Who can defeat Andre the Giant?

[Papa Pillman]

The Ram vs. Bonesaw McGraw in a Last Man Standing (because the other guy had a heart attack) Match.

Let's see Savage do the RamJam while having a coronary.

If you insist:

Cold.

I'll admit to having thought about it first, but fuck if the setup wasn't too perfect.

Why not name this "Guys who were a bigger star than Andre" if that's the only quality worthy of going over him. It isn't hard to unhinge that kind of 'logic'. Is it a one-off match from two guys who didn't even occupy the Earth at the same time? Is it a match with the informed history of said competitors? Is it a gimmick match? Do they have experience in gimmick matches? Does the match favor either competitor? What about respect of their peers compared to success? Does a short period of mega-booking outweigh a longer period of merely good booking? If you were to reduce every match to the base element of star power, the WZT would be so fucking boring.

As it stands, in this tournament you can make a case as for why Shelton Benjamin would go over Harley Race, and it's just as legitimate as any opposing.

People say this every year. And yet it took 6 just for Hogan to win the damn thing. I could name 16 wrestlers, all of whom would be candidates to be the "greatest of all time" based on the drawing power/legacy/accolades criteria we use. It's just that debating becomes so tedious that we just give up. Hogan versus Ed Lewis you say? Fuck that, lets just vote Taker.

But if this tournament holds any mock legitimacy at all debating should be that tedious. If not we should just have a big kayfabe based tournament. I could probably get Khali to the gimmick rounds.
