[The Mackem]

Go for it Fortune City!

[CSL]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck you Destor you swine

[Destor]

Go for it Fortune City!They both are showing up for me...dunno.

[Destor]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck you Destor you swine
:D

[Jeritron]

Fortune City

[Destor]

Which pick isn't showing up for you lot and I'll change it.

[Juan]

Dammit Destor.

[Destor]

But I see them both.

[Juan]

I see them both too

[Juan]

I have feeling Perfect is going to run away with it this round, so I voted Regal to give him a fighting chance.

Obviously, Perfect has had a bigger impact on the business, but I can't discount what a bad ass Regal is in the ring.

[Jeritron]

But I see them both.

Why don't you take me and Mackem's word and edit the fuckin thing?

[Jeritron]

BUB

[Jeritron]

desention in the BW committee

[Destor]

Cause I don't know which wrestler you cant see.

[Destor]

READ MY FN POSTS

[CSL]

Perfect not showing for me

[Destor]

k

[Destor]

how bout now?

[Jeritron]

Its showing.

I said Fortune City, implying I voted for it. That's why I thought you knew. I just realized that was kinda vague

[Juan]

This thread is so going in the next installment of botchamania

[Destor]

CSL said the same though, and didn't vote.

[Fabien Barthez]

Oh my. I think this one is going to be hard to justify whoever I pick. I will decide tomorrow.

[Destor]

It seems like people are having to think on this one.

[Cactus Jack 54]

Hennig is a better "overall" wrestler, however, I don't think that there is anybody in WWE now who could out shoot Regal, and that's what I'm basing my pick on.

In an actual wrestling match, Regal all the way.

[DaveBrawl]

Curt Henning. Everytime Regal gets on a roll something derails him. Sometimes it's his fault, sometimes it's not. Henning on the other hand was consistantly great, thus my vote.

[BigDaddyCool]

Curt Henning. Everytime Regal gets on a roll something derails him. Sometimes it's his fault, sometimes it's not. Henning on the other hand was consistantly great, thus my vote.

At least Regal is still a live.

I voted Regal because I'm more familar with his work and ticked off the Hennig beat Savage.

[Ruien]

Mr. Perfect has to get my vote. Not many things caught my attention when I was a kid, but he did. Something about him made me want to keep watching, maybe it was just me wanting to be perfect.

[Krimzon7]

Regal is great, but there has always been something that holds him back from hitting the A Status. In my mind he reminds me of a mixture of Shelton Benjamin talent, with Jeff Hardy like Charisma. He's fearless enough to tackle ANY gimmick (insert Man's Man theme), as I believed him as a psychopath wrestler as well as a cunning GM. The cherry on top is that he has fucking Layla walking her sweet ass to the ring with him now.


Mr. Perfect is just what he says he was. I don't know if I'm elevating him because of his death in this instance, but he did everything well. I feel like we see traits of his gimmick in may of the attitude stars that we love. While I love what SCSA and Rocky did in promos, their gimmicks (I will talk a ton of shit and back it up!, Perfect was the first one I saw do it.


In all Honesty, this is a PUSH to me. MY heart goes with Perfect (no pun intended), simply because he's the incumbent.

[Krimzon7]

Holy shit, this will be a good one.

[Innovator]

Perfect, Regal never shat underneath a ring in WCW

[BigDaddyCool]

Perfect, Regal never shat underneath a ring in WCW

So, shitting under the ring is ok, but shitting in the ring is not?

[Innovator]

As a rib to everyone else underneath there, yeah its funny

In the Wrestlemania main event...cmon take care of business before

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Going with Perfect again. While they're both great wrestlers, Hennig just had that indescribable "it" factor that forced you to watch him in the ring as he systematically broke down his opponent.

[Kane86]

This was a tough one.BUt i am going to have to go with Mr. Perfect. They are just both excellent in the ring. I wonder if this ever happened.

[Krimzon7]

:eek:This Thread did happen! It's happening RIGHT NOW!!!:eek:

[Krimzon7]

Are there any links to the story of him shitting under a ring? Perfect got a rep for being a pretty big prankster, and I'd like to hear more please.

[thedamndest]

Both men are the wrestler's wrestler, in the ring and out of the ring. Tough call, but I went with Perfect as I have more childhood memories watching him. I don't think the votes right now do justice to Mr. Regal though. I also wish they never started calling him William when he came to the WWF.

[Kane86]

I know the belt didn't really mean much. But Regal was one of the best European champions ever.

[mike adamle]

regal entertains me more, plus he kayfabe has layla, i mean sure its kayfabe, but still, layla

[Hornicane]

Went with Regal by a hair. As said before, they're both amazing wrestlers and all-around entertaining, but as mentioned, Regal's ability to make any gimmick seem legit did it for me.

[Lock Jaw]

Went with Regal because of his hair.

[Lock Jaw]

Actually, for real I just enjoy Regal better. Perfect I think is the better wrestler, but Regal is one of the all time greats of facial expressions and mannerisms.

[Arashi Kage]

I almost voted for Regal just because he is called Lord Steven Regal (his proper name :y: ) in this poll and not William Regal, lol.

Voted for Macho Man....err, I mean Mr. Perfect. :shifty:

[Good Ol JG]

Perfect wins close. Both are incredibly skilled, entertaining, and accomplished. But Perfect is an all-time guy, and I'm not sure yet if Regal will be.

[Nark Order]

I'm still bitter about Curt Hennig beating Savage but I can't vote Regal here. Mr. Perfect it is.

[Fabien Barthez]

My favourite of the two is Hennig. By miles. I think he was a joy to watch in the ring, he had an awesome look, cool tights, worked the Mr Perfect gimmick, which he was given, not something he brought to NY with him, and made it one of the biggest gimmicks in the company for a good few years. His mic work with the Flair/Savage fued was legendary. You can't question a man who was put into promos with Flair and Heenan regarding stick skills. His colour commentary was entertaining. I am totally overlooking his AWA run, which produced some of his best matches IMO. Especially with Bockwinkel. And even his WCW run, where he was fairly injured all the time, but still worked good matches in a shit sandwich of a company, and did his thing well for his tenure there.

Regal though, on reflection is the last great mat wrestler. Especially from England. I saw him work for years for Dale Martins in England, and he was a master of the english style. He is probably the only big named American star who could work puro and do it well. His matches from Japan in the mid to early 90's are understated when you watch them, becuase he fits into the believable ways of Japanese style. He has had great success in America. Not many people could pull this off. Not many people are trained by the great Adrian Street though. For those who don't know, and that will be most of you, Adrian Street is the greatest wrestler you've never heard of. So far before his time with every aspect of pro wrestling. Tougher than anyone also.

He has worked comical angles, in a non wrestling capacity, with a non-english speaking sidekick, and gotten it over with his skills, and he has worked rugged tough bastard gimmicks and gotten them over with his style in the ring. The only place Regal suffers in my eyes is his look. At times, he has looked really cool, and like a larger than life character, but mostly, he has looked very generic, which has to be why he is as high on the card right now, as he has ever been or likely to get.

So in summation, regal is over in england, japan and US. All because he knows how to appeal to different crowds, in different countries with the way he works in the ring, along with his facials, which over the years have been some of the best in the business, his general manner and his hugely underrated mic work.... I think Regal is the better wrestler.

But again, I would rather watch Hennig.

[Tazz Dan]

I voted Regal becuase he seems to be BDCA :y:

[Londoner]

Gonna vote for Perfect on this one,never really liked Regal tbh.

Just realized how long its been since i voted on one of these.

[Rammsteinmad]

Regal. But damn that had to be one of the hardest BW's ever.

[The Gold Standard]

Regal is very good, but Mr. Perfect is just in a whole other league. Easy choice, Mr. Perfect

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Still going with Perfect, I stand by my statement of two people being able to beat him. One is in the hall of fame and the other isn't eligible again yet I don't believe.

[CSL]

I am going to give Regal the sympathy vote because I was too much of a woman to make a decision when it was close

[CSL]

Voting against Hennig felt wrong

[The Optimist]

I would have voted for Regal. He wouldn't have won.
