[Keith]

Love both guys. I went Christian because he was able to draw great heat, had a more interesting character and was part of some of the most iconic matches in WWF/E history.

 

[Chris]

Christian takes it for consistency even with the 8 or so years off. In a perfect world I should probably be voting Claudio but both of these guys are 10 times world champs

 

[Comrade Khan]

Christians aew run alone is worthy of my vote. Then you add tna and a top 10 tag team run. Yeah I gotta go big C.

Claudio rules though n probably pound for pound strongest wrestler ever and an all timer in ring performer

 

[Death By Looch]

I like to call this Match the Brass Ring Commemorative Match... aka the FU Vince Match, just because I personally think these are the two biggest dropped balls in WWEs 21st century.

It's a tough one, but I'm going with Christian Cage too. He always was such a great scumbag heel and I don't think it's a secret that since his heel turn in AEW, he's one of the best present heels in my book. If this would be solely based on in-ring work, then I'd go with Claudio though. Not that Christian is bad in the ring of course, far from it, but he just can't live up to Castagnoli in that regard.

 

[Y2Jayne]

I'm biased for life with Christian as I actually met him.

 

[Cwalker]

This is an interesting one.

It’s really only close cause Christian was forced into retirement.

Claudio is an amazing talent but I gotta go with Christian

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Definitely went with Christian here. But both really good.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

I'm going with my boy Claudio here, he was one of my favorites when he debuted on WWE TV in 2013 and I've always loved watching his matches.

Looch is right tho, he is one of the biggest dropped balls for WWE.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Absolutely Christian. He is one of my favorite of all time, much less just of the 21st century. He easily transitions from a heel to a face and is very underrated in the ring, I think

Daddy advances to Round 2!
