Let's find out once and for all who is the more popular wrestler on tpww.net.

El Dandy

I like Bret more, but HBK is better....

im a hbk kinda fan..but ill say this...this thread will not stay civil for very long

go fuck yourself

now its started:wave:

Now it's started.

Things I No Longer Care About:

Potsie
Ralph
Richie
Chuck
Chachi
Mr. C
Mrs. C
Joanie
Bret Hart
Bret Hart Fans

Shawn Michaels doesn't care about black people.

What are you talking about he was mad boys with Ahmed Johnson when they teamed at Survivor Series ;)

I'll give you 3 guesses at who I voted for.

hbk. never been a bret fan...

I will remind you all that HBK is already TPWW's favorite of the two after defeating Bret Hart in the first ever TPWW Dozens when Bret Hart failed to garner enough support to even put together a team. This poll is meaningless.

I like Bret more, and Bret is better...

This argument is out of control. It will never end. I am sick of it. I am a huge Bret Hart fan, but I just don't care about this debate anymore.

oh come on now:D...im not starting anything...i just know that this debate never ends well...the fact is this is one of these debates that will never be settled...its like yankee and red sox fans trying to debate on whos better...we could be here forever

The difference there is that Sox fans are quite delusional and actually think it's a debate. Meanwhile, checking their history, it doesnt compare, and they are generally the yanks bitches. Coming from an unbiased point of view.

Debating is not needed. It's just a poll to see who is more popular. How about we just vote, and post why we voted for who we voted for and leave it at that?

Yeah, only one side of that debate is delusional.

That is completely different, since both sides of the Hart/Michaels "debate" are staffed with little more than delusional marks choking down someone's cock.

good one.its a poll not a?lets not be morons and try and intimidate eveyone else? debate.just vote dont need to hear your philosophy on it.....:nono:

"It's like he's trying to talk to me, I know it!"

Needs a "shut up Zeeboe" option.

Zeeboe, I found your best friend and he misses you:

"I see stupid people..."

:lol: You should post that on my comment page. :y: I'm getting quite a little collection of pictures just like that on there.

Since these basically serve the same purpose as the BW threads, I will be closing them if they continue.

Also, the Bret vs Austin one has already occured, and the matchup of this thread has been done a million times.

Christ, how many times do we need to do this?

Well, I think some of us should be allowed to pick the polls too sometimes. But as the teenagers say, "whatever".

But has there ever been an actual poll to see who was the more popular?

Yes.

Alright, well, before I created the thread, I did a search to see if there was already a thread on the topic, and I found nothing. But if your last post is true, then as they say out on the streets..................."my bad."

And I just tipped it back in HBK's favour!

Sorry Dave, I tied it again.

I think we need a poll to determine whether or not people like having polls about HBK and Bret Hart every other week.

So far, I have 58 reasons why people don't mind them.

There are currently 535 pages in this section of the board. 195 of them have to be filled with this.

We should have a poll to see if there should be a poll about whether or not you like pole matches.

I just tipped the scales to 30-29 for HBK and I'm damn proud of it!

What a feud.

This is retarded it looks like someone is trying to get a fight going with this one. I will not vote because there both fucking prick there.

All I asked was for folks to vote. Not to fight. :)

Shawn easily.

Since there is no end date on this poll, HBK wins by the de facto law of 3 days on Better Wrestler. You may close this thread now.

I wanted to give everyone, including future posters a chance to vote.

I'm sure future posters will have many, many possible opportunities to express their opinion of Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels.

Why would you even make it open and private? The only way you could have made this poll more useless is if you enabled multiple choice.

I made it private just in case some posters wanted to avoid drama based on who they voted for, and I figure, even if someone is losing in the poll, they should always have a fair chance to make a comeback.

So what does it prove if there is no end to the poll? How do you decide which wrestler is TPWW's favorite?

Shouldn't this be HBK vs. Austin? Didn't the last poll kinda negate Bret?

No, you're confusing that with Better Wrestler. This is apparently the best of Bret Hart. Bret needs a win though, so coming next is Bret "The Hitman" Hart vs. "Iron" Mike Sharpe.

Zeeb's next poll will be "who screwed Bret?"

I count 34 faggots.

It's like it always was back in the day...the cheering section for Bret had a little more bass in their voice.

Cheering sounds a lot like whining to me.

35....35 screeching faggots!

I see what you've done there. You've posted a picture of the Count from Sesame Street to signify you counting the "faggots" who voted for HBK. But you've made a tactical error. In posting the a childhood television character, you've left yourself open for a barrage of jokes questioning your own mental capacity, possibly some that would go into the area of pedophilia. I don't know. Be on the look out for that.

You are over analyzing.

You just used a word containing "anal". That's a big no-no in these quote-editing parts.

This is totally pointless and proves absolutely nothing.

For all I know, there could have been 5 Hart fans vote for him along with 25 of their sock accounts.

Conversely, there could be 35 legitimate faggot votes for HBK.

But at least they will be spared the cold, hard drama of answering for their vote. It was more important to do it this way.

NOT THIS WAY!!!!! NOT THIS WAY!!!!

VINTAGE ZEEBOE!!!

Look at whatever the scoreboard says at the time you are looking at it for the current result.

Like damndest said, this is totally different. More like a look back at the 90's. :) And a chance for us to let out our inner-mark.

No, no. I was thinking The Undertaker vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Like pretend it's May of 97', Cold day in Hell match, who do you think is gonna win, on wwf.com kinda thing, but they already have the better wrestler thread, and you have to be choosen to pick the rastlers in these polls, so fear not.

Honestly, even though I do support this thread, I decided against making it at first, but Savior's whining got on my nerves, so I finally had enough, and made the thread. I was also thinking maybe I could do a U.S.A. vs. Canada poll since I'm kinda reliving 97' again. Or maybe Hart Foundation vs. DX, but that's pretty much the same poll we are on, so maybe Hart Foundation vs. the Nation instead. I dunno....yet......

God Zeeboe, will you shut the fuck up already?

It's called a mirror :p

Someone needs to pull the plug.

This poll was doomed to start for you Zeeboe. Bret hasn't been wrestling since about 2000. HBK is still going, he's fresh in some older people's minds and he's there for the new fans who weren't watching back in the day, which tpww has a ton of.

Had you done such a poll while both men were wrestling in the late 90's, obviously Hart would win.

:lol:

Incorrect.

No, that's correct.

You spelled "incorrect" wrong.

Zen, give up already...

...JUST LIKE BRET AT THE 1997 SURVIVOR SERIES!

Like I once said before, you're a mark. :lol:

.....Just wait. ;)

:lol:

Wrestling is fake, I know this.

However, there is a reason the greatest wrestling promoter of all time felt that both the Harts weren't good for business.

He did not feel that way. Classic case of twisting the facts. You really think if he could afford to keep Bret, he wouldnt? The only reason he was making any money back then was because of Bret and his feuds.
Shawn was never around to wrestle, he was always too busy crying or pretending to be crippled.

Them being the heels MAY have had something to do with them both losing that night.....

Except for the sabbatical Bret took.

Yes, Bret Hart and Owen were totally the heels in Montreal,Canada during a USA vs Canada storyline.

They rarely wrestled in Canada. I think Vince was honestly more worried about his average week-to-week audiences, and since the WWE was getting destoryed by WCW, he knew by ripping off ECW and creating characters like Austin and D-X HBK was his only choice to keep up. :yes:

Which Bret was very vocal in his opposition to. Therefore, Bret held back WWF from having the success it would have post-Bret.

Are you honestly trying to imply that Bret could stop Vince from going through with his edgier direction? If so, that says a lot about Vince.

BUT BRET WAS THE BIGGEST INTERNATIONAL DRAW IN TEH WORLDZ!

Well he was certainly one of them. Bigger than Michaels, whose popularity certainly faded the further north you went up on a map.
Watching the thousands cheer Sid on in MSG as he dethrones HBK is a beautiful thing to watch.

In late 1991, it was widely reported in the wrestling "insider" media of the time that reigning WWF Intercontinental champion Bret Hart had verbally agreed to a deal with WCW that included showing up on WCW TV with the I-C belt, mainly in retaliation to Ric Flair's NWA title shenanigans on WWF TV at the time.

The deal was nixed when it emerged that due to the terms of Bret's contract, he was not legally able to appear for WCW until his soon-to-expire WWF contract was up. WWF immediately had Bret drop the I-C title on a house show to the Mountie.

Eventually they were able to convince Bret to return and re-sign with the company, but the very fact that Bret had a verbal commitment to show up to WCW with the I-C belt goes to show just how "honorable" he is. Funny how he neglected to mention this turn of events in his autobiography, and not surprising that Vince McMahon should have concerns surrounding Bret defecting with the belt when a similar circumstance arises a few years later.

If by "obviously," you mean "I'm saying it only because I'm one of those rabid Canucktards," Yes.

Yeah, Michaels is still going. Yeah, he's fresh to those young and old. Yes, Hart is some washed up cripple only rabid Canadians give a shit about.

But really? Obviously Bret would win? Based on wishful thinking? Or maybe that the majority of TPWW's Kliq hadn't been born yet?

However, there is a reason the greatest wrestling promoter of all time felt that both the Harts weren't good for business.

LAWL.

LAWL

LAWL dustin

lulz

Please tell me who was a better wrestling promoter than Vince McMahon.

Not saying that story is or isn't true (I have no way of knowing), but just saying that it was "widely reported" is very far from being written in stone, especially in the wrestling industry in the early 90's.

Why did they have him drop the belt if it was just an unfounded rumor? Maybe Vince heard the rumors and thought they were true. I don't know, but a lot of things have been widely reported and not even close to true. Maybe Bret started the rumors himself to get more money on his next contract.

James, you're adorable. Don't ever change.

Bret politicked as much as the next guy in his day. If you look back through the years, he was quite regularly "considering a move to WCW" and placated by title wins, lucrative contracts and the ilk during his WWF run. Look at his very first World title win, which took place in the same month his contract expired/was renewed. At that point he was apparently firmly decided on a WCW move. Vince played the World title card, and Bret stayed.

He may bleat about "always being loyal" to the company, but simply working somewhere for a number of consecutive years doesn't neccessarily equate to loyalty. Bret's loyalty mainly laid with his wallet and his ego.

I'm sure you can find more creative people, people with better business skills, richer people, and people who are in one way better than Vince McMahon.
However, it doesn't take one thing to be a better promoter. Vince is overall better than anyone else in the past 50 years.
You want proof? TNA is the second biggest wrestling promotion in the USA. Let's compare TNA to WWE.
"what about WCW? Or ECW? Or World Class? Or AWA?"
Yea, all property of WWE now.
There is no better wrestling promoter, regardless of how business may look today, than Vincent Kennedy McMahon.

LOL 450.

Kane Knight, instead of LOL and LAWLing like a jackass please tell me who is a better wrestling promoter than Vince McMahon.

That's my point. He probably had no desire to go there, but he was just spreading the rumors to get title runs and more money. As far as I can see no one has any loyalty, despite what they say, in any form of business.
