Jun Akiyama gets my vote.

Reason: Bockwinkel is holding up a Heavyweight Championship belt.

Bockwinkel mainly because I don't think Akiyama should be in this tournament at all. He's been a multiple time World Champion in Japan, just not one in the states, and I don't even think he's ever wrestled in the states for more than a one time match or so.

Nick Bockwinkel for me. Was a quality wrestler and a good champion in AWA, he would have been world champion elsewhere if he wasn't a one promotion guy.

Even though I've never seen Akiyama I went with him, because Bockwinkel is the undisputed #1 most boring guy in the history of wrestling.

Bockwinkel has held many world titles, so I don't understand why he is in this tournament. My vote goes to Jun

As I've stated numerous times and as was voted by the forum, only NWA, WCW, TNA, WWE, and ECW titles were classified as world titles hence all the AWA champs in this tourney.

Can't say I know who Jun Akiyama is so despite not really caring much for Nick went with him.
