Just turned in a ballot. I'm a long time lurker on the board. I've never participated in something like this and found reading through the nomination threads and constructing a ballot thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks to everybody involved for putting this together. I look forward to seeing the results!

Hi. I'm a longtime lurker here. This was my first live card: 10/22/1984 WWF - New York, NY - Madison Square Garden [iV] (20,000; TV) David Schultz (4:02) Salvatore Bellomo Afa (20min limit draw) Dick Murdoch Mad Dog Vachon (7:24) Rick McGraw David Sammartino (12:23) Moondog Spot Greg Valentine (5:52 DQ) Tito Santana Ken Patera (13:08) Rocky Johnson Sika (9:29 DQ) Adrian Adonis Nikolai Volkoff (15:40 COR) Sgt. Slaughter Brutus Beefcake (5:20) Tony Garea Hulk Hogan (7:38) Big John Studd I was 9 years old. My father brought me to the matches. He was not a fan, but he was a good sport for taking me. He was a bit hung up on how fake it all looked. I was a true believer and didn't want to hear it. I don't remember that much about the card except that I was a big fan of Hogan, Slaughter, Santana and (inexplicably) David Sammartino. I had a ball and my lifelong fandom was cemented that night.
