I assumed he would make new polls for each round. Oh well, let me type some now.

it would work with multiple choices. But polls are overused.

Also, just do the first round.

I refuse to vote due to your failure to recognize King Haku

Randy Savage

I love Kurt Angle, but it's the fucking Macho King. Nobody rocked the king shit like The Macho Man.

Steve Austin

I loved Brock Lesnar too, but his King of the Ring was just another stepping stone in what seemed to be a flood of accolades for a very young competitor. It was like they were desperate to get him over. It worked. It did. But I don't think he really needed it.

I'll never forget that promo from Austin with his busted lip after beating Jake Roberts. Wrestling history right there.

Bret Hart

I'll be voting him to the finals no matter what.

Ken Shamrock

He didn't really do dick with his KOTR win, but neither did Ted...at least I don't think he did. I never saw it. I at least remember Shamrock winning, so there you have it. If this were 'Better Wrestler', I'd vote DiBiase.

Yeah, if Bret doesn't win this it will be a sad day in tpww.net history. He was by far the KoTR winner of all time.

Although like ABT said, Stone Cold's promo after winning was probably one of the most memorable speech's in WWE history.

History.

....... KENNEDY!!!!

K, I'm done spamming now :shifty:

The impact of Austin winning the King of the Ring was bigger than any other wrestler winning the King of the Ring.

That can be argued to being good timing. Wrestling was just becoming cool again and that one line helped Austin into super stardom. When Bret won wrestling wasn't popular, but his push helped keep the company successful during that time.

Not that I'm trying to tarnish Austins win at all, but it was two completely different times in wrestling eras.

lolwut

So when do the semi-finals begin?

QUARTER FINALS


Match 1: Triple Threat
HHH (1997)
Randy Savage (1987)
Kurt Angle (2000)

A very close match-up here in which all three could have progressed if a single vote had gone in a different direction. Kurt Angle progresses with 7 against Randy Savage's 6 and HHH's 5.


Match 2
Steve Austin (1996)
Brock Lesnar (2002)

Stone Cold pretty much walked this round with a 14 - 4 win over former UFC Champ.


Match 3
Bret Hart (1991 & 1993)
Edge (2001)

Both of these men took a clean sweep in the First Round but it's 'The Excellence of Execution' that progresses with 15 votes to Edge's 3.


Match 4
Ted DiBiase (1988)
Ken Shamrock (1998)

Is what may be seen as a surprise my many, Ken Shamrock managed to DRAW with Ted DiBiase 9 votes each. Both men progress.

Not an attack against anyone's votes, but how many of you actually remember Ted DiBiase being King of The Ring? And please tell me what his reign did to make it better than Shamrock or Harts. Again, this is just a general question not a flame.

I actually had no idea he even won it.

But, it is down to the individual's criteria.

If they wanna base it on who they like better overall then so be it. Doesn't have to be based on what they did as King.

Match 2: Triple Threat
Bret Hart (1991 & 1993)

Steve Austin

I love Kurt Angle more than any grown man should, but if we're talking King of the Ring, it's gotta be Austin with the nod here...and that's all I've got to say about that!

Bret Hart

I love Bret Hart more than any grown mad should. That is also all I have to say about that.

Ken Shamrock (1999)

Austin & Hart
