I think HBK is definitely more iconic. Angle was only in WWE for 6 years. HBK's SECOND career post-back injury during that same time (which is widely considered his best years) lasted a couple years longer than Angle's entire WWE run. If that was all they had to offer, HBK left a bigger mark with his WrestleMania main events, his Jericho feud, etc.

Add to that him being a part of the beginning of the attitude era with DX and being considered the best wrestler in the world in the years before that and it all puts him far ahead of Angle in the legacy department. The best Angle could do to try to catch up is his Samoa Joe feud in TNA which was great... but TNA can only add so much to someone's legacy.
