I'm sure this won't be half as hard for anyone else as it was for me because I'm one of the best Dustin Rhodes fans out there, such a great worker, who even made the Goldust Gimmick a main event threat. I went with Regal however.

It was, I actually decided to go with Rhodes, loved The Natural and really thought he could have went places. Love Regal as much as the next guy but saw more star potential in Rhodes.

Wow this was a tough one, Dustin Rhodes is such an amazing talent with loads of charisma but I just couldn't vote against William Regal. I've always though William Regal deserved a title reign, he's just such an awesome talent and I believe at his age now he still could rock a reign better than most.

This is a tricky one but I think Regal is just overall better. Dustin's Natural gimmick could have took him places but never got a true main event chance.

Tough choice because both are quality wrestlers and the fact that Dustin Rhodes got the Goldust character over is a huge plus in his corner. But Regal is a great inring talent plus he can talk and he would have been a good world champion.

I think both are guys who could have been big but never quite lived up to it. I went Dustin, because when he was good in WCW he was very good.

best matchup of the entire tourney.regal woulda been champ in 08 if he didnt screw it up and dustin easily coulda been a face champion early in his wcw days or garnering massive heat as goldust in the attitude era.i voted regal but im surprised it isnt closer.

Regal has everything needed to be a good heel champ. Besides the Goldust character though Dustin was boring as hell so went with Regal

Dustin but only under Goldust gimmick.

Regal was always pretty bland to me.
