Oh dear.
Agility? Moveset? Are you sure we are talking about HBK? 95% of the wrestlers can do what he does in the ring in terms of agility and moveset. That's not going to convince me that he'll win.
Let's put that theory to the test. By saying 95% can match what he does, that means if I can find 6 or more wrestlers out of 100 that can't match him, you're wrong. Let's take at 100 of the wrestlers in this tournament and see if we can find 6 who are less agile than Shawn.
Batista
Ken Shamrock
Raven
Yokozuna
Big Show
Stan Hansen
Bruiser Brody
Lex Luger
Billy Graham
Abdullah the Butcher
Big Daddy
Dusty Rhodes
Goldberg
Andre the Giant
Ultimate Warrior
Giant Baba
Nikita Koloff
I'll stop there without even getting into ECW and International for you as Shawn is more agile and has a deeper moveset than all of those wrestlers by far. Suggesting that 95% of wrestlers can match Shawn in agility is nonsense. We'll also ignore the fact that almost every wrestler of average size can do just about every move in existence, but that has nothing to do with wrestling skill whatsoever. It falls into the same argument of "Cena Sucks he only knows five moves."
This sort of statement completely misses the point of the entire tournament. What you just said is "well I disagree with what you said but I'm too lazy and/or dense to actually say why so there." If you think Shawn is worse, explain why. That's the point of this thing.
You know it makes it easier for Masahiro, too. Just throwing that out there.
You know what makes it easier for Shawn? Experience in brawling and hardcore matches, such as the street fight against Diesel at In Your House 7, the first Cell match at Badd Blood In Your House, the no holds barred match with HHH at Summerslam 2002 and the first elimination chamber, all of which Shawn won.
Now, what I'd like to hear from you
and only you is Chono's experience in hardcore/weapons based matches. I want to see exactly how much you know about Chono's career. This should be entertaining.
Technical skill isn't going to help him when he gets bashed in the face.
This is the other stupid idea that comes up every year. For some reason, people think wrestlers are just going to stand there while someone else hits them. Since we've already established that Shawn is more agile than a good deal of wrestlers in this tournament, it's safe to assume that he's going to move. Why you think Shawn is going to stand there and get hit with a Mafia Kick is beyond me, but then again most of the stupid things you say are beyond me.
