Tough one but I picked Eddie due to familiarity

[Rammsteinmad]

Eddie Guerrero easily!

Respect for Piper and everything, but I've never really been much of a fan of his. His ring skills were generally basic and his mic skills were good, but nothing totally unique that nobody else could improve upon.

Eddie is the fucking man though. Excellent in the ring, and on the mic. The guy was the legit total package in terms of what makes a great wrestler. There's very few guys who can cut a promo without saying a word, and making it work, but Eddie did it, and the crowd ate it all up.

My comments about Piper sound harsher than they should, I respect the guy and everything, but come on, Eddie is better in Piper in every way.

There are few I would vote over Eddie. So this.

[Skippord]

Eddie, due to Mexcellence

I also saw more of his career and enjoyed him more in the ring than what I have seen of Piper

I anticipate being called an asshole for this

[The Mackem]

Piper for me, Eddie could have been greater than he was and easily beat Piper. But does not IMO.

[James Steele]

Damn it, Juan. Eddie Guerrero's career may have been cut short, but he was so fucking good on every level those last few years that it could be argued his best was just as good if not better than anybody's best.

[Nicky Fives]

reluctantly, Piper.....

[XCaliber]

Must say this was an easier pick than last round for me Roddy Piper FTW!

[VSG]

Roddy Piper, because the HoF should be proud to have him in it.

[TheFallenOneX]

Piper is a bloody Icon

[Keith]

"Latino Heat"

[Seth82]

gotta go with Piper

[whiteyford]

Eddie, thought he was generally better in every regard, even promos in later years.

[Joesgonnakillyou]

Piper pips Papi to the post

Piper was pioneering

[Emperor Smeat]

Piper

[Immortal Moose]

Piper gets my vote but part of me really wanted to vote for Eddie.

[CSL]

Piper. Eddie was fantastic but Piper was better. Only place Eddie has him beat is bell to bell. Piper would have gotten himself over and been a star in any era just by being himself. Eddie needed to be "used correctly" and took a considerable amount of time to find "his spot" before really doing anything of note. Which is absolutely fine. And his time in KOTF could still very well come. Piper rn though. When it comes down to it, "who deserves to be in wrestling hall of fame more, Piper or Eddie?". And it's Piper, every single time.

[K.Smoke]

I went with Eddie hands down.
The respect and adoration u guys have for piper makes me wonder at u guys ages because I'm 34 and I missed a lot of his career and I've been watching since the 80s.
Eddie I remember since his WCW career he was great then and i knew once he got a shot in the WWE he would flourish the Guerrero name was as popular in WCW as the Hart Foundation in WWE and a lot of it was due to Eddie.

Age has nothing to do with Youtube. Learned about Piper the same way I learned about CM Punk and Daniel Bryan before their WWE run.

Once again age plays a factor if u learned about Piper b4 his WWE run because like I said I started watching in the 80s and piper was already there. I was watching b4 Wrestlemania. I even watched the Hogan and Mr. T and somebody else go against Piper, Orton and I think Orndoff. I can't really remember exactly who but I remember Piper being there. So if u learned of him b4 WWE u must have some age on u.

CM Punk I learned about from ECW and then i looked him up and watched his older matches.

Bryan was a recognized name because i was on a sight name Chaingangsoldiers and they use to talk about ROH alot which really got me into ROH. Which then got me into looking into other wrestlings. So when he came to NXT I was familiar with him.

[Lavel]

Eddie was great all around not a lot of people can come close to how good he was.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Going with Piper. He deserves the hall of fame for his decades in the business. Not knocking Eddie at all, but Piper is iconic.

[Nicky Fives]

Exactly..... I enjoyed Eddie more, but Piper is legendary and is arguably the greatest heel in the history of professional wrestling.....

Piper and it's not even close. Guerrero isn't in Piper's league. Piper is a top 10, possibly 5 star of all time.

[Shisen Kopf]

If this was a drug taking contest then Dead E would win. I liked Eddie bc he played the perfect Mexican heel with the stealing and being all ghetto. But Piper was much better.

[Keith]

Originally Posted by Shisen Kopf If this was a drug taking contest then Dead E would win.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. I think it'd still be neck and neck.

[K.Smoke]

Ya I got into ROH after CM Punk came to WWE thats how I found out about D.Bryan and Austin Aries etc. etc. yes yes late bloomer was primarily WWF fan until then.

[CSL]

and you don't think anybody could have watched old Piper stuff as opposed to having to "have some age on u"?

[whiteyford]

The Internet, its not just for porn.

[K.Smoke]

lol I miss read his statement thought he meant he knew about Punk and bryan b4 they came to WWE.

[RiX1024]

Vote to Piper.

[CSL]

I always knew RiX1024 was an honourable and upstanding gentleman

[James Steele]

IT'S ALL TIED UP!

[AfterShock8706]

I like both of these guys and bothe have great skills in all areas of wrestling great on the mic, great in the ring, and just plain and simple able to get a crowd love em or hate em. but i'm gonna have to go with eddie bc he is one of the greatest of all time. one of my top 5 favorites number 2 actually and piper is in my top 15

[K.Smoke]

For the record, though I voted for EG, I hope Piper win this thing. First, because then we can move on to someone else. But also because its the hall of fame round.

maybe for the future we can use guys who were during the same timeline.

[CSL]

lol erm if you wanted Piper to win you probably should have voted for him buddy

[K.Smoke]

Originally Posted by CSL lol erm if you wanted Piper to win you probably should have voted for him buddy

U'll get a rep point cause I have to respond to u with my 100th post

Didn't know about putting people in the hall of fame based on wins. And though I like EG over Piper, Piper deserves the HOF!
