EXCELLENT matchup here pits Mexican high flying icon Rey Mysterio, Jr. against a high flyer from the previous generation turned absolute nutcase, the late, great Brian Pillman. As a somewhat wise philosopher once said, SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE!





Voting closes on Monday at 11:59 EST.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I never really saw much of Pillman's career. Rey gets my vote. He was the reason I started watching the WCW Cruiser Division and he has successfully broken the cruiser celing and become a legit Main Event player in the WWE. Who would have guesses a runt like him would be World Champion? Way to go Rey.

Rey was so over that Vince had no choice but to put him in the ME... that's amazing.

[Mikey]

I'm sorry. Rey's great, but he has nothing on his resume that touches the Hollywood Blondes.

[Batman]

I love Mysterio, but I know he has his flaws.

I started watching wrestling too recently and missed Pillman's career.

What should I watch that might sway me to vote for him?

Crazy White Guy > Short Mexican

BTW, the above is true even with the first adjectives removed.

God, another tough one. Think I'm going with Pillman. Loved him as a kid and while I respect Mysterio for all his accomplishments, he's never really been anything special to me.

[gooker]

The main part of Pillman's career that I paid a lot of attention to was the end, which sucks for him as far him getting my vote. I know he was beyond awesome, I just never watched WCW when he was at his best. Even though I'm really bored of Mysterio now, he can still put on a great match and has been involved in some great ones in his career. I've got to go with him.

The Shaver almost kinda nailed it.

Vince had to put over Rey. Them mexicans are startin' to take over ev'rything.


Pillman was great.

I'm assuming Lucky voted for the minority.

All I'm going to say is, "I respect you bookerman."

She doesn't shave, she waxes but this is still funny.

I'm still confused as to whether that whole thing was a work or a shoot, and I have a feeling I'm not the only one. As a fan or anyone inside the business. That shit was just beyond crazy. Early '96 Pillman - mind you, this is after he peaked as a worker - was just awesome.

11 of you are idiots.

[DevSop]

Work that turned into a shoot because WCW didn't know how to renew contracts and let Pillman's lapse so he became a legit free-agent.

Pretty sure I know how FF would vote here.

Only this one:



Possibly the greatest debut ever.

[Lucky]

I still can't decide. Love Rey. Love Pillman. I haven't read any of this past day's posts before this page but I presume the arguments made have been:

1) Pillman was fucking insane and the Sullivan thing/the Gun remains one of the coolest things ever.
2) Rey owned the CW division and helped change wrestling.
3) Pillman and Austin were incredible and he was great well before he became the Loose Cannon.
4) Tex and Creepy say racist shit.

Doesn't matter because I don't need arguments for either guy. I know them and love them. I just have to decide.

I also said stuff about midgets.

[creepy]

I just don't like Peurto Ricans. The blacks, hispanics, orientals, poles, jews, arabs, etc... are all good.


But fuck those freakin' Ricans.
