PentaGOAT making it all the way to the quarterfinals

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Pentagon is just far cooler than The Iceman

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

Dean Malenko had a hot run in WCW, but Pentagon is the coolest mufukka in wrestling in a long ass time

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

Pentagon has reached superstar status on multiple continents while only speaking spanish. Malenko is a top 10 of all time ring technician but Pentagon can go in the ring and has that intangible ring presence you cant teach. His swag exudes tenfold when you see him live too.

This a tough one. I gave the slight 50.1-49.9 edge to Malenko based on wrestling ability but can go with either one. Pentagon prolly top 5 doing it right now. He's had lots of success and hopefully can win the AEW title and have some more championships to add to his name. He does have one of the coolest gimmicks these days even tho I think his character was a bit better in LU. But thats more of how that show was themed that his character did wonders on there. AEW is decent tho and should give him some opportunities to shine. Its surprising that Malenko didn't have that many accomplishments. Don't know if it was politics or being blackballed for size during that era. He should've had more titles.

Who the fukk is Pentagón jr

 

[OmegaK2099]

Malenko vs Rey at Halloween havoc was a dope ass match

 

[Ill-Yaz]

So Triple H has ALREADY crashed out from this tournament but one of these two jokes is going to advance to round 4?
