Mr. Perfect. There are only 2, maybe 3 people I would put above him and Savage isn't one of them.

This is was hard for me. I really liked both guys and both were great in the ring. Because of that, I had to use professional success to "break the tie" so to speak, so in that regard, Macho wins for me.

Curt Henning was what he said he was, 'absolutely perfect'. He was a true talent. Both are HOFers in my book, but this vote goes to the one that's in already.

This is difficult. I was hoping Macho would just have an easy path to the HoF. I'm still going with him, though.

All I think back to is Hennig bumping like a machine in the Summerslam 91 match with a fucked up back.

This one was so hard. Mr. Perfect has an almost perfect resume...only thing missing is a world title. Savage for me, by a very slim margin.

I cannot accept anything other than a Macho Man win here. It's very close for me as I think both are in my top 5 but Macho is probably closer to #1 for me. Macho takes it.

Clearly you're undecided and your vote is invalid. So the final vote will be Perfect vs Savage - 1. |

I will have no faith in humanity if Macho Man does not make it to the HOF.

I went with Savage because I'm more familiar with Savage, and he has "it." Henning is good on all levels, but Savage just has the little extra whatever it is that makes him a shining star.
Also Savage is the quintessential wrestler. |

Also, ask anyone who hates wrestling or doesn't watch it. Ask them to describle a wrestler, I will bet you they discribe Savage.

Mr. Perfect is the way better wrestler. The Macho Man is jsut few goofy phrases and so on while Mr. Perfect is jsut well plain PERFECT.

Savage is a good wrestler/was a good wrestler, and he was a complete package if there ever was one.

I agree Savage was great, but he's no Mr. Perfect in the ring.

Mr. Perfect is dead, and Savage is not. Savage > Hennig.

I think people use Hennig's gimmick as a way to describe him too much. He was really good. Really god damn good but he wasn't perfect and he wasn't the best at what he did when compared to others IMO. I can think of more than a handful of guys that I would put over Perfect. He's up there but his personal demons weighed him down alot and prevented him from achieving what alot of guys did (not talking about storylines here).
Savage was everything you could ever want in a performer. He didn't need written vignettes to get over. You stick him in the ring, he gets over. You put the stick in his hand, he gets over. He was good at everything he did and anybody that had a match with him said the same things. Hogan said he was the biggest perfectionist he had ever worked with. DDP said that he doesn't feel that he had even wrestled a real match until he started wrestling Savage. I mean for god's sake, he pulled a 4 star match out of Warrior. There are VERY few people that I would put over Savage. I even have trouble saying that Flair was a better performer than Savage (although I do think they are of the same calibur). Bottom Line: Vince likes to downplay the role that Savage played but Randy Savage is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. |

Savage has the best opening grapple in the business. Look at the intensity in which he grabs a man. That is why he snaps into Slim Jims and Lex Luger shoots up IcoPro.

Savage's overly-telegraphed top rope double axe handle always bugged me, and that's really the only flaw I can find with either of them, so I'll say Mr. Perfect.

If Mr. Perfect was so perfect, then he would have never lost a match.

It is pretty hard this one.
I think Hennig has the edge as a worker, but savage has the edge in overall career success. With that it boils down to pre-New York and mic work for me. I loved curt in AWA. there are a lot of matches from then of his on Youtube if you search enough. They really are great, and he was even better in the ring back then. Savage in Memphis was good, but not as good as he bacame, And as for the stick, Savage just always sounded like he was on speedballs or something. He has had his moments of great promo's, but often they could have done more to push an angle with some real belivable hate. Hennig's work as a commentator (which Savage was awful at) was always entertaining, he was the reason I used to watch Prime Time Wrestling, and his stuff with Flair and Heenan before WM8 were some of my favourite promos of all time. I vote, the Berzerker. |
