Both were immensely influential for completely different reasons, but I enjoy Danielson way more. Give me "made indie wrestling/style more mainstream/accessible" vs. "paved the way for celebrity involvement in wrestling" any day, even if the latter had a bigger impact. Also would much rather watch a D-Bry match, not that I'm particularly up on my 70s and 80s Memphis shit. I know Lawler is known for wrestling a really safe style though so I doubt there'd be a ton in his back catalogue I'd enjoy.
There's also the whole Lawler being a fucking creep thing.
