For those of you who don't know who Perro Aguayo is, he might well be the greatest rudo in Lucha history. El Santo's final rival, he is the definition of someone you pay your money to see lose. He's like a man possessed in the ring, using natural power and gritty brawling to overwhelm and conquer adversaries. He's terrific.

And yet I voted for Daniel Bryan. Why? He was the greatest in-ring performer of his era, mixing and matching his style versus a plethora of different opponents. He went from king of the indies to main event of WrestleMania, overcoming all obstacles in his way...that was until his major injuries and untimely retirement.

Bryan's legacy will come into sharper focus in due course and he will be celebrated the way he should. In the meantime, he surpasses Aguayo.

Perro Aguayo was most certainly over, but (from what I've seen) he would lose track of the script a lot during his matches and put a huge burden on his opponent and the ref to get things back on track. He was great, but I compare him to Ron Garvin in terms of comparable greatness.

Daniel Bryan was damn inspiring and he owned one of the greatest WrestleMania's of all time. He was great, and I compare him to Shawn Michaels in terms of comparable greatness.

Vote DB.

Perro Aguayo was certainly a big deal, but in most encounters I'm aware of he was a total piece of shit that lost at the end. A bit like the sort of people that Bryan was beating at his peak. Bryan never got to show what he could do with a long run at the top, but to get there was remarkable and should see him through.

I'm voting Daniel Bryan as he was the source of the greatest wrestling feud ever for me. Some might disagree but he's a living legend for me. He inspired me in my life when I was down. An inspiration is all you need the most at times which are bad for you. Authority Vs. Daniel Bryan will always remain a diamond/spectacle in my heart.
