I'm going to be voting this year specifically to the two biggest draws of the wrestling world not names Hulk Hogan or Steve Austin. Picking those two gives me no challenge; I'm going with the men that revolutionized the business in Andre the Giant, and the greatest NWA Champion of all time, Harley Race.
Race last year got so close, losing to eventual champion Bret Hart by some bullshit matter in a Dumpster match. Matches where the person has to stuff the other person in something are the play thing of heels: That should have been Harley's match. He won't go down without a fight, and is basically Triple H, except with better promo skills, better working skills, more experience, better title reigns, and better drawing skills. So, in a word; better.
Andre, on the other hand, was undefeated fifteen years. Widely known as the most respected man in the business, and really started to make pro wrestling a national name, long before Hogan. These two get eliminated, over my dead body.
