screech 09-28-2009 11:28 PM

Loved Ted, but I am not as familiar with him.

Plus, I am a peep and cannot vote against Captain Charisma.

So Christian it is.

Lock Jaw 09-29-2009 01:01 AM

I am a huge Christian mark, and cannot bring myself to vote against him.

KYR 09-29-2009 01:06 AM

Dibiase.

I've espoused all the superlatives previously.

Supreme Olajuwon 09-29-2009 01:11 AM

I swear I love Dibiase, but this is the 3rd time in 4 rounds I've voted against him. I hope he's not mad at me.

ron the dial 09-29-2009 01:41 AM

i'm here to counteract you, supreme. but no this one was actually kind of difficult.

Dorkchop 09-29-2009 02:07 AM

Christian is my favorite wrestler ever.

Anybody Thrilla 09-29-2009 02:19 AM

DiBiase. Don't be silly, guys.

screech 09-29-2009 02:20 AM

Because I'm a huge mark for him, I'm going to rep everyone who votes for Christian and posts about it.

I have given out too much rep today though, so I owe Lock Jaw and Dorkchop.

Anybody Thrilla 09-29-2009 02:22 AM

I have higher rep than screech. You can have some for a discussed Dibiase vote IF THAT REALLY FUCKING MATTERS TO ANY OF YOU.

The Legacy 09-29-2009 03:29 AM


My name is Christian, the king of crunk.
I'm taking you to school Cena, and your gonna flunk.
I'm Captain Charisma, read them in weeps.
I'm gonna throw you out for all my peeps.
And just like Dracula, comes from Transylvania.
I'm winning the Rumble, and going on to WrestleMania

Voted for Christain

Ruien 09-29-2009 04:47 AM

Christian! I am a peep for life!!!

Rammsteinmad 09-29-2009 05:13 AM

Captain Charisma!

I doubt he'll win though.

NoRoolz 09-29-2009 07:35 AM

More Christian support hurrr

Fabien Barthez 09-29-2009 07:52 AM

This match-up has already been done.

The Jayman 09-29-2009 09:23 AM

It's all about Captain Charisma. The Instant Classic

Nicky Fives 09-29-2009 09:53 AM

I'm still surprised that DiBiase got by Edge and Rude, I voted against him both times and will continue to do so..... Christian in his closest competition (IMO) yet.....

Exactly...

Christian is great but nowhere near the level of Dibiase

This one is an easy one... gotta go with Dibiase definately

Supreme Olajuwon 09-29-2009 10:31 AM

Christian is more well rounded wrestler. Dibiase was great, but very one dimensional. His character never evolved, whereas Christian has gone from quiet goth lacky, to reeking of awesomeness, to Captain Charisma and the Instant Classic.

Plus Christian was involved in one of my favorite feuds of all time with the Hardys and the Dudleys.

Jannettyzilla 09-29-2009 10:35 AM

Christian, 'cause he's better on the kazoo.

The Gold Standard 09-29-2009 11:26 AM

If Ted is better than Edge, then he is better than Christian because Edge is better than Christian.

Gertner 09-29-2009 11:45 AM

DiBiase

Anybody Thrilla 09-29-2009 03:30 PM

I wish more people were over 15 years old here.

Supreme Olajuwon 09-29-2009 04:13 PM

If they are 15 then they'd have been only 5 or 6 during the E&C days which was why I voted for Christian, so suck it.

Hornicane 09-29-2009 04:16 PM

Christian, for no reason other than to tie it up.

Supreme Olajuwon 09-29-2009 04:17 PM

I think the perceived decline in the quality of wrestling from when we were kids to now makes some people automatically assume that the wrestlers from back then are of a higher quality than they are now. That may be true in a lot of cases, but this is not one of them.

Right, and how old would they have been for DiBiase? I was a huge Ultimate Warrior mark at 5 or 6, so you suck it, bitch.

Anybody Thrilla 09-29-2009 04:32 PM

It's the fucking Million Dollar Man.

I would argue that in the era or part of the era that Dibiase wrestled, wrestlers didn't need to be multi-dimensional since their characters would last longer before needing to be switched or repackaged if they were good enough.

Christian is one of my favorite wrestlers but Dibiase's heel character is too strong to ignore in this case. Then again a few Benjamins were enough to convince me to vote for Dibiase.

Supreme Olajuwon 09-29-2009 04:40 PM

Very true, but if you look at Dibiase during the nWo days when he didn't have the Million Dollar Man gimmick, it just wasn't the same. He didn't draw your attention. Of course that's not all his fault, but it's reason enough for me to say that I prefer Christian.

So all that means is you have poor taste. Suck it thrice.

IRodC 09-29-2009 05:11 PM

This is the hardest choice ever, as a peep is difficult for me to vote against christian but I voted for dibiase. See you guys later im gonna go out in my brand new hummer limo

So what?

Supreme Olajuwon 09-29-2009 06:22 PM

We've also had Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Jericho twice and each guy won once. Things change.

Triple A 09-29-2009 06:27 PM

Christian was always extremely boring to me. He was probably a way better wrestler (DiBiase is the worst wrestler in WrestleMania for NES) but DiBiase = way way way more entertaining. Haven't seen Christian "recently" but I don't see how he could have gotten "more entertaining" than the Edge & Christian days.

Same here, Ultimate Warrior was my childhood favorite.

Time for a 25+ year old fans vs people who missed out on the greatest era of "wrasslin" feud. :p - just kidding.

Seriously though, shouldn't even be a contest, Christian might have grown up watching the greats, was at WM6 in the crowd, but he will never be as memorable and great in the pages of history as the Million Dollar Man.

CWK 09-29-2009 07:41 PM

You should be more specific in your poll, it just says Ted Dibiase so we may not be clear on which one, the MDM or the Ted Dibiase currently wrestling. I voted for Christian thinking it was the younger Dibiase against him.

But the MDM wins hands down, one of the best heels and one of the best at his gimmick I've ever seen. Would have been a great antagonist tag team with him and JBL.

You'd think the picture would let you know it was the Million Dollar Man.

When I click on the thread, it just shows the poll only no pictures or user replies, once I vote, then the pictures show up with user replies. Weird.

That is silly.

Find me a better heel promo during this era.

:yes:

Probably one of the best promos a heel has ever done since the victim was a kid and got the crowd involved in cheering at the 1st try and then booing once they realized 2nd try was rigged. It was mean but worked better than had it been a man or a teen bouncing the ball since people always like when kids do something good.

CSL 09-29-2009 08:27 PM

So Christian is better than Edge, Ted DiBiase and Rick Rude?

Supreme Olajuwon 09-29-2009 08:29 PM

And Doink. Don't forget Doink.

I feel like a douche for voting Christian, but some of my favorite memories from the Attitude era was due in part to Christian and the TLC match.

Christian, I'm not really sure why other than I've seen a lot more of him and he seems to be much better in the ring

Jannettyzilla 09-30-2009 02:50 AM

That promo's good, but picking on a kid doesn't make you a wrestler, it makes you an uncle. And they couldn't call him Uncle Ted, 'cause that was taken.

So really, that vid just convinced me they missed out on his full potential.

Fabien Barthez 09-30-2009 09:29 AM

I wouldn't let it get to you, Anybody Thrilla. Bush Jr got voted for a second term, Tony Blair got voted for a 3rd! Proves people can be vastly incorrect in large quantities.

Isnt this the one with Rob Van Dam? :shifty: Seriously though, Ted was a much better character and in my opinion a better wrestler in general.

Ted Dibiase gets my vote here.

Ermaximus 10-01-2009 03:46 PM

As much as I respect MDM and followed him as a kid, I gotta give the vote to Christian. He's an amazing talent, but of course WWE uses him on a show that's seen as the "C show," even though ECW is better in 1 hour than Raw is in 2. One day Christian will be back on Smackdown. One day!
