I both applaud and boo your choice for this Hall of Fame Round of the B.W. Supreme, for if there was anyone I would consider being better than Eddie, it would be The Rock. Based on his accomplished both in and out of ring as well as his ability to retain his appeal and connection with the masses over the years, one would be justified in seeing Rock as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. That being said, I still voted for Eddie, and here's why:

When I think of the term 'Better Wrestler', I take into consideration not only a contestant's in-ring and mic skills, but their overall abilities as well, and I believe this is where Eddie get's a slight edge. I've watched Eddie's matches from Mexico to Japan (his Black Tiger Vs. Jushin Liger matches are among my favorite), WCW to WWE, and I truly feel he is a better competitor than The Rock. In my opinion, Eddie's moves (both aerial and power), actually excel that of Rock's, who when I take a look at his movelist comes off as pretty general.

I completely understand that many will disagree with this assessment, but I feel it's a reasonable judgement. The Rock had a bigger persona and his mic skills and nearly flawless, but this isn't a better persona poll, it's better wrestler, and that's why I went once again with the Latino Heated Black Tiger.
