Bustronaut Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I still think Kevin Owen's entire NXT journey is a rib on Chris Hero. 2
JRGoldman Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I'll vote for Owens now, and I'll vote for Owens in 4 years when he is on Raw and they re do the Buddy Rose Blow Away Diet vignettes with him. 1
Ramsey Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah, this isn't even a contest. This would be a shitty draw for anyone, For Orton, it's impossible. K.O. for the win.
Dewar Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I don't hate Orton as much as everyone else seems to, but there's no way I can vote in his favor in this matchup.
The Man Known as Dan Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 So... I really dig Owens, but he didn't have an amazing year IMO. Still enough to get him past Orton, but don't think he's going THAT deep.
Cristobal Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I don't think the difference between the two is going to be accurately reflected in the vote count, but that said I'm still voting Owens, here. 1
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I voted Randy Orton because HELL ON THE EARTH FOREVER
nate Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Orton was out way too long for me to consider voting for him against anyone, except maybe Big Slow.
JRGoldman Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 So... I really dig Owens, but he didn't have an amazing year IMO. Still enough to get him past Orton, but don't think he's going THAT deep. I think Owens is going to benefit from some serious recency bias in that all his good stuff this year happened a month ago. If his year had been reversed exactly, I don't think he has much buzz. 2
Jiji Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah, but he's against Randy Orton. So this is an easy one where you don't have to think all that hard to come to the conclusion on whom to vote for. From the bit of indy stuff he did before joining NXT, he seemed to be doing alright. I was never a big fan of Steen's style and I think the less is more approach at WWE has helped him more than most. Oh, and he'll get my vote for a while just down to shoving Alex Riley like a sack of potatoes over the announce booth.
DylanWaco Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Voted for Steen on the strength of the Mike Bailey match from C*4, and his work so far in NXT which I consider to be the best stuff he's ever done in many ways.
SolidGoldBomb Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Tough since I don't like Owens and generally like Randy, so with Orton definitely going out here i'll just just say he had one of my favorite spots of the year mad respect for getting up from that (without a broken back), and finishing the match Owens is good at a lot of things too, but I think he's just starting to show promise with his last few NXT matches vs Zayn & Neville which were both awesome. I think NXT crowds cheering for him instead of treating him like the heel he should be is hurting him, but that's more a problem with the smart mark fans than it is Owens not being a good heel.
Jiji Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 One of these days, the table and/or its accouterments is going to win and Randy won't get back up.
SolidGoldBomb Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 You say that like you wish it would happen..... Well allow me to retort.....who had a better year of VIRAL VINES http://www.funnyordie.com/articles/085c5b1ad3/rko-remix-meme-finds-pro-wrestler-tackling-viral-videos-literally
Jiji Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Not at all. The guy has had some really gruesome botches with tables and it's amazing that he hasn't suffered a major injury.
JonnyLaw Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I actually like Randy Orton. I think he trolls the crowd better than almost any other wrestler today, and I think he may be one of the most underrated guys currently. 1
JCM Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I don't find Orton that offensive when he isn't wrestling Cena, but Owens has pretty much been the best guy in WWE since his debut.
DreamBroken Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Enjoyed Orton's year so throwing him a vote. Never liked Owens before until NXT where he seems to have improved tremendously and come in to his own to the point where I'm digging him lately while I've always been an Orton fan.
SorceressKnight Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I've seen people say "so and so are overrated!" for the blowouts, and a few people getting "they're underrated" for big blown-out people, especially for foregone conclusions. Randy Orton only has six votes, is being blown-out first round, and is in the "pity vote" stage. The less well-known guys on the poll being blown out by better-known guys isn't underrated, THIS IS UNDERRATED. 1
Lazlo Woodbine Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 In a battle of occasionally fantastic guys who I generally can't be arsed with - Owens shades it.
MORELOCK Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 So if we're all agreeing that the Mania three-way doesn't exist, nobody's going to bring it up for Bryan-Lesnar, right? Also, what Shield-Evolution six-man tags? I expected this, but it's still total bullshit. 4
Cristobal Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I'm still comfortable with my Owens vote, but the fact that his best stuff (NXT) has been recent, while Orton's all happened at the beginning of the period is probably a bit tough on Orton.
