Cena's Little Helper
Mid-Card Championship Winner
Philly is without a doubt a WWE stronghold, but lets say its not just to entertain you here.
OK so Philadelphia is a smark stronghold sure a small percentage of Smarks love Puro. You know what an even larger percentage of Smarks love? The Undertaker. Take a look around these forumsand you'll see a large number of the posters here have a deep admiration for the Undertaker. Most if not all of us who post here or even know what a smark is happens to be a smark whether we like it or not. So the smark vote here goes to Undertaker as well.
You have little to no critical thinking skills. Did you ever think to put two and two together instead of just "entertaining" Thriller? Thriller has factual evidence to back his claim, you have nothing (and you've used nothing substantive to back up your claims throughout this thread). Let me give you a hint (through a question) to come to the conclusion that everybody already has come to: What are the two most significant wrestling promotions ever to be based out of Philadelphia?
You're right, I'll never say that 'Taker was a bigger draw than Cena, however, I know that when 'Taker goes to places like Japan, he is one of the WWE's biggest selling points. So along with Misawa, we know that 'Taker can draw in Japan. Do we know that Misawa can draw in America?
Also, Misawa was the top draw in Japan for what? A decade? 'Taker has been routinely one of the top 3 draws for the WWE for much longer than that and again, they did and do international tours all of the time. So really, who drew more money? Misawa who has never left Japan or 'Taker, who has been a major draw all over the world?
Someone already called your claim into question and answered it well. I just saw it so I've edited this part out.
Look, I cannot talk about Misawa in depth, I've read all I've read about him (here and in other pages) and I think I pretty much know a good amount about him, enough to know that in my opinion, he is no Phenom. I'm sorry, Echelon, but to be fair to you, you singlehandedly made me think about my decision in the poll, and that's commendable, seeing as I want Taker to win the whole damn thing! BUT, my vote goes to the Undertaker...why? Many reasons....
@Echelon - To argue who is in fact a bigger draw I've decided to do so research and look into some things. These things are attendance numbers.
Now I know that Misawa has sold out Budokan Hall a butt load of times, I can see that so what I'm going to do is a little bit of math here. Now Misawa has only done better than 16,300 fans attendance wise twice in his career, Showdown at the Egg on May 1, 98 and May 2 99 for the Baba Memorial Show. Now I don't like to often count memorial shows as often the deceased draws but for arguments sake I will.
This is just flat-out wrong. What the fuck are you looking at statistics-wise? Either you're intentionally leaving facts out to bolster your claim or you're an idiot. I can tell from your posts that you're not an idiot so you've lost your credibility by failing to look at things objectively.
Ech totally has a hard on for Japanese wrestling, but I still love him.
I'm going to go and read your posts to see how shit your taste is in other things since you've just called Echelon's appreciation into question without so much as a reason to do so.
I mean I average a 3.0 as an engineering major at a top 20 school, what can you say for yourself?
No you don't.
