Austin before all the surgery was one of the best technical workers going. After he fucked up his neck he became one of the best overall entertainers in the world.
HHH is dull boring and repetitive

If 2 DVDs came out entitled "Stone Cold's Greatest Matches" and "Triple H's Greatest Matches" I would buy the Triple H one.
However overall I like Austin better for everything he has done.

Austin pre Owen dropping him on his head was money in the ring
Austin was totally overlooked in terms of ring skill post-surgery, just because of his style, but his matches were electric and very few had as much drama as the big Austin matches, with the hot near falls and such.
So to answer your question, I don't know.

Triple H used to be really awesome back in the day. However, I'd still pick SCSA anyday over the Triple H of today.
Hunter was the man in 2000....

Austin I only liked in WCW when he was Stunning Steve.
HHH I always liked, and while I do find him repetitve and boring to hear and see nowadays, he can still put on an alright match when he isn't busy burying someone.

Yeah if you look at Austin from 91-97 he had top notch matches. And even after his neck problems he still continuted to have good matches.

Anyone remember their 40 minute 2 of of 3 falls match at NWO 2001 where each match was different?
I would assume that one of the main reason Austin went to an almost exclusive brawl style was because of his neck...
Anyway, to answer the question, Austin. Austin vs. Hart at Mania 13 was better than almost anything Triple H could pull off today.

Never seen it, but I heard Austin's best match and his favorite match was against Steamboat at Clash of the Champions.

Why are we not comparing both in their prime? Trips was awesome in the ring prior to his quad injury. Granted he did have a lot of help along his path to mainevent status.
Trips vs. Taka is still one of my favourite matches.
My vote goes to motivated, non-political Hunter.

Triple H wins. Easily.

I vote Austin. Even after his surgeries, when he couldn't be at his very best, he was still better than pretty much everyone else at their best.

Triple H...easy and without much of a contest really.
Hunter is one of the greatest in ring performers ever. I know a lot of people like to hop all over Flair and Hunter for butt fucking each other nightly...but can you honestly think of two poeple who are more talented then Ric Flair or Triple H? And yeah we all like to hate up on Hunter cause he is (literally) fucking around to gain legend status...but respect the fact that his back stage poloticing is not like what any other backstage stabber has ever done before. Hogan, Piper, even Flair...out of everyone, Hunter had the decks stacked against him...he was smart enough to know he had the talent in the ring, so he needed to menipulate people in the back. I hold no grudges against him, and when he does hold the World Title for long stretches, I love it. You can't blame him for his promos as of late as those have been largely scripted. Paul on his own is a fucking promo king. In the ring he is near untouchable. He draws in fans, and is one of the best wrestlers in the history of the business. Period.

Its gotta be Austin
He had this energy and crowd interaction that I don’t think we will ever see again.
And I think his matchs are largely underrated. While he was a truly great technical wrestler when he changed to a more brawling style to suit his character that is when he truly shined. He understood the mechanics of what it took to put on a great match and some of his in-ring psychology was truly fantastic. Put that with the way he had the crowd in the palm of his hand ether in the ring or doing a promo his matches were also enjoyable.

I'll just use John La Rock's post as a template here:
who is/was more over? - Without question Steve Austin
who puts on better matches? - Austin had excellent matches from 91-97, some great maches in 98, and even some great matches in 2001 as well.
HHH had not to shabby matches of his own in 97 and 98 but really start to shine from 99-present.
For me though in terms of enjoyment I like Austin matches better than HHH.
who has more charisma? Steve Austin by a mile
who is better on the mic? Both are amazing on the mic. Tie
who is more consistent? HHH
who do I personally like better? Austin
For me it would have to be Steve Austin.

HHH by far. When it was mainevent time during Stone Cold's run at the top, I would always change the channel. Also, HHH doesn't walk out when he doesn't get his way, though when married to the boss's daughter, I'm not sure how often that comes up.
But anyhow, HHH just seems more proffesional, I mean how many times has Austin walked out or no showed because he was going to have to put someone over?

I choose Hunter Hearst Helmsley, only because out of him and Austin, Triple H is the one I dislike less.
Out of the two of them drawing my interest, I'll watch Austin if he's getting beat down, but if he's stunning people and drinking watery beer, it's not worth watching.
Triple H, on the other hand, has matches & segments which I don't get excited over, but I watch them and sometimes I enjoy them as well.

"Stone Cold in his better days or Triple H today"
You mean I can choose from Steve Austin in his prime and Triple H coming out of his prime?
That isn't very balanced. :|

Austin.
SCSA had everything you want in a wrestler really. Wasn't the BEST wrestler, but definetaly wasn't bad either. You can't deny his contribution to the business.
I mean Austin's run from 1997-2000 was amazing.

Austin
His impact on the attitude era was greater than that of HHH's, but he is up there.

HHH easily. Austin had more of an influence and by far was more well known, but HHH is the mang

Austin had some pretty classy hair himself during his stunning era. Premature balding = :heart:

HHH for all the reasons The One said, plus the fact he is still willing to cleanly job when its needed.

Triple H, in any era of hsi career will top Austin in a comparable stage of his career IMHTTO
but can you honestly think of two poeple who are more talented then Ric Flair or Triple H
Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit....
Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit....
I wouldn't go as far as Michaels and if we're including entertainment, Benoit wouldn't exactly fit. Angle, though, is one of the best well-rounded wrestlers I've ever seen in the WWE. High flying, technical, brawling, comedy, serious, sad, mad....
By that criteria, actually, I'd put him at the very top of the best pro wrestlers EVER.

Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit....
Benoit? Seriously, the guy can wrestle, but he isn't half the entertainer of H or (more importantly) Ric Flair. HBK, though I don't agree, and Angle I'll give ya though. Angle is the only guy I would put above Flair in terms of skill. But he hasn't been in the business long enough to surpass him.
