[Keith]

I went McDaniel but this was another close call. On the one hand he had muti-reigns and constantly had great matches and feuds, but then again holding the title five times in four years is a bit too much maybe, but then you have Windham who had a very good reign, but it was just the one and maybe it was not a career defining moment for him. Both were great champions however.

 

[Troy]

This is tough as I don't know that much about either guy. In the end I went with Windham for his one long title reign.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Went Wahoo. He is one of the most underrated talents ever and was a very good athlete for his size and a very believable character. Any more votes in the final three hours, or will we have a tie?

 

[The New F'n Show]

We have a tie, both advance.
