WWE Popularity Poll: Who's The Greatest?

I disagree. I think greatest is a subjective term, and for me, has as much to do with talent as well as longevity, star power, and titles won. You can make the argument that guys like Angle and Jericho have just as much talent as the guys you listed, and in some cases, maybe even a bit more in some cases. I don't think you would hear anyone argue Hogan could outwrestle Kurt Angle, and for my money, I like Jericho on the mic more than, say, Taker or Bret.

Of course, the guys you listed are the largest draws, which plays a big part in the equation, and in that sense I agree with the spirit of what you're going for. With the medium being scripted though, for me (and I emphasize me, for, as I said, greatness is subjective and therefore this whole post may be an exercise in futility) greatness has a lot to do with making the most of whats been given to you by management. IMO, that opens things up a bit more.
