Take nothing away from Steve Corino, I've seen him wrestle live and I got to tell you... he's a good heel. Christian, on the other hand, is a great heel. He uses his size, his charisma, his athleticism in the ring... and rolls it all up into a nice heel package. I've loved a lot of Christian's work throughout the years, and he gets the homage vote over Corino.

Don't know enough about Corino really to put him over Christian on this one. Not a fan of Christian though, his second heel run has annoyed the shit outta me.

Gotta go with Christian, he fits the role as a Heel almost perfectly while Corino on the other hand, is a decent Heel but doesn't fit the role as good as Christian does.

As a heel Corino is miles ahead of Christian, I'm not going to harp on Corino's lack of being a bigger promotion. This is about who is a better heel and Corino is better at generating heat.

I agree. This is very hard, but in a way I think Corino has had a bigger impact at his level, the way he has carved out that own unique style as the king of Old School and has connected with the fans. I really liked Christian, but you could argue that he has never been given the chance to succeed with a proper run as a heel, and has had many different runs, with degrees of success.

Tough decision but went with Christian.

Corino is great as a heel but Christian's 2nd run as a heel is annoying as hell and pisses everyone off so... It works.

Went with Christian though I dislike the chicken shit heel he does it pretty well and can also do the comedic heel perfectly as he showed with E & C and some of his solo heel stuff.

Gave Christian the nod, but kind of second guessing it. So be it though, Christian is a good heel and has had some great runs as a heel.

I really want to go with Corino just for his ECW stuff, ROH against Homicide and even 2010/11 with the Steen vs Generico/Cabanna, but i have to go with Christian. IDK why but i felt he was just a better heel.

Pretty sure this tournament is for better heels, not who is a bigger star but Christian making it to the next round isn't too much of a big deal.

But Christian is a great heel, I think few would dispute that, it is just a case of if he is better than Corino.
