I think Hogan and Austin's achievements are too close to call.

I honestly think Austin deserves to be no.1 on the basis that he took WWE through their "greatest" period and up against their toughest competition they'll ever likely face... but no one could argue if Hogan gets it.

They'll be 1 & 2 and i'd imagine that Bret, Flair, Taker & HBK would probally make up the top 6

Depends. if its JUST WWE, then yeah Austin and Hogan are close. If its overall career ,Hogan murders him. Austin was big but for only 4-5 years. Hogan was huge for over 20.

But the Austin Argument would be that those 4-5 years saved WWE, not sure Hogan could claim that as much. Hogan was chosen by the company for greatness, Austin was chosen by the fans and was very natural.

I'm a massive Hogan fan, but you take Austin out of those crucial years, WWE might not be No1 anymore. You take Hogan out and yeah it might not have been as popular (although someone else would of stepped in IMO), but WWE would of still been the king. I think thats the argument.

Plus Austin didn't hang around and become some-what of a Joke. Austin got out (maybe due to injury) but without anyone having to see him as a hang-around.

Stunner vs Leg Drop... i rest my case haha
