Damn, really tough choice.
They were both great talents and each had the potential to be top tier midcard talents. I'm gonna have to go with Rick Martel though. I don't know why, but I was a big Martel fan as a kid, even though he was a heel when I started watching.
During the IC Title Battle Royal and subsequent finals match, I was rooting for Martel over Razor Ramon. I also had high hopes for Martel when he emerged in WCW in early 1998.
I only later would get to see Martel in his AWA days and his early WWF days as a tag team wrestler in Strike Force and the Can-Am Connection. Tremendous talent.
Santana was good, but I gotta go with Martel.
