So The Game-uh and Big Daddy Quad makes it, but not Mankind? Shocking.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

If we try hard enough, we could get Bruno as the winner...

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHA...

 

Almost had myself there for a minute.

 

You can see how the WWF wants it to go. And even if it doesn't go that way, it will (wink)"Go that way"(wink).

 

Bruno

vs

Flair

 

HHH

vs

HBK

 

Backlund

vs

Graham

 

Rock

vs

Big Daddy Cool

----------

 

Austin

vs

Yoko

 

Bret

vs

Taker

 

Pedro

vs

Savage

 

Hogan

vs

Angle

[Guest Coffey]

I picked the following:

 

Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Bob Backlund, The Rock, Steve Austin, Bret Hart, Randy Savage & Hulk Hogan.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Flair with HHH

 

Backlund with Rock

 

THEN Rock with HHH as the semis

 

Austin with Bret

 

Savage with Hogan

 

THEN Austin with Hogan

 

Austin vs. Rock in the end.

[Guest Brian]

I picked Bruno over Flair. OLD SCHOOL~!

[Guest Choken One]

My Finals:

 

HBK/Hart

 

WWE finals

 

HHH/Taker.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Man-o-Man, would McMahon ever be bitter if Bruno went all the way...

 

Bruno vs. Bret in the finals! C'mon!

[Guest Bling-Bling Buchanan]

Bruno

vs

Flair

 

HHH

vs

HBK

 

Backlund

Big Daddy Cool

Bret

vs

Taker

 

Pedro

vs

Savage

 

Hogan

vs

Angle

 

Foley should be in HHH's spot and The Warrior should be in Big Daddy "Ow, my" Quad's spot. Warrior may have sucked too, but he was hell of a bigger draw than Nash.

[Guest Sakura]

Flair

HHH

Backlund

Rock

Austin

Bret

Savage

Angle

 

 

My picks. It would be funny if HHH wins.

[Guest Austin3164life]

This kind of thing has been done to death, reincarnation, and another death.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Hogan, Savage, Flair, Rock, Austin are definites.

 

Backlund and Graham is just there to get beaten by the Rock.

 

Taker/Bret could go one way or the other, as could HBK/HHH. Either way, Taker/Austin and Bret/Austin have become staple feuds of the WWE - there is no coincidence there. As well, both HBK and HHH are huge Flair marks. I'd say that HHH would win, however, because the WWF is just silly like that.

 

Hogan vs. Austin in the Semis is guaranteed - which makes me wonder why they weren't on opposite ends of the tournament (well, I don't REALLY have to wonder why...) and Rock is guaranteed into the finals along with whomever wins HHH/HBK.

[Guest CED Ordonez]

Bruno over Flair

Trips over HBK

Billy Graham (mouse slip) over Backlund

Rock over Nash

Austin over Yokozuna

Hart over 'Taker

Angle over Hogan (or: The Smark in Me over Old School Nostalgia)

[Guest Bling-Bling Buchanan]

HHH wasn't that great a champion. Am I forgetting something?

[Guest Sakura]

Yes, you are. HHH's title reign like saved the WWF Championship after the 1999 debacle.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Arguing about who is better is pointless - it is better to look at who the WWF expects to win, then you can see how they are thinking. And as always, they are hoping for the 'attitude' era to outshine hulkamania. Good ole Vince, no loyalty whatsoever. These pairings don't even make sense in terms of generations or title reigns. Just the WWF doing what they always do, work the fans.

[Guest Brian]

C'mon you guys. Flair was champ for such a small period of time, think about how much Bruno meant to a pre-WrestleMania WWF and WWWF.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

And think about how many fans (that will be voting) have seen Bruno wrestle compared to Flair.

[Guest bravesfan]

These were my votes. For some of the more questionable, I pointed out which reigns made the difference for me in each vote.

 

Bruno

 

HBK - based on his post WMXII run, against Nash, Foley, Vader, Sid, etc.

 

Backlund

 

Rock - I voted for Rock, simply because Nash's reigns were SO BAD in every aspect.

 

Austin - Wrestlemania 14 - KOTR with two ****+ matches with Foley..

 

Bret - WMX - Survivor Series 1994.

 

Savage - by default, because I never seen a Morales match.

 

Hogan - Angle's title runs were pretty abysmal, heat-wise. This current reign has the heat, but the lack of defending it due to injury, combined with the probable end at Wrestlemania 19, leaves it quite short of Hogan's 84-88 reign.

[Guest Brian]

Still, most who saw Flair saw him in WCW and without the WWF title.

[Guest RavishingRickRudo]

Brian, do you think that actually matters to either the WWF or the majority of its fans?

 

Most fans will just see Flairs name and click on it because of name recognition. It has been implanted in most peoples brain that 'flair = greatness'. Bruno hardly ever gets mentioned on WWF tv.

[Guest Austin3164life]

Yes, you are. HHH's title reign like saved the WWF Championship after the 1999 debacle.

If I recall, the WWF's most profitable year in terms of merchandising, gate, ratings, and buyrates was 1999.....unless you are speaking in terms of overall wrestling product (matches, storylines).

 

Wait, nevermind. I think I know now that you're referring to the obsurd number of times the World Title switched hands.

[Guest Army Eye]

Foley should be in HHH's spot and The Warrior should be in Big Daddy "Ow, my" Quad's spot. Warrior may have sucked too, but he was hell of a bigger draw than Nash.

Heh.. interesting take, since HHH was a bigger draw than Foley.

[Guest Sakura]

And Mick never had any big title reigns. He has held the belt for like a month total.

[Mecha Mummy 0]

Mick's title runs were all short. I love the guy, but he shouldn't be here.

 

I voted for...

 

Flair

 

Trips

 

Backlund

 

Rock

 

Austin

 

Bret

 

Hogan

[Guest RevEvil]

Bruno

Savage

Yoko

[Guest Aero]

----------

[Guest Space_Cowboy]

Here's my votes, though the results will probably be rigged like most WWE polls seem to be, either by the WWE themselves or somebody voting tons and tons of times for one person themselves.

 

Bruno

HBK

Backlund

Rock

Austin

Bret

Savage

Hogan

[Guest NoSelfWorth]

As has been said before, Vince will rig this poll like he does every other one.

[Guest eiker_ir]

[Guest mach7]
