The pro’s poll was (from best to worst): Daniel Bryan, Wade Barrett, Justin Gabriel, Heath Slater, David Otunga, Skip Sheffield, Michael Tarver and Darren Young. WWE.com now has the results of the fan’s voting.
The fans have voted Daniel Bryan #1. Following him are Justin Gabriel, David Otunga, Heath Slater, Wade Barrett, Darren Young, Skip Sheffield and Michael Tarver.
The fans are apparently buying into Otunga enough to keep him high on the list. Of course, with all the publicity backing him, that’s not a shock. Gabriel and Slater are the two fresh faced young guys with flashy moves who rarely lose, so, naturally, they rank high. Gabriel has the potential to be a Jeff Hardy type face as a smaller high flier kids can get into, so we’ll see if the WWE realizes it. Tarver has been given little to do and looked bad on this week’s NXT, so he’s probably the first gone, while Sheffield, playing a goof, is sure to not rank high. With a personality befitting his intimidating look, he’d be higher up, I’m sure. The fans like Darren Young more than the pros, which makes sense. Young has gotten a lot of screen time, particularly with the most over Pro, so he’ll get some love by osmosis. Barrett is ranked where one would expect- high up, but as a big heel, not too high. And Bryan is the man.
