Shane Douglas over Pat Patterson? DDP over Buddy Rogers?
There is a serious late-'90s-to-present bias in the voting here. [/RANT]

Um...about your undying loyalty to Frank Gotch...I am willing to bet you have never seen one of his matches. I respect him as a legend that he is, but the fact is the man died in 1917...granted he was the first Champion...but that an only take him so far in my books. I voted on people who have entertained me and/or I respect. Mick Foley has entertained me and given me COUNTLESS hours of enjoyment...Frank Gotch has not.
And I was also one of the people who voted Douglas over Patterson, and the reason is simple. Patterson has retired for over two decades, Douglas is still fresh in my mind....I REALLY enjoyed ECW with the Franchise.
And as for DDP...that was a tough call...I just happen to be a HUGE Diamond Dallas mark.
I didn't start watching in the 90's...I have been watching since birth practically in 1984...so bite down good sir. Bite down.
