Hold up, you tryna say the rock had better matches than HBK?
the rock has more classic five stars matches than hbk.
hbk has no promos on the rocks level, period.
now, you can front all you want, but it is the truth.
there are no memorable hbk promo's, at all.
he has two memorable vignettes,..dx/billionaire ted, and hbk superkicks through the picture window.
which only occurred because he was opposite one half of the real higher drawing rock n' roll express.
where hbk was never able to make a draw for himself.
behind the shadow of ricky morton,...
who some will say was never on hbk's level as a worker.
yet,...morton definately has a legacy feud wise that eclipses damn near anyone feuding in the history of wrasslin, in me vs rnr.
so, hbk...is not even good enough to eclipse morton as a much better inring talent.
as well......
hbk is overrated because the internet generation that started the ic community for wrasslin.
was made up of marks who grew up watching hbk and had no frame of reference for the nwa or uwf.
which were both better than any wwf programming.
plus, real talk.....
rock vs hogun was a much better match.
where even i can not stand hogun.
yet, and still rock treated the goblin with more respect than michaels.
when hogun actually created the rubrick that allowed michaels the political rub to create the clique.
anyway,.....yes, the rock is better than michaels.
his iron man match with cripple ache is better.
his ladder match with cripple ache is better than both ladder matches hbk is known for.
that are a stepdown from where ladder matches really were quality wise.
when compared to stampede ladder matches that predate the razor/hbk ones.
rock's feud with scsa are the stuff of legend.
which also features, the real five star master pieces of the history of mania.
which are not overrated, like hbk.
the rock would dominate hbk in promo and have to carry the dude to draw, any day.
to the point,...
not to mention,...the rock can ramp up to work and not be carried by hbk.
whereas most of hbk's classics.
he simply had to carry all the talent, except for his match with mick.
opposite inring a talent who was not mick.
or jericho,..finally being given a chance to wrassle and cut promos like he always should have without being neutered.
outside of those two matches and one jericho/hbk feud.
that jericho had to carry, all by himself from promo.
plus, inring workrate as well.
simply cause jericho is better than hbk as well.
hbk has never really had a real classic with someone who was not a friend who did not have to be carried.
the only classic hbk has over the rock is;
- scsa/hbk tag team raw match
of which the rock drew more money tagging with a me personality.
of which hbk, can not compare to the rock's legacy with mick.
nor, as scary a is he dead moment as the rock standing over mick after bashing him more than thirteen times in the head, and the ppv fading to black, with no explanation.
hbk being infinitely better than the rock, is a myth.
that if we broke it down on paper.
the rock would easily own hbk.
