discuss

Overall: 6/10.

10/10

Nobody better.

3.16

Ahhhh, see what you did there.

10/10

That is the bottom line

Excuse me?

Stone Cold was a piece of Americana like Hulk Hogan was, and like The Rock will probably become, if he hasn't already. Plus he was one half of probably the greatest feud in WWE history, Austin vs McMahon. Responsible for the top Wrestlemania, PPV, and Raw moments, as well as a long career with great matches.

10/10

Sorry... as epic an in ring performer Shawn Michaels was, Stone Cold Steve Austin was a fucking icon. And that's the bottom line.

10/10

Meh, HBK is over rated.

Yeah I fuckin' said it.

Your face is overrated. #Kliq4Life

I'm sorry, I couldn't see you because of the glare from your ever increasing bald spot :p #isteppedoverthelinetheredidnti

There is no bald spot. My hair is still currently glorious. Much like Kliq members Triple h and Kevin Nash #K4L

Wait, no HBK mention? #buyahat

Austin, much as I hate him, is one of the best of all time. He could work, he could brawl, he could talk, he could pretty much do it all. However, I'm deducting a point since I just don't like him.

9/10

I hope you die

Pretty much this. Only time I personally enjoyed Austin was when he was a heel..... but I recognize how "good" he was.

10. The best overall star.

And a great podcast.

9

10/10

Stone Cold Steve Austin is the single greatest attraction in the history of professional wrestling. When he was at his peak, there was nobody close to him (Hogan included).

9.5/10

One of the very few guys worthy of being in the mega star tier.

Injuries did limit what he could do in the ring after a while but still managed to create a lot of great matches and moments in WWF/WWE history.

10

He's the GOAT.

He's the reason I started sort of caring about WWE and watching it in the 90's. But yeah, my 9 still stands because I don't know about perfects scores, but yeah I agree with all the positive opinions.

Hogan>Austin

Bret Hart>Hogan

10

8 or 9 out of 10. One of the all time greats but not the greatest. Bobo's top ten of all time:

1) Hulk Hogan / The Rock. Arguably the two greatest of all time who transcend the sport.

2) The Undertaker.

3) Ric Flair.

4) Shawn Michaels.

5) Macho Man Randy Savage.

6) Bret Hart.

7) John Cena.

8) Mick Foley.

9) Sting.

10) Goldberg.

Where's Bret Hart?? Dunno about that list

Those who deserve an honorable mention: Ultimate Warrior, Goldberg, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerero, Chris Jericho, Triple H, Kurt Angle, Bruno Sammartino, Edge, British Bulldog.

I put him instead of Sammartino. In all fairness I base Sammartino on what I've read about him as I'm not old enough to remember watching him on TV.

Was tempted to put Goldberg in the top ten. His WCW run for me was probably WCW's finest moment, not the NWO. Only problem is that his WWE run wasn't rather spectacular and didn't last long but more to do with Goldberg's ego rather than anything else.

I feel perhaps I've been too generous putting Sting so highly. No doubt he's a legend but without a WWE appearance and not having stepped in the ring with some of the finest of all time: Rock, Cena, Undertaker, Triple H etc. I struggle to really rank him much higher.

Bret Hart should be second to no-one except maybe savage or crash holly

Auto correct changes Sammartino to spam martini!

Bret Hart is the 54th greatest canadian rassler

Hart did it all except step in the ring against Hogan.....I don't recall them ever having a match......right?


Savage I've never really been a fan of but I can't deny he wasn't a big star and at his peak was second only to Hogan in terms of popularity/star-power etc.

Frankly for me Austin never quite had that aura stars like Hogan, Savage, Rock and dare I say it even Cena had/have. Austin's career was too short but technically he wasn't a fantastic wrestler imo, he was simply a great, down-to-earth character rather than the larger than life straight out of a comic book characters of Hogan, Sting or even Rock.

Also I'm tempted not to rank Eddie Guerero and Edge so highly. The former whilst undoubtedly one of the finest of all time at both the cruiserweight and heavyweight level and in both WCW and WWE, I feel he's only really lauded as a 'legend' because of his tragic passing. Edge similarly except his career was cut short by injury otherwise I don't think either wrestler would have been inducted into the HoF so soon if at all.

BTW what channel is HoF on in the US?

Bret Hart ranks just above Benoit and just below coma-inducing boredom.

what?

oh, wait, i get it...
