I guess Afterlife hates Christian cause there's no other excuse for this one. Christian greatest strength is his promos. Well he isn't in the same league with DiBiase on the stick. And if we talk in the ring it's the same story. In comparison Christian is a joke. And the poll better reflect it.

DAMMIT DESTOR.

I love both men in a heterosexual way.

But... I think my vote will go to Christian. I predict that he will need it.

Definitely Dibease. I love Christian, but The Million Dollar Man gimmick was such a PERFECT gimmick, especially during the time it was around, and Ted Dibease played that character to a mother fucking tilt. I'm not so sure anybody could have made that character work like Ted did. I enjoyed his ring work more than Christian's too. Pretty easy pick for me here, as Dibeases is one of my favorites ever.

CHristian is far superior to Dibiase! YOu tricked me, Destor!! :mad:

WHAT?!?! :roll:

BATTLE CAT

Been waiting for Ted DiBiase to get up here for awhile. Million Dollar Man is one of the best in the ring, on the stick, at commentary, as a manager, all around great. I suppose he doesn't play a very good babyface, but eh, rich guys probably aren't supposed to. And the Million Dollar Belt is my second favorite, only to the 80's Intercontinental.

lol

Anybody who can make you give a fuck about Virgil is definitely a legend.

Hey, Virgil was the man. I am sorry that WWF booking could not see WWF championship material in him like I could.

Gonna vote Christian just cause i haven't seen much of Ted Dibiase and obviously have seen more of Christians work.

This could be another close one it seems..

Christian shouldn't even get a single vote on this one. How is he only one vote behind?

Still early though.

No one can beat Christian.

Especially not some douche with a sleeper hold. :roll:

I wanna neg you soooo much right now. :mad:

It's actually a cobra clutch. God, I keep forgetting how many young people are on these boards. How have you not seen much of Dibease????

We're old :'(

Best theme ever. The should have Jr. do the same shtick.

Resist the urge! Remember my bumper sticker: "Destor is the Bestor"!! It's all for you, bub! :love:

Well this is coming from a guy who thinks Ric Flair is shit...sooo...

Ric flair ain't shit, just past his best. As you would be at his age..

BATTLE KAT

:nono:

I'm too young to have Dibiase nostalgia. But I expect this too be a slaughter.

So much potential negrepping for Afterlife.

The age thing was mostly referring to TL. Also, Christian really isn't all that amazing in the ring. There, I said it.

I can't do it no matter how much he deserves it. :heart:

I've pointed this out in every round so far.

I suggest "Lightning Foot" Jerry Flynn to take on the winner of this one.

Watching a Lynn shoot right now actually. But I dunno. The next one will be putting christian in the HoF if he wins this and no TPWWer is familiar enough with Lynn to put him over despite the fact he's LEAGUES above Christian.

Exactly!

I said Jerry Flynn, not Jerry Lynn.

This guy, but try to find a picture when he had that curly mullet. It will help his case.

lol, my bad

Thirded.

Yeah, I remeber him jobbing to Goldberg.

Christian, just for the fact I am to young to know Ted DiBiase stuff. Besides for the faint memories of him with the 1-2-3 Kid.

Come on. You can't showcase a match with Brutus freakin' Beefcake if you're trying to sway the vote.

This poll is retarded.

DiBiase's got better mic skills, gimmick, is a much better heel (one of the best ever in my mind) and Money Inc. is one of my favorite tag teams. The only category christian wins is wrestling style but alas it's not enough in this battle.

So says Battle Kat. :p

I am really disappointed in TPWW right now.

No shit

Not as bad as Taz getting into this things Hall of Fame.

LOL Jerry Flynn. I remember that guy.

Anyway I voted for The Million Dollar Man. Even if you had never heard of either of the two of them, just by looking at the two pictures you should be able to tell that he was entirely more awesome.

Haven't posted in like a year, but this caught my eye. This one is way closer than it should be. Gotta help the Million dollar man win this one.

Wasn't he in The First Family with Jimmy Hart?

Thank you all, I just pulled Ted ahead.

I will, yet again, restate my claim that Ted DiBiase is the best heel in the history of Vince McMahon's company, F or E. The Million Dollar Man gimmick could easily have sat up there alongside the Red Rooster, Akeem, or Repo Man in terms of laughability, but DiBiase had the look and the voice to make it believable, plus he was a technical minimalist master in a day when technical wrestling was not yet cool. I remember being a mark kid and hating him for being such a bad guy, and still I watched him put on matches against jobber opponents on All American Wrestling, Wrestling Challenge, and Superstars, matches that put half the midcard to shame. He was mesmerising in that god damn ring, second possibly to the Undertaker in terms of a man whose every muscular twitch serves a purpose. He was a cowardly heel when he had to be, but you KNEW he was a dangerous opponent. I remember after he and Virgil beat the Rhodeses, at school (sixth grade if I recall correctly) having an argument with this kid:

Him: I can't believe Dusty got beat like that?
Me: The Million Dollar man is in much better shape, Dusty's an old fat guy. He didn't have a chance.

Not to mention, forget about making people care about Virgil, who else could make the Million Dollar belt mean something? I remember when Jake Roberts stole it and carried it around in his bag with Damien; you could tell that DiBiase wanted it back as bad as if it was an actual championship he'd lost. There was an episode of Prime Time Wrestling where that Jamison guy accidentally "stole" it, and he gave a performance that would make you think that his first-born child had been absconded with.

Christian is awesome and deserves all the wins he's got so far, but let's be honest here, in terms of who's better, DiBiase could *ahem* buy and sell his ass.

Just as an aside: what did the Million Dollar Belt secure with? Cause as a kid I always thought it was just a giant magnet painted gold.

Fixed.

Oh WTF @ Christian having almost as many votes as Ted? Are we surrounded by kids?

I voted Christian.

1) I'm a huge Peep, will be one til I die.

2) Never was a big DiBiase fan, always kind of thought he was a smidgen over rated by smarts.

3) I'm a huge Peep, oh yeah I said that one already, well then how about because I liked Christian's theme music of "CHRISTIAN! CHRISTIAN! AT LAST YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!" more than Million Dollar Man's.

(P.S. Jerry Lynn is a god. I honestly don't know which way I'd vote between Lynn and CC)

Dibiase is one of my all time favorites. He is just soooooo awesome. I also love christian but he lacks the Dibiase factor.

(Note: My vote may have been funded by Dibiase.)

You are on point, Mr. Manning. :y:

Also, anyone who voted for Christian should be banned from the wrestling forum.

I have seen very little of Ted, but always felt the character was very cool and the stable was just genius, but I have seen more of Christian and I feel that based on what I have seen more of will get the vote.

Maybe in the near future when I see more of Ted my vote would change, but for the time being it goes to Christian.

Dibiase big time.

Just tied it up for the Money Man.

Anyways, not only is Dibiase better in every way, just look at that suit in his picture!

If not for Dibiase's evil laugh alone. :D

Looks like you need some "old school sanity" injected into this debate.

C'mon, it's TED DIBIASE!!!! I'm a DiBiase mark from way back - along with The Rock probably my all-time favourite heels. Darth sums it up beautifully. :y:

Has to be an absolute sure thing for our HOF.

Another close one it is! Dunno how christian keeps surviving. :D

Christian.

Nothing against Ted DiBiase, but back in the day I wasn't too familiar with him, and I guess over time I just never paid much attention to him.

Wow it shouldn't even be close.

Christian, although entertaining, is not even in DiBiase's league.

Tied. Wow.

This is what hapens when you bamboozle the Afterlife. :p

Fuck you, TPWW. Fuck you in your dirty asshole.

Anybody who posted in this thread and voted for The Million Dollar Man and has not received a rep from me for it, let me know and you shall be rewarded for your non-retardery.

I voted for the obvious choice Thrilla

lol@the ted dibiase fans being shocked/abusive.

This is a travesty. Don't get me wrong, I like Christian, but there's is no way he should even be considered on the same level of The Million Dollar man. I'm gonna start a veterans faction here in the wrestling forum. We'll be more popular than The Kliq, and much older as well. :y:

I can't support this anti-Kliq sentiment, but other than that :y:

BRB, gonna go make some sock accounts to vote for DiBiase.

I am going to join ABT in buying DiBiase votes with rep. EVERYBODY'S GOT A PRICE.

Ted would be very proud of this effort.

I can't comprehend this poll.

Blows my mind.

If Christian wins here put him up against Andre and then when Andre wins he will sell his victory to Ted. I don't see Jack Tunney anywhere.

KoOS already picke dthe next opponent.

Is that the last one?

Yeah, it will be CCs last match.

He's had some stiff opponents.

Not like the guy KoOS picked.

This isn't over yet.

Post of the year candidate.

That guy ruined everything. Calling the '94 Rumble a draw? Come on.

When I was a kid, me and some friends always used to have Royal Rumbles. We would all pick a wrestler and fake fight each other until we got eliminated, then we would become a different wrestler and re-enter. This one kid would always enter the Rumble as Jack Tunney and threaten to fire us if we attacked him.

That kid was really ahead of his time booking like that.

Seriously, solid move.
