How is this difficult? This isn't better wrestler it's better champ. Studd was a credible heel that had the look and was average on the mic. Juvi was a spot monkey that couldn't speak english. Don't get me wrong I liked Juvi but come on.

Easily went with Studd. Liked Juvi in WCW, but didn't see him anymore than a Cruiserweight guy. Studd was a very underrated big man who could get it done in the ring. Surprised he wasn't a champ during the 80s, he had the look.

Juvi was great in the CW division, but I don't think he could of ever broken out to that next level.

Studd in the early 80's was one of the top heels in the WWF, and had a long top of the card feud with Andre and I think he may of even had a few title matches with Hogan, but I don't remember for sure. Really he was closer to being a world champ than prob a lot of guys in the tourney and way closer than Juvi ever was.

Once again, does it matter that they were close to the title or not?

Yes... because the contest is to do with the fact that they should have been champion. Its not a whos your fave wrestler contest. If it was that, I would have gone with Juvy but it's Studd.

Big John Studd for me, I just couldn't see Juvi as a World Champ.

I personally did find this to be a tough choice, both men were good in their respected categories, John Studd was great in his time but I really feel Juvi had the skills and the look to be a World Champion if given the proper push. Juvi gets my vote.

Juvi is one of the biggest examples of wasted talents in recent years. This was close for me, because both were great in their own styles, but neither were maybe ever going to be good enough to be main eventers. I went with Studd because I think he did more to get over within his limtied talent and was more sucessful than Juvi in his.
