Austin by a mile.
Even after his neck injury, he was still a better overall wreslter than the Rock. The Rock, to his credit, knew how to implement flash and style to his in ring work to make it entertaining. He knew how to "explode" through clotheslines, hit flashy ddt's, shake out his foot before a stomp, so on and so forth.
Austin owned on the technical side, and while the neck injury could be argued as a plus during the time since it forced him to change his in ring approach and make up of his matches, it's a shame Austin had to cut back so much from what he was really capable of doing.
Anyone seen his match from WCW with Steamboat? It's on his 3 disc set, and it's fucking stellar. Even Austin himself described his work and ring style as a "mechanic".
