No one should vote for Hawk here. No one. Not even if you're related to him. Randy Savage is one of the best of all time. Hawk, by himself, doesn't even come close.

Vote Savage.

Randy Savage goes over here pretty easily. It would be akin to one of those 5 min nothing matches we get on Raw all the time.

 

[Bernkastel]

I don't understand why Hawk is in this tournament. The Road Warriors as a team are comparable to Randy Savage. Arguably even greater. But by himself Hawk was nothing special. I recall a couple of matches with Flair for the NWA world title, which of course Hawk never won, but not much else. Hawk was a tag team star first and a singles star second. As a singles performer Savage had everything over Hawk.

It's a no brainer. Vote Randy Savage.

A tag team specialist against one of the all time greatest singles wrestlers.

Randy wins this in a few minutes. It feels bad saying a legend like Hawk gets squashed but this tournament is for the best singles wrestlers of all time, and in a 1-1 match, Savage blows Hawky away.

Hawk was a lot better than the people on this thread are giving him credit for, and one of the most popular wrestlers at the most popular times in wrestling. Yes, he was primarily a tag guy, but he had quite a lot of success in the singles division and hardly ever lost one on one matches. That being said, he's up against one of the all time greats in Savage, and I can't see any way that he is better than him, so Savage wins.

 

[ShinChan]

One of the greatest tag team wrestler Hawk VS a great singles competitor in Randy Savage.

I still love watching Savage's match with Ricky Steamboat at Wrestlemania 3. One of the best old school matches ever. Hawk was in a great tag team but he can't go over Randy Savage in a singles match.

So, Savage.

 

[The Gribbler]

I am a little confused as to why people think Hawk wouldn't be competitive. I mean, he won't win. That's for sure. But Hawk was one of the toughest Motherf***ers to walk into a ring. And the LOD were pretty well protected during their run, as I understand it at least.

Macho Man, a singles wrestling legend gets the win for sure, but just because someone is a tag team legend doesn't mean they can't at least have a competitive showing.

 

[Celtic Tiger]

Savage indeed will take this one... But Hawk would give him a match thats for sure. He was a power house and was one legitimate tough SOB. I am shocked Hawk is in this but savage advances...

 

[Lowdown]

Hawk was a good tag team specialist, and more physically imposing, but this isn't a contest. Savage is an all around performer, and no slouch strength wise. Put them in a 20 minute match and Macho Man will soundly defeat him.
