Round 1, Day 6, Los Angeles, CA

[Mighty NorCal]

I really like Jamie Noble. The fact that people are actually voting for Jannety is beyond me totally. I wish, really wish, they would push him to better than this whack ass feud with fuckin palumbo. Maybe they will, as he is truly one of the more talented guys on the roster. Janetty on the other hand, was garbage.

 

[HBK-aholic]

Jannety had a few good matches, but I agree the only reasons he is this well known at all is because of his tag teaming with Shawn, and how Shawn turned on him. I think that's the main reason people voted for him.

Jamie Noble had the potential to be a really good wrestler, but he didn't seem to get it over with the fans, which ultimately is the hardest job. It may be to do with the gimmick he was under, I personally didn't like it, and it seems many others didn't as well.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

wow, the fact that 7 people straight up voted for dykstra shows how blindly ignorant some this Cena hatred stuff is. Kenny dykstra fuckin SUCKS. He can do a leg drop from the top rope. fuckin wow. So can Cena. Its one of his "five moves" remember? Dykstra is ass. Cena has been the WWE champion for the better part of the last three years, and has main evented what looks to be 4 straight WMs. Not even Xfear could vote against Cena in this for fucks sake.

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Man, when xfear and I agree, we're usually spot on. When we disagree, we couldn't be more separate. THIS is one of those times.

I am a HUGE Jannetty mark. Even Michaels himself said that Jannetty had more natural talent than he did, and his downfall was his lack of maturity. It could have easilly happened another way had Marty been a little more focused, but the man was damn talented.

Noble is a good wrestler, and I'd love to see this match. But I am in Marty's corner 100%.

Noble is so much better than Jannetty it isn't funny. Noble could single handedly carry the cruiserweight division to some semblence of glory if the WWE let him do it. He is that damned good. Jannetty is famous for tagging with HBK and getting kicked through a window. As well as being a tremendous fuck up when it comes to chances.

Im voting for Cena on the basis that what has his opponent done yet. Kenny is 20/21 right now he has time on his side. Not many Are called up to the WWE at 19. that is fairly impressive. But Cena has big match experience and can just 5 move of Doom a win. with a WTFU!.

 

[Pickle]

Yeah, there is no way people should be voting Dykstra. Most of the IWC hated the Spirit Squad, and that's when Dykstra had his most success and was still considered a rising star. He hasn't impressed me at all in the last year, while Cena can at least pull off an above-average match Every so often.
That said, my vote accidentaly went to Dykstra because at the time of voting I was thinking "Who the fuck would vote for Kenny Dykstra", causing me to absent mindedly click his name.

 

[Shocky]

The question is, does thie match go long enough for Buff to pop his calf implants. Who in the hell gets calf implatns, utter douchebag. Buff Bagwell is terrible and Sting is a legend in the business, this is a no contest what so ever.

 

[Shocky]

Marty Jannetty is freaking terrible. Has he had a good match outside of the name Shawn Michaels on the other side of the vs.? The guy is only known today because he happened to be the guy that tagged with Shawn Michaels in the early part of his career.

Jamie Noble reminds me so much of a younger smaller Chris Benoit. The guy can flat out go. The only thing that is going to hurt him, and it does, is his stature. The guy is short, very short, and without the gimmick of wearing a mask, he is often looked over.

 

[Shocky]

Dykstra hasn't done anything to justify 7 votes. The blind Cena hatred is just stupid, almost as bad as the blind Hogan hating. Cena is so much better then Dykstra it's ridiculous. Dysktra is young, yes, but that doesn't mean anything. Ask me in ten years if Dysktra isn't shown the pink slip after this year.

 

[Shocky]

Finlay has been a guy I have kept my eye on since he was in WCW. There was something about the guy that got me hooked. He is solid in the ring, and like Jake said, he's in that 50 year old range. The guy will never be booked properly. Finlay should destroy Rave without breaking a sweat.

 

[Shocky]

While I don't believe that Samoa Joe is nearly as good as the IWC makes him out to be, he certainly is capable of literally killing Davari. Davari is terrible. The only thing he has done is his career is be a mouth piece to another over rated wrestler, Muhammad Hassan. Joe should destroy him fairly quickly.

 

[Shocky]

Man, this sucks, because I am a big Valentine fan. I'm glad to see that old school is being represented with Lou Thesz. The guy was a bad ass for his time. As said, he was the predecessor that laid the ground work for guys like Race, Sammartino, Graham, Flair, etc... Valentine is damn good for a second generatino wrestler, but he's wrestling a guy that practically is the mold for what wrestling is today.

 

[IrishCanadian25]

I am proud to carry the Jannetty torch all by myself. Let my pride hold up my arm when it becomes fatigued. He's just one of those guys I have always believed in and support and respect for his natural talent. He's a lot better than many of his post-Michaels matches would lead anyone to think, and he did a good spot with Bam Bam Bigelow the week after winning the Intercontinental Title.

It was when WWE threw him to Ludvig Borga that things came crashing to a halt. Trying to make the big uber heel out of Borga, Jannetty was to him what Virgil was to Yokozuna - the feeder at a PPV with a legit background. When Borga didn't pan out, Jannetty's career had already been squandered.

Marty didn't put on bad matches in WCW, but again they fed him to top starts as a glorified jobber and made him come out to the old Stunning Steve Austin / Hollywood Blondes music. Terrible.

I will always be on Marty's side. And according to the votes that is not a terrible thing.

 

[Shocky]

Gag me, Cody fucking Rhodes, Seriously, Cody Rhodes, the guy that has been wrestling professionally less then a year or two. The guy is too fucking green to make a rookies tournament. Jake the Snake Roberts is going to kill Cody and the Snake is going to eat the body.

 

[Shocky]

I have to go with McGuinness. I enjoyed the hell out of Al Snow in ECW, but he never managed to get to the next level. You really thought the guy was going to be something after the "Head" stuff, but it never panned out. Nigel on the other hand is a bad ass wrestler. I think this is going to be a better match then what most people would think.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Je-e-esus, this one is close, huh? Quite honestly, I've never thought of Snow as underrated. Sure, he has more talent than has been displayed to the mainstream, but I don't think he was ever anything special.

Nigel, on the other hand, is one of my favourite wrestlers right now. In the ring, he'd tear Al Snow apart. My vote goes to the ROH Champion.

 

[HBK-aholic]

Nigel McGuinness; I'm trying to put a face to the name. Is he the English guy? I think he had something to do with Ohio Valley Wrestling.. Anyway correct me if I'm mistaken.

I've going to go for Al Snow, simply because I know who he is Lol. and I was always a fan of the head. He has very limited wrestling ability but he was always great in hardcore matches. And I think there was something more in him that we never got to see, and I'd like him to have had a few matches where that came out a lot more.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Like has been said, if you don't know who someone is either don't vote or do research. Nigel McGuinness, for your information, is the current Ring of Honor World Champion (I'm not an ROH mark, why does everyone keep presuming that? I have more WWE DVDs than ROH ones) and yes, he is English.

I think that while Al Snow is a feasible competitor to McGuinness, in a one-on-one match he'd be pretty dominated and/or outdone, particularly with non-hardcore rules in effect. Besides, McGuinness is no wimp either way.

 

[RKO Orton]

Kenny Dykstra hasn't proved anything to anyone yet. His time in the spotlight was with the Spirit Squad and that's saying something. He lacks charisma and needs to work on his stuff down in OVW. Cena can at least deliver a good match once in a great while if he's with the right opponent. Dykstra, on the other hand, is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Cena wins easily.
