Two of the biggest & best ever inside the ring & outside… two of the most famous stars in the business, who you guys going with overall?
It’s a tough one but I’m picking Rock for now, maybe I’ll pick Lesnar another day lol. I love both guys work in the ring, on the mic, they both great matches & feuds with many other guys but I barely gotta give it to Rocky here.
I’d say both guys are very similar tbh since they both come from legit athletic backgrounds, both made themselves big names outta WWE, both were the youngest WWE Champions at one point, both guys are mainstream & household names, both accomplished a lot in a short time, both left WWE for nearly 10 years & came back… the list goes on & on haha.
Big respect to both legends.

Over all, I like Brock Lesnar better.
I enjoyed more of Lesnar's matches over his career than Rock's matches.
I got to see Lesnar vs. Angle, Lesnar vs. Benoit, Lesnar vs. Big Show, Lesnar vs. Rollins, Lesnar vs. Undertaker, Lesnar vs. Reigns, even Lesnar vs. Goldberg.
So yeah, Lesnar gets my pick.

The Rock, he genuinely cares about the business and has had a way better career and more defying moments imo.

The Rock but would be closer if we got Cowboy Brock much sooner in his career 😆

Gotta go with The Rock. I grew up walking around cutting his promos into a toy microphone for my brothers and cousins. From natural charisma and star power to his ring psychology, he's one of the goats.
Speaking of Brock, I've also always loved how Rock lays out the Undisputed title at the top of the ramp before running to the ring before their match starts. It's a small detail but it's a really nice touch to set the tone/importance of the match.

It's a small detail but it's a really nice touch to set the tone/importance of the match. Rock laying the Title on the floor and quick-starting the match was a detail I was always against in that Match. I always felt like it was Rock avoiding doing the full big-fight feel in-ring intro's you'd normally get before a Title Match as he knew he was losing clean, something he rarely ever did. Seeing those two facing one another for locking up would have been such a big moment. Anyhow, I always loved Rock growing up as most did. He was the ultimate babyface. But even now I still find something so mythical about Lesnar, particularly early-run Brock. Maybe because it all happened so fast, but he was such a fresh Main Eventer at the time, and the first real change of Champion outside of the typical Attitude era big names we'd had switching hands the previous 4-5 years or so. Post-Streak to Wrestlemania 31 Lesnar was also probably one of my favourite runs of all time, I don't think we'll ever see anything that legitimate ever again. |

Rock would wrestle rings around him. But Brock would sell well & throw Rocky up in the air & over his head. He'd then put Rock in a submission & Rock would scream. Then WHAM ground & pound. Rock fights back but another suplex is too much for Rock. F5. Kickout. More suplexes. Another F5. 1.2.3. Ring the bell.

Brocks recent Cowboy run was great too, him and Rock are both evenly matched for me. |

Brock without a doubt. He is legitimately an athlete & never disappoints. I also admire the fact that he has been described as one of the safest guys to work with as he's not out there hurting people or not caring, unless you're Strowman & you piss him off.

Is Brock one of if not the greatest athlete ever seen in pro wrestling? Yes. I love Brock, he’s quite superb. But… and I say this as a guy who’s not a huge fan of who Dwayne has become as a spineless sycophant Hollywood shill.. Wrestling needed The Rock… The Rock to wrestling was without doubt the single most pungent shot of pure unadulterated adrenaline and testosterone and vigor it had ever needed… you go back to those dates in history and witness a live raw crowd being batted from post to post with nothing but venomous Brahma Bull ferocity the likes have never been seen before and not since. THE ROCK… any and every single  ing day. |

Lesnar...easily.
He's one of the guys that can actually make it easy for me to suspend disbelief (at least more so than most wrestlers). The Rock is a great character, but an OK wrestler. Brock is the character that he needs to be.
Doesn't hurt that the suplex family of moves are among (if not) my favorites and The People's Elbow, while it gets the crowd hyped, is just a standing elbow drop with theatrics.

Easily the Rock. Brock's not even near him in terms of mainstream and obviously charisma in the ring.
