Winner gets fed to the Rock-Austin winner so it might not matter much. Give the Main Event Mafia its moment though.

Being objective and not nostalgic, Sting had one of the greatest gimmicks and was part of one of the greatest angles ever, but there’s not a single thing that he does better than Angle.

I actually wanted to vote for Sting but this is the hard truth.

:laugh:

I'd have voted against Sting last round had he been against anyone other than Hogan. Never been a fan :yeshrug:

Kurt Angle is in my top 5 for sure though.

Despised enough to get people to chant, "You Suck" during his theme music, and then beloved enough to get people to chant it out of respect. :ld:
He has never and never will mean what Sting did in 97....lol. Michaels, Angle, and Bret can only dream of those kind of pops. Sting was a legit champion before they even gave Taker his gimmick.
