Better Wrestler #7
 
Jericho did it. But this is point the point where NO wrestler has made it beyond so far. This is the half way point to the Better Wrestler Hall of Fame. RVD fell to Perfect and Perfect to Jericho. Will Jericho fall hear as well? It's up to TPWW. Today's match:

VS

By request I went with Regal. Dunno how he'll fair, but this thing has surprised on all most every occasion so far. Lets see how this plays out, shall we? Three day as usual and don't be afraid to post you suggestions for the next challenger.

History:

RVD vs CM Punk (24-19-2)
RVD vs Santino Marella (36-4)
RVD vs Mr. Perfect (15-23-1)
Mr. Perfect vs Tully Blanchard (30-5-1)
Mr. Perfect vs Chris Jericho (15-23-3)
Chris Jericho vs Brock Lesnar (34-10)

Wow just goes to show how overrated Jericho really is.

The Optimist 03-09-2008 09:33 PM

Or underrated/hated Brock Lesnar is.

Destor 03-09-2008 09:33 PM

There is really no competition here. While Regal is an OUTSTANDING talent he just can not touch Jericho. In his WCW days I prefer Regal as a wrestler to Jericho and I preferred Jericho as a personality. Now it's vice versa. But I think Jericho's personality in WCW was superior to Regal WWE persona. On the other hand I prefer Regals WCW wrestling to anything Jericho has ever done in the ring. Which kinda cancels it all out. So for me it comes down to accomplishments and connection with the crowd, both of which have to go to Jericho.

Destor 03-09-2008 09:34 PM

For the record this is the first time I voted for Jericho, which statistically means he will loose.

The Optimist 03-09-2008 09:35 PM

I picked Draw. Up until this point, I've enjoyed them completely totally equally.

For note's sake: nothing would make me happier than to have Regal get a world title push.

I think this is more to the heart of the matter.

Chris Jericho, internet darling, vs. Brock Lesnar, who gets the internet's collective panties in a twist.

Who's going to win, and by how much?

Though to be fair, I also voted Jericho, and I think the people bitching about Brock are morons. It wasn't exactly an easy choice, but the longevity of Jericho vs. the short career of Brock leaves a lot of of points in Jericho's corner, and I don't think that can be dismissed, either. Jericho's had a full career, Brock didn't.

Now Regal, I like Regal, but I'm still going to vote Jericho. Do I think Jericho is flawless, a perfect specimen? No, but I was a pretty big fan of him going back to the earliest time I can remember him. Do I think Regal is bad? No, Regal can be a trememndous character, and is a solid wrestler in a style that's overlooked often enough.

However, this comes down to a man I'm prone to appreciate versus one I'm prone to enjoy, and so it's going to go for the latter every time. In this case, Jericho wins. Though I've got to admit, one of the things I have consistently loved about Raw on the few occasions I've seen it is GM/Commissioner/Whatever Regal.

KYR 03-09-2008 11:12 PM

I am really struggling with this one. Toughest one so far. Could go either way atm - although looking at that photo of Jericho you posted just makes me want to belt the life out him. :mad:

Determined not to vote draw.

Destor 03-09-2008 11:15 PM

there's nothing wrong with a draw.

KYR 03-09-2008 11:18 PM

Hang on a minute! Just looked at the results. No one's voted for Regal yet??????

No. No. NO!! That's hardly indicative of how close these two are (IMO).

That settles it - Regal it is! (Or should I go Jericho?)

Innovator 03-09-2008 11:34 PM

Jericho by a cup of tea

D Mac 03-10-2008 12:32 AM

I went with Regal. It was just my first instinct.

Impact! 03-10-2008 12:44 AM

Jericho has always been one of my favourites, so gotta go with him

Good Ol JG 03-10-2008 01:09 AM

I've always had a soft spot for Regal, so it's really hard to vote against him, especially seeing how he's losing by such a high margin. But, to be fair about it, Jericho is clearly the winner here. His accomplishments dwarf Regal's, I man really there's not much of a comparison there. I would give the nod to Regal as far just a straight up better wrestler, and they're on par as characters IMO, but Jericho has the accomplishments that Regal doesn't. I would cream my pants if Regal ever got a real solid ME push, though.

Dorkchop 03-10-2008 01:35 AM

As amazing as Regal is, in the ring and on the mic, once again I gotta vote for Jericho. I just find him more entertaining in the ring. Jericho's not perfect, but he's damn entertaining. I know what Regal is capable of, but he's barely had a chance to showcase any of his talent in a WWF/E ring. He's had some great matches, but WWE have never really given him a big time feud (I don't think). It's such a shame. Regal isn't the kind of guy you say "OH MY GOD I HAVE TO WATCH RAW", but he's one of the guys who can keep you from turning the channel.

Dorkchop 03-10-2008 01:36 AM

Jericho, although not amazing right now, is the kind of guy you watch Raw for. I just hope he gets back into the grove quicker. He's not bad by any means... he's just less awesome.

Heros Welcome 03-10-2008 02:15 AM

Though I do respect Regal a lot, and love his work I'm taking Jericho without hesitation.

Nervous Ferret 03-10-2008 02:34 AM

nigel mcguiness plz

Mercury Bullet 03-10-2008 04:30 AM

Jericho. But Regal is a tougher opponent for this than Brock in my book.

BigDaddyCool 03-10-2008 10:06 AM

I said Regal cause he is funnier than Jericho.

Londoner 03-10-2008 10:23 AM

Regal is good there's no denying that, but i can't say he's as good as Jericho.

Rammsteinmad 03-10-2008 12:14 PM

Jericho.

Regal is the man though. :y:

HeartBreakMan2k 03-10-2008 12:40 PM

I said Regal cause I :heart: him and Jericho shouldn't have made it this far to begin with.

Porcupine 03-10-2008 06:51 PM

If you asked me this before Jerichos hiatus, I wouldve said it was a draw. But nowadays, I will go wit Regal because over time, he has entertained me more and I think he matches Jericho pretty evenly in the total package department. Basically it comes down to loving everything Regal has ever done (that I've seen) and not liking Jericho at all since his return.

Destor 03-10-2008 06:57 PM

Regal is getting pwnd. I expected this, but still.

Londoner 03-10-2008 06:59 PM

Give jericho a tougher opponent than regal, but not too tough. ;)

Destor 03-10-2008 07:01 PM

I took the frst person that was requested because I wasn't in the mood to pick one myself. Clearly people dont read the things I put in the first post because I asked peple to post their choice for his next canidate. So do it up.

Londoner 03-10-2008 07:10 PM

Ok do Kurt angle next. Could be close that one.

Lock Jaw 03-10-2008 07:10 PM

I vote Regal, because he talks different than I do.

I'd really hate to do such a great wrestler so early, I'll think about it. Still keep the suggestions coming. I may/may not use them but it cant hurt.

Londoner 03-10-2008 07:17 PM

Hmm, but you used jericho early.:shifty:

Jura 03-10-2008 07:24 PM

Eddie Guerrero and then Chris Benoit because all three were the cruiserweights from WCW and were like brothers.

Londoner 03-10-2008 07:33 PM

Yeh do eddie next, whose benoit btw?

I don't want the early goings void of quality wrestlers either. I'm to keep an even blend.

Destor 03-10-2008 07:43 PM

I like the sound of Eddie though. I'll think about it.

cna't really do both. If Jericho wins his next match he goes into the hall of Fame.

BigDaddyCool 03-10-2008 10:32 PM

Does Jericho say Umanga? NO! Regal wins.

Better Than You 03-10-2008 10:39 PM

I'll vote Regal just so he doesn't look so bad.

Lock Jaw 03-11-2008 12:32 AM

Regal never looks bad. What with his snazzy suits...

BigDaddyCool 03-11-2008 09:29 AM

Is HBK or Flair already out of this? Cause either of them could kill jericho.
