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

[4 knuckles up]

Christian. He's a better all-rounder.

[Ruien]

Christian and I don't feel the need to tell anyone why.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I think I know who that DLVH guy is voting for.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Just for a fun little experiment, I would respectfully ask that anyone who is very familiar with Liger's work but voted for Christian anyway to please come forward and identify himself.

This will help in determining the use of other Japanese stars in future Better Wrestlers.

Thanks in advance,
S.O.

[Volare]

I voted for Lyger, just so DLVH couldn't say he's the only one who did.





If Christain somehow doesn't win this round, I have no confidence in TPWW as a whole anymore.

[BizarroKing]

Liger I hear is good but he hasn't done much in the USA as opposed to Christian.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Liger I hear is good but he hasn't done much in the USA as opposed to Christian.

Interesting. So by that logic, JBL is a better wrestler than Ultimo Dragon. I guess I could see that.

[Seth82]

wow apparently many here haven't seen alot of Liger's matches

definitely voting for Jushin "Thunder" Lyger

as far as him doing much in America well he appeared quite a few times in WCW IIRC

[Innovator]

Liger is/was amazing and ahead of his time.

PLUS he has an awesome theme

<iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5dFYm3avd4c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[XCaliber]

Liger has put on so many better matches so I voted for him.

[El Tigre]

Voted for Liger, didn't give it a second thought, not even a contest for me.

[Lock Jaw]

JBL is totally better than Ultimo Dragon.

Anyways, the answer to this round is Christian.

[Gertner]

Liger. Christian sucks.

[Kal-El]

The Juice ! And I don't mean Juvey. Liger's matches don't get as stale like Christian's.

[CSL]

Interesting. So by that logic, JBL is a better wrestler than Ultimo Dragon. I guess I could see that.

Ultimo is merely a wrestling disciple 10 belts or no 10 belts, he's no WRESTLING GOD-AH

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Holy turn of events, Batman! This contest has gone from knockout to nail biter in the blink of an eye!

[Rammsteinmad]

Sucks that Booker T is out, but Christian is awesome, so it's acceptable. And my vote goes to Christian by the way. Always thought Liger was a bit overrated to be honest.

On that note, I don't mind seeing some Japanese wrestlers in here, but only the 'main ones'. I don't really follow Japanese wrestling much, so to me most of them look the same and have the same name. I'm only familiar with the big name wrestlers.

[St. Jimmy]

Liiiiiiiiiiiger.

[Lock Jaw]

Holy turn of events, Batman! This contest has gone from knockout to nail biter in the blink of an eye!

Don't know what you were expecting. Was surprised that Xtian got such a big opponent so early on.

[St. Jimmy]

Vote for Liger.

[VSG]

Hey JBL is a wrestling GOD!

[Nicky Fives]

Liger's never made it anywhere other than Japan..... Christian by far.....

[Juan]

Liger's never made it anywhere other than Japan......

Unlike Christian, who's a worldwide commodity.

[Lock Jaw]

He IS a commodity in the only part of the world that matters though! :shifty:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

TNA?

[Gertner]

Christian is so over-rated. Liger and it's not even close.

[Wishbone]

Really torn here but in the end went with Liger for having the more entertaining matches, but I must say this was extremely close for me.

[BizarroKing]

Interesting. So by that logic, JBL is a better wrestler than Ultimo Dragon. I guess I could see that.

I merely meant Liger is much more renowned in Japan as opposed to America and from what I seen of him he is amazing, but I still say Christian beats him this round...

[Supreme Olajuwon]

OIC

[Innovator]

I love Christian, thought he deserved better for a long time, but Liger should be winning this.

[RiX1024]

Again my vote goes to Christian.

[CSL]

Booker T is "better" than both of them SUCKASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[The Gold Standard]

Christian and I don't feel the need to tell anyone why.

[Juan]

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of this thread somewhat?

[MoFo]

Christian, because I dont like Japanese wrestlers and think Puroseau (sp?) is boring as fuck.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of this thread somewhat?

No, but it's pretty redundant to post that you don't want to voice an opinion. To not voice an opinion you just have to vote and not post.

I went with Christian because Lyger wasn't on American television enough for me to see him except for occasional spot-fests.
