[He who knows more than Nation]

Again, this isn't even debatable. Funk has longevity, was revolutionary to the Hardcore style of wrestling, and like 90% of the greatest wrestlers ever, is from Texas, along with names like DiBiasie, Michaels, Taker, Austin, Rhodes, his brother, the Von Erichs...anyways...HBK is HBfucking K. Easily the best in ring performer from 94-2010 who had memorable matches with anyone in so many styles. So many wrestlers have emulated Shawn Michaels the way Ric Flair has been emulated. I'll save my better stuff for when it matters if this tourney spurns some real debate.

Both are legendary, but Funk honestly isn't a name the average fan will echo for history... HBK on the other hand will be one of those wrestlers that fans decades, maybe even centuries from now, recollect as legendary.
