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

[Innovator]

Dolph Ziggler. Tough but Dolph is the 2nd coming of Curt Hennig.

[RiX1024]

Toughie, My vote goes to Mr. Ziggler.

[Gertner]

Ziggler shouldn't have beaten the Miz, but he gets the nod here over Barrett, who is solid as well.

[Nicky Fives]

Both are the future of the business..... as much as Ziggler is better in the ring, Barrett is better on the mic..... both are great, but Barrett gets my vote by the narrowest of margins....

[jskinnyg]

Normally I would agree with what Nicky says here, but I am actually leaning towards the Zigg this time...

[Innovator]

Ziggler on Z True LI Story shows he has some ridiculous mic skills

[Rock Bottom]

Zigg. But I have always liked Barrett.

[KaosDarksol]

Barrett... Too bad ziggler will win this one

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Wade for sure, but I can totally understand anyone voting for Ziggler.

[screech]

Wade for sure, but I can totally understand anyone voting for Ziggler.

Hasney conveyed my point better than I did.

[VSG]

Wade Bah-utt

[Anybody Thrilla]

I like this current era match ups. Easier to compare.

Harder to decide, though. I'm voting Ziggler to the HOF, though. Sorry Wade. I love you.

[Aguakate]

Crazy, but I truly believe Wade Barrett's best main eventing days are behind him...

...Dolph Ziggler hasn't even reached his peak yet, he's on his way there.

[Wolfpack423]

I voted for Dolph, just because I think he is one of the most solid competitors today. I like his music better too. Wade Barrett is excellent in the ring and on the mic no doubt, and I like that he is slowly getting built up again, but I just think Ziggler is better overall. I would like to see Ziggler move up the card. Have Ryder win the US title and then Ziggler can become one of the perennial front-runners that could win the Royal Rumble and be around the World Title scene early next year. I know he was around the World Title at the beginning of this year, but I think it will be more believable in 2012 as he has built himself up really well. His mic skills are improving well as well. Also, from last poll, Miz has gorwn on me and has been getting better in the ring recently. He's good on the mic (don't think he is one of the best), but definitely one of the better guys on the roster today in that department. Still don't like R-Truth though. Haven't liked him since 2000.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ziggler.

Both can put on good matches and provide good promos but Ziggler was able to show he can succeed without always requiring Vickie Guerrero for a match or promo.

Barrett is slowly regaining his momentum from the Nexus days but Ziggler is much closer to potential main event status due to his rise mimicking what was done with The Miz 1-2 years earlier.

[Ermaximus]

Let's all be ready for Lara posting that TPWW is holding Wade Barrett down.

[Rammsteinmad]

Love both of these guys, but I went with Barrett since I knew Ziggler would win this round and it wouldn't matter anyway. Barrett did something last year that not many people have been able to do, he was instantly thrust from being a nobody to spending half of 2010 feuding with the #1 guy in the company, and he delivered.

Sure, we all hated how the whole Nexus thing turned out in the end, but Barrett none-the-less rose to the occasion and made us all believe this guy was a contender.

How many times over the years have people been thrown into the main event unprepared? How many 'monsters' debuted attacking big stars, only to show they can't actually wrestle, or talk... or do anything? After NXT, Barrett debuted on Raw attacking John Cena, and for the rest of 2010 we accepted him as a legit threat to the WWE. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone else who had done that.

Dolph Ziggler is awesome too, though. And clearly either man deserves to win this.

[XCaliber]

This is a tough one one but i'd have to go with Barrett he's probably one of the few brawlers I have ever liked in the business and he's absolute gold whenever he is on the mic.

[Lock Jaw]

Ziggler should not have beaten Miz, but I say he beats out Barrett. If they let Barrett keep any sort of steam/momentum from the Nexus angle, he would have easily won.

Also, WTF is up with Dolph's torso? Seriously freaking me out. Torso bulge.

[Rammsteinmad]

He's still in much better shape than you. :p

[Lock Jaw]

No doubt. But my torso doesn't have oddly shaped bulges.

[Rammsteinmad]

My torso is an oddly shaped bulge. :(

[Lock Jaw]

I am skinny fat.

[VSG]

I can believe that.

[ddpBANG]

I'm really starting to like Barrett, but I already really like Ziggles.

[Aguakate]

No doubt. But my torso doesn't have oddly shaped bulges.

They're called Obliques.

Dude just probably does a lot of "core work".

[Skippord]

Barrett, cause I'm assuming Ziggler will win by a lot and I love Barrett

[Xerzes]

Both have a lot of potential. Ziggler's got the advantage of having been on TV for a good bit longer, and occasionally had the chance to show off.

[Aguakate]

Ziggler's got the advantage of actually having CHARISMA.

Barrett is dull as fuck.

[tjmidnight420]

Zig Zag. Barrett has done nothing to make me care for his character.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ziggler's got the advantage of actually having CHARISMA.

Barrett is dull as fuck.

You wouldn't know charisma if it snuck up behind you, talked you into bed and it came on your face.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

#Heel

[El Fangel]

Wade for sure, but I can totally understand anyone voting for Ziggler.

[Juan]

Ziggler's got the advantage of actually having CHARISMA.

Barrett is dull as fuck.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

[screech]

Ziggler's got the advantage of actually having CHARISMA.

Barrett is dull as fuck.

You are a moron.

[The Gold Standard]

Ziggler shouldn't have beaten the Miz, but he gets the nod here over Barrett, who is solid as well.

This 100%

[Aguakate]

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

You are a moron.

BRB I'm wrong, and a moron, because I have my own opinion.

BRB I've gotta give in to peer pressure like other people here and agree with everybody.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

hurry back!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I'm not quite sure why he had to leave on either of those things.

BRB I'm totally amazing.

[Ermaximus]

Screech needs a ratings boost. He's easily breaking away from the pack!

[screech]

BRB I'm wrong, and a moron, because I have my own opinion.

BRB I've gotta give in to peer pressure like other people here and agree with everybody.

You passing your opinion as fact makes you a moron. Barrett has charisma, lots of it in fact, so you are also wrong.

Don't know what you're on about with peer pressure since you voted with the majority, but okay.
