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.

Rey Mysterio

 

Rey's a better worker, has been with the company for almost 3 years and is still incredibly over. Orndorff, on the other hand, had a career that seemed to die off after the Hogan feud.

Tons of guys had big runs with Hogan, but the key was how successful you could be without him. Orndorff's other programs in the company never caught fire, and Rey has had some of the best matches of the past five years since debuting and he's a huge merchandise draw.

Paul Orndorff

 

One of the more recognizable heels of the initial boom, drew a lot of money with Hogan in 86. Let's be honest, Rey really hasn't done *that* much since the end of 2002, as up until recently he's pretty much just been farting around with the cruisers after having some great matches with Angle & Benoit.

 

Of course, having voted Tajiri over Orton I probably look like a hypocrite now.

Rey Misterio Jr. Has been in more top quality matches and been more entertaining than Orndorff in WWF/E.

I'd have to vote for Rey. Orndorff was pretty much a one feud guy.

Even though Rey had his best matches in Mexico and WCW, I have to vote for him. I want to vote for Orndorff but without the HOgan feud, he would be nothing.

Tough call really. I think we take for granted what a hot heel Orndorff was in 1986. He probably would have gone further if not for the arm injury, but no one can tell.

Paul Orndorff. I'd go with Rey for the same reasons Loss did, but you can't overlook anyone who did a program with Hogan from 1984 through 1987. Orndorff had amazing heat as a heel both times out, even though the non-sensical pairing with Hogan during his face run should've hurt him.

What he said. Outside of the Hogan feud, Orndorff really didn't do much of note, and was gone by 1988. Rey, on the other hand, despite not always getting the push his talents deserve, as always been relatively over, and is far more exciting to boot.

Misterio hasn't really contributed anything to the company (his body of work doesn't really even compare with what he had outside of WWF), whereas Orndorff was the main event foil for Hogan early on in the Wrestlemania era.

Paul Orndorff, though this is a tough choice.

 

Was part of the main event of the first Wrestlemania, had some pretty good matches with Hogan in their feud, which was a hotter one than anything Rey's been in (though this upcoming one with Eddie might do it).

I hate his guts but the man was 1/2 of one of the best-drawing feuds in WWF history and should have had a cup of coffee as WWF champion.

 

Rey, as much as I love his work, was never really given a chance to succeed outside of the Smackdown tag-team division.

This is a close one, but for me it comes down to the quality of their work.

Rey Misterio Jr

 

Loss nailed it with his comments.

Orndorff.
