Who is the man?
 
OK, I'm going to get shot for making people choose, but whom do you like, The Rock or Jericho?

I'm going with Jericho, simply because he's able to get such amazing pops and remain so popular even after his burial some time ago. He outclasses Rocky in terms of wrestling ability, but when it comes to mic skills, its a dead heat for me. Plus, Rock's doing movies, but Jericho's remained true to the fans.

Of course, I love the Rock too.

On the mic - Rock farting>Jericho's entire arsenal

Jericho rules though.

Boondock Saint 04-14-2004 03:41 PM

I like both. Voted for Rocky though

MVP 04-14-2004 07:19 PM

WTF

AS IF YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE BETWEEN THOSE TWO! :rant:

Kane Knight 04-14-2004 07:44 PM

It was a tie until I voted Jericho. Pretty much reflects my feelings. Rocky is good, Jericho's just a it better.

OssMan 04-14-2004 07:49 PM

You're the man now dog!

loopydate 04-14-2004 07:59 PM

Jericho.

Shaggy 04-14-2004 08:00 PM

Jericho all the way. Jericho is better at everything Rock does. He is a better person on the mic as well as in the ring.

Rock is the greatest ever on the mic. Die. :o

Anybody Thrilla 04-14-2004 09:41 PM

I really don't like Jericho as a face, but he's still the man. After his cruiserweight title run in WCW, I can't help but mark out every time I see him, hoping he walks to the ring with a "CONSPIRACY VICTIM" sign again one day.

ColdwaVer 04-14-2004 10:06 PM

I said Jericho. Rock may be just a bit above him in the mic skills department, but he has gotten to where he is with vastly more significant pushes, title runs, and nobody standing in his way. Jericho on the other hand made himself a name from the bottom of WCW's barrel, and has remained hugely popular in WWE in spite of being kept largely out of the main event scene and having minimal significant title runs and a bitch world title reign.

Kane Knight 04-14-2004 10:10 PM

Where's the poll option for Godberg? :?:

Draven 04-14-2004 11:32 PM

and where is the option for Ric Flair?

Sensei Of Mattitude 04-14-2004 11:52 PM

Ok. I love ROCKY. Rock is the man. He is an ambassador to the sport, charismatic as shit, amazing worker, etc.

Jericho is good on the mic, but he is already boring calling Trish the same stuff that he called Steph. I like Jericho's ring skills better.

I like Jericho face and heel.

I LOVE HollyRock (WrestleMania 19) but am not a huge fan of face Rock.

When it comes down to it..... I'll say Rocky because he is American. (LOL) Rocky is better.

Kane Knight 04-15-2004 12:24 AM

Further, where's sHAFT?

don't you know anything? Jericho's from New York!

big_bluto 04-15-2004 12:33 AM

In a straight comparison between the two, I'd have to go with the Rock.
If Jericho had the opportunities that the Rock had then it'd be a different kettle of fish.

There ain't nobody who can leg wobble like the rock since Elvis ate his last burger!

Rock Bottom 04-15-2004 12:35 AM

I voted for The Rock because he shakes his leg around before he stomps on people. :y:

CYCLOPTERSAURUS 04-15-2004 01:15 AM

I only like Rock when he's heel, and even then I don't enjoy his ring style. Jericho however, is awesome all the time (though MUCH better as heel), and I like his in-ring work.

KillerWolf 04-15-2004 01:22 AM

STEINER is the man :shifty:

John la Rock 04-15-2004 02:59 AM

Both Very good and this is extremely hard to pick

I went with Rock because he's better at promos

Jericho's better at promos, I don't think so. Maybe in the ring, and that's a big maybe

How is it a big maybe that Jericho is a better wrestler than the Rock. I didn't think that was even up for debate. The Rock is a huge star, and is immensely talented. But as far as wrestling goes, Jericho could wrestle circles around him.

The Ravishing One 04-15-2004 11:55 AM

The Rock. The Hollywood Rock gimmick ruled

Fryza 04-15-2004 02:08 PM

Raven

DaveBrawl 04-15-2004 02:18 PM

Big Boss Man, but since he is so far above the rest and isn't on the poll, I'll say the Rock.

John la Rock 04-15-2004 02:34 PM

WTF Rock is only at 16 %?

What is wrong with you people :mad:

Kane Knight 04-15-2004 03:38 PM

The Rock has been stopped and dropped.

Moongoose Mcqueen 04-15-2004 04:00 PM

If WWE knew what they were doing, Jericho would be at the same level as the Rock, because in all aspects hes there. Jericho and Rock stack up well against eachother. I don't know why everyone thinks Jericho is better as a heel, I tend to think the opposite, but hes great either way. I just hope they give him the title.
I think The Rock (heel) vs. Jericho (face) would be an ideal fued. I don't think any arena could hold the talent and charisma going into one fued.

Cruiserweight 3:16 04-15-2004 07:02 PM

I'd have to go with Y2J. Nuff said

Vega 04-15-2004 07:10 PM

I'll vote for Rock just to even up the poll.

Blue Demon 04-15-2004 07:11 PM

I went with Jericho. he's the man

I just feel the need to add something. That's because Jericho isn't going to be getting many move script phonecalls this year. Look at Fozzy. And it's kind of inaccurate to imply that The Rock isn't loyal to his fans because he's doing a huge line of movies. Alot of guys wouldn't even attempt to return at all if they had as much success in their transition of wrestler/actor phase.

Why people are saying Jericho is anywhere close to The Rock on the mic is beyond me, but everyone has different tastes I suppose.

As far as the large pops, he has gotten some incredible pops considering that he has been shuffled through the mid-card. However, to imply that it has any merit over The Rock would be foolish, considering that at one point people would chant, "DIE, ROCKY, DIE!"

I mean, I am not bitching at people who voted Jericho, don't get me wrong, the poll was who you loved more, or who you think is the man. And it's indeed a hairsplitting decision for some. But to The Rock's credit, some of those reasons are just not correct.
