If you're good enough to throw Jannetty through a window, you're better than Bret.

Corporate CockSnogger 10-16-2009 06:01 PM

Bret had tremendous technical ability. But HBK has everything. Michaels without a doubt for me.

BigDaddyCool 10-16-2009 06:09 PM

HBK is the greatest of all time.[/thread]

Supreme Olajuwon 10-16-2009 06:10 PM

If I'm ranking my favorite wrestlers of all time, these two are probably #2 and #3 on the list. Now I've just got to figure out who goes in what spot.

CWK 10-16-2009 06:13 PM

Bret Hart, easily.

Swiss Ultimate 10-16-2009 06:13 PM

HBK remained popular in the WWE throughout the Attitude Era he was not a part of.

Fabien Barthez 10-16-2009 06:21 PM

Bret for me. I think until that final day for Vince, he was the model professional in all departments regarding the business. He was the perfect blend of old school and new school.

HBK is great, but I personally think he is terrible at the emotive stuff he's done, his whole persona is supposed to resemble a parallel to his real life, but he just overacts every facial expression. I think he is one of the worst 'sellers' to have achieved his kind of success.... He has had, and still does have amazing matches, but he isn't as often the ring genius he is made out to be.

Fabien Barthez 10-16-2009 06:23 PM

Good work with the pics Supreme Olajuwon. Same match, same move. :y:

Verbose Minch 10-16-2009 06:35 PM

When I look at better wrestler, I look at better wrestling, not better entertainer. Thus I voted Bret. Shawn is one of the greats, so is Bret. In my eyes, they're equal. However, I'm a Bret Mark. :P

Zen v.W.o. 10-16-2009 06:47 PM

If I'm going to be completely honest here, it has to be Bret.

He's just the best there ever will be.

CSL 10-16-2009 07:56 PM

Closer than I thought it would be so far

Nicky Fives 10-16-2009 07:57 PM

IMO as of now Bret it better, but if HBK stays active for a couple more years and still can produce great matches, my mind will change..... until then, Bret still wins by a nose

Ruien 10-16-2009 08:11 PM

Bret by a large margin. I love Shawn, but he always had the kliq. Bret made it to the top by being the best.

Ermaximus 10-16-2009 08:13 PM

Gotta go with.....HBK.

Gertner 10-16-2009 08:14 PM

HBK. not even close. Will Bret cry again about having to job to HBK again?

Ermaximus 10-16-2009 08:20 PM

Well, technically it'd be legit and not a screwjob this time around right? Or would it???

Xero 10-16-2009 08:33 PM

lol, it'd be pretty hilarious if an admin messed with the votes.

Just as soon as Shawn cries about jobbing to Austin.

You're an idiot, both people have refused to job, that point is irrevelant. I know you're trying to be a troll, but at least be a good one.

FourFifty 10-16-2009 08:54 PM

I think if Bret Hart was able to wrestle longer than I would have my doubts between HBK and Bret Hart... However, due to a cruel fate Bret Hart's career was cut short. Ain't that a kick in the head.

Typical Supreme Olajuwon, giving in to the expected Bret vs. HBK hall of fame round just to satisfy all of these gelatinous tapeworms... these mesomorphic hypocrits... sycophants... other big words...

Nah, but for real, this is a tough one. One part of me wants to vote for Bret just to get him into the Hall of Fame, but the other half has a real issue voting against HBK.

I need time to think.

HeartBreakMan2k 10-16-2009 10:52 PM

Shawn Michaels. As good as Bret Hart was, Shawn was better at everything except for submission holds. Way more versatile, better on the mic, relevant for longer, and just out right way more entertaining.

Supreme Olajuwon 10-16-2009 11:58 PM

Bret was good. HBK is a candidate for the best ever. Easy decision.

didn't we do this matchup already? HBK won before and will win again.

Loose Cannon 10-17-2009 12:30 AM

nevermind, I think we just did it in some TPWW poll before.

Supreme Olajuwon 10-17-2009 12:31 AM

Why don't you check the Better Wrestler History you uneducated fuck

Nark Order 10-17-2009 12:33 AM

Never before has this happened. Let's use this poll to end the debate once and for all ,I say. ..... Unless Bret wins.

Zen v.W.o. 10-17-2009 01:21 AM

A lot of lil faggots in here. Cheering on the girly man, even if he does suck(cock)

Jannettyzilla 10-17-2009 02:30 AM

Next poll should be "Who bitches more: Bret Hart or Bret Hart Marks?"

The only person on here that perpetuates that is Zen because he posts in zero threads besides Bret related ones. Other than that, it's just HBK fans bringing it up, then Bret fans defending him.

The Mackem 10-17-2009 05:38 AM

Made each other, just goes down to personal preference for me and that's Bret.

Fair enough. I shouldn't bite on that much immaturity, but it was just so far out there that it became too easy. *insert mother joke here*

4 knuckles up 10-17-2009 10:20 AM

From what I've seen/read of both, I like Bret as a person more than I do Shawn. In ring, I'd give the edge to HBK, though he isn't a better technician then Bret, and he has a bad habbit of over-selling.

On the mic, he's also better. He's far from the best, but is still better than Bret. The poll deserves to be closer than it is, but HBK wins it for me.

Rammsteinmad 10-17-2009 11:39 AM

Shawn Michaels.

The Gold Standard 10-17-2009 01:32 PM

Bret, but I am not one of those haters of Shawn. Shawn and Bret are just as good as each other. When I started watching wrestling, Bret Hart was the main guy and I became a huge fan of him, that is why I voted for him.

Tazz Dan 10-17-2009 07:15 PM

Bret. But only just. Kudos for this match-up though Supreme. Shawn deserves to be in the HOF and should go through from here. Bret will get in next time. :y:

ron the dial 10-17-2009 07:21 PM

shawn michaels. entertains me in every aspect of professional wrestling. i'd be hard pressed to put anybody over him.

Anybody Thrilla 10-18-2009 03:51 PM

I voted this one based on who had the better sunglasses. Bret wins.

Bret is also a candidate for the best ever, if you guys didn't notice.

Nark Order 10-18-2009 06:06 PM

Opinion vs Opinion.

Shawn has a much more extensive body of work and completely blows Bret out of the water in terms of showmanship and mic skills, IMO.

Supreme Olajuwon 10-18-2009 09:21 PM

In the end I voted for Shawn. I think the only reason it took me so long to decide is because I find Michaels' apologists so very annoying. But if just comparing the two wrestlers side by side it has to be Shawn for me.

I understand that it's a matter of opinion. The way you originally worded it, however, implied that Shawn is DEFINITELY a candidate for one of the best ever and Bret was simply 'good'. Even if you don't feel Bret is one of the best, you'd be a bit silly not to think that he'd be a CANDIDATE for best ever to a lot of people.

Yeah, I actually think that. I never said anything about acknowledging what anybody else thinks. I'm sure many people think that he's right up there with the likes of Shawn, I do not though. I think he's been immortalized by his fans far past what his actual ability was. Do I think he was a great professional wrestler? Yes, I really do. But he's no Shawn Michaels to me.

Once again, not saying that nobody thinks he's one of the best ever, I just don't.

Supreme Olajuwon 10-19-2009 12:21 AM

Of course given your past posts on the matter, Narc, you'll forgive me if I think that you're completely full of shit and simply don't like Bret for reasons outside of his ring performance.

Nark Order 10-19-2009 01:08 AM

I don't like him outside of in-ring performance but it's not that simple. I don't really like Shawn outside of his in-ring performance either, he was the ultimate premadonna asshole. If I'm to be objective here, I still think Shawn is a better performer in almost every facet. Bret was a great technician and the average fan could relate to him. Shawn was larger than life. Everything he did was extravagant and was executed perfectly almost every time. To me Shawn wins this.

CWK 10-19-2009 04:53 AM

I can't believe HBK is winning by this much, I thought the voting would be closer than this.

The Mackem 10-19-2009 07:21 AM

It was 50/50ish at the time of Montreal. Bret hasn't wrestled since 2000, Michaels is still an active wrestler. It doesn't surprise me that Michaels has more fans

The Jayman 10-19-2009 08:31 AM

Had to go with the Showstopper. He has the all around package. Charisma/technical skills/high flying.

AJHayes 10-19-2009 03:36 PM

Hard to believe an unprofessional, egotistical, hypocrite is winning out over a real wrestler.

CSL 10-19-2009 03:40 PM

Yeah, god damn that fake wrestler Shawn Michaels! That's not even his real name you know!

Zen v.W.o. 10-19-2009 05:55 PM

Proving once again how much of a fag HBK is, he chose the name Shawn Michaels because of the porn star Sean Michaels. True story.

Too bad Sean Michaels started in 89, after Michaels was using the name. :roll:
