Prob the only one that is going to pick him, but I went with Merro. Malenko was a great worker, but that was pretty much it, he never had a interesting enough character or mic skills to be on top. Mero on the other hand played a ton of great roles across multiple promotions and could bring it in the ring.

I actually went with Mero too. While Malenko was obviously better in the ring, the dude didn't have the look or personality that Mero was full of. It's a shame Mero didn't get treated better when he was in the WWF, could have easily been a world champ.

I found this a lot harder than I expected, in the end I went with Dean Malenko as I believe he was a phenomenal wrestler and didn't need to charisma to be over, his skills were enough. That being said, Marc Mero was extremely underrated, he had the look and was a lot more talented than some people give him credit.

Both fine choices but Dean Malenko just inched it for me.

Malenko is a true competitor who could make anyone look good. Mero had more personality but I would never see him as more credible than Malenko.

Now, I'm feeling voters remorse...I went with Malinko who was better in the the ring than most..but yeah, no personality...Mero had that.

NOW, if you spliced them together...you'd have a great superstar! lol!

Not that hard to have more personality than Dean but that's the only edge Mero had. Rather watch Dean put on great matches as world champion than Mero pretty much do nothing for me as world champion.
