As of posting this, I haven't voted. Way too close. Both were amazing in the ring, but saddled with gimmicks that would not have been world champions, especially the Rooster. I'm leaning towards Rotunda at the moment, but man am I a Terry Taylor fan. Not voting until I can decide. Maybe someone will post something to help me decide.

Exactly how I felt. After a ton of debate went with Taylor. If you take the Rooster gimmick out he was gold. His 80's work is sensational and even even do alright as The Taylor Made Man which was also a joke of gimmick. Rotunda was amazing though and made the I.R.S and Wallstreet gimmicks work but Taylor was just overall better for me.

terry taylor took the worst gimmick ever and did a little something with it.if they woulda gave him the mr.perfect gimmick he coulda done just as good as hennig did with it.terry had all the talent ,charisma of a main event guy.

Taylor gets my vote in this

 

[Canadian Pothead]

I went with Mike Rotunda, I wasn't as big of a fan of Taylor as I was of Rotunda.

 

[AZUCAR!]

IRS/Mr. Wallstreet

 

[Chris]

Went ahead and went with Taylor. I think he had all the makings of a great babyface champion.

 

[Heisenberg]

Mike Rotunda for me.

 

[Tapout]

IRS for me. I was always a fan of him. Underrated legend.

 

[PHX]

Went with IRS here

 

[Shaun]

Mike Rotunda sneaks this one for me.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I'm a fan of both guys but I prefer Rounda. His IRS gimmick is great but I actually cared for him more as himself pretty much in NWA. He also accomplished more just being himself than Taylor did.

 

[Keith]

I liked the IRS gimmick, but for me Taylor was easily the better worker, so I went with him.

Disagree that Taylor Made Man was a poor gimmick, it was a great heel role for Taylor and he played it very well, it is just a shame that WCW never got behind it in a big way.

Rotunda by quite a bit.
