Countdown to Armageddon
Hogan had nothing to do with Austin's run other than leaving the company years earlier.
Austin and Rock did not blow up at the same time. Their runs overlapped but Austin's was what started everything.

Yes 
Dude did so much for the.. "business" breh. He put over so many people only for the dumbass Kliq to go right back over it and bury the future. How many wrestlers have changed their character so much and adapted with the times like the GOAT? Cena still doing shyt from like what 07 and scared to change it up
. ETC, ETC!

Man, fukk no.
Rock's first run put him ahead of Stone Cold.

If Wrestlemania does record business like last year it's would be hard for me not to say he's the overall GOAT.

Stone Cold would out crowd pop Dwayne so badly that Dwayne would go running back to hollywood with his tail between his legs, stop it slime. Stone Cold didn't have to pretend that his wrestling past didn't exist to be famous, unlike somebody else.

Stop It Breh
Remember when Austin took his ball and went home who they had to call...
Austin the main reason we watching WWE and not WCW (as much as that company imploded after its successful years)before that they almost had the E the E was DYING before Austin exploded.Stories of them not being able to fill the water coolers in the building.For that Austin will always be>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Austin's post wrestling run in the mid 2000's was quite stale. I HATE speaking ill of Austin because as a whole. What a fukking career man. Yet lets not act like though he had flashes of brilliance (the bischoff stuff) it wasn't a rehash of the old hits like a classic Rock band, with a guy that couldn't wrestle anymore and is very hard to get a rub off onto a young wrestler of because his character revolves around kicking ass like the Roadwarriors so he generally wasn't going to be the recipient of a come up.
I enjoy their characters for different reasons so tho they are linked I don't really compare them much.

The question isn't necessary because the second run is extra credit. The Rock is the greatest sports entertainer that ever lived. He created Smackdown, drew the highest grossing year of the Attitude Era, got the highest Raw ratings in history, had the most bought Attitude Era PPV in history, did dream matches with Hogan/Goldberg/Flair/Booker T/Lesnar, and made star after star. He was untouchable on the mic....proven wholesale by 1999 in general when he made a fool out of every peer that ever had worth in the industry. Getting standing ovations during promos and shyt. Just unheard of on a weekly basis in the industry. The stuff in 2000 is legendary...60% of the audience leaving after the Rock's matches during houseshows. That's insane for a worked business. Rocky chants during WCW main events in 1999? Godly.
When it was time to get XFL kick started? Who did they run to during that debut in LA that did big ratings in 2001? When it was time to put out those CDs that went #1 ? Who did they market it with on all those commercials and covers? When it was time to kick off X Box with Bill Gates in NYC? Who did they run to?
Austin is in the same vein of all of that except he was pushed as #1 and protected more. Made sense though considering that's what people paid to see.
