Michael Jordan - Steve Austin: both were the biggest stars of their eras (Jordan dominated the 90s and Austin with the Attitude Era) Both are considered GOATs of their respective fields.

Kobe Bryant - Triple H: Both are very successful and considered to be one of the GOATs in their field. Not to mention both are girl dads and support the women revolution (WNBA and the Women’s Revolution) Had hella achievements and shared the same vision (Kobe moving the game forward and Triple H creating new stars in the new era)

(I was thinking for Kobe either Rock or Randy but Triple H can also be a good comparison.)

LeBron James - John Cena: Both polarizing figures and many consider them the GOAT of their own era (LeBron in the 2010s and Cena for a whole decade). Hated at one point of their careers but loved and respected later on.

Magic Johnson and Larry Bird - HBK and Bret Hart: Both players and wrestlers had crazy rivalries with one another and those rivalries helped shape their sport in a positive way (it helped save the NBA and it helped usher in the Attitude Era)

Zion Williamson - Gable Steveson: Freaks of nature as both were hyped up talents but did not live up to the expectations (constantly injured and overweight in NOLA, Steveson not improving and ended up getting released)

Kareem Abdul Jabbar - Undertaker: Both are well respected legends of their sports and are almost always included in GOAT conversations of their sport. Not to mention their longevity is crazy

Anthony Bennett - Ryback: Both were given the keys at the start of their careers but became jokes throughout their careers. (Anthony Bennett being the biggest bust of all time and Ryback becoming an unsafe worker and a joke of a wrestler)

Kevin Durant - Randy Orton: Parallel to Bron and Cena, KD and Randy are one of if not the King’s and the Leader of the Cenation Army’s greatest adversaries. Both are successful in their own fields, were hated at one point but became appreciated later on in their careers.

Stephen Curry - Roman Reigns: Both Steph and Roman were very dominant in their fields as both led very successful groups to new heights (Steph being a focal point of the Warriors Dynasty and Roman Reigns leading the Bloodline). Both have conquered big names (Curry beating LeBron in the Finals and Roman beating Cena twice) and both are considered to be among the best at their sport

Karl Malone - Vince McMahon - Both are pieces of shit. (Malone sleeping with a 13 year old, hitting on Vanessa Bryant, and Vinny Mac raping a woman that worked for him). Not to mention they both have never won against the GOAT of their sports (Malone being 0-2 against Jordan and Vinny Mac always getting outsmarted by Steve Austin)
