WWE Popularity Poll: Who's The Greatest?

XL · 07-25-2010, 05:14 PM

I dunno whether to vote for the "Greatest" or my favourite - they are 2 totally different polls btw.

When the "greatest" is discussed your list is pretty much: Hogan, Flair, Austin, Rock, Shawn, Taker, Bret. The rest of the guys (including Kurt and Jericho) on the list have little/no place being mentioned in the "greatest of all time".

As for personal favourite, that can be anybody.

So, as the thread title is "Greatest" but the poll asks for "favourite" I will pick my favourite of the "Greatest".

And that probably goes to Shawn Michaels.

I was a huge Hart mark as a kid but had stopped watching by the time Shawn came to prominance and then got back into wrestling after he retired in 98. However, having watched a lot of the stuff that I missed and having seen his career since he came back I have to hand it to HBK. If Bret had been in WWF/E during late 98 onwards (when I got back into it) I'm sure he would be my go to guy but, he wasn't.

Shawn brings it on every level. His promo work is usually good to amazing, his matches are the same. Looking just at his Mania work you have v Jericho, v Angle, v Taker (twice), v Vince even. Those matches are amongst the very best Mania matches of all time.

As good as his opponents are/were, he was the common denominator.
