Vote for the wrestler that you think had the better career in WWE (whether you base that on impact or match quality is your decision), from 1985 to 2005. Voting will end tomorrow morning at the latest. Please give the wrestler's name first and any explanation thereafter. Thanks.

Hogan may have been more of a cultural icon, but I feel Rock did far more for wrestling long term, and he was also, and I hate to beat a dead horse, far far far more willing to put over younger talent.

Rock's better in the ring, drew probably as well, and was actually a positive force in the locker room as opposed to a cancer.

Hogan.

 

This is tough but Hogan paved the way and was the lead dog in WWF in the 80s. Rock had Austin ahead of him leading the way.

The Rock

 

I almost gave this to Hogan, because with Hogan, there would be no system for guys like Rock to excel. However, Hogan fucking over Ricky Steamboat in 1987, giving the company legal and PR nightmares like crazy in 1992 and pulling a selfish stunt against Bret Hart in 1993 all hurt the product, and Rock never did a single thing to damage the product. Yeah, he could have put over Booker T in the build to Wrestlemania, but I totally understand why he didn't do that job, as Rock became much more cautious about elevating guys after HHH buried Chris Jericho.

 

Interesting story on that, from one of the WWE writers that used to chat with me online a while back -- Rock put over Hurricane under the agreement that he would stay away from HHH. When HHH squashed him the night after 'Mania, Rock decided to play it cool in the Goldberg feud as a payback. I don't know how true that is, but that seems 100% likely.

So, Rock didn't put Goldberg over like he should have because he was afraid that HHH would do what HHH ended up doing anyway?
