It's been quiet here, so maybe this poll will give us a little something to talk about. I didn't list Jack as he hasn't officially retired yet. Personally, I'd vote Raven just edging Colossus for my vote.

Good idea Troy to limit voting to one inductee per selection. It forces us to prioritize.
If I had one vote for the first inuctee into the CPC Hall of Fame it would be cast for The Matador. As the first official CPC Champion, he is akin to what Verne Gagne was to the founding of the AWA and Buddy Rogers was to the founding of the WWWF. He is integral to the lineage of the CPC as an independent entity. He is the first bona fide legend.
It's always been strange to me that of all the GWF stars that have found a place both in and out of the ring in Mark's storylines, the CPC's first ever Champion has no role. I still hope that will change at some point in the future.
When it comes to the first inductee, my conscience dictates that justice must be served. We must begin at the beginning, which means we must begin by inducting The Matador!

I'll Say Raven, but what about Prodigy or even Colby himself?

Well there are only so many options and Prodigy hasn't retired yet.  Enigma is also a guy who definitely deserves consideration even though his run in the CPC was pretty short. |

Raven gets the nod. His career in the CPC is second to none, both in terms of in-ring accomplishments and overall importance.
The Matador of M83 is one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of either the GWF or the CPC. The only reason he does not get my vote is because during his reign as CPC Heavyweight Champion, the Colby-Pelf Corporation was not actually a seperate federation, but rather a sub-group of the GWF.

What Joe said. The CPC champions were handed belts and molly-coddled with biased commissioners and refs. Raven's CPC run stands head and shoulders above every other retired CPC star's in my book.
Terminus is close, but his dominance was only one year (2109) and then there's Jack of Diamonds, who has been THE guy for me, but he's still wrestling.

Raven easily. His early title reigns are what made people take the CPC seriously.

I believe the greatest champion is the one with the longest reign in that federation . In CPC it is 182 human days by Holocaust . So I say someone else (Holocaust) ;D

I would chose Raven but I absolutely abhore this guy...he was my CPC Interstellar champion for awhile but that's it...he has never done that much in either of my feds and I would have to vote him the most dissappointing wrestler ever.
For the HOF, I would chose Matador of M83...he has to be one of the greatest ever in either fed. I know that some may argue that he held the CPC title when the fledgling fed was still attached to the GWF but in my opinion-it doesn't matter and the Matador gets a thumbs up in my book!

I would have said Matador, but then he made some crack about the CPC in "another" induction ceremony. Personally, I would have to vote for The Troubleshooters, the first "home grown" talents of the CPC. Everyone else is either had their prime in the GWF or abandoned the CPC to go elsewhere. But, of the current selections, Raven gets my nod.  |

Jack's not retired yet. That's the only reason he wasn't in this poll.

My vote would be for the Matador. He was the first one to give some legitimacy to the CPC.
