Better Wrestler Part Deux: Day 171

[The Genesis of KoOS]

If you remember, this will feature hundreds of wrestlers past and present to determine who just is the better wrestler. Now in our first series, Shawn Michaels won the whole thing so he is now retired into the Better Wrestler Hall of Fame. So who will win it this time around?

Voting will be open for 24 hours with the winner advancing to the next day. If there is a tie, both will move on to make it a Three Way Dance. Now there will be a mercy rule, if a wrestler wins 10 straight matches, they will be retired and given an automatic berth in to the final tournament at the end.

Remember, please leave personal bias at the door. Just because you may not like someone for being a prick backstage, doesn't mean they aren't terrific in the ring. Also, you can judge on your own merits on what makes a better wrestler. You can place a heavier emphasis on technical ability or you can look past their match quality if you prefer charismatic workers who are great on the mic.

Feel free to discuss each match and include why you think a wrestler is better than the other. Not only is this to have fun, but have good discussions as well. Have fun and be civil, don't cry because someone you like got eliminated.

I think my brian just broke. I honestly cannot choose

[badnewsbrownfan]

my vote is for angle

[Crappler El 0 M]

Wow, this will be unpredictable, but of those three I have to go with Angle. Eddie could match Angle with technical ability, but I think Angle just felt like a bigger star. I think of Angle's matches with Austin, his IronMan with Brock, his matches with Shawn...Angle just seemed to be awesome. Eddie as a main event top-guy was a much harder sell, though it did end up happening.

Now you have thrown RVD into the mix. RVD was great in the ring, but I don't think he could match Angle in the ring. Eddie was closer to matching Angle in the ring. RVD's charisma and personality is sometimes questioned, but I think he is fine in that department, but not quite at Kurt and Eddie's level.

I say Kurt. His skills and charisma helped make him a mega-star just a year or less into his career, while Eddie took many years. RVD was a rising star in ECW and did eventually become a main event guy in WWE, but he did not have the same effect as Angle.

Angle but I'm a big fan of the other 2 guys

["The Rated XXX Superstar" Jed]

RVD.

[Brainbustaaah!]

Eddie.

[Magnus the Magnificent]

Kurt was more reliable in the ring IMO.
When Eddie was off, he was really off and RVD is sloppy.

[The Genesis of KoOS]

One vote separates them with a few hours left.

We are tied with just under an hour left. Just a note, whether Kurt wins or ties, this is his tenth day so he will not be in today's poll. If Guerrero wins or ties, he will advance.
