Vote for the wrestler that you think had the better career in WWE (whether you base that on impact or match quality is your decision), from 1985 to 2005. Voting will end Tuesday morning. Please give the wrestler's name first and any explanation thereafter. Thanks.

Taijiri

 

Orton has been a major disappointment at the top of the card, and Taijiri is the better worker.

Randy Orton

 

I really hate to pick Orton here, but it's hard to compare his push with Tajiri's. Tajiri's a far superior worker, but is going to be stuck in the midcard and probably will never have a cup of coffee with the main event, while Orton will get opportunity after opportunity, no matter how much he bombs. A really reluctant pick here.

Randy Orton

 

Probably because Orton has the look, and is extremely popular. Tajiri has not done much beyond the lower mid-card honestly.

I'm going on match quality and charisma here...

 

Tajiri

Tajiri. He's had far more better quality matches within the timeframe.

Tajiri

 

Even though Tajiri's best work is outside of the WWF, all Randy Orton has going for him is The Push.

Tajiri

 

Seriously, all Orton has going for him at this point in time is the "youngest World Champion ever" tag, which they only gave him to spite Brock. Tajiri is a much better worker, as previously mentioned.

Randy Orton

 

Neither have really done anything in WWE. Tajiri has been bounced around and won some tag gold. Orton has been bounced around and randomly won IC and World Title gold. I think that Tajiri is the better worker but he doesn't really get a chance to prove it in WWE.

Double Count Out

 

Ok, Tajiri.

 

At least Tajiri has always got the reaction he was meant to get. He's a far better worker, far more entertaining, and a far better human being. Sure, Randy has been on top, but if that was the sole factor in the voting, then it would make the whole tournament pointless.

Tajiri.

 

HTQ sums it up well. Tajiri's a better worker and he's more entertaining.

Tajiri. Face Orton just completely bombed, though he isn't that bad in the ring. I just like Tajiri more.

Randy Orton, because sadly enough, Tajiri is never going to get past the mid-card level. Orton already has, even though his push hasn't been met with much success.

Tajiri

 

 

Tajiri gets the nod on the basis of workrate and overness at the level of the card he was used at.

 

Orton-mania never really took off as much as the WWE tried to force it to.

Tajiri

 

Just because I enjoy watching him far more than I do Orton.

Tajiri. Orton's body of work is much smaller. Tajiri has been around since early 2001, Orton debuted in 2003 and promply got injured and was out for months and then got injured again, derailing the start of th Evolution gimmick. He got over as a heel and then died as a face. Tajiri wins for being consistantly entertaining and better in the ring.

Tajiri was actually around earlier. He was in the Light Heavyweight Tournament, in late 1997.
