Crazy close because I'm a huge mark for Daniels, especially at the moment, but Hurricane wins it for me.

Found Hurricane very entertaining, but went with Daniels for his range and being a sinister heel.

Hurricane?

A goofy catchphrase shouldn't deem anyone a great promo.

Hurricane had some great promos during his stint. And The Rock and Jericho made careers off of silly catchphrases. Hurricane gets my vote Daniels has yet to entertain me verbally.

Went with Hurricane as he just entertained me more on the mic than Chris.

They also were able to get over those silly catchphrases and get themselves into a mainevent capacity of of those cathphrases, Hurricane didn't do either. He was comedic fodder for The Rock.

I remember him in more than a few main events. Lets not kid ourselves the reason Hurricane didn't become a main eventer was his size. He was pretty damn small and ring skills nor mic skills would have changed his spot on the card at that point in time. His ability to be in as main events as he was is pretty incredible in itself.

Maineventing what? A Raw?

Doing some dumb shit with Austin and Rock doesn't make him anything more than Santino of of the early 00s, it wasn't his size that did him in. He couldn't get anywhere, mostly because he wasn't very good outside of that Hurricane gimmick and the fact that he was riding pals with Jeff Hardy who burned some bridges back then, he was lucky to have a job as long as he did.
