That may be, although to be fair it's not about that in here. It's about who the better in-ring competitor was/is and The Rock wins hands down here, although I don't think I'll ever forget Foley being thrown off the Cell and having one of his teeth go flying out of his mouth up his nose. He came back from that and was still good to go for years. That's just flat out inhuman. He should never have been able to return from that in all likelihood, but just like Superman, he got back up and soldiered on, and that takes serious balls to do.

Actually, it's whatever criteria you want it to be.

as i said when i started this: this IS NOT about in ring ability unless that is what you choose to judge by. it is up to the voter to decide what makes someone a better wrestler and there is no wrong way to judge that.

for me as a wrestler i beleive that there is a lot more to being a wrestling than just between the bells... and being technically superior doesnt mean your a better wrestler NESSICARILY.

better wrestler for me is about every part of the job of wrestler. from image to promos to work rate to crowd control to legvity to impact and to every other part of this wrestling thing. better wrestler, for me, is who is better at their job not who is better in the ring, unless the other factors negate each other and it comes down to such. but its much much more than simply who knows the most holds, or who took the biggest heat in foleys case.

(just ftr: in ring does have a bigger weight in my voting than some other criteria but it isnt always the deciding factor.)

I respect what he did too, but I voted for Rock because A.) I would have anyway and B.) I was trying to think of the topic, "Better Wrestler" not "Better HARDCORE Wrestler"...nice having this discussion with you.

Let me pose this question and see what kind of reaction it gets: Do you think the fact that The Rock left the WWE and went to Hollywood diminish the contributions he made to the company? Do you guys think any less of him because he left? Personally, I don't, but I'm wondering if anyone here does.

Everyone knows my feelings about The Rock, no big secret.

So as a huge Rock fan I can truthfully say that for me his departure for Hollywood did not diminish the contributions he made to the WWE or wrestling in general.

Do I think any less of him for leaving - absolutely not. He made the same choice most of us would have. More money, less chance of injury, lighter work schedule - in fact could now afford to work as little or as much as he liked.

However, was I pissed when he couldn't be bothered to make any appearance or tape a piece for RAW's 15th - yes. He did make up for that though.

And who's to say that The Rock didn't leave right at the pinnacle of his career? Of course we can't answer that but so often wrestlers go on just that bit too long and their legacy and memory gets tarnished. There's no denying The Rock left on a high.
