Tres dios.

Lying, cheating, stealing, vs. trust me.

Eddie vs Randy the Ram?? interesting.

bumpin this for now

Jake Roberts was just a feud maker. Everything he was involved in instantly became interesting. He worked well as a heel or a face (as did Eddie, I suppose)...but maybe it's just the old school in me that had no problem voting for Jake Roberts here.

Eddie wins easily for me. Was always one of my favourites, can't find a single fault with him.

No question Eddie had a greater career, but I'm an admitted Jake mark so he gets my vote. When you talk about psychology and mic work Jake goes at or near the top of the list. And his work in the ring was also superb, I think people forget that.

i'm just not and eddie mark, i know he was great and everything, but i just never got really excited about him or anything, jake gets it

Jake doesn't come close. There's no areas that Eddie is worse than Jake in that pertain to wrestling even loosely.

Jake

Someone get some really great Jake Roberts videos in here. Is that legal? Or do we have to give Eddie an equal number of videos? Because I want to see how wrong I was/am.

You can post or discuss whatever you want as long as it's on the topic of the matchup, or one of the two wrestlers in question.

Jake gets my vote. Probably my favorite heel of all time.

Interesting stuff.

Best WWF wrestler never to hold a title. Jake

One of the best examples of wasted potnetial. But man could he talk some shit and back it up. DDT!!!!! DDT!!!!!! Jake all the way I bet this one will be neck and neck.

Jake the fuckin Snake. A staple in the WWF in the early 90's

Voted for Eddie, but I hope Jake wins. But ya, Eddie carried Smackdown!, Jake never had to carry anything nor could he.

Uncle Eddie was great, but Jake wins this based on promo / mic work alone.

Gotta love the good old days. :y:

Eddie over the jobber in this one...

all tied up baby

Hot match, brilliant match Jerry

Eddie couldn't play mind games like Jake could though...... His psychology in the ring was just awesome.

I've always been of the opinion that Jake is (was) one of the greatest minds in the business. His promos are second to none, and when he hit the DDT, everyone knew it meant something.

I could go off on a tangent about how the DDT is overused in the modern era, but that's another discussion.

Now what kind of stupid fucking logic is this?

The mark in me wants Jake to win, but I feel like Eddie was the better wrestler. Stupid logic? Naw, maybe you should ask politely before insulting.

jake the snake, no question. he was one of the first heels that i liked growing up. something about the presence that he brought to the screen made you pay attention. he demanded it. no knock to eddie here, but jake roberts is the fucking man, no doubt.

Logic has nothing to do with these threads. If you want Jake to win, vote for Jake. It doesn't get much more simple than that. There would be absolutely no consequences for you voting for Jake.

Probably one of the toughest ones, slightly went with Eddie

Eddie Guerrero.

Never really cared for Jake 'The Snake' Roberts. Just an interesting note that I've trained with Jake and wrestled on the same show as him before BUUUUUUUT I think by now most indy wrestlers have.

Also, Eddie Guerrero is just a lot better and more fun to watch IMO.

I loved both guys. Jake was THE guy who started the intense quiet promos. Don't have to yell to get his point across, and it drew you in. Fuck, he gave us the DDT.

But there is something about Eddie that made me vote for him.

Never a big fan of Jake, so Eddie gets my vote

in a vote like thiis, i got to go with the classics, Jake by a long way

So your telling me how to play a game with no rules? If I think someone is the better wrestler, I will vote for them. You play your way, I will play mine.

Nah, the idea is too vote for who you think is better, while it's acceptable to vote for markish reasons it isn't the idea.

I'd vote for Jake out of spite, but the fact is I don't have to. Jake was one of the best (if not THE best) psychological workers of his time. I really feel like he was further up the ladder in the way he worked than Eddie was in the way he worked.

Also, he's definitely a far better drunk and druggie than Eddie was... since, you know... still alive an all.

Also, Jake was one of the first guys to successfully work heelishly while still solidly in a face role.

:y:

28-27 Eddy, wow.

Tied up, damn.

who saw this coming? I mean there's a ton of socks, er people who like Roberts/hate Guerrero

Eddie was better in the ring, but they were just about equal on the mic. This time I'm going with Guerrero.

Could Jake pull an upset?

Jake shades it for me. I tend to think him of him as the definitive wrestler when talking about psychology in and out of the ring. Looking back you could say he was maybe slightly ahead of his time. Eddie not far off in this match up but I'd just consider Jake slightly more deserving.

31-31. Mother fucker

Destor I take back what I said about your booking skills. I wish we could do this with like computer like they did with Marciano and Ali. That would be definitely cool.

Where can I find two Jake Roberts supporters?

wow

You won't there are way to many Eddie marks on here that are afraind to vote against there lord and savior

How much time is left?

I've never hated a wrestler quite like I have Jake "The Snake" Roberts. I loved Eddie, but I can say that about a lot of guys. I can't say I hated another heel nearly as much as I hated "The Snake." He gets my vote.. probably for making me spaz out as a kid.

still tied wow

He is ahead by one this is going to get intense.

I just voted Jake. Put him up 36-35.........

:shifty:

Eddie. Only seen one Jake match. It was at WM against Rick Martel, blindfold match.

Eddie wins.

second one point victory for Eddie. These are getting too close to call!

yeah

I'd say the most pivotal vote was that of the Strawman.

:cool:

Jake, your time is running out.

By one point again goddammit

The only sock that voted is Strawman btw. Every other vote is legit.

Just FYI.

Hmm

That makes this a tie.

:shifty:

We've allowed sock voting in the past. ARE WE MAKING UP RULES HERE NOW?!

That vote does not count. sorry

wait wait, let's get Bret Hart's opinion on this catastrophe

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HmIeybosyJo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HmIeybosyJo&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

yikes, I think we really need a recount here

LOL!!!!

That is great

I agree with Bret on this one, it's a conspiracy! Jake won, we all know it! :y:

Uncle Eddie can go feud with Chavo and Pepe.

Who is Strawman?

Sock...I know who's but I wont say at this time.

Must be Narc, seriously ffs, what a waste of time.

EDDIE STEALS VICTORY WITH THE AIDE OF THE STRAWMAN!

If I ever see Strawman, I will DDT him and then throw him into a pit of snakes. Cock.

Well, I hear that the Strawman is good friends with KK so I'd take it up with him if you want to get to the Strawman.

Are you saying that this is the end of Better Wrestler?

I believe Strawman's vote should be stricken from the record forever and this should be resolved via some sort of internet coin flip.

Maybe the vote of a former TPWW legend (stima34) should resolve this.

Strawman is def not the only sock who voted in there. SO WHATEVER NARC.

Fuck, I read the thread but forgot to vote for Jake. If some sad wankers really are voting twice, then it is a big shame to everyone who gives a paragraph to explain themselves. What a cunt.

In the event of a tie, the defending champion advances anyways

Who is next Destor?

Why don't you ask me?

Yeah Jerry is running this round.

Well Jeri who is next

Not telling.

Ok
