That's a fair call. I think to come from where she started to how she finished is a massive effort though, but the same can be said for quite a few divas. I guess her popularity and marketability is the reason behind her being on that pedistal you're referring to. I don't think it's easy to compare how she would be today though. Two different times which makes it near impossible to say how successful she'd be at the moment. Same goes with really any diva from 10 years ago compared to now.
Oh and I was always an Austin fan and never a fan of The Rock.
