TULLY BLANCHARD vs. RICKY STEAMBOAT

When it comes to in-ring work, these two guys are both measuring sticks. Despite having a more famed body of work, Steamboat isn’t promised anything going into a huge clash with a former Horseman and one of the finest tag teamers of all-time!​

Steamer, no knock on Blanchard but The Dragon had some of the greatest in history under his run.

Tully can't touch The Trilogy unfortunately. Vote is for Steamboat.

I badly wanted to vote Tully, but I feel Ricky had so much more in the way of accomplishments and matches.

I love Blanchard too, but I'm going for Steamboat here.

Oh and in case anyone wants it, there's actually a fourth match from that "trilogy" in '89 from a house show that may just be the best one of them all. I'll upload it here in a couple of days.

Steamboat, when I saw he won the "Chi Town Rumble" and took the title from Flair, it was before I could watch WCW on a regular basis, so I got all my info through PWI... but to see him get that even for me as a fan back then set a standard... Steamboat gets my win hands down!

I am gonna vote for Tully because he had more charisma and was a tad bit more of a total package...but its razor thin

There's at least two-three other matches from 1989 that have slowly leaked online.

Seems like the easy answer is Steamboat since Tully's time in "WCW" was technically limited to just Slamboree 1994.
