DDP is one of my all time favorites. Probably in my top 10. No idea why people don't have then higher than some typically mid card act.

DDP for me.
For someone who started wrestling so late, he became a main event talent in one of the big two, and not only that, he was one of the only WCW main eventers you could rely on to provide a great match at the top of the card. What Raven did in ECW was great and shouldn't be discounted, but DDP went higher than that and became a multi-time world champ in one of the big two. He also won every belt there was to win in WCW. He was charismatic, had iconic music and finisher and for my money, was better in the ring than Raven too. |

Loved Raven but DDP wins this easily. Really good worker and it's remarkable how much his career took off when he was already north of 40.
Feel like even if he had never wrestled a match, he'd deserve to go into the HOF as a contributor just for DDP Yoga. |

I was torn on if DDP was a round 3 or 4 opponent...looks like he was a 4...or maybe Raven is a 2...dunno.

DDP was my favorite face in WCW. Always fun to watch too. As great as Raven was, he never had the same kind of Main Event feel as DDP.
This isn't close in my mind. |

Raven just isn't on the same level as DDP
Championships,books, Yoga, hitting the cutter in ways Orton has yet to even explore and more than anything else Positively Kanyon. Page started late but finished first. |

It's funny, some people can't fucking stand Page.... surprised at how lopsided this is. Knocks on him are he was a bit stiff and mechanical in the ring, and a dastardly politician behind the scenes (welcome to wrestling) and although very over at one point, it was quite fleeting.
In saying that I loved him, he was by far my favourite when I started watching WCW in late 97. |

And also I think he was a fucking fantastic worker, don't understand a lot of the criticism he's received.

DDP. Just due to him starting wrestling at the age he did, and his miracle work with Hall and Roberts and many others with DDP yoga. He was technically the People's Champion before The Rock was also.

DDP featured in the first wrestling match I watched.
Enjoyed his work and was a shame he was buried during the invasion as one of WCWs biggest stars. Also, his WCW theme music was the tits. |

Did Scott and Jake stay clean or cleaning after DDP helped them?

Jake has been pretty clean and I think Scott can still get into a bit of trouble but is overall doing much better healthwise.

DDP.
Was a huge fan of him back in the day! More so than Raven. Plus DDP Yoga is pretty awesome! |

Never a huge fan of DDP's. His career was better, but I'm going to toss Raven a vote because I liked him better and he's getting blown out lol

I prefer Raven overall, but DDP was mega-over in WCW so he gets my vote. Not the best technically, but he was very believable, likely why his connection to the fans was so strong....

I was never a big DDP fan.
I would say that these two had the best matches with Goldberg back in the day, and even though DDP's is talked about a lot and was pretty good, I preferred the Raven US title match. Thusly, I'll vote the Raven. |

I wouldn't say that. Sunday Night Heat is still Raven's playground to this day. I think he's still creating a masterpiece or something.

I would put WWE Motivational Speaker DDP alone over Raven. And that's not even a knock on Raven. DDP was amazing with that gimmick.

Raven's feud with Tommy Dreamer in ECW was so fucking good though.

DDP.
Give the nod to Raven in terms of promo skills but DDP was better as the overall package and had more memorable moments. |
