Well, allow myself to introduce...myself.
First of all, I am the new member being discussed. Second of all, I want to point this out.
After endless debate with a certain newly registered poster who will go unnamed on this YouTube page
I know it's a crazy question but this slyfox guy just won't give it up
I would think that most people would read your second quote and figure out who I am, but that is fine. I have no problem with admitting this.
I also want to say that this poll being created was my idea. I created this on another forum I posted on, and currently the poll stands at 54 votes for Danielson and 40 votes for Cena. And considering how smark heavy most wrestling forums tend to be, I think the fact that John Cena has received 38% of the vote and Danielson has received 50% of the vote (there were two other options for people who didn't want to compare), speaks very highly of Cena's work.
Furthermore, I want to point out that the initial introduction to the topic is completely biased and insinuates that it is ludicrous to assume Cena is the better wrestler. I request that the threadstarter try to revise his initial post or two to present an unfair introduction to the thread. For example...here is how I did it.
me said:
Simple question. Who is the better professional wrestler and why do you think so? Keep in mind, I am not referring strictly to in-ring skills, but to all the attributes of what makes a great wrestler, which includes off-screen stuff as well.
So, who is the better professional wrestler? Bryan Danielson or John Cena.
Now, obviously this could be quite a touchy subject as both men elicit strong reactions from many people. Please try and keep the debate (which I realize may be heated) at the very least civil, and please post relevant posts and not just "Cena sucks because Vince is shoving him down our throats" or "Danielson sucks because ROH is nothing but garbage". Debate intelligently.
Now, obviously, I cannot force anyone to change their post, and it is merely a request, but I think it causes a question in the validity of said poll for the creater of the poll (who is also a mod, from my understanding), to begin it by claiming it is ludicrous to vote for Cena. But, that is only a recommendation. Obviously, I did not create this poll, so take it for what it's worth. I just think it would help to strengthen the validity of this poll.
Now, why do I think John Cena is a professional wrestler?
me said:
For me personally, Cena puts on very good matches, is a good actor (wrestling, not movie), has promo versatility and obviously works hard in and out of the ring and loves the business. Combine that with the fact that he makes money and is a MUCH bigger draw than Danielson, my vote goes to Cena.
Remember, being a great professional wrestler is not just about what happens inside the ring. It includes outside of the ring stuff as well, and also off the camera stuff. Stuff like moneymaking and drawing cannot be ignored when gauging the quality of a professional wrestler. Because, in the end, the wrestling business is all about making money. If a wrestling company does not make money, they don't exist. So, making money is part of what makes a good professional wrestler as well.
So, combine the fact that Cena is very clearly a bigger moneymaker than Danielson, and his out of ring, on-camera ability is good, and the fact that his in-ring ability, while probably not as good as Danielson's, but still good nonetheless, says to me that Cena is a better professional wrestler.
On a side note, I realize that I have 5 posts, but I assure you, I am not trolling. On the other forums I post at, I have over 3000 posts since joining in June of 2006, without one warning, and have several rep bars. I do not know if linking or even mentioning the name of that forum is allowed here, so I will not do that, unless informed I may do so. However, if you go to the Youtube video that is provided in the opening post, you can find me, and I mention the forum there.
Did you catch the guy's age? Or maybe he's just a WWE mark. Perhaps he only enhjoys the WWE style. And perhaps his brain cant handle more than 20 minute match's.
Not true. I actually prefer TNA over the WWE, and have so since I first started TNA. I also enjoyed, as strange as it may seem, the WCW more in the early 90s, the WWF more in the mid 90s (NWO reign), and WCW more in the last 90s until they closed.
I also have a small collection of puroresu matches, of which I have been told by a VERY knowledgeable poster on the subject, are some of the top puro matches of the 1990s. I also enjoy watching them as well.
Also, I am 22 years old.
Point being, it is not the WWE style I enjoy. I enjoy all styles. Whether it be technical, lucha, brawling (like Cena), or whatever else.
The guy is in his twenties or thirties I believe because he said he was around in the NWA territories days. He's very intelligent, I'll give him that, and he knows his wrestling history.
I do appreciate the compliment, and I must say that you are definitely more of a challenge than I thought you were to debate against lol. Kudos to you as well.
On a side note: I realize that I registered on this forum in less than optimal conditions, considering I had one of the mods completely pissed off at me before I even joined. Generally, that is not a good thing. However, it is debate nothing more. I love to argue and debate, and do so with everything I have, but it is nothing personal.
