Probably number 1. Just about every legend has done something that a portion of the crowd has turned on them for but Austin is still over universally. It helps that he didn’t overstay his welcome either and his 97-03 run is pretty contained and he left right when it wouldve gotten old to see him in the main event every month.

At drawing? Undeniably top 3. At wrestling itself? Eh, top 100?

If you mean impact on the business and pop culture over the last 40 years, Rock/Hogan/Austin in any order is an appropriate top 3.

Smark headcanon, he was a irrelevant midcard after WM17 that drew no dimes. Even Paul was more over

I'd say him and Bret are the top two. One can argue over that, I don't really care who is number one.

Number 2 behind Bret.
One of the best workers in the business, as you can see by how one of the resident spergs in /pw/ still froths at the mouth about him in 2022.

Rock put all these people over including Gaytch several times and still got stabbed in the back by Gaytch and Vince when he decided to go Hollywood for a while.
