Austin is held in high regard bc of his antics with McMahon,Pillmans gun and other ? more than anything else, bc when you really look at it based on his run with the E he didn't even have more charisma or better in ring ability than guys like Razor Ramon,Macho Man or Mr Perfect...
Da ? you talking about? Austin came back in 2001 as one of the best heeks if all time rivaling anyone ever. B4 that he was the hottest face rivaling Hogan in the 80s. Not saying HBK didnt havibg huge cgarusna cyz I yhink its close, but you cant out Mr Perfect charisma on the same level as Austin, even a prime Scott Hall /Razor didnt capture the pulse of Monday Nugyts and tge kate 90s lto early 2000s like Austin. You're completely trivializing his success and ability.
calm down bro lol
? had a scott steiner moment.. -
HBKYeah we know who's gonna win this one

HBKStone cold started off in wcw. He was going by the name of stunning Steve Austin. He was a bad guy then. And he was a pure technical wrestler.
When he came to the wwe it was through Ted dibiase. Then he was calling himself the ringmaster. And he was still doing technical wrestling.
That ? didn't work. Then when he turned into a Budweiser swilling redneck his popularity took off.
Shawn Micheals was an instant star. His days with the rockers showed that. Then when he went rogue people loved him more.
Overall HBK was better hands down. From persona to wrestling technique. -
HBKto be fair tho, hbk had his obsticles as well
and it aint that austin wrestling style aint work, his knees and then neck just betrayed him, he still had traces of that wrestling style as the scsa character was taking off, and put on classics such as him vs bret as he just started using the knee brace lol, with the scsa character and that wrestling style, hell this thread might be even. -
Stone Cold Steve AustinCold does it.
-
Stunning Steve Austin and as Ringmaster, Steve was a better Technical Wrestler then Shawn Michaels
-
But overall wrestler it's Shawn Michaels

They both were total packages, but Shawn was the greatest in ring talent of all time. Nobody could do what he did nor do it as consistently. If Austin hadnt broken his neck before the peak of his run, it might've been a different story. He still had some legendary matches after, but it wasnt the same. You could make a list of the top 100 matches of all time and Shawn could easily take up half the list.
In ring talent is only one part of "overall", but you like what you like.
In ring talent is a major part and thats not all he had. As a baby face, he was average, but Shawn is one of the greatest heels of all time. In particular, during his DX run, he sonned the ? out of people on the mic and had the charisma to back it up. His charisma showed in the ring too. Shawn selling getting his ass kicked by Taker in HIAC was second to none. Only Flair could do it as good or better. -
Stone Cold Steve Austin
Stone Cold was just as good if not better heel and clearly twice the face HBK was. Stone Cold low key had classic matches with Taker also, but where HBK clearly had the edge was longevity, so he could have countless classics via ring psychology way past his prime.PanchoYoSancho wrote: »iKingGodGivBiz wrote: »PanchoYoSancho wrote: »These are my favorite two wrestlers by far, but I gotta give it to HBK.

Austin was nice in wcw and ecw. Marty jennety was a better rocker than him
-
Stone Cold Steve AustinMarty Janetty imo was always better than Shawn in the ring, but outside of it when it came to the total package, HBZ owned Janetty in every category, and HBK just did way more as a singles wrestler from 92 on that's undeniable resume wise and got way more big stage opportunities that just ? on Janettys career. Still remember that great match he had vs Angle on Smackdown tho.

HBKNot the biggest HBK fan but damn he was that dude when he did this
-
How was Austin a great heel, when he got cheered all the time? He was funny as ? as a heel, but nobody hated him. Triple H is the goat heel, but that's for another post, at another time.

You aint watched his heel ? . I remember he came to the ring for a heel promo, then looked at the crowd, and walked out the ring and back up the ramp, and had the whole arena booing him without saying a word. -
Stone Cold Steve AustinAustins the better superstar.... That's not even up for debate
If HBK didn't lose to Austin at that wrestlemania he couldn't have carried the WWF in the Monday night wars. As great as he was (and DX) we all know they were second rate to SC and the Rock's success
And for anyone that doesn't think Austin was a technical wrestler check the Angle, Bret and Owen Hart matches as well as ECW

HBKJR (one of millions) says HBK is the GOAT, I'm not sayin you have to agree, I'm just sayin JR (a stone cold stan) said it...

Stone Cold Steve AustinHe's also a fan of cowboy hats and barbeque sauce
-
HBKSkillwise Hbk. Early Stunning Steve was a good wrestler and underrated but stone cold was in that Hogan punch and kick mode
-
HBKts a runaway for HBK. Austin was a workhorse in WCW and he had some really good matches with Steamboat and a few others but HBK's undercard work blows Austin's out of the water.
You can go watch HBK against Perfect, Bulldog, Hitman, Jannetty, etc from 1992-1994 before he was a big star and he was killing ? .
Shawn also carried ? alot too. -
Stone Cold Steve AustinIts funny cuz on facebook Stone Cold blows HBK away 36-8. I guess HBK is like the Nas of the OTTB infectiously so.

Nas is the GOAT. HBK would be LL Cool J. Stone Cold is Pac. The Rock is Biggie. Nas is Bret Hart. Taker is Jay Z. -
HBKSince Austin is Pac does that make Hogan Eminem ?

HBKhogan's like melle mel, minus the racist part of course.

Hogan is the beastie boys, Cena is Iggy Azaelia or Wacklemore. -
