Wait a minute suckah. You ain't following the rules of Better Wrestler. Booker can't compete for a long time after losing dawg.
Shucky Ducky Quack Quack! This thread is not in my fave five suckah! |

And this. A tie is not a loss. In the even of a tie they are required to compete once the reigning campion is defeated or vacates the title. You are correct though STD afer losing a wrestler can not rechallenge for 50 matches. |

My delima here is Stramboats legend shines MUCH brighter. He has had a greater lasting impact. Booker T has had a greater ammount of work that I've PERSONALLY responded to.
So my question to myself is does my own personal enjoyment out rank Steamboats sizable contribution to the business? Ive got 3 days to figure that out I guess. |

I assume Booker to Trish for her to advance. Voting for Ricky cause he was a World Champion when it mattered and not a six time when it meant nothing.

If I had to pick one to build a company around, it would be Booker T.

Steamboat never stole awful catchphrases from a shitty Def Jam comic though.

You tricky son of a bitch.
I voted for Steamboat. I agree with the assessment that his legend shines brighter. He is the perennial babyface. And when you think about it in those terms, that's the realm Booker T should have inhabited. I never liked him as a heel. King Booker was fun and got him the World Title reign in WWE, but I understand the criticisms of it being goofy. There was probably someone around telling me how fucking stupid that was and I would have been like "lighten up, man" not realizing how we are hurtling towards Broken Matt Hardy. If Booker had been treated right when he originally came over to the WWF, and if he wasn't such a shitty heel when he wasn't King Booker, this might be very different. This seemed hard, but when you really break it down, Booker doesn't have that much on Steamboat. |

I am torn on this because I voted for Trish over Booker, Steamboat over Trish, but somehow am leaning towards voting Booker over Steamboat. I'll probably change my mind.

Final answer: Steamboat was onjectively better.

How is Booker T losing to Steamboat? First does not mean better. (See capt.Picard and Capt. Kirk) |

I remember ALWAYS zoning out when he was a heel. His run with Sharmell on SmackDown prior to becoming king apparently got good reviews, but I couldn't stand it.

Tough choice but went with Steamboat.
Seen more of Booker T's stuff and big moments but feel Steamboat was better in his era than Booker was for his own era. Booker probably could have been among the really greats of his era if a few things went his way like beating Triple H at Mania 19 or WCW having a better World title scene by the time Booker was getting his reigns. |

Ricky Steamboat was given the platform to have a great match with a great performer on a great stage with Randy Savage at WM III. Booker T was given that same opportunity with Triple H at WM XIX. Steamboat by a mile.

Toward the end of the match they made Booker look weak as fuck next to the almighty Triple H. It was infuriating and stupid. Booker T may have preformed at WM like steamboat but by no means was he given the platform to look as great as he could've

Steamboat by far for me.
I just could never connect with Booker T. Ricky was such a great natural babyface. I would definitely build my company around him if I had to choose. Steamboat was just so smooth in the ring. |

I don't know if I would build a company around Steamboat. I'd definitely take him as my mid-card champion/guy you can occasionally put against a really strong heel champion.
