Better Wrestler #190 *Hall of Fame Round*

**Jeritron** · 12-16-2010, 04:36 PM

I recognize that Punk is probably getting a lot of votes because of the high level of praise for him currently on these boards, but I don't think that means Piper is the absolute correct answer.
It's hard for me to subscribe to the idea that there is a factual answer, or plead with people who disagree.
I love Piper, but I honestly may just enjoy Punk more by now.

That's like Flair vs _____. Other than a couple wrestlers, it is generally consensus that Flair is the best. That doesn't mean I have to feel that way.
I can think of 10 guys I'd vote over Flair, personally. I would never argue that Mick Foley is "greater" than Flair, but I simply enjoy him more.

That doesn't mean Piper isn't great, but I think this is a preference poll, and not an objective question of who is a bigger legend or has a better body of work.

With all that being said, I would say this is pretty close for me.
I feel compelled to vote both ways.
