Simple enough question. 20 years from now when the next generation of crappy wrestlers comes in, how will Wrestling remember... And I'm not referring to WWE or the IWC, I'm referring to the wrestling historians and those that were in the business. So how do you believe history will look back on...


John Cena
Kurt Angle
Chris Benoit (You had to know that was coming)
Samoa Joe
Sting
Triple H
Vince McMahon


IMO
Cena: History will regard him as a great champion and a decent worker. Those of us that watched it firsthand will remember him being booed out of buildings and being as bland as humanly possible.

Angle: Just short of a legend, could have cemented his legacy, but instead went to waste in a company whose problem were greater than needing star power.

Chris Benoit: Will be remembered as a legendary figure, but will be distanced from because of the last days of his life.

Samoa Joe: Will be remember as a solid worker and fine wrestler, though probably overrated by some.

Sting: A true legend in the 'sport' did everything there was to do, a true iconic figure.

Hunter: A decorated champion known to be heavily involved backstage. Probably will wind up running the company at some point imo.

Vince McMahon: Unified what was a group of smaller territories into a multi billion dollar company. Wasn't the creative mind he thought he was.



Thoughts?

Feel free to drop your own in and how you feel Wrestling will look back on them

John Cena: He will be looked back on as one of those guys who was a world champion but not as a pillar of excellence or anything. He will be in list of champions, but probably lost somewhere in the middle to bottom.

Kurt Angle: He will be remember as one of the best and craziest to compete.

Chris Benoit: He will be remember, but no one will want to spend much time on him. They will say he was good enough in the ring, but then he commited a horrible crime.

Samoa Joe: A foot note.

Sting: See John Cena a little hire in the list and the letters WCW by his name.

Triple H: He will be remember in the same way as Sting, but they will spend more time about how he is Kliq and married into the McMahon family.

Vince McMahon: Best carnie to ever sleaze up god green earth. Excellent business man. Revolutionized wrestling mutliple times. He is one of the few true legends in wrestling. No other wrestling promoter compares to him. He created all but a handful of stars in the past 20 years. The only true draws he didn't create were Sting and Goldberg. While many may not agree with his methods, you can not deny his results.

Cena: A bit like early Sting. A competent worker, but protected by the bookers to the point where he ran out of people to feud with.

Angle: One of the great "could-have-beens" of wrestling, a fantastic worker whose personal choices prevented him from becoming a legend.

Chris Benoit: the black sheep of the wrestling industry and the martyr for its opponents, someone who did something so horrible that all the good he had done before will never make up for it.

Samoa Joe: Kinda like Ricky Steamboat; people in the know will respect his in-ring abilities and great matches, but will never have mainstream appeal.

Sting: Though not a breakout mega-star like Rock or Austin, a legend in his own right, still working even well past his prime.

Hunter: Like Hogan, someone who's known as a 'great' champion by the official record, but known as a spoiled diva behind the scenes.

Vince McMahon: The single most and least successful promoter of all time. Caught lightning in a bottle on more than one occasion, but bombed on countless ideas as well.
