Even if there weren't any 1s or 4s being given out, people would be complaining about the 7s and 8s. :skip:

Judging by this thread, there’s gonna be a LOT of hurt feelings in the Rock and Austin threads. All I’m saying now is nikkas better be ready for the TSCKliq and others to derail the threads and skew those scores :russ:

@mrken12 as much as it pains me to say it, but you may as well add Hoegan (:scust:) to the rotation if we evaluating the big big names

Speaking of which, where Kliq Task Force generals @Ravishing Brick Rude @charmander for their HBGOAT evaluations? :wow:

As a proud member of The KLIQ, I will rate Rock fair. He is a legend. Bigger than Hogan in my eyes. He is a 10. Austin is not.

I guess I'll take the heat as I justify my rating.

Ring Work: (10) As gifted as he was between the ropes, can't see giving him less than a 10. I don't think he's the GOAT by any stretch of the imagination (just not my style of wrestler) but he was damn talented from basically beginning until his very last match.

Mic Work/Promos: (7) As good as he was in the ring he was generally (taking his whole career into account) meh on the mic. He could go out and talk, but outside of his DX heel run (his Magnum Opus), he was nothing to write home about. This is even more apparent every time he makes appearances these days. The one thing that doesn't fail a wrestler (barring mental issues) is the mic work. For him to be such a hailed wrestler (on here and by WWE in general) and be called the compete package so much, his promos/mic work highlights don't compare to other zero tier legends (Rock, Austin, Flair, Macho, etc.) and is far behind most of the members of the Kliq (HHH, Nash, Hall). This is the one area where he's completely outclassed by most greats.

Gimmicks: (8) as a solo guy, he was made to be a heel. Thats where he did his best work. He was an absolute terrible "good guy" and I disliked almost all of his face runs (except the slave to JBL run :heh:) . His great runs (DX heel) are offset by his bad runs (the boyhood dream that almost sank the company). His whole second run was carried by his ring work vs. his character work. Overall I can say he was memorable though.

Overall: 8. If wrestling was just about wrestling in the ring, he would be near the top of the list. Taking in all aspects of the craft (character, promos, gimmicks, etc) he's definitely above average but nowhere near my Mount Rushmore.

First you were skeptical of me being unbiased during the creation of the thread. Now you want votes removed because you don't like the results. :dead:

Sometimes the target you want to hit moves and you hit strays. So yes those people who voted less than 5 should not count.
