Austin got injured and missed plenty of time at his peak. He was too face but Don't you tell me he was shoved down our throats. Cena was. hHH was and hogan was but don't lump him in with them to prop up rock. Rocks great on his own, one of the goats

Austin was the dude who appealed to the "everyday" blue collar wrestling fan. There was never a wrestler who embodied the every man like SCSA

He was in good shape :whoa: :dame: but wasn't overly jacked
He wasn't the tallest...lots of wrestlers taller than him
He was blue collar (and that's what the traditional wrestling fan is/was)
He cussed, drank beer, gave his boss the finger, etc.

The Rock, on the other hand, was a charismatic star...but he fit the mold of a wrestling/TV star more than SCSA...
The Rock was more "TV"/untouchable/"fictional" than SCSA
He was larger than life...versace wearing...celebrity...and that is needed in wrestling too. The "star" quality

Both were fantastic. We should really just let them live on Mount Rushmore and stop trying to compare them.

the stone cold gimmick was too down to earth to ever outshine rocky. im not saying austin has no starpower. hes on the same level as rocky.

but its essentially like dusty and flair.

That bald headed CAC never had the charisma good looks of the great one

Stone Cold could never do the numbers rock did even though he was shoved down our throats for years

Facts

The rock in his prime was better than Austin.:ehh:

Matter of fact he eclipsed him as a draw.

The rock was more versatile than Austin ever was from a character standpoint.

If the Rock had stayed in the wwe for another five years this wouldn't even be up for discussion.:yeshrug:
