Wait, you're expecting anyone to vote agianst davey on his home soil?

Snuka was incredibly popular back in the day, and before I voted in this I hesitated before going for Davey. Had I seen it was in Leeds, it wouldn't have taken as much thought. Bulldog, along with his brother in law, brought American wrestling a mainstream European audience. That's a huge achievement, and he'd win here.

I suppose Bulldog might win due to the location of the match, I guess. And I suppose that's fair [though after participating in this shindig for so many years, I've seen location matter only when it's convenient, so I digress.]

I voted for Snuka, because at his peak during the early to mid 80's he was one of the most popular wrestlers in the world. His matches with Backlund and Piper were classics, and the guy was a great moneymaker. I've recalled Bulldog being mostly a dud in singles action, aside from his IC title win from Bret Hart. Outside of that I cannot recall really anything of note.

Snuka it is, regardless of location.

In this day and age wrestlers lose a lot more on their home turf than win it. Keep in mind Snuka was no small cat, and could more than likely hold his own against Bulldog. I'm rolling with Superfly.
