The return of Better Wrestler is here. After a long hiatus, let me refresh your memory. Flair defeated Piper in a close one to block him from entering the Better Wrestler Hall of Fame. For his first defending matchup, he'll have to face a special contender.

To celebrate the return of Better Wrestler we get the return of an eliminated wrestler. One night only.

One night only = 3 nights only. You get the point shitheads.

My feelings on Flair are pretty wel documented so I dont think I need to elaborate on my voting descisions.

This is Zen's chance to get out there and make his voice heard! Rock the vote.

Flair was the man. He had the charisma, the mic skills and, although not the technical wrestling skills of others, always gave his best.

He could draw so much heat from a crowd he could make an ordinary card into a hot event.

Bret had the technical skills. He drew with the kids, but for me, didn't do so much. On the mic, I found him lacking.

What legacy did they both leave to the business - IMO Flair left so much more and I believe he mentored the next generation of wrestlers way more than Bret did (if at all).

Gotta go with Flair :y:

Destor

I think we need a third guy to head this with us Jerry.

Jeritron

What ever happened to Heroes Welcome? Did he wear out his welcome? Or is he off being a hero somewhere?

What Would Kevin Do?

10-10-2008, 01:54 AM

Flair, period. There are very few people I'd vote over him.

Destor

He isn't inot mainstream wrestling all that much anymore and TPWW isn't known for talking about much else.

Jeritron

10-10-2008, 02:08 AM

Fair enough. Although if he was able to put up with it in the Cena/Orton capacity over the past year, I'd think he'd be able to do the same for Punk/Jericho, both of whom he marked hard for.

Destor

10-10-2008, 02:17 AM

Oh yeah.

Destor

10-10-2008, 02:17 AM

Theddy would be cool for this if He COULD BE SERIOUS FOR A MOMENT.

Destor

If Bret had more consistent mic skills and wasn't still a whiny bitch i'd consider this a bit more but alas...

Jeritron

Theddy would be cool for this if He COULD BE SERIOUS FOR A MOMENT.

I agree. We naturally work as a trio anyways. Him and me would just have to agree to check our google image thread bombing wit at the door

Destor

10-10-2008, 02:25 AM

Well you do get to google pic of the combatants...maybe that will be enough for him.

When Great White Sharks are placed in captivity, they always die shortly after for unexplained reasons. Same water, same thing. The problem is that you're giving them a limited space when they've had access to the whole ocean. It's just not the same for them.

Gotta go with Flair :y:

You read my mind, sir.

Well said. The only thing I would add would be Bret wasn't that good at putting others over in the ring aka playing the defensive role. I mean sure Flair dose over do it, but can anyone really recall Bret playing the weak card?

Afterlife

10-10-2008, 04:48 AM

Voted Bret because Flair can't wrestle.

I always wanted those sunglasses when I was a kid. Hating on everyone that recieved them from Bret.

This poll is a natch.

10-7 Flair. Might be a close match. :y:

Best joke I've heard in a while.

Watching Bret on WWE 24/7, mic skills don't hold up to the NATURE BOY

Really, two of Flairs best matches are the Steamboat/Flair 2/3 Falls and Flair/Funk I Quit. Two contrasting matches both reaking of some serious awesomeness.

Nature Boy, hands down.

Flair, easily. Michaels is the only one who could beat him for me.

Put Flair up against the boyfriend who blackened his eye.

Flair. Not really a hart choice here.

See what I did there?

Heros Welcome

10-10-2008, 01:28 PM

Dest and Jeri...I am still here and still watching!

It was rough over the summer thats why I went away for a while, but i am indeed BACK!

I love Bret despite everything.

However... you just CAN'T vote against Ric Flair.

CSL

Voted Bret because Flair can't wrestle.

That's going on the list

What Would Kevin Do?

Flair, easily. Michaels is the only one who could beat him for me.

4 knuckles up, A7X, Afterlife, Ben Rodrigues, blueskies, Dorkchop, Gerard, MVP, Nowhere Man, PapaGeorgio, Ruien, Skull316, The Genius, Triple Naitch, Xerzes, Zen v.W.o.

For the record, you are all incorrect. Just so you guys know.

What was the verdict on mixing it up and doing tag teams in Better Wrestler competitions? I would love to see some Steiner Brother action up in here.

Destor

He's just being colorful, way to be an ass RUIEN.

If you would like to make a poll on this we will gage the public opinions.*

*note a vote for them doesn't garuntee I will condone this

thedamndest

10-11-2008, 10:26 PM

You had better condone it.

Destor

10-11-2008, 10:28 PM

Depends on the arguments for/against it. I'm on the fence. Just need to be swayed.

How else are you going to get Hawk in the Hall of Fame? How?
