Erase a career: HBK or The Rock

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE
 
If you erase Shawn's career you erase Diesel and HHH as well.
 
It is weird that people are arguing about draw power in this hypothetical. Who gives a fuck about who could draw? To me its about who had more meaningful, memorable, matches? HBK vs. anyone was likely to result in one of the best(if not the best outright) matches of that other wrestler's career, the dude could wrestle a fucking broom and make it at least a 4 star match. Rock had all kinds of memorable moments, and was fantastic on the mic, but I'm struggling to think of any wrestler who's best match was against The Rock, and that is why I'd blank his career instead of HBK's.
 
Michaels for sure. A true piece of shit and then tried to pull the born again card but revealed himself to still be a piece of garbage.

Bonus - no HBK means less vanill midgets in the current generation who got inspired by him to try wrestling.
 
This is one or my favorite Shawn Michaels moments.

We all remember it as being this epic promo but you go back and watch it and he's wasted mumbling his lines and then just blurts out 'Degeneration X' and Russo goes 'Jesus I guess that's the best we're gonna get out of Shawn' and off we go.

 
HBK and its not even close.

In an absolute worst case scenario, the biggest thing we lose is DX, but let's be honest, Trips was the MVP of that stable and then it was the New Age Outlaws. Shawn wasn't even really good in DX any of the times he was in it. It still could've happened without him and it really wouldn't have lost much steam.
 
HBK no doubt.
The Rock in the "Attitude Era" was a phuckin' riot. SO MANY SKITS, his insults, mocking HHH, Vince, Stephanie, singing, and "It doesn't matter!" Gold Dust, Booker T, Hurricane, Stone Cold, so many more victims.
 
Well it's HBK Rock was a huge reason why as to the reason WWF won the war.
 
HBK better rassler, but there's The Rock.
 
If you erase Shawn's career you erase Diesel and HHH as well.

Huge bonus. Maybe WCW would still.be around with no Nash and HHH marrying Stephanie was the beginning of the end for WWF as a decent wrestling promotion.
 
I'd erase the Rock.

Hbk is the Goat wwe style wrestler.

His matches with the Undertaker, Bret, Jericho, putting over Stone Cold, laddermatch with Razor. He even had a great match with Cena in the UK.

The Rock was the better character but I wouldn't want to erase all the great HBK matches.
