    Undertaker.

    Tough one to call. Both men have had stand out matches, rivalries and longevity but Taker just shades it for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭Chuck Noland


    Missed all today’s action. Austin going out was a shock!

    HBK here for me


  • Registered Users Posts: 908 ✭✭✭Jayesdiem


    Undertaker

    Christ, that's a tough one.

    I had to flip a coin. It was tails.


    The Sexy Boy wins.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,056 ✭✭✭Too Tough To Die


    HBK. The best to ever do it. Could have a great match with anyone. Always found taker a little one dimensional.

    Why no mention of Goldust or his dad Dusty Rhodes?

    Undertaker, the tombstone, and later the last ride were devastating,


    Sweet chin music is a girls move.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,293 ✭✭✭Reberetta


    HBK for his legendary overselling against the Hulkster.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Undertaker buries Shawn Michaels. Who's he gonna meet in the final? Stay tuned, that'll be decided next.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Mankind

    Two great wrestlers. Either could win it out for me.

    I'll go HBK just to make it a contest

    Macho man randy savage. Mankind transcended multiple eras, but macho man was everything that was brilliant about the 90s


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭Nunu


    Can’t believe I’m saying this but Mankind.

    Mainly because Hell in a Cell revisited is just too tasty a finale.

    I will never ever forget watching that live. Possibly the most engrossing head in hands entertainment broadcast I’ve ever witnessed.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,045 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Mankind.

    How Savage beat Austin is just a crazy travesty.

    Mankind had the better career, was the better worker, cut a better promo (as three different characters, four including Foley)

    Undertaker VS Mankind was a fantastic feud and would be a fantastic final.

    Mrs Foley's Baby Boy!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,870 ✭✭✭Sultan of Bling


    Randy Savage all the way.

    The flying elbow and the beautiful sidekick.

    Oh miss Elizabeth


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,870 ✭✭✭Sultan of Bling


    HBK

    Tough call but it's just a personal preference. Just enjoyed watching him more.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,580 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Mankind, mainly because his daughter is a beautiful specimen


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Mankind. Aside from maybe commentary, I cannot think of a single facet of wrestling in which Macho Man was better.


    And I want to annoy the Macho Men.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,429 ✭✭✭Wuff Wuff


    Mankind


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Mankind, for reasons given in an earlier round, plus...


    Undertaker v Mankind final!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,062 ✭✭✭wrestlemaniac


    Mankind and all his various incarnations trumps Macho man

    Macho Man trying to pin Yoko at the conclusion of the 1993 Rumble is still some funny shít almost 30 years later.




  • Posts: 14,344 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Mankind for me, too. Much more versatile a character. Could be scary and funny, even in the same promo.


    Never forget his Orton 'spit' promo (skip to about 5 mins)

  • Registered Users Posts: 13,359 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Macho man for me. He had it all, the look, the entrence, promo, worker. Mankind was great also but he worked with great opponents. Macho man at his peak was just so much better.

    Macho man

    Looks like it's a Hell in a cell final folks!


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    It comes down to these two.

    But who do you prefer. That's the question. Let this roll til 11PM. Most votes win.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭Chuck Noland


    Taker

    Streaks, Entrances, deadman or biker

    Bearer or Ministry of darkness

    He’s been great

    Living legend


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,429 ✭✭✭Wuff Wuff


    Taker

    Their fued was great but he edge's it for me


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,045 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Hmmmm...

    I think I have to vote for Mankind here.

    Looking back over both careers it's clear Taker went on (and is still doing so) for at least 5 years too long which has sullied his reputation imo.

    Taker was better in the ring

    Mankind by far the better promo

    If you asked me this question around the time of the HBK matches there would only be one winner, and that's Undertaker

    But now....

    I'm going to vote for Mrs Foley's Baby Boy

    Boy that'll put bums on seats ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,359 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Gotta be the Taker. 30+ years and he is still going. He has beat them all, Hogan, Bret, Shawn, Hunter, Damien Demento.

    Great final but easy choice
