Which one of these guys is the bigger star pt. 2

[Peezy_Jenkins]

i wanna say jericho due to crossing over more than the other two

 

[SuperSoaker]

Olympic gold medalist.

Was at the top of two brands

But goddam Eddie is the man!

Kurt Angle is the most decorated:

WWE champion

NJPW (IWGP) champion

TNA champion

So an argument can be made for him

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

I'm not sure they would have gave Eddie the strap again had he not passed

 

[jono]

I didn't understand how big a star Eddie was until I saw the Cheating Death, Stealing Life documentary on TV. I don't believe I had ever seen a network dedicate two hours to the story of one wrestler before. I'm pretty certain the WWE had never done it before either.

If I remember correctly it came on just before Smackdown one week, Eddie was the champion still when it aired. Even now when you watch it you can see where they placed the commercials. This sort of tells me how much UPN and WWE thought of him even when he was alive.

That's pretty damn big.

 

[RawAce]

Yeah Eddie was gold for upn because of the urban/Latino market he pulled for them was exactly what they wanted

But I still think Kurt angle has had the better matches , fueds, title reigns and fan heat

 

[eternal soldier]

I voted Kurt because even when I was a kid, I saw the IT factor. He could go in the ring, he can make you laugh and and he the serious promos as well...shit, typing that made me realized all the guys mentioned had that. And Eddie is missed..

 

[BangEm_Bart]

I'm biased

 

[GorillaWitAttitude]

Kurt Angle is the most decorated:

WWE champion

IGF (IWGP) champion

TNA champion

So an argument can be made for him

He was never the IWGP champion of NJPW. He held it in Inoki's IGF. Still, Angle had appeal though.

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

Angle is the legend of the 4

 

[jono]

Angle is the legend of the 4

Is your asserting that Jericho and Eddie aren't legends?

I think everyone would disagree with that.

 

[Dupac]

this iis so fucking unfair...

great thread tho

 

[jono]

I'm not sure they would have gave Eddie the strap again had he not passed

He was supposed to win the WHC due to batista's injury just a few weeks before survivor series, strangely enough Batista actually worked through injury because Eddie died.

This is all per Stephanie making such statements so take it with a grain of salt.

 

[jono]

Gonna go with Jericho. Biggest star of the attitude era (of the 3), has many outside wrestling projects from his YouTube series, to his books, to his band and now his podcast.
