The Ace of WWWF in the late 1970s into the early 1980s vs. the Ace of New Japan. It’s a clash of styles to be sure and a clash of charismas as well.

As the GKT continues, Karl Stern of WhenItWasCool.com and F4WOnline.com takes a look at the careers of Bob Backlund and Hiroshi Tanahashi and asks the question — If pro wrestling were real (not a shoot but the characters as presented were real) who would win? You voted, now let’s talk about it!
