Stone Cold is OVERRATED

What?

Im just waiting on @R=G

Why? LOL. Steve Austin and the Rock are the greatest sports entertainers that ever lived, bar none. Austin's face heights can match anyone in history. Everyone knows that. He was doing good ring work almost from the start..I've been on the Austin bandwagon for nearly as long as I've been on the Undertaker one back in 1991. He wasn't dynamic on the mic in WCW but he got over pretty big in 1992. Company didn't want to push him to the top because when you think about it, he should of been a World Champion in WCW around 1994 at least.

Was he better than Rock on the mic?

What are you talking about easily available online? The Rock was in the wrestling business for a shorter period and reached the top ALOT quicker then Austin. While Austin wasn't around the Rock carried the WWF to it's highest ratings ever. Get your facts straight

1. Yes the Raws are available online AND they are dated. Hit up Dailymotion and/or YouTube. There you will clearly see, the Attitude era WELL UNDERWAY and two people spearheading it: HBK and Austin, and to a lesser extent Bret Hart.

2. Who cares who reached the top quicker?

3. You mean when another major face was out, another major face was popular? Who would have though TWO hugely popular people on one pro wrestling roster. Man that shyt was unprecedented.

Reasons Austin is Overrated

1.) Austin was not a GOAT heel like Macho man, Hogan and The Rock

2.) Austin was elite for 3 years when other guys like Macho Man, Hogan, and Flair were for much longer

3.) Austin got lucky to make it big, if it wasn't for the KLIQ having fun out there and Triple H getting punished Austin wouldn't have gotten a big push.

4.) When Austin was out and The Rock was the guy the wwf got it's highest ratings EVER

5.) Austin took his ball and went home. The GOAT don't do that.

1.) Opinion. He's worth talking about now PURELY because of his early post Ringmaster WWF heel work. Didn't shyt change between 96 and him winning the belt in 98 but the fans.

2.) What's the minimum time for longevity? As stated, Goldberg was hot for 1 year and was purely a product of the machine. Austin was white hot but injuries in his prime shortened his career (and time on top) big time.

3.) In that case, Rock was lucky he didn't stay Rocky Maivia with the blue garb and the jheri curl. Luck doesn't have shyt to do with it when you're as talent as these guys are. All he (and Rock) needed was a chance to shine.

4.) Will never take anything from Rock there. You're absolutely right. But don't act like Rock debuted when Austin left. It was a collective effort to get where they were when Rock got on top. Rock was more than qualified to carry the ball as the man when he got his chance though.

5.) Looking back, he was fully justified in his response to that bullshyt. Don't support walking out, but they were trying to give away a MAJOR money match on free TV.

The reason why people kind of get slick over Austin walking out is that when you THINK about it...Rock did jobs on television and it did no damage to him. All he needed was a mic the next show and he would bury the L and the guy who did it..I still don't believe that the plan was for Steve Austin to lose CLEAN to a guy who had been there for like 3 months. Doesn't sound believable. It almost took a mass conspiracy for Austin to lose as heel or face during that run.

No Austin and we'd be discussing last nights Nitro and praying for a good ECW PPV later this month

It would just be talking about another run in during the main event by NWO 2k13
