What I mean with that is, who in 30 years people are gonna remember more. Sure HHH is a ten times World Champ, but I think The Rock, Austin, Bret, have made a bigger impact. I think HHHis way behing these guys.

The people who had the biggest impact in the history of wrestling are:

1. Hogan
2. Austin
3. The Rock

Everybody else is way below. I do think HHH is up there with people like Bret, Foley, Flair, Taker, etc.

I think HHH has been forced on to us. Flair is an illusion. People were calling him the greatest, even tho they probably had never seen him wrestle once. 16 times World Champ??? Please, he held the same belt Tommy Rich held. He was the champion of a company that never drew any money, except when Hogan and the nWo went there. I agree completely with your first 3 choices. Bret is right behind them too.

Despite what I'll sometimes say!! I like Hunter. For his size, he's a smooth performer in the ring, and (mainly due to having so much mic time over the years) he's become very good in that area too. He is however, way too over overpromoted on Raw when it really isn't necessary to push him so hard and keep him in ALL major storylines ALL the time. It smacks of him having an inferiority complex and that is caused by the fact that he knows deep down he's never going to be held in such high esteem as Rock, Hogan, Austin and Bret in years to come. These guys made that era, Hunter was a "glue" guy that helped keep it all together.

The Hulkster will always be remembered as the guy in wrestling. He made wrestling in the 80s. The Rock and Austin made wrestling in the 90s.

In thirty years, everyone will still talk about Hogan. He basically made wrestling. So he will always be mentioned with having a big impact on wrestling. So the wrestlers who I think made some of the biggest impacts in wrestling are Hogan, Austin, The Rock, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Undertaker, and Mick Foley.

No-one has mentioned Taker up there (apart from rocky). Yes hogan made the greatest impact on wrestling but he didnt have opponents that drew the imagination (andre aside) until Taker and Ultimate Warrior. Austion yes to an extent but he didnt draw in too many new wrestling fans he just captivated the audience that was already there. Rock has`nt drawn new money either. As sad as it is scorpion king did less for wreslting than suburban commando. No-one has made the impact Hogan did and I dont think anyone will again, apart from maybe (and it is a big maybe) if John Cena`s album turns out to be a Rap Classic.

I would have to go with rambos list but I would have to add Andre The Giant to that list. Everybody knew andre even if they dident watch wrestling because of his size.

I would say Austin, just b/c he ushered in the "Attitude" in your face era.
