Inspired by the HHH thread, where would you put Brock and Angle on the all time list of wwe/f superstars? While neither was around very long, I would say that both did excellent work during the time that they were there. Maybe they're not in the same category as Bret and Austin, but they each have quite a few great/memorable matches and angles.

Angle was around for 7 years, which I think is long enough.
He won it all and joined the grand slam club.
Titles aside, it's not the fact that he won all the gold that means anything, it's how the guy left it all in the ring all those years. He put himself through hell for the company and left use with countless classic matches. Were it not for the circumstances of his departure (if he had simply retired on good terms), he would be a lock for the HOF and probably already be an unlockable legend in all the video games.
Brock was a guy who really could've had a great legacy if he had stuck it out, but now, we'll never know.

Angle is near the top of my all time best list. He could do anything in the ring and was gold on the mic.

definately up there in best of all time... Angle anyway... imo he is higher up than HHH for me. He was a better wrestler imho and as good on the mic as him. Lesnar... i never really saw much of his matches so i cant say

Angle would make my top five.
Lesnar might sniff the top twenty or thirty, the only thing that stopped him from being legendary was him.

Lesnar wouldn't make my top 20, to be honest. His stint was too short, but he had potential to be a huge name had he stuck around.
Angle is in my top 10. The guy doesn't get enough credit for being a great comic heel, and his matches were top notch. I always rated him higher than Benoit as a worker.

Angle would make my top 10. The man could do no wrong in my eyes during his WWF/E run.
Lesnar might make my top 30. He was somewhat of a flash in the pan IMO. A two year run in the company doesn't matter for a whole lot, title reigns or no.

Lesner has to be in my top 10 I think, I really did love him as a monster and his HIAC with Taker is one of my favorite matches of all time.

If we're talking purely wrestling/promo wise, without taking into account drawing power etc, in my opinion the only person who can tussle with Angle for best of all time is HBK.
Brock would be in the top 30. He could easily have been top 15 had he not screwed it all up.

Wow, I can't believe people would even put Brock in their top 100. They guy was here and gone like a fart in the wind. Now I was never a huge fan as I found his look to be just another hoss. HE was decent in the ring but nothing overly special to me.
As for Angle. I would say he is in my top 25.

I would agree no one had it quicker then Angle. The Rock might have been much bigger, but Angle did it all faster.
He learned the ring and he learned the mic and he was and is still pretty darn good at them.

angle is probably the top, although i was always into christian so angle would be one or two. as far as lesnar goes i would definitely put him in the top 15. the guy may not have been around long, but i don't really take that into consideration. judging by what the guy did while there, he gets a good position on the list. i may have wished he would have stayed around but he doesn't lose points with me for not staying.

Angle, in the window between 2001 and 2003, was one of my favorite wrestlers and certainly one of the best in the business. After 2003, he started to show wear and tear, but was still amazing, especially his match with Michaels. I'd put him in my Top 10 for being a genius in the ring, having great mic skills, putting over others AND having Olympic credibility.
I'll agree that Brock was a flash in the pan. I mean, his gimmick was the "Next Big Thing". While his matches were usually very good, he was plain and his mic skills sucked. Probably in the first 50, but that's as far as that goes.
