1. Mike Awesome vs. Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Buff Bagwell vs. Vader

In a battle of true heavyweight harditters, That 70’s Guy clashes with Marcus Alexander Bagwell, Big Van Vader, and the man with the most famous tattoo in the business’ history, Bam Bam Bigelow. The man we know as Vader is the only competitor with a WCW World Title reign to his credit but will the awesome might of one of his challengers be too much for him?

Vote based off of these people’s body of work in WCW alone! Post who you voted for an why, please. Thank you. There will be no polls in the first round, simply because I want you to have to vote for who you want to win through a post, rather than clicking an option and not elaborating!

Vader for sure. The guy was a beast in WCW and was rewarded for his awesomeness.

Ultimate squash.

Vader. His series with Sting alone should make him a favourite to win this entire thing.

Vader easily, his work in WCW puts his competition to shame.

Based on WCW, Awesome is out immediately. Same with Bam Bam unfortunately.

So it's between Vader & Bagwell, and that shit ain't even close. Vader FTW.

It's Vader Time!!! If Simmons or Luger would have been here... history would have been a little bit different.

What do you mean? Do you mean he wouldn't win this tournament match or that his career would have been different? Because Simmons and Luger were both around during Vader's heyday, and on top of that, I'd still be voting for Vader against either of them. Especially Luger 'cause he pretty much sucks despite what his accomplishments would tell you.

Vader is one of the most feared men in the history of the business and wins my vote for the greatest big man that wrestling has ever seen, with Bigelow coming in at number 2. Both were very agile, very strong, and very charasmatic. However Vader was the face of the company during several short stintsin between reins of dominance from the likes of Sting and Flair and probably the best WCW heel in the mid-90's, period. He's out of this world as far as his skillset goes and it's unbelievable that big ugly grizzly bear from Colorado just like him could be such a great wrestler. Which is why I vote for him.

It's Vader. He was absolutely dominant in early WCW and while Buff may have had the longevity, he certainly didn't achieve what Vader did.
