[Italian Outsider]

Wrestling ability: HBK has 11 ''match of the year'' and there is a reason for that.
Promo ability and charisma: Sorry, taker just doesn't compare.
Accomplishments and draw: Closer than the other 3, but HBK still wins.

 

[Airfixx]

HBK in every way.

 

[Candido316]

Agreed, HBK takes every cat in this matchup also.

 

[Luke Flywalker]

HBK, hopefully I don't need to explain this.

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

It's HBK. This whole tourney is coming down to HBK and Flair, and that't that way ANY American based tourney should go.

 

[Italian Outsider]

HBK vs Flair in the semifinals, just to screw Enzo's prediction.

 

[1chiban]

HBK. Better worker, better talker. Doesn't mean that 'Taker hasn't had a huge impact on the wrestling business and against someone else would've got through this.

 

[straight_edge76]

HBK.... The further I get into his "Heartbreak and Triumph" DVD I really see why many people say he's the GOAT.

 

[Axis]

I went with Undertaker because I feel it makes more sense looking at it objectively. I personally like Michaels earlier, but it's not entirely warranted.

 

[Airfixx]

"I went with Undertaker because I feel it makes more sense looking at it objectively"

Way to say nothing. ;o]

 

[He who knows more than Nation]

Someone needs to defend Taker. In a legit manner.

 

[Airfixx]

LOL... What's the point of that?

It didn't achieve anything speaking up for the qualities of Hennig vs a significantly superior Bret Hart... I don't see the difference.


Why NOT taker?

Though an iconic character, behind which is a guy that eventually evolved into one hell of a worker, his career is heavily littered with unmemorable shite.

 

[Axis]

I gave more reasoning than most any other vote.
