Rock was extraordinarily talented especially his mic skills while Edge was just average in all departments.

Rock is perhaps the biggest success story in pro-wrestling but if I were to make a movie on any wrestler;I would prefer someone like Austin,Edge,CM Punk,Batista,Cena over Rock just because Rock happens to be a third generation star,just to show that their struggles were tougher.

In any field if your father and grand-dadwas in same business,Entry will be easier but if you don't have talent you will flop.eg-Ted Dibiase and countless others

The are you serious was to you referring to 'average'. Average wrestling skills do not countless classic matches make. Average mic skills do not company top heel make. Don't see anything average about a guy that can do all of that.

You meant Edge?
Edge was good in all departments.My bad,I wouldn't call it average.He was above average in ring skills and mic skills

CM Punk or Stone Cold

I love Rock and he's uber talented but the fact is all he had to do was make a phonecall to Pat Patterson and he was getting featured weekly on Monday Night RAW. Half the battle in this business is the opportunity.

stone cold, shows how not giving up and making that extra effort can be the difference from being remembered and forgotten

I read an article when Mark Henry's WHC run was just starting out about his rise to the top, n it really is a touching story. He originally got signed due to his buzz in the powerlifting community, n cuz he was pretty much guaranteed to take home a gold medal in Olympic powerlifting. They gave him a ridiculously huge amount of money. However, he got injured and couldn't compete in the Olympics. Then they got a hold of Kurt Angle, who actually had a gold medal. That made Henry "useless" in their eyes. Vince tried to get Henry to leave so he wouldn't have to pay that insane contract, which is why Mark got involved with the Mae Young angle, why he kissed a tranny, why X-Pac put on black face to mock him, and of course all the jabs at his weight. But the guy just rolled with the punches, invested his money, and just stuck it out, and eventually became world champ. Batista gets honorable mention too.
