Speaking purely on them as performers, peak Hogan by a country mile.

Austin by a country mile.
He's definitely the best worker of the 4. He also had the best character of the 4 and was the best at comedy.
The Rock may have been a better promo during his prime, but he's also become a worse promo ever since his feud with Cena than Austin ever was.

Man fifteen years ago I never would've thought there would be a poll where Cena would be ranked second favorite out of those four. I've earned more respect him as I've got older and think he's really been mistreated in his comebacks but I still have never enjoyed him as a performer. As far as who I enjoyed most as a talent I would rank them:
1. Austin
2. Rock
3. Hogan
4. Cena
In recent years I've come to really enjoy Hogan's stuff pre 92 when he got lazy. I was kind of tempted to put him above Rock but couldn't do it. Rock was just too funny on the mic. Not condoning what he said but if you are going to penalize Hogan for personal stuff then you can't give Austin a pardon.

Has to be Stone Cold but I really liked the rock growing up. Hogan I’ve never really watched much and Cena well…
I appreciate Cena and I’ve grown quite fond of him as time goes on but I remember absolutely hating him. Constantly seeing him go over my favorites like Jericho, Christian, the nexus, etc. drove me up a wall. Never thought in a million years I’d miss him.

I can't believe I'm actually going to say this, but Hulk Hogan is the one who wore out his welcome the least with me. Far less active watching during his active WWF run, but seemed to always have fresh and interesting feuds.
Austin had that stupid Sheriff Austin run, and was occasionally showing up to stun people for no follow up. His prime run was good, it's just too darn bad he was injured for a good chunk of it.
The Rock still makes occasional returns despite being so well beyond that role that it doesn't work. Was pretty enjoyable as 'the guy' when he was present.
Cena got pushed so hard so fast and was on top for so long that it was obnoxious. At first I was just actively rooting against him, and when that didn't lead to anything, it just became something I actively ignored. It doesn't matter what goodwill he does whenever he comes back because it won't erase his mostly milquetoast run from 2005 to 2014.
If we're talking their 'core' run, it would probably be;
Rock
Hogan
Austin
Cena
Granted, my 'list' is purely from an entertainment level, and doesn't take into account what kind of people they actually are.
