Goldberg would have to finish this match quickto get the win, and against prime 80's Hogan, that just would never happen. To beat Hogan then you needed to pound the crap out of him for a long, long time to wear him down Hogan could wrestle longer, and eventually Goldberg's body just doesn't...

Of course you were making an argument. Just because it was supplemental to something someone else said doesn't make it less of an argument. Your first article is literally just a list of things that have been billed as the 8th Wonder of the World, not a commentary on things that DESERVE to...

That movie hasn't even started production. Nobody is booking a tournament this year based on a biopic that MAY come out in two-three years. This logic is inherently flawed. Cena goes over the man who's career was DESIGNED to give shine to others, at least here in the U.S. of A.

While this entire argument is ridiculous on it's face ("try to find an article on the internet that tries to mock a nickname of a wrestler who died years before the Internet became any kind of popular"), it can also be discredited by Ye Olde Chyna being referred to as the NINTH Wonder of the...

Man, what a battle. In the end it comes down to this for me: If this was how the tournament was booked, and we ended up here with this final, who would be booked to win? The answer is John Cena. They are in similar stratospheres in terms of career, with difference existing both for and...

Since the vote is close, I will add my written vote for Cena. I like Austin, I have more history with him as a fan, even going back to his "Stunning" Steve days in WCW. But Cena has been the top dog for a LOT longer and is bigger and more athletic. He's also a lot fresher coming off his...

I voted Andre, even though the Rock is my second favorite performer of all time. That's just the way it would be booked. Andre, the unstoppable force would beat a very game Rocky. And he would only have to climb like 3 rungs of the ladder anyway. Also, Andre was in the Princess Bride, my...

This was a tough one. In the end I went with Harley. I almost immediately second guessed my vote, but it's in already, haha. Race can be viewed as a sort of proto-Austin in a lot of ways/attitude. And we all remember what happened between Austin and Hart in a gimmick match. I think this a...

The length of time here works in Savage's favor (no matter the stip, Goldberg just came out of a match with prime Hulk Hogan while Savage just came out of a match with Daniel Bryan), the willingness to push themselves to the brink works in Savage's favor, the legacy works in Savage's favor...so...

This is a match between the biggest star in history vs. a flash in the pan. This is a stipulation that favors technical wrestling, and only one of these guys has that in his repertoire. Hogan has these abilities, you can go watch him work in Japan. Goldberg doesn't. People act like Goldberg...

Hogan in a wash. Prime Hogan had a lot technical style that he used when he was in Japan, he just didn't use it here because he didn't need it. Now, the match calls for it, and Hogan has the technical skills that Goldberg never has had. This match would take a lot of time and intense physical...

Dusty is a fantastic figure in wrestling history, but he's a little out of his depth here. Santo is the biggest star in all of Mexican history. Dusty's true prime was in the Florida territory days. This match, however, will be held in Austin freaking Texas. That's pretty close to the border...

Can we talk about how in the blue hell Hogan ended up as a 2 seed in this tournament? How is that possible? In this match, it's Hogan in a squash. Owen would sell his ass off, but he would be unlikely to get much offense in. Maybe he takes the advantage for a bit with a foreign object hidden...

Yes. Ultimate Warrior is "way out of his league" against a guy who could best be described as "poor man's Chris Jericho". Ultimate Warrior, the guy who's prime included him pinning HULK EFFING HOGAN AT WRESTLEMANIA, is out of his league against a man who's greatest career moments happened in...

As an addendum to my prior post, use it as a thought exercise. If we were to simply switch both wrestlers into each other's time periods. Who would be more successful? Rude would have been a multiple time world champ and Edge would have been below where Rude was in the 80's, probably shoved...
