Loss

If you still want to vote on work, feel free. Everyone is going to have their own criteria, apparently.

Shawn refuses to turn heel because of his religious beliefs, which is a shame, because he'd be far more interesting right now if he were playing that role. That said, Undertaker has been wrestling less since 2003, and it's nice to see that they've found a new upper card veteran who's a better worker.

Shawn Michaels Slaughter had a big run in 1991, but it fizzled out as soon as the Gulf War ended, and he was a dead fish after that. Michaels has had time on top, some great matches and has headlined some of the biggest shows in company history.

1-2-3 Kid/X-Pac Was a great worker from 1993-1996, came back and was briefly resurgent in 1998 as well. The angle with Razor in '93 is one of the most remembered things of the time period, he has the great Action Zone tag and title challenge to Bret under his belt and when he came in, no one else in the US was doing those daredevil moves. He was the Jeff Hardy of his day, only a far more complete wrestler.

Ted DiBiase DiBiase was almost always in the top angle or the second from the top angle from 1988-1991, and his house show run with Savage in '88 is good stuff. The twin ref angle he played a part in in '88 that cost Hogan the title is probably the most memorable angle of the 80s, or damn near close. Sorry, Tully.

The Rock It's not even close.

HHH I feel horrible making that vote, but HHH's best in the company is far superior to Rude's best. He's also had over a half decade as the top star now. I think Rude, at his peak, was the better worker by a landslide, but HHH's impact in WWE has been bigger. I want Rude to do well in this tournament though, so if he loses, maybe he'll have better luck in the other bracket.

Rey Misterio Jr Tons of guys had big runs with Hogan, but the key was how successful you could be without him. Orndorff's other programs in the company never caught fire, and Rey has had some of the best matches of the past five years since debuting and he's a huge merchandise draw.

Eddy Guerrero Eddy is someone I hope makes it far in this tournament. He was the biggest draw in the company in 2004, and also the best worker. Even when he was going through a slump, he could outwork most of the roster.

Marty Jannetty Had a great run with Shawn Michaels in the Rockers and had some very good matches as a singles wrestler as well. HTM was the bigger draw, no question, but since this is a fantasy tournament, I say let the most talented wrestlers shine for once.

After we finish first-round voting, we'll start on this bracket. I'll be updating this one as the results continue to come in.

This will probably spawn HHH's next title shot and Chris Jericho's heel turn, both somewhere along the way.

I've seen Luger work. I've also seen Luger dog it, big time, on far more occasions. You are right that there is sort of a double standard there. I think Luger had better matches with Flair.

At some point, yes.
