I can get Austin or Hogan, but not the rock. He isnt one of them. The Rock was always under the shadow of Austin. He didnt build anything, Austin got that done. The Rock became popular in a time when people were flocking to the shows, but he didnt bring them there. It's alot harder for guys like Bret and Shawn to kep the wwf afloat than it was for rocky to gain lots of popularity when wrestling was swelteringly hot.

Secondly, none of the rocks movie success has done anything for wrestling, nor does it do anything for him as a wrestler. It's now totally seperate.
The Rock has now become known to others who dont watch wrestling, but it's not like they tune in to it if the rock shows back up.

Among wrestling fans, worldwide, there are plnety of wrestlers who have just as much success and just as much name appeal as the rock does.

The Rocks success outside of wrestling was just because he's a good actor and had the right charisma for it. But it does nothing to increase the rock as a GOAT. Because it's all seperate.
