Loss Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hunter's Torn Quad Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 The Rock I thought Rock was better on the mic, though were both were about even as far as getting good matches out of total stiffs. Pure working ability, Savage may edge Rock out, but I thought Rock was fare energetic as far as getting the crowd going crazy for the smallest of things.

Ray Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Randy Savage Because Rock never carried Warrior (or anyone as bad) to a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teke184 Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 The Rock Rock drew better and had better promos. Savage suffered from a severe depush after Wrestlemania 5 and was retired twice because Vince saw him as over-the-hill. If he hadn't become a complete joke between Wrestlemania 5 and Wrestlemania 7, it would be a lot closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Randy Savage I'll let GH do a detailed explanation, but Savage had better matches than Rock did and could play both face and heel better. Savage's time on top of the promotion is very underrated, as he had a nice run with DiBiase, plus his initial WWF championship wasn't in the original plans, and it worked out for a year. I think, in comparison, Rock's time on top had always been in the company's plans at some point. I often wonder: If Honky hadn't refused to drop the IC title, how much longer would Savage had been a midcarder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted May 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Randy Savage Rock was the bigger star and Rock had the bigger impact, but Savage got so much out of Hogan and Warrior that I have to give him credit. Yeah, he was part of a well-oiled machine and was never the crucial cog in the wheel to keep it going, but Savage consistently drew when he was put in a position to draw, excelled in whatever role the company decided to have him play, and I honestly believe that had he gone with Crockett instead of Vince in 1985 for some reason, the war would have been much more competitive, although admittedly, I don't Crockett would have had a clue how to market someone like Randy Savage to his full ability to get the most out of him. He didn't even know how to do it with Ric Flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
