It has to be Stone Cold, he was the Attitue Era's Hogan.

The Rock always seemed eager to rid himself of his wrestling past as he tried to break into movies. Fair enough to him, even if he hadn't done that, I still think Austin did more for WWE.

I think stone cold probably did more at the time, but rock will do more long term

Stone Cold did more for the WWE in terms of being the man and carrying the company over WCW in the ratings battle; he defined his era.

I can't discount The Rock's impact, when he wrestled he was a huge draw and is undoubtedly the most successful 'crossover' star. He still brings publicity to the WWE which they both crave and need.

On balance I'd still stick with Austin, who was the face of the WWE in their most successful period.

Its too hard to pick. Its like putting Katie Price and Kerry Katona in front of me and telling me i only have one bullet.

There are so many reasons for vote for either guy, they have both done masses for the WWE, but i'd NARROWLY go for Austin purely because he's been a longer servant and he was the one who changed everything back in 96.

I would go with Stone Cold but if the rock comes back long term after Wrestlemania 28 could pass Austin.

As it Stands though id go with Mr 3:16 and thats the bottom line....

I'll buck the trend again I think, Austin was brilliant and was a main reason the WWF overtook WCW but by 1999 I was over Austin and for me Rock carried the WWF a lot that year, Rock also put far more people over

Love the analogy Mr H!!

It is a tough one but I think The Rock may surpass Austin if he has a decent run with Cena.
