I didn't think Benoit stood a chance so I wanted to give him a vote.

Benoit is winning the poll? This isn't a poll for marks. It's a poll for the greatest World Champion. Not better wrestler, not your favorite, but better champion. I hate Hogan but he should win this easily.

I'm surprised Benoit has this many votes. Not cause of what he did but because like it or not Hogan had one of it if not the greatest runs of all time and Benoit was a transitional champion. Hogan easily.

I refuse to vote for Hogan in anything. I'm a Benoit fan so I went with him. His 1 title reign meant way much more and was way more special of a moment than any of Hogan's reigns IMO. Hogan was McMahon's champion. Benoit was the fan's champion.

I have to say I am extremely shocked by this. This has to be the biggest upset in the tourney. Hogan is about to go down in the first round to a wrestler with one world title reign that lasted the span of Mania to SummerSlam.

Sorry, but I am the one who swug it back to Hogan. Benoit's WWE Title reign was very good, but it was just one reign, his WCW one was a non-event for obverous reasons. To say Hogan did nothing as champion is silly. From 84-91 he had some classic feuds as WWF Champion and then as WCW Champion (more after turning heel) he had some more great ones. Yes he was carried by a lot of people, yes Vince Mcmahon was a big reason why he became such a big star, but the fact remains he changed Pro Wrestling back in the day and had some classic feuds, and the title did matter for most of his reigns. Benoit had so much talent and yes was an icon. But Hogan has to get this for me.

Well as of right now we standing 7-6 with Benoit pulling off the biggest upset this tourney has seen. I'm still not sure how this is as close as it is.

Must be joking..

Reigns and Lengths don't mean anything, it's about the quality of the reigns, Hogan reigns, I can vaguely remember nor can I pick any defining moments apart from the Power Slam to Andre...

In reality, Benoit's probably meant more than any of Hogans...
