Better Wrestler #260

[Supreme Olajuwon]

We have a reigning champion who happens to be African American. That means we are obligated to play at least one round of Better Black Wrestler.

Shit's fucked up, you know? Happy Easter.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

And tell us why you voted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

and try not to vote based on Simmons' weird looking right tit

[Supreme Olajuwon]

wtfffffffffffffffffffffffffff can't stop looking at it now

[St. Jimmy]

Ron was a better worker all around. Booker was good, but Ron was better.

[KaosDarksol]

Ron Simmons. Better singles wrestler, better tag team wrestler and while in apa was fairly entertaining

[KIRA]

Booker T


based soley on the fact that I'm more familiar with his work and it is tremendous

That said I do have a soft spot for Ron Simmons can somebody recommend me some matches of his (excluding winning world title from Vader)

[whiteyford]

Prefered Simmons career overall,stuff with NOD and APA stands out to me more than anything of Bookers who i usualy found pretty bland.

[AfterShock8706]

I wanted to put Ron bc he set the boundaries for all black wrestlers being able to win the heavyweight title. But in the long run i had to go with Booker T based on wrestling ability, plus his best of seven series with benoit in WCW and WWE were pretty epic. anyone remember those besides me. For good times i got one for this thread DAMNNNNNNN

[Rammsteinmad]

Booker T. Overall one of my all-time faves. Tremendous career in tag teams and singles. Entertaining on the mic, can play heel or face, serious or comedy, and can put on a great match too.

Said this in the last round, but I personally think Booker T is one of the most underated 'legends' in pro wrestling today.

[Skippord]

Voting for Book because Ron's tit is freaking me out.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

That tit all I can say is... ......

DAMN!

Voted for Ron cause he was the World Champ when it still meant something. The first Black World Champion. Iconic tag team combinations with JBL, Butch Reed and the NOD.

[Kane Knight]

Sorry, totally did.

No real deep reasoning here, I just like Simmons more than Booker.

[MoFo]

Never liked Faarooq, easy choice

APA is my fav tag team of all time but.......Booker T wins hands down. Ron Simmons was a HORRIBLE world champion.

[XCaliber]

I'd Booker T made a better champion of himself not only that he won't be remembered mainly for a one word saying I'm just saying.

[Lock Jaw]

Booker T has entertained me more.

Loved the APA though.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I voted Booker T because...well...



Ya know?

This

[CSL]

I like/respect Ron Simmons as much as anybody but without really thinking about it, Booker T is/was better in pretty much every single facet of professional wrestling

[Emperor Smeat]

Booker T.

I liked the APA a lot more than Harlem Heat but felt Booker T had the better singles career overall. Both were good wrestlers in the ring and were decent with promos.

Booker T was pretty good with the different characters he played with King Booker being my favorite while Simmons was good with the tough brawler style character. Simmons did have the better catchphrase

[Immortal Moose]

Booker T. I loved the APA, the NoD was entertaining, and felt Simmons was good in the ring and entertaining outside of it but Booker T was better overall throughout his career.

[Jordan]

I loved Ron Simmons face push in WCW that lead to the title. Although they booked it poorly.

Booker T is the f'n man, love that guy on all accounts.

[Verbose Minch]

Both are great wrestlers, however I feel Booker takes the edge. he's just made so many different characters work.

[PrettyCool]

Farooq never did anything cool except say "DAMN!" So I vote for Booker T.

[jskinnyg]

Loved Ron Simmons but DAMN! I had to go with KING.... BOOOKAAAAA! More decorated, better on the mic, like his ring style better overall...

[DAMN iNATOR]

I really have but one thing to say about the current results of this poll...

SPOILER: show

[Seth82]

Ron Simmons had a great career long before joining WWE and saying that stupid DAMN catchphrase

[AJHayes]

I went with Simmons because I remember how it made me feel when I saw him beat Vader. Simmons has consistantly entertained me (not that Booker hasn't), but, for my money, Simmons has the edge.

NO SHIT

you don't have to go out of your way to make every single post a reference to something non-WWE or territory related

oh fuck off

[St. Jimmy]

I feel that if you're not familiar with someone's work you shouldn't vote.

[DAMN!]
