WWE Hall of Fame Tournament

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

With the Hall of Fame now at 60 members, I thought it would be fun to run a tournament of only those wrestlers/managers/promoters/etc. in the Hall. Vote for a winner in each matchup, first round will run two days (ending this time Sunday). The members are divided into four groups based on their date of birth, so wrestlers are roughly grouped with their peers.

What criteria are we voting on? Our favorite of the two? Or who is the better wrestler?

Given the presences of Jim Ross and William "The Refrigerator" Perry, just to name two people not known so much for wrestling itself, I would certainly hope for the former.
