Better Wrestler #67

After the largest voter turnout yet, Eddie Guerrero picks up the win by just one vote in one of our hottest nail-biters yet.

Mr. Perfect was just one vote away from being in the Hall of Fame, but no cigar. Eddie moves on.

Anderson without a doubt was one of the most under-used pure wrestlers in the sport. I hardly ever saw a Double A match i didnt like. Eddie was good...but not Enforcer good.

I think everyone on hear knows how I roll. Double A all the way.

Arn was amazing, but Eddie was better

I always thought Arn was a complete bad ass. Even as his career started winding down in WCW, I always enjoyed watching him.

Going with Eddie again. He just never failed to entertain me in every sense.

Eddie all the way. Nothing against Arn, I missed pretty much his entire in-ring career, and only know him as Ric Flairs buddy, and Enforcer of the Four Horsemen.

Double A all the way. Just the Spinebuster alone is enough of a reason to vote for him.

This should have been third or fourth round.

Eddie only because I know his work better.

This was an easy one for me, Double A. In my opinion, one of the greatest ring psychologists there was. As was said earlier, I don't think an Arn Anderson match exists that I don't like.

I dunno, I honestly thought it was a solid start off round. I knew Arn was popular, but I didn't think he'd stand a chance on here.
Tully was a round 2 challenger early in the contest and lost. So were others who seem to be just as popular.

Sometimes round 2 guys perform suprisingly well, and sometimes round 4 guys get blown out.

If you look at the history of the contest, there have been guys who are equal to or greater than Arn in popularity early in rounds. Mr. Perfect and Ricky Steamboat, etc. etc.

I am picking Eddie because I am more familiar with him.

Arn was good, really good. But, Eddie just had "it". People wanted to watch Eddie, people turned on Smackdown! just to see Eddie. Not a lot of people did that for AA.

These have been really difficult lately...but I have to go with Double A!

Eddie on the account that I followed his life while it was happening. Why so hard right off the bat though?

Kevin Nash ruined Arn Anderson for me when he was talking about liver spots and spots on dogs and whatnot. :shifty:

Yeah, I remember being wtf even as a child.

To Xero and anyone else saying Arn came too early, the idea is to put someone up we think would have less of a chance in the early rounds and vice versa in the later rounds. Doesn't mean upsets and surprises don't happen. But if you look at the TPWW you'll notice that when it comes to old school there isn't much praise being sung. And when you look at old school the WWE hasn't put over there is virtually ZERO praise.

This will take some quiet reflection.

Do you remember what Eddie to Steamboat?

There should be a sub poll for this one: Will the Strawman vote in this round?

NYDon stoppoed voting after we dropped the draw. :(

If NYDon isn't voting, I'm not voting either.

I'm going for Eddie, always enjoyed his work.

Arn Anderson was the man. He was the 2nd in command in one of the Most badass stables ever.....EVER!!!

The man could do it all, he could talk, he had charisma, and he could fucking work! His psychology in the ring was absolute brilliance. You may forget Tully, Ole, Benwho, and the other horsemen, but you will FUCKING REMEMBER Arn.

Now, we get to the often imitated, never duplicated, Spinebuster. This was one of the best looking moves of his era. It was more effective than the sharpshooter, and it was THE knockout move. Nobody has, or will do it better.

Arn was the shit. And that spot Nash did almost...ALMOST made me kinda pissed at him.

I agree with you. I know alot more about Eddie's career because I started understanding wrestling towards the end of Arns but then this happened

....Nuff said

What I enjoy about the matches I can't decide on, is that I go away and usually spend an hour or two watching matches by the guys in question.

So, I'll let you know after some youtubery.

I went Arn Anderson. Eddie was great and all, but AA was AA.
