What would you rather main event WM28

I still want to see Rock vs. Cena at WM 28. The storyline has been amazing so far and I want to see it play out. Now as for Punk vs. Austin. WM 29 is the place for that match. 10 years removed from Austin's last match. It would be a huge deal.

I was talking Wrestling Wise but since you mentioned outside of the wrestling world Austin IS actually known, Him, Rock, Cena, Hogan and a few other wrestlers are known outside of the WWE but those four guys are the main guys that are known by the media outside of wrestling.

If there were was a poll asking people who never watch wrestling do you know or have you at least heard of Hogan/Rock/Austin/Cena they would either say they know them or have heard of them somewhere. If the poll said "Dwayne Johnson" people would say "Yeah hes some actor" but when you add "Rock" to it the public would respond to a yes, Bottom line is Rock isn't known that much as his real name only when hes being called "The Rock".

Sure hes been in some Disney Movies, Fast5 and a lot of other awful movies but Austin was the name and face of the Attitude Era and the bigger star between the two, Got bigger crowd reactions and sold more merchandise, Even Vince has said Austin is the bigger and greater guy between the two.

Back to these matches, Rock/Cena is sadly bigger while Austin/Punk is simply the better/greater/more anticipated match.

None of what you said still changes the fact that Austin has always out-sold The Rock in merchandise. A wrestler's popularity cannot be simply determined by the pops they recieve. Is it a good indication? Yes. But you have to look at merchadise, ratings for there segment of the show, and PPV buy rates when said star headlines the show.

Rock and Cena would have more star power than Austin/Punk. I feel though that Austin/Punk would make for a better feud and a much better match.

Is he outselling The Rock these days?

Personal opinions aside? This topic distinctly asks for personal opinion on the question. Everybody knows that Rock vs. Cena will sell WrestleMania and that even if Punk vs Austin is made, Rock vs Cena will still headline. I was just wondering WF's personal opinion on what match they would like to see more and which match they would use to close the show if they booked it.

AND I think if the majority of the core audience, the WRESTLING fans want Punk vs Austin as a main event, Punk vs. Austin should main event. They can still have Rock vs. Cena and have it co-main event, but how about Punk vs. Austin goes on last, i mean the casuals still get to see Cena vs Rock, they can turn the damn ppv off after that match if they want. Why not close shows with matches the core audience wants to see. Thats why its not cool to like wrestling anymore.

Someone like Punk main eventing over The Rock in Maimi is ridiculous.Period.

If someone prefers Rock/Cena that makes them less of a wrestling
fan?

No not at all, don't get me wrong I'm glad to see Rock vs. Cena at WrestleMania, I'm looking forward to it. I think more die-hard fans would rather see Austin vs. Punk. If your a die-hard fan who wants Cena vs. Rock more, that's fine i can see that. But i think the majority of die hard fans would rather have Punk vs. Austin is my point. Your not less of a fan if you would rather see Rock vs. Cena at all that's not what i meant.


And also, the event being in Miami has no bearing on the topic I'm just asking personally what match you'd rather see main event WrestleMania. I'm not asking which match will sell more tickets or anything, just what would you rather see if your going to slap down $60 bucks for the event. I'm not asking if your Vince Mcmahon what would you do, because the answer is Cena vs Rock. I get that. But what would you rather see.

Austin could definitely come back and have a "Stone Cold" match. He was never a great wrestler, he was all punches and kicks. Punk could carry that match to make it a good enough wrestling match, but Austin never was technical or mat savvy, he could totally work the style of match he always worked. Hell he's probably been more physical in his movies than he would have to be to work this one time match.
