Big Van Vader

Perhaps the greatest superheavyweight of all time, Vader dominated WCW in the early 90s, having one of the best feuds in company history against the top face, Sting, whom he beat cleanly. He is also a god in Japan, where he has dominated Japanese legends and is the one of the few to hold both the IWGP and AJPW Triple Crown titles. He went to the WWF in the 90s and was launched into the main event, highlighted by main eventing Summerslam 1996 against Shawn Michaels.

Fritz Von Erich

Fritz Von Erich is the patriarch of the legendary Von Erich wrestling family as well as the owner and booker of World Class Championship wrestling. As a wrestler he was a big name in the glory days of St. Louis wrestling. He is also a legend in Japan, filling in after Rikidozan passed away unexpectedly. He is easily more remembered for his children, almost all of which were wrestlers that were showcased in WCCW, where he occasionally wrestled and managed.
 
So in this match, you have Vader, who is the greatest SHW of all time, against a guy best known for his cursed sperm?

It's Vader in a walk, folks, and it's not close. Vader mastered so many different styles of wrestling - technical, power, brawl, high risk, etc. Fritz von Erich is a flash in the pan whose only palpable in-ring success was as part of a minor mid-west territory.

I will gladly concede that there are people in this field who will take Vader out of the tourney eventually (NOT!) but Fritz von Erich is nowhere NEAR that class.
