My answer is going to be Cena. I grew up on dude and he seems like a much better human being than the rest of the guys

If we talking purely entertainment at their Peak The Rock.
But Stone Cold seems ther guy I can get more behind these days in terms of being an okay guy and still being one of the most entertaining wrestlers ever
I will never be able to look Cena again in a good light after his complete suck up PR job to the Saudi's and then to China to solidify it

Of all of these four, Stone Cold has my fondest memories. That’s not to discredit Cena or even Hulk (I’ll always have a soft spot for my first champ regardless of the ass he’s become), but even now my favorite stories from my peak fandom were with him at the head.
Yeah there’s a reason why I left The Rock off my list…this past weeks nonsense notwithstanding, little to nothing of what he did back in the day holds up as well as people may think. Sure, his in-ring work was perfectly fine, but man all of his promos were a product of their time and none have aged well.

I think The Rock, followed closely by Stone Cold & then Cena. I can appreciate what Hogan did for wwe, but I was never a Hulkamanic lol

Asked me 10 years ago I would have said Austin. Now? Hands down Cena.

Cena.
The other guys never had a mid-card title win and challenge open to work with young new stars.
And they didn't come back to do a ton of jobs to up and comers like Cena has the last few years.

1. Stone Cold Distant 4th: Hogan
Rock would have once been an easy 2nd, maybe even 1st for a brief period, but now I groan at every return, real monkey paw him finally coming back. Meanwhile I want Cena to finish his story and break Flair's record. With two consolation title not the proper one. So I guess Cena is 2nd.

Stone Cold is the only one of these dudes I'd ever go out of my way to watch. Rock and Hogan have never done it for me and while Cena kind of did during his rise, by and large I look at his run on top as absolutely horrifically bad.

Stone Cold by a lot of miles.
Probably my favourite wrestling personality ever. Got me back into wrestling in 98 after falling away for a bit when I got into football after Euro 96.
I’ve liked Hogan, Rock & Cena all at some point but none of them have ever been my favourite.

Stone Cold all the way, my all time favorite.
Cena is the runner up for me. He is a case of me not realizing what we had until he was gone.
I wasn't around for Hogan's prime, and while I do enjoy some of Rock's Attitude era work, I've never been super into him.

Austin - Got to follow his whole career so it was neat to see that entire story.
Cena - Fan to hatred to fan. My respect and desire to see him really kicked in around the US Open Challenge stuff and only grew.
Hogan - He was fun when I was young but as I got older, it ended.
Rock - Never my guy. His brief run as Hollywood Rock was indeed great but saw him as ass outside of that.

Since we're talking personal favorites, it was Austin. I grew up on him, bought a ton of his shirts, had a bunch of his figures, went as him for Halloween, etc.
I was too much of a "Cena sux LOL" teen when Cena was on top but I've grown to appreciate his greatness.
Hogan is dead last.

I think there are matches/eras I can like from all four guys, along with times I found them absolutely insufferable. On a whim, I picked Cena, but they all have their merits and demerits.

If Hulk didn’t say and do some indefensible shit after his career he would probably still be thought of as the biggest.
I voted for him anyways though. Hulk from 83-89ish was just the best.

Stone Cold, even if he is responsible for starting the What? chants.

*Mike Tyson voice* Cold Stone is my man!
Always down to see Austin come in and do his thing every once in awhile. Still entertaining and charismatic all these years later.

My instinct is to pick none, but that's not an option. So if I HAD to pick I would say Dwayne, but only during his Hollywood Rock phase. Oh and later on the first promo he cut on Cena, that was nice.

Austin: From Stunning Steve to Superstar Steve to The Ringmaster to Stone Cold, I always loved watching him the most out of the four
