Who is the WWE GOAT ?

[GSPSAKU]

The Rock has done the most with his career after the WWE, but he would have never had the opportunities in Hollywood if he wasn't a rassler first. Hogan/Rock/Austin are pretty interchangeable in the modern era. Bruno overall GOAT though.


Thread needs a poll.

Again, a list of criteria would need to be established. In terms of what they did in the WWE, it's hard to put Rock above Austin let alone Hogan. The crowd booed a babyface Rock and cheered a heel Hogan who had just ran the Rock over in a ambulance.

Outside of the list of accomplishments in the ring, Hogan was king of wrestling from 1984-1991. Rock was king of wrestling for maybe 3 years and Austin for maybe 4+ years. Neither had the longevity of a Hogan although Rock coming back has definitely helped.

Bret Hart.

the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be

Honorable mention: Hogan for being epic in building the brand

 

[Bet Me]

HBK would be my pick but the correct answer is either Hogan or Austin.

 

[Jermei]

Macho Man is on the short list of goats with Hogan, Austin, Rock etc. Maybe my all time fav wrestler but I base that from being a kid. Always liked the Austin/Vince beef as an adult though.

Not that I follow it but the two household names outside of the US seems to be Hulk and Rock.



And of course Mayweather and Rodman.

Did you just confirm that the UFC is a work?

The Rock is a household name due to movies. I come across many people here in the states that don't even know he was a wrestler.

I can't say how much of his fame comes from wrestling and how much comes from movies but he's famous.

 

[My Spot]

The ONLY answer is Hogan. No ifs, ands, or buts.

 

[Prime Ang]

Hogan is overrated as hell.

 

[A Pennysworth]

Brooklyn Brawler is the Goat.

 

[Garnett Silk]

Based on popularity.....I'd go with Bruno Sanmartino....I saw a special on him on Netflix a couple years back and I had no idea he was such a fukkkin Icon

 

[Michaelangelo]

John Cena
