Bryan Danielson for me

i'm going Danielson as i nominated him

I liked Dean Malenko but I'll be going for Danielson because Danielson has more personality to go with his outrageous talent

Bryan Danielson

Another tricky one,I really like both,but going to vote for the man with a 1000 holds.

For me, these two are probably the purest examples of a technical wrestler. Both men were\are great at what they do, and both are very inovative. Difficult to separate them, but my vote goes to Malenko since I nominated him.

Dean malenko for me as I don't know a great deal about Danielson.

Malenko for me as I've seen more of him then Danielson.

Suprisingly Ive seen more of Danielson and its between him and CM Punk as my favourite current wrestlers so Danielson for me. Im backing him for the win
