Better Wrestler #12

**What Would Kevin Do?** · 03-30-2008, 02:53 AM

Austin should get the vote based on impact alone.

But I can't do it. I love Austin. Specifically, I love pre-neck injury Austin. Stunning Steve, even better. Post neck problems though, while he was amazing on the mic, he was lacking in the ring IMO. Yeah, he's a great brawler, but to be honest, he bored the hell out of me in the ring. I just wasn't into the style. Hell, to this day I'm not into that style, and whenever I see a wrestler who fights with that same style, I'm usually bored by it.

Eddie, while he didn't have even close to the same impact (except in his death), represented everything I love about wrestling. He was great out of the ring, but in the ring, he was superb. Austin represents the the entertainment side of wrestling, as does Eddie. However, I think Eddie represents the actual art of wrestling better than Austin ever could.
