@TheoHuxtable07 I agree and disagree. People do need to embrace the PG era, as lack of swearing and blood isn't what's hurting the product. The writing is horrendous, and the guys have no emotion because it's overly scripted. The new guys need to be given some creative freedom, and they just need to be better so people can get emotionally invested in the product again.

@Mr1131988 I agree with you it's definitely subjective and there are a lot of wrestling greats from the past.

But the way I see it... if the greatest of all time isn't Stone Cold, then who is it? Who was actually better than Steve Austin? I can't say that about anyone.

Hogan had a hell of a run, HBK might be the best in-ring performer, Flair might have sold the most tickets over his whole career, but I can't say that as an overall package that anyone reached the level of Austin.

STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN.

ALWAYS HAS BEEN #1, AND ALWAYS WILL BE #1 TO ME.

It's amazing and saddening at the same time to see that only the legends get big pops nowadays and everybody knows they can't be here forever.

@TheWoodydny I don't think anyone else has been able to go as far as Austin has, when it comes to things like making an emotional connection to the crowd, making them truly care whether he succeeds or not, and whipping the crowd into a frenzy when he goes on a rampage.

Things like drawing the attention of far more casual, only-occasional wrestling fans and making them watch every week.

The level of interest and entertainment that he brought every week is unmatched imo.

@bobdonda What do you mean by reached the level of Austin? He is by far one of my favourites, along with Hogan,HBK, Mick foley (as anyone) and undertaker.. could also throw The Rock in there. Not trying to argue, just wondering what you mean..

@patg316 Thank you/ SO many are upset cause of the lack of cursing, etc. Its SO far into "Sports Entertainment" (scripts, everyone is the same, etc) They need to fire the Hollywood writers, let the wrestlers be wrestlers.

With a name like Stone Cold Steve Austin how can you not be taken seriously?

@Mr1131988 Yeah I know it man. I bet I really come off as big Rock mark. I guess I can just be pretty defensive or something if I feel Rock is being discredited. IDK, but I apoligize. I don't really consider him to be the greatest ever despite that he's my favorite. I'd say it's either Hogan or Austin even though it's subjective & hard to tell. But I honestly just think that Rock is a notch above them all. But that's just my opinion.

[Mr1131988]

@5mikewwe92 Dude you are an intelligent fan and you make great arguments for The Rock but why do you feel the need to prove how great The Rock is? Everyone knows it and he has place among the greats. Of course, he isn't the greatest ever because not only was in WWE for 7 years, he was a wrestler for 7 years period.

@Mr1131988 It's hard to deny that Austin was the biggest draw. But as far as who made the biggest impact in the shortest amount of time, that's The Rock. Now Austin probably made the biggest impact overall, but Rock made a bigger impact in a shorter amount of time. They even mention it on the "Top 50 Superstars of All Time" DVD.
