Better Wrestler #7

[Destor]

Jericho did it. But this is point the point where NO wrestler has made it beyond so far. This is the half way point to the Better Wrestler Hall of Fame. RVD fell to Perfect and Perfect to Jericho. Will Jericho fall hear as well? It's up to TPWW. Today's match:

By request I went with Regal. Dunno how he'll fair, but this thing has surprised on all most every occasion so far. Lets see how this plays out, shall we? Three day as usual and don't be afraid to post you suggestions for the next challenger.

History:

RVD vs Santino Marella (36-4)
RVD vs Mr. Perfect (15-23-1)
Mr. Perfect vs Tully Blanchard (30-5-1)
Mr. Perfect vs Chris Jericho (15-23-3)
Chris Jericho vs Brock Lesnar (34-10)

Wow just goes to show how overrated Jericho really is.

[The Optimist]

Or underrated/hated Brock Lesnar is.

[Destor]

There is really no competition here. While Regal is an OUTSTANDING talent he just can not touch Jericho. In his WCW days I prefer Regal as a wrestler to Jericho and I preferred Jericho as a personality. Now it's vice versa. But I think Jericho's personality in WCW was superior to Regal WWE persona. On the other hand I prefer Regals WCW wrestling to anything Jericho has ever done in the ring. Which kinda cancels it all out. So for me it comes down to accomplishments and connection with the crowd, both of which have to go to Jericho.

[Destor]

For the record this is the first time I voted for Jericho, which statistically means he will loose.

[The Optimist]

I picked Draw. Up until this point, I've enjoyed them completely totally equally.

For note's sake: nothing would make me happier than to have Regal get a world title push.

[Kane Knight]

Or underrated/hated Brock Lesnar is.

I think this is more to the heart of the matter.

Chris Jericho, internet darling, vs. Brock Lesnar, who gets the internet's collective panties in a twist.

Who's going to win, and by how much?

Though to be fair, I also voted Jericho, and I think the people bitching about Brock are morons. It wasn't exactly an easy choice, but the longevity of Jericho vs. the short career of Brock leaves a lot of of points in Jericho's corner, and I don't think that can be dismissed, either. Jericho's had a full career, Brock didn't.

Now Regal, I like Regal, but I'm still going to vote Jericho. Do I think Jericho is flawless, a perfect specimen? No, but I was a pretty big fan of him going back to the earliest time I can remember him. Do I think Regal is bad? No, Regal can be a trememndous character, and is a solid wrestler in a style that's overlooked often enough.

However, this comes down to a man I'm prone to appreciate versus one I'm prone to enjoy, and so it's going to go for the latter every time. In this case, Jericho wins. Though I've got to admit, one of the things I have consistently loved about Raw on the few occasions I've seen it is GM/Commissioner/Whatever Regal.

[KYR]

I am really struggling with this one. Toughest one so far. Could go either way atm - although looking at that photo of Jericho you posted just makes me want to belt the life out him. :mad:

Determined not to vote draw.

[Destor]

there's nothing wrong with a draw.

[KYR]

Hang on a minute! Just looked at the results. No one's voted for Regal yet??????

No. No. NO!! That's hardly indicative of how close these two are (IMO).

That settles it - Regal it is! (Or should I go Jericho?)

[Innovator]

Jericho by a cup of tea

[D Mac]

I went with Regal. It was just my first instinct.

[Impact!]

Jericho has always been one of my favourites, so gotta go with him

[Good Ol JG]

I've always had a soft spot for Regal, so it's really hard to vote against him, especially seeing how he's losing by such a high margin. But, to be fair about it, Jericho is clearly the winner here. His accomplishments dwarf Regal's, I man really there's not much of a comparison there. I would give the nod to Regal as far just a straight up better wrestler, and they're on par as characters IMO, but Jericho has the accomplishments that Regal doesn't. I would cream my pants if Regal ever got a real solid ME push, though.

[Dorkchop]

As amazing as Regal is, in the ring and on the mic, once again I gotta vote for Jericho. I just find him more entertaining in the ring. Jericho's not perfect, but he's damn entertaining. I know what Regal is capable of, but he's barely had a chance to showcase any of his talent in a WWF/E ring. He's had some great matches, but WWE have never really given him a big time feud (I don't think). It's such a shame. Regal isn't the kind of guy you say "OH MY GOD I HAVE TO WATCH RAW", but he's one of the guys who can keep you from turning the channel.

[Dorkchop]

Jericho, although not amazing right now, is the kind of guy you watch Raw for. I just hope he gets back into the grove quicker. He's not bad by any means... he's just less awesome.

[Heros Welcome]

Though I do respect Regal a lot, and love his work I'm taking Jericho without hesitation.

[Nervous Ferret]

nigel mcguiness plz

[Mercury Bullet]

Jericho. But Regal is a tougher opponent for this than Brock in my book.

[BigDaddyCool]

I said Regal cause he is funnier than Jericho.

[Londoner]

Regal is good there's no denying that, but i can't say he's as good as Jericho.

[Rammsteinmad]

Jericho.

Regal is the man though. :y:

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I said Regal cause I :heart: him and Jericho shouldn't have made it this far to begin with.

[Porcupine]

If you asked me this before Jerichos hiatus, I wouldve said it was a draw. But nowadays, I will go wit Regal because over time, he has entertained me more and I think he matches Jericho pretty evenly in the total package department. Basically it comes down to loving everything Regal has ever done (that I've seen) and not liking Jericho at all since his return.

[Destor]

Regal is getting pwnd. I expected this, but still.

[Londoner]

Give jericho a tougher opponent than regal, but not too tough. ;)

[Destor]

I took the frst person that was requested because I wasn't in the mood to pick one myself. Clearly people dont read the things I put in the first post because I asked peple to post their choice for his next canidate. So do it up.

[Londoner]

Ok do Kurt angle next. Could be close that one.

[Lock Jaw]

I vote Regal, because he talks different than I do.

[Destor]

Ok do Kurt angle next. Could be close that one.
I'd really hate to do such a great wrestler so early, I'll think about it. Still keep the suggestions coming. I may/may not use them but it cant hurt.

[Londoner]

Hmm, but you used jericho early.:shifty:

[Jura]

Eddie Guerrero and then Chris Benoit because all three were the cruiserweights from WCW and were like brothers.

[Londoner]

Yeh do eddie next, whose benoit btw?

[Destor]

Hmm, but you used jericho early.:shifty:I don't want the early goings void of quality wrestlers either. I'm to keep an even blend.

[Destor]

I like the sound of Eddie though. I'll think about it.

[Destor]

Eddie Guerrero and then Chris Benoit because all three were the cruiserweights from WCW and were like brothers.cna't really do both. If Jericho wins his next match he goes into the hall of Fame.

[BigDaddyCool]

Does Jericho say Umanga? NO! Regal wins.

[Better Than You]

I'll vote Regal just so he doesn't look so bad.

[Lock Jaw]

Regal never looks bad. What with his snazzy suits...

[BigDaddyCool]

Is HBK or Flair already out of this? Cause either of them could kill jericho.

[St. Jimmy]

I hate voting against these two, mostly because they have one amazing thing in common. They both embarrassed Bill Goldberg.

[Porcupine]

Is HBK or Flair already out of this? Cause either of them could kill jericho.

Yeah HBK would be an interesting match up.
