When I saw this poll, I thought it would be an easy one. Then I thought about it and it really is a tough choice. Being privileged to have seen there ROH and ECW work respectively is what is making this a hard choice for me.
When I got into ECW years back I was drawn to RVD right away. The look he had, and his style of offense was very likable. So innovative in every way possible. Was a true pioneer for his company.
Then one day I came on here years back and noticed someone mention the name CM Punk. Intrigued by the name i did my research and found that he worked for ROH. After watching a lot of his work, I knew this guy was going to be a STAR one day on the mainstream. Working a crowd great, very good ring psychology, as well as the "IT" factor.
Now for there times in the E...Well Van Dam was ALWAYS stuck in mid card hell. They never really captured what he really could have been as a main event main stay. Even when he won the title, I marked out hardcore, but there was still a part in me mad that he didn't even win it clean. Another contributing factor is his style was extremely slowed down which did hurt him a little, but he adapted well enough to still be one of the most exciting guys in the ring.
Then as for Punk in the E....When he came in preaching the MMA style, after a few of his matches I mentioned to a friend he is a Joe/KENTA hybrid. nothing wrong with it but I do miss his ROH ring work. Reguardless, Punk is going to be a much bigger star for the E then Van Dam was I believe. Punk is the Total Package. I can't wait for the day when the realize that got all the merch they need out of Punk as a face, and turn him heel. the day he turns he will become Main Event.
the choice is STILL a tough one....I go draw
