[rmr21ela]

stone cold steve austin the face of what the best era of wrestling
or
the rock the man they made a show after

Not going to lie I was really expecting this to be something to do with boinking the Divas. Now I'm sort of disappointed. I don't think you could go wrong with either of these two though.

Is this your first thread? Its pretty bad. I dont think you quite understand what these forums are all about. Just for the sake of not spamming I would pick Stone Cold because he is the face of an era.

This thread is fine. I dont understand why we cant have some diversity from the usual "lets bitch about something without completely understanding it" threads that constantly flood this site.


I have to say The Rock for a number of reasons. Number one being that SCSA's career is most likely over due to the neck injury he suffered. The neck injury also contributes to his limited mobility in the ring which is a huge contrast from the ring ability The Rock displayed at Wrestlemania. The Rock is ripped, successful in and out of the wrestling business and was able to maximize on the opportunities he had. I view The Rock as the Randy Orton to SCSA's John Cena. He didnt have to be the main guy in the company to get peoples attention. I often find that SCSA's legacy is largely exaggerated. While it is true that he was the top star during the attitude era, you wouldnt be able to tell from his mic or in ring abilities. Stone Cold became a star because he tickled the sweet spot of the generation at the time. As far as the more talented person, I think The Rock takes the cake.

I'd have to say Austin. I wanted to say Rock but he's getting too much heat by bullshit fans picking on him for everything he doer. Austin doesnt seem to have that problem. Yes he went out on injury but he's practictally blameless and saying his name just invokes so many treasured memories and who wouldnt want to kick their bosses ass kayfabe or not? and to still to this day be labled the greatest 'WWF' champion of all time has got to be sweet. Theres lots of reasons why I chose Austin, but mainly it's because he doesnt shitted on as much by the fans like Rocky. Just my opinion. Thank You

 

[2Sweet_4Life]

It doesn't matter who i would rather be! Seriously though i'd b austin just for the fact the rock will always be remembered for being the 2nd top guy in the attitude era whereas austin was the guy.

 

[TheChosenOne10]

Rock was great when he first came back. But I ended up let down for the most part. I think Id choose Austin for the fact that whenever he shows up, he's gonna whoop someones ass! Im not all about the talking, yeah its good but a year long of it, most of it being on twitter, something completely irrelevant to me, gets old very fast. But if you were asking me before Rock's return without a doubt id choose him. But at this point, Rock bored me, or at least his feud with Cena did, so Id choose Austin.

 

[King Patrick Star]

It’s a tie for me, but since I can’t pick both, I’m going with Stone Cold Steve Austin. It’s like 2a (Austin) and 2b (Rock). Would WrestleMania X8 be bigger if it was Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin?? Would WrestleMania XXVIII be bigger if it was John Cena vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin??

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

without a doubt stone cold steve austin always liked him more then the rock dont know why just did maybe because him kicking bookers ass in the grocery store and all the times he beat the hell outta vince

This thread was poorly thought of and it seems as if you just wanted to make a thread for making a thread sake. I would rather not participate in your poll and I urge you to use some creativity when making threads.

 

[Peoples_Champ]

In the future, please use sentence structure and proper grammar to construct your posts and topics. This isn't a text message.

Anyways, about the poll. I know Rocky is on everyone's minds right now, but I would love to have been Austin. Something about a bad-ass redneck is more appealing than being a eyebrow raising movie star.

 

[OutsiderDX]

Let's look at the facts:

Stone Cold: Broken neck, damaged knees, a body broken down and more than likly living in horrible pain everyday of his life after 20 years in the sport. 3 ex-wives and 1 domestic abuse conviction. His latest projects being 10th billing on a Sly Stallone movie and a host of a wrestling reality show.

Rock : who spent only 8 years in wrestling with no major injuries. Starring in movies that have grossed more than a billion dollars. and i can only assume banging models and porn stars.

Currently : The Rock
In 1999 : Austin

 

[matman8540]

I have to go with Stone Cold. He helped define an era in the WWE that most fans look back with longing affection. This is to take nothing away from The Rock, but it's like the debate between Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Lou Gehrig was technically a more complete ballplayer, but Babe Ruth defined an era for generations to come. Or as Good Ol' JR would yell after a stunner, "STONE COLD, STONE COLD, STONE COLD!!!"

 

[eltracy632]

Since I absolutely love alcohol, gotta go with Austin. He's definately had more "moments" then the Rock, the whole feud with McMahon brought us years of entertainment.

 

[HBsam31]

I would have to say Stone Cold. While I am fans of both, I always liked Austin just a little bit better. He always seemed superior to me, and the pops he got were legendary. The Rock is right behind him though in my eyes, but Stone Cold gets the edge.

 

[xavyer]

Like most people, Austin, when he cuts promos he's actually funny or badass, the Rock says a lot of idiotic and stupid things, like a desperate 12 year old starving for attention, in the attitude era, if it wasn't for Austin the Rock would have never gotten noticed, thanks to Austin the Rock got over, when the Rock was fueding with Shamrock or other superstars, he was just one more in the roster, but as soon as Austin gave him, yes, gave him the intercontinental title and started a fued with him, that's when he got noticed, because of Austin, so i pick Austin any time over the Rock.........

 

[Rampage Bentley]

I would have to say The Rock.

Not that I think he's superior to Stone Cold at all, cause he's not. You just have to take the bad with the good. While I'd love to be the Texas Rattlesnake, I would not want to break in the hard way, bust my ass as Stunning Steve only to get fired, and I don't even want to think about breaking my neck...

While Rock on the other hand, got to play some college football, broke into wrestling pretty easily because of his dad and grandfather, avoided any serious injury and got out completely healthy and now makes an assload of cash making movies.

Stone Cold is more admirable (aside from the beating his wife thing) but being Rock is just so much more appealing.

 

[Paul Bunyan's Axe]

Yeah, I would go with Austin but it's a real toss up. I go with SCSA simply because of this: every time someone thinks of the attitude era, Stone Cold Steve Austin is one of the first things that comes to mind. On the other hand, when someone says "Smackdown" do you immediately think "that's the Rock's show"? I definitely don't. SCSA for me.
