Yeah, I'm turned off to the whole idea now that everyone has admitted that it is purely a popularity poll. Pretty flawed. I won't be voting again.

That's great news. But also, it's not PURELY popularity. Ultimately it is, but there is varying levels of criteria involved. Everyone rates differently. Some vote on better wrestler in terms of skills from bell to bell. Others judge their own personal enjoyment over the years. Others judge status in the industry. And finally, some judge how good they are at their job (promos, charisma, etc.). They may also mix and match. It's more than just "my favoritez LOlz".

Thank you Thed. Wake the fuck up Narc. Opinion is a popularity contest. It's about the prestige and legitimacy of how people judge things. It's in order here for what it is. |

Well, obviously some people think that "better" and "popular" are two different things considering you have people voting for wrestlers that they like better than than who they think is actually better. Ala screech.

My proof of this is the fact that I voted for Angle over The Rock. This doesn't mean that it's NOT a popularity contest but it is how each individual regards each individual poll. And at the end of the day - why so serious? |

That said, my vote for RVD comes on the basis of being entertained by him moreso than Kurt, in addition to my disdain for Angle. Yes, Angle is a better technical wrestler, but that's only half of it. I was more entertained by Van Dam, therefore I enjoyed more of his matches than Angle's (again, partly due to me not being as big a fan of Angle's). Why bother come into these threads to bitch about how people vote? It's a thread to voice your opinion on the wrestlers in the poll, not the people voting for them or how "unfair" the match-ups are. People vote for who they want, possibly give a reason, then leave. You should do the same and not bitch about who won or how you think the system is rigged. Jesus Christ, it's a poll. Calm the fuck down. EDIT: Wow I missed a lot in between. Stupid college internet being so damn slow. |

A professional wrestler isn't just about the in-ring aspect, especially on the US scene. Other people are going to define it differently. Your definition may not necessarily matter to the next person, and their's to the next. Someone may enjoy one style to another. One may like promos more than the in-ring work. The fact is, what YOUR definition of "better wrestler" isn't the only definition. Last edited by Xero; 12-17-2008 at 09:56 PM. |

Everybody got all serious on me here. I think it's a great idea but a poor execution and you all think I'm wrong. If we are so accepting of opinions here, why all this hostility?

Xero knows. I mean, honestly, it's not like we have batting average, RBIs and Home Runs to judge on. We have varying ways to gauge them, the most important of which is personal preference/entertainment.

Wrestler is their job title (unless you're Vince). It doesn't neccesarily mean actual mat wrestling. It means professional wrestler. It's ambiguous

So we agree that the title of the thread is misleading then? The title suggests we are supposed to find out who the better wrestler is but in reality the better wrestler doesn't exist?

"Better Wrestler" can mean basically whatever we want - technical wrestler, popular, better on the mic, entertainer, or simply the fact that you prefer one over the other (whom you may just simply hate). |

I voted for RVD. I know Angle has the better wrestling skills, but I've always been a huge RVD mark, dating back the good ol days of ECW. Plus that fact that he's a stoner is a plus for me.

The way I vote is for who entertained me the most. Being a better wrestler is a large part of that, but charisma and promo ability can put someone over the top. Kurt Angle is like the perfect combination of everything, and so he will be tough to beat.
Taz remains a mystery to me how he got into the HoF. |

How are you going to tell me that this thing isn't the least bit flawed if we're trying to determine who the better wrestler is when no one can seem to define "better" or "wrestler" the same way?

That's what makes these threads great. We can argue our case on why we voted the way we did.
