly retired for reasons that puzzle us to this day....

Assuming that Mt. Rushmore can include racist shitheads, for me...

Yes anyone you want :P

For me its

Rock
Austin
Taker
Hogan

Hogan would have been solid number 1 back in the day but alas he barely holds on as 4th spot nowadays as although he has tarnished his legacy its hard to deny he was Mr WWF for so long (seemingly by his own devices i would learn....)

Taker has to be in there for me. Just undeniable how big he was for the company and still is!

Vince and HHH are 5/6 for me.

To be honest i would put Jericho on this list but i think he will have a better legacy once he actually hangs up his hat and people look back on his career. He might actually be the GOAT in the end.....

Wrestling. The Rock.

Post wrestling. Austin.

I'm kinda over The Rock as of late.

This was the first Ring of Honor match I ever watched. Nigel was FUCKED UP.

He's in the movie for like 5 minutes and half of that is a crappy CGI scorpion monster.

 

[Syder]

I was 100% a Rocky mark as a kid but Austin is the GOAT of the era.

98-99 Rock is so damn good and I don't know why it just works so well

There will never be anyone as cool as this ever again in wrasslin

 

[mancan]

Aren't we just asking who's the better actor?.

Rock wins as he's actually been in films.

 

[Mahonay]

Dennis Rodman. Retired from wrestling while on top of the world.

 

[Zach]

The Rock ,simply because of his Spinebuster. Best in wrestling.

1996-1997 Stone Cold. But after that, The Rock, at least in 1998. Hollywood persona out there putting over dudes.

But neither guy tops The Hitman as my all-time fave.

 

[JaseMath]

I appreciate what Austin did for the industry, but I enjoyed the Rock more as a character.

 

[pezzie]

Voted Rocky for me. I was a fan in the late 90s.

Loved him on the mic. He could throw a rant like no other.

 

[maxxpower]

Can't have one without the other.

 

[SeZMehK]

I voted for The Rock. Once, he left the WWE, I lost interest in wrestling. I do tune in for the rare occasions that he shows up. Can't wait to see Smackdown Live for the Rock to show up.

 

[Jacknapes]

Between them both, i'd go with Austin but not by much. Austin helped catapult the WWE in 97 onwards, saving them in the ratings war. Both him and Taker were the top 2 around that time, and with both leaving roughly at the same time (both due to injuries), Triple H and Rock certainly held the company afloat until they came back.

Still makes me wonder who thought having Austin on the Alliance's side in the WCW/ECW vs WWE "war" was a good idea, especially after everything Austin put his body through during the Monday Night Wars. People still think Triple H would have been the one to lead the Alliance if he wasn't injured, or they couldn't get more of the top WCW stars over (imagine it with the likes of Steiner, Goldberg and Sting).

However, my all-time favourite remains Bret Hart.

This pop tho....
