Yeaaa... quite a few of these first round matches will already make me have to have an actual think about them. I'm already not looking forward to the deeper rounds of this. Gonna be hell to decide in many cases.

 

[TOP GUY TIME]

In terms of overall greatness, Triple H edges it out but KENTA's in-ring prime was godly. HHH edges him out in stories so this makes it hard.

Im gonna give the edge to KENTA though because he was an absolute beast for a majority of the timeframe and is still a beast when he works American Indies.

 

[Keith]

Kenta. For his consistency and the legacy.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Fuck. This is one of the ones I need to think on a bit before I make a choice lol.

 

[Chris]

I think this one is so hard bc I don't think Kenta ever lived up to the potential we thought while HHH probably overdelivered his. But Kenta was just still that good

 

[Canadian Dragon]

early Kenta was probably a top 3 in ring worker.

but I voted for him because he trolls Punk

 

[Hidden Blaze]

After a little thought. I think I’ll go Triple H, and what gives him the edge for me, the fact that he was part of one of my favorite matches I seen live(him and Taker at WM27)

 

[Daddy Dom]

its hunter, even if you take away the reign of terror, I have to go and see longevity Kenta has PAC type problems of staying healthy enough for me to vote his way.

 

[Deadd2009]

If Trips had stayed the snotty blueblood and never evolved into the Game, Id probably pick KENTA here. BUT, even after his reign of terror, HHH was a workhorse. Gotta go with Paul.

 

[The Gipper]

Kenta never did a segment with Katie Vick so that’s good enough to get my vote.

 

[Tranquilo Jay]

Voted Triple H as I've only seen a handful of KENTA matches and don't know much about him.

 

[Death By Looch]

And...

#9 Triple H beats #56 KENTA with 17 - 11
