Better Wrestler All Time Records (http://tpww.net/forums/showthread.php?t=102087)

[The Franchise]

I had a feeling this would be Perfect's final opponent. I have to go with The Rock. While Hennig may be a better technical wrestler, Rock has had more matches that I find enjoyable and probably has a couple matches that I would rate higher than any Perfect match I've seen. Outside of the ring, I don't think it's a contest of who is better... so I'm going with Rock.

[El Fangel]

I voted...

For The Rock

[Nicky Fives]

I actually have to stop and reflect with this one...... Perfect is one of my favourites of allt-me, but I gotta go with Rocky......

[El Fangel]

Thats the lucky thing with me, The Rock will always be my favorite. So I had no choice but to pick him.

Mad props to Hennig though.

[Lock Jaw]

The only person not already in the HoF who to ME PERSONALLY could see standing a chance against The Rock is Eddie Guerrero, and he just got used recently.

So... The Rock is HoF bound!

[XCaliber]

As much as I love Hennig quite frankly Perfection ends here if ya smell... you know the rest!

[Ermaximus]

The Rock is HoF bound!

[The Franchise]

Come on you Jabroni's voting for Perfect.... explain yourselves!

[DarKCentaur]

Rock. It's no secret I don't rate better wrestler by in-ring talent alone... though to be quite frank, I think Rock was MUCH better at drawing the crowd into his matches than Perfect ever was. Technical prowess is really all Perfect has in this matchup, and it's not nearly enough for me.

[jskinnyg]

As much as I love Hennig quite frankly Perfection ends here if ya smell... you know the rest!

Nice twist there Supreme... Very Nice... Chalk one up for The Perfect One checking into the Smackdown Hotel and losing to The Great One!

[4 knuckles up]

The Rock.

[The Gold Standard]

Took The Rock. However, it was a coin flip.

[Lock Jaw]

I voted...

For The Rock

I voted...

For The People

[The Franchise]

The only person not already in the HoF who to ME PERSONALLY could see standing a chance against The Rock is Eddie Guerrero, and he just got used recently.

So... The Rock is HoF bound!

Don't forget...

[Destor]

i actually never cared for much of the rock`s career.

[Ermaximus]

So to those who didn't vote for The Rock I have to ask. Do you like, PIE?

[Nark Order]

i actually never cared for much of the rock`s career.

He's no Chris Hero, THAT'S for sure.

[Kapoutman]

The Rock is a great entertainer outside of the ring, cuts great promos, and is much better in the ring than a lot of people give him credit for. However, I also feel he had the luck to get famous in the middle of the attitude era, which automatically makes him more of a draw.

Perfect was simply, well, perfect in the ring, while also being entertaining in interviews and in skits. Sure, he never was WWF champ, but that doesn't make him a lesser wrestler. His skills on the mic, if not on par with The Rock, were only slightly below. He was simply in a different era that didn't reward that as much. His in-ring work however was leaps and bounds over The Rock.

So I give the edge to Curt.

[FourFifty]

I voted for Curt.
I did it... I did it, for The Rock.

[Biggz]

Had to vote for Curt because he is the better wrestler. Rock was the total package but he wasn't Perfect.

[Rammsteinmad]

Tough match, but gotta go with the Rock.

[Poit]

I voted...

For The Rock

[Lock Jaw]

I vote Bobby Heenan.

[Seth82]

gotta go with Curt Hennig

hands down one of the best of all time

[The Jayman]

I knew my role and voted for The Rock

[tjmidnight420]

I went with The Rock on this one...

[Lock Jaw]

Curt McGillicuty

[St. Jimmy]

Hennig by a mile.

[KIRA]

"I did it for you Rock"

[Cuzziebro]

Vote goes to the Rock.
Mr Perfect is amazing. But there is something about The Rock, it wasn't always his wrestling however his storytelling that got me. He is greatness in and out of the ring.

[Krimzon7]

How these two are not in the HOF Yet baffles me. But the ROCK FTW

[Ultra Mantis]

Curt McGillicuty

[Emperor Smeat]

The Rock.

Mr Perfect had the advantage in wrestling skills but The Rock was one of the best at promos and popularity as a heel or face with a crowd. The Rock also had much stronger feuds than Mr Perfect and managed to have 1 feud become one of the 2 main feuds of the Attitude Era (Rock vs Austin, Austin vs McMahon).

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

How can you vote for the better wrestler in one round (Perfect over Hogan) and then go ahead and vote for the entertainer the next? You're all a bunch of freakin' Flip Floppers!

[Nark Order]

You're acting as if The Rock was some sort of slouch in the ring. He's one of the better in-ring competitors of all time IMO as well as being a force on the mic.

[The Mackem]

I don't agree with that. He was no idiot in the ring but he was never technically blessed. He had a limited moveset and silly moves just like Hogan. The main difference between the two is that Hogan was normally against limited opponents such as Warrior, Earthquake, Yokozuna whereas Rock was against good workers like Austin, Angle and Triple H.

[Dante69]

Good Bye Mr Perfect :(

[Nark Order]

I don't remember Rock ever being carried by anybody really. He was extremely athletic, was fast for a man of his size, had wonderful ring psychology, sold like a champion, and was extremely crisp in the execution of his moves. As far as his limited move set, many main-eventers are pushed with the same dimensions. I'd say the Rock was actually one of the guys that fit that mold the least, to be honest. He had his well known move-set, but it's not like he followed it religiously like Cena or something.

[Nark Order]

Loved his Stunner reactions. lol, they were ridiculous.

Only one who sold it better was Scott Hall

And the Rock was great in the ring. Who the fuck else made a jobber move 'The MOST ELECTRIFYING MOVE IN SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT?'

To be honest I find a lot of similarities between him and Cena. I always felt like you knew which moves were coming and in what order when watching one of his matches.

[Nicky Fives]

To be honest I find a lot of similarities between him and Cena. I always felt like you knew which moves were coming and in what order when watching one of his matches.

IMO, stating that The Rock's & John Cena's in-ring abilities are the same is talk from a crazy man.....

[Nark Order]

To be honest I find a lot of similarities between him and Cena. I always felt like you knew which moves were coming and in what order when watching one of his matches.

Agree to disagree, I suppose.

[Destor]

He's no Chris Hero, THAT'S for sure.
I know, right?

[Dante69]

The Rock was carried by Vince's cock and balls

[The Mackem]

IMO, stating that The Rock's & John Cena's in-ring abilities are the same is talk from a crazy man.....

Not the exact same but I find similarities. I'd take Rock over Cena and Hogan but I understand the train of thought that bunches these three guys in the same sort of bracket.

[Spaff]

The only person not already in the HoF who to ME PERSONALLY could see standing a chance against The Rock is Eddie Guerrero, and he just got used recently.

So... The Rock is HoF bound!

ehhhhhhhh ever hear of Flair or Bret

[St. Jimmy]

Perfect was screwed.

[Favre4Ever]

The Rock's matches against Angle and Jericho seem like evidence enough that he doesn't have a "limited move-set".

[St. Jimmy]

Hennig was screwed. FIX.

[Nicky Fives]

Not the exact same but I find similarities. I'd take Rock over Cena and Hogan but I understand the train of thought that bunches these three guys in the same sort of bracket.

well that makes one, as I certainly don't see it.....

[jskinnyg]

Perfect was screwed.

Good...
