Bruno, Backlund, Hogan, Austin, Rock, Cena, Roman: rank them

[VegetasHairline]

Roman should be absolutely last....he is basically rocky maivia 2.0 that never learned to really work or have good matches

You're still trying to push this lame and corny narrative?

 

[Hey_zeus]

Deion Sanders always says the if the HOF was a house it should have levels/tiers. If the WWE was a house, the penthouse would be Austin/Rock/Hogan.

Yeah yeah respect to Bruno and Backlund and the gorund work they laid. That'll be like saying "oh even though Michael Jordan bought the NBA to another level, you still gotta give Bob Cousey the #1 spot for laying the groundwork" lmao

Cousy is a poor example as he wasn't the guy in Boston. They had him and didn't win shyt showed up. Insert Bill or Wilt into that sentence it changes everythin. Bruno MSG numbers are like 11 rings or 50 ppg. It's a better comparison

I can't speak too much on the vince Sr guys outside of backlunds ross perot gimmick. Cena really kept the shyt afloat when every smart mark hated him. Reigns got it out the mud after being saddled with two bums like moxley and Rollins. The reigns run is maybe the most improbable of them all. Like wwe management wanted it to happen but he was bad.

Bruno for the 1st era

Hogan for the 2nd

Reigns doing what he's doing in this era, and actually growing the business which he has, puts him on Bruno's level IMO because of the difference in the era. If there was a "days on top exchange rate" it would have to be like 3:1 to this era and 2:1 in attitude era. Austin's 527 days is like 1000.

I don't think Roman's even close. His PUSH is huge and he's done well with it, but he's not more famous and known than Brock or Cena, while Bruno defined wrestling for years and years.

You didn't like that main event last night? Or the hardcore match vs Brock?

This title reign is more successful and entertaining than every Cena run, and thats not even close IMO. Brock is another matter, because i'd put him above both Cena and Reigns in terms of favorite or most entertaining, but we're talking about "face of the company" mostly in this thread and Brock is the face of himself and nothing else lol

Rock
Cena

Yall overrating reigns in here. Big time. Product means less than ever. Dominant champ sure. But his era is not even close to then. Hell have to be champ twice as long to make a dent.


Austins run was short but sweet. Had rock not overtaken him and became biggest star in world, itd be him. But rock did.

Cena held it down. He deserves that spot. Cena is to reigns what hulk was to austin/rock/bret.

 

[FluffyEyes]

Hogan-the face of the Golden Age of WWF and the elevation of wrestling to the mainstream.

Austin-the face of the Attitude Era and his rise brought the WWE out of a creative and financial slump in the late 90s as well as even more mainstream attention.

Bruno-laid the foundation for all faces that came after.

Rock-held down WWF in the absence of Austin, elevating even further and has the most transcendent career beyond wrestling.

Backlund- decent enough champion and the prototype for white meat babyfaces.

Cena-the champion the WWE needed during a tough, transitional period in the business. Not the one that would set place on fire through storylines but serviceable and uncontroversial.

Reigns- I mean he's very handsome.

 

[TRIPLE M]

It’s hogan or Austin
Those two are the faces most synonymous in the two boom periods so depending on which is you’re era you would side with that one
You could say either is one and you wouldn’t be wrong it’s that neck and neck
