Easy choice, Angle is (or was) the complete package.

whiteyford 08-17-2012 02:38 AM

Enjoyed Foley more overall, especially his ECW run.

#1-norm-fan 08-17-2012 03:04 AM

Damn. Had to go with Angle because he was, as Road Warrior said, the complete package. But Foley, despite not exactly being the physical prototype of a wrestler, "got it". He just knew how to entertain and mastered the psychology behind a wrestling promo. Angle was just too well rounded though.

Keith 08-17-2012 03:15 AM

Kurt Angle could (and still does, just in TNA) do it all.

Kane Knight 08-17-2012 03:19 AM

Love Foley but had to vote Angle.

KaosDarksol 08-17-2012 03:25 AM

Kurt is the easy choice here nothing against foley but angle is definitely the better wrestler out of the two

RiX1024 08-17-2012 05:31 AM

Angle by far

Rammsteinmad 08-17-2012 06:14 AM

I voted for Angle. It's true! It's true!

Ruien 08-17-2012 07:29 AM

Poor whiteyfore and Mick Foley.

Joesgonnakillyou 08-17-2012 07:43 AM

I love Mick Foley, he's created some of my favourite moments in wresting. As a performer in the ring he's underrated, he did some of the best promo's ever, he made HHH and The Rock's careers and is a likeable and unselfish performer. Truly one of the greats.

I voted Angle though. It was heartbreaking

Think everyone I've voted for has lost, barring Austin/Taker:'(

Foley is one of the best storytellers in the history of the business.

Angle is one of the best everything in the history of the business.

XCaliber 08-17-2012 12:25 PM

Have to go with Angle even though I like Foley a lot but Kurt had more of his share of matches that were memorable that was the difference maker for me.

irishmaster 08-17-2012 01:18 PM

Love Foley so guess am fallin in line with everybody else here and voting Angle. On the mic n for all the 'Oh - my - feckin god moments' but Angle had some of those aswell and was by far n away much better wrestler

Rock Bottom 08-17-2012 04:01 PM

Kurt Angle by a long, long way.

You will never see someone as well-rounded as Angle. Ever. As far as mic ability, personality, ring work, accomplishments, everything combined into an "overall" rating, I think Kurt Angle is the best wrestler. I guess you could make comparisons between him and Michaels, but Michaels was at it for longer. They are on the same level to me.

Not taking much away from Mick Foley. He has some unique things on his resume that are hard to duplicate and will probably never be topped.

Anybody Thrilla 08-17-2012 04:07 PM

Kurt Angle might be the greatest of all time. There, I said it.

TheFallenOneX 08-17-2012 04:20 PM

Angle is the definition of If I'm not team captain I'm gonna pick up my ball and go home. I have never been impressed by him. He might have the better skills but I'm gonna go with Foley

I always feel and say that Shawn Michaels is the GOAT, but I'll be honest, when I think about all Kurt Angle has done, his great ability in the ring and on the mic (especially his WWE days), I kinda think that he just might be the GOAT.

Cool King 08-17-2012 04:50 PM

Nothing against Foley, I like him too, but Angle easily wins this one for me.

There aren't a lot of people who would make a better captain than Angle. Definitely not Foley, for the sake of this particular discussion.

As a wrestling fan, though...you've really never been impressed by Kurt Angle? Have you not seen much of his work, or what? The man's a legend. Foley is quite charismatic and a hell of a risk taker, but Kurt Angle is better than him at literally everything besides a promo...and he's not even that far off there.

Emperor Smeat 08-17-2012 05:25 PM

Tough choice but barely went with Foley over Angle.

Both had almost completely different styles with Angle more technical-based and Foley more hardcore-based. Felt Angle was a lot better in terms of ring skills while Foley was better in terms of characters.

Both were great with promos but felt Foley was a bit better overall in regards to telling a story. Both also had some really amazing feuds and moments with Foley's having a bit more of a larger significance than Angle's in the end.

Skippord 08-17-2012 05:40 PM

I went Mick, love that dude

MVP 08-17-2012 05:43 PM

Kurt Angle is the <s>total</s> complete package. Not a damn thing against Mick Foley though.

You just manned up.

THAT TOOK BALLS

and I agree.

screech 08-18-2012 12:07 AM

Angle is amazing, but Foley is one of my all-time favorites. Voted with my heart on this one.

I think we're doing this wrong. We're supposed to vote for Foley, blinded by fond memories and fanboyism, then cry foul, cry sour grapes, and whine at the people on the winning side of the poll.

At least, that's what I've gathered from the last few of these.

No, I think that distinction belongs to Austin.

Indifferent Clox 08-18-2012 10:13 AM

One of my favorite of all time.

Hogan might fit, too.

True.

MoFo 08-18-2012 11:46 AM

Clearly Angle.

He doesn't have to nearly kill himself by jumping off shit head first to get a reaction.

Supreme Olajuwon 08-18-2012 01:06 PM

If memory serves me, Kurt is actually quite skilled at the hardcore and OMG spots.

Supreme Olajuwon 08-18-2012 01:13 PM

I love Mick Foley. I've never rooted for anyone harder than I've rooted for Mick Foley. Foley winning the world title on Raw is my all time favorite wrestling moment.

But Kurt Angle is so freaking good at everything. He's got a legit claim to being one of the 5-10 best wrestlers ever. Gotta vote for him.

But yeah, Angle is Awesome. I would maim someone for him to return to WWE. One of my favs of all time. Was just so good at everything he did.

It seems everyone conveniently skipped two words when reading this post.

whiteyford 08-18-2012 06:48 PM

In fairness neither did Foley.

itsmeJD 08-18-2012 06:49 PM

Ehh but Foley wasn't over for shit until he started doing these things.
