Stone Cold Steve Austin or the Rock? You decide.
" Not a question; the Rock absolute mega-super-duper-cool-dude-curbstomp. "This.
I do prefer the Rock, but I always felt that Stone Cold was better. He's beaten the Rock more than the Rock has beaten him, IIRC.
The rock was by far the more charismatic of the two. Austin just had that straight up bad ass persona.
That being said... Kane.
Never liked Austin much because his whole ordeal was cursing and drinking beers.. yeah. That makes you cool. (rolls eyes)
I'll take the Rock, someone with actual talent. Any day of the week.

If you're talking about acting they both suck.

" @Prince CortSether:@Static Shock: If we want to talk about just wrestling ability/talent then neither of them deserve the top spot......
I respect your opinion. But, I don't agree with it. It's all good, though...
" As awesome as he is, even the Rock doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Hulk. "That's because the Rock was a much bigger icon than Hulk Hogan was. :)
One of my all time favorite matches was the first Iron Man match. Set up between the Heart break Kid Shawn Michaels and the Hitman Bret Hart.

(Leaves thread in disgust) :P

I think Hogan's the greatest by far, purely because of his charisma, but he's not my favourite." @FadeToBlackBolt: I cant argue with that, he was my fave as a kid, but as I got older my fave wreslters changed to those with actual wresltling talent. "
Undertaker's numero uno for me.
EDIT: For more modern wrestlers; the Motor City Machine Guns.
The thing is, I've always thought Steve Austin was awesome no matter what era of the WWF/WWE (except when he was fighting Masked Kane because Kane was my fav wrestler and nobody is more awesome than him -fact). I only liked The Rock when he was a heel and was teamed up with Vince McMahon, you know, the one that was getting in all those fights with Stone Cold and ended up wrestling him at Wrestlemania XV. Once he became a 'clean' superstar I felt his shtick was blah.

Great choice with thw MCMG. John Morrison is also an incredible modern day wreslter

" The rock was by far the more charismatic of the two. Austin just had that straight up bad ass persona"Very true.
I am so glad that I was one of the people lucky enough to like wrestling back when these two were a big part of it.
If I had to choose one...Stone Cold.
I mean come on...the stunner was the best finisher ever.
Anyone remember when he stunnered vince...helped him back up and then stunnered him again...classic.
I will always remember the good days no matter how shitty wrestling gets.
Austin but only because I was a fan of his the longest.
Watching him toil away in WCW you could tell the guy had big league talent but just needed that one break. Then the guy gets fired by Eric Bischoff after Hogan and friends basically took over WCW and later ruined it with their backstage political BS. In true superstar fashion he used this turn of events to carve out a new persona for himself and became one of the biggest draws in wrestling history.
As far as wrestling ability he had it in spades and then some. The only difference was fans in the WWF didn't want to see him in some great technical match they wanted to see him brawl and kick ass. He gave the fans what they wanted.
On a side note, I absolutely love the Rock too.
