It has to burn Austin deep down he got post-career eclipsed by HHH, Rock, Cena etc

[Playaz Eyez]

He has no reason to be jealous of anyone at this point he already is looked at by people the same way as Austin Rock and HBK are, casual fans and mainstream folks who don't follow wrestlin view him as one of the GOATs like it or not only smarks like you wit a vendetta downtalk his legacy cause yall think he's a legit heel since its still real to yall.

Not a single bit of this is true. There is no vendetta, this is simply a fact. There are no casuals, marks, or smarks who view HHH with the same regard as The Rock, Austin, Bret, HBK, nor even Mankind and Undertaker. When people think of Attitude, there are probably 5 people you could bring up before HHH. HHH wasn't even the most popular person in DX. He was getting out-popped by the Outlaws and even Chyna and X-Pac quite often. I'm not even sure why I need to go in detail about this, cause assuming you're a long time wrestling fan, this should be common knowledge. It's funny, the WWE's re-writing of history has actually fooled YOU you are saying this as if it's disrespect to HHH, but it's not, he simply wasn't on their level. Was he the #1 heel between 99-01? No doubt. But he wasn't and will never be looked at as fondly as all those people I already listed. HHH himself knows this, which is why history continues to be re-written for him.

No. Vince isn't honest. Bret Hart anyone? Owen Hart anyone? Lol. Vince is ultra cut throat..that's why WCW is gone today.

He's honestly cut throat, and Bret pushed himself into a corner.

 

[R=G]

The rednecks over there at cmt love dude. Plus he's gotten some looks from Hollywood over the years.

The rock is the biggest action star in the world.

Hogan got crazy bread since the gawker incident.

Hbk is hunting animals on that hunting channel.

Batista been getting more looks over the past 3 or 4 years in Hollywood.

Even Nash getting some of that Hollywood bread.

I think for the most part all of the main event dudes from the late 90s are evolving outside of maybe 90℅ of them ECW dudes.

The Rock makes more money than Vince every year now. 60 or 70 million last year...to once again top the Forbes highest paid actor list.

Nah..we saw the footage. Bret wanted to stay and take the lesser deal. Then he told Bret to kick rocks and go to WCW...and fukked him over an agreed finish. Lol. Vince waa paranoid and spat on a guy who was with him since WM 2.

I wouldn't put him there because I'm including every male actor, which is also guys like Denzel and Tom Hanks and DDL. If you want to say one of the greatest action runs cool, but Rock isn't competing for awards yet. If he gets to that level where we're putting trophies like oscars or SAG awards or BAFTAs on his mantle, then that's a whole new ballgame

I'm obviously not talking about skill.

But who's had a hotter 10-15 year run than the Rock? Ever?

From a money standpoint only? Will. He's the only one I can think of. Will's run from 96-07 is what made him king of the box office.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Thread title made me

Austin did his thing and cemented his legacy. He's doing very well outside of the biz. Not everyone can be a COO or a good actor.

Real talk, Austin has some dope straight to DVD flicks. Hunt To Kill was ill when I saw it.

1 star thread when I get online.

 

[R=G]

Rock has never had a down period and Denzel has never had more hits than Rock in a 5 year run. Will had those white people seeing his shyt since independence Day before he fell off hard. Now hes making horrible movie choices..havent seen his $hit since I Robot.

 

[Reggie]

Don't know how accurate it is but going off celebrity net worth sites he is worth 45 million dollar which is more than all the other wrestlers listed ahead of him in the OP except the Rock. So I am pretty sure that he is doing more than good for himself and being jealous of any of them is probably the furthest thing from his mind.

 

[Slystallion]

No.

I'm thinking ever.

Yeah, alot of guys have had longer careers spread out over time, but who's ever had just movie after movie after movie, tv shows, etc all running concurrently like Rock has the past 10-15 years? And they're all BIG projects. Nobody thought Rock would last this long with no signs of slowing down.

Not Stallone, not Arnold, not Will Smith, not Harrsion Ford, etc.

That's just being delusional stop he's had a great run but he hasn't ever had any groundbreaking performances he's fantastic in his lane

Austin DEFINITELY is competitive as fukk and saw himself as the biggest star in wrestling at one time, especially when he was on top, if not still to this day. As the years roll by tho its easy to see his run never touched Hulks and rock surpassed him even when they were both still working. Hes a solid number 3 MAYBE but his run was short like leperchauns but dont tell austin stans that.

And idk wtf going on in here but its been noted by HISTORY steve is a notoriously jealous motherfukker who bytched about guys like hogan holding him down and then did the exact same thing to guys he didnt feel were on his level.

I just think thats the nature of the biz and now that hes gone hes chilling.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

threads like this show @R=G would pay the rock in bootleg porn dvd's if he could mouth the rock {pause @ the rock}

Vince refers to Austin as "the biggest WWE superstar of all-time"

Y'all dont realize that without Austin, the company goes under....thus Rock never exists. Rock needed time to develop his character and to build up to facing Austin.

Hogan didnt' save the WWF and neither did Rock. Austin changed wrestling in general with the swearing, the attitude etc. which bled over to WCW. And you think Goldberg would've rocked the same look as Austin if Austin didnt exist? It's possible, but nah...
