Went with Harley Race. Seven time's the NWA Heavyweight Champion when all the bookers/owners/presidents had to agree who was to be champion.

I went with Bruno. Back in his day, you didn't hold a championship, much less THE championship for damn near 8 years straight for nothing. I'm sure I said it in the last thread, or if not, somebody else probably did, but it bears repeating: The man consistently sold out MSG, which, again, in his day was no mean feat. He also had some excellent matches and feuds in his '63-'71 run.

Bruno looks like Peyton Manning in that pic.
I haven't seen a match from either but Harley looks cooler. |

Wowwwwwww. This is difficult. My first instinct is to go with Bruno, but Harley was just as important. Way more entertaining NWA Title matches than Dory Funk jr/Jerry Brisco bore fests.
This is very tough. Harley threw bomb after bomb during his matches, but Bruno's comebacks were electric. I'm gonna have to come back to this one. |

Hard match. Both are all-time greats and legends. Both are excellent for their own reasons. The only thing I can do to even pick one of these over the other is to think on a more meta scale. Which one of these guys would I put in the HoF first? And that would be Bruno for me.

Tough call, went with Bruno. He seemed to have more influence, and if I was booking a territory and could choose either in my prime, I'd rather have Bruno.

Really tough choice but gave the nod to Bruno in the end.
Both guys has great legacies and were major stars in the industry. Race was very influential towards future heel generations while Bruno the same for future face stars. Went with Bruno mainly because of his record longevity as WWWF champion and the standards he set for the WWE paving the way for future mega stars in the company. |

Why is Race illegal cause he lost to Funk a few round ago?

People remember that way more than anything Bruno ever did. That's why I'm not surprised Race won.

The NWA title was the World championship. The florida title was a regional belt. The nwa was an organization that was over the territories. It was a true world title.
