Post here when you turn in your ballot!
Submitted a singles ballot today. I had the form up on the browser for almost a day and a half, referencing my own spreadsheet and getting a few last minute cliff notes from the various nominations threadS. Kudos to those of you who put Survival Tobita on their ballots. I couldn't get myself to do it, but from viewing session I had of his, I enjoyed his work. Ballot Breakdown US: 48 Japan: 18 Mexico: 16 Canada: 9 (1 fake Russian, 1 fake Scot) UK: 5 Puerto Rico: 2 Tonga: 1

Samoa Joe
I really did not want to rank Samoa Joe in part because I wasn't as high on his ROH stuff as I was of the opinion he was the beneficiary of Meltzer hype. He started off good in TNA then fell off a cliff. But his NXT stuff, including a last minute spurt at Takeover: Dallas got him to sneak into the bottom part of my list.

That was fucking amazing!

WrestleMania 31...
If ever there was a Mania match that needed to end in 18 seconds, this is the one.

Aww, I half expected Ronda to put Stephanie in an armbar...

WrestleMania 31...
The finishing sequence for their Fastlane match was better, and they still could have had more time to build to an even more epic finish, even if I think Cena winning was the wrong move.

WrestleMania 31...
And as other people have pointed out, if WWE REALLY want to get Roman Reigns over, if he wins the WWE Title tonight, him going over Rusev where Cena and others would make him more of a made man than anything else.

I'm curious as to how much Russian the fans at Levis Stadium know.

HHH did less than an hour ago.

WrestleMania 31...
My feed kind of bombed out when the nWo came out, but that seemed like a strange choice as the "WCW" representatives for Sting seeing as Hall and Nash were Hunter's Kliq buddies.

That Flair chop to Steamboat was fantastic!

WrestleMania 31...
Awesome, I timed my laundry break perfectly with the end of that Randy Orton match. Laundry is infinitely more interesting to me, but it sounds like I missed an intriguing RKO.

WrestleMania 31...
Will's right on the money with the ending headbutt sequence. That was really amazing. And a good thing Randy Orton is on right now as I can take care of the rest of my laundry...

They almost teased the Royal Rumble 2004 finish, and I was sad Mizdow lost.

Sangre Chicana
I watched the famous cabellera contra cabellera match with MS-1 tonight and good lord. Chicana takes an absolute beating before the first fall even starts up until his comeback in the second. His left hands were as awesome and as crisp as any punch Jerry Lawler has ever thrown. He busts out a few topes in the match as well, so he could also fly if he had to. The way both men sell the exhaustion of beating the living shit out of each other in the 3rd fall is masterful. Chicana's submission to end it looks absolutely painful. Besides all that, Chicana post-match takes things to another level I don't think I've seen in a hair match as even though he's the winner, he's got to get a few more licks in and make sure MS-1 gets his hair cut like a man. I need to see more.

The Nomination Thread
There's tons of matches vs Claudio Castagnoli, so that could be fun. I also need to get a hold of the King of Trios where it was Quack's team of 1000 holds vs Team Uppercut.

Titus O' Neil
I don't have the depth of exposure to Titus since I don't really watch the B shows, but Batista was around Titus' age when he "got it" and really became a big star.

Optional Side-poll for Tag Teams?
I think there's going to be a lot of cross-referencing as a lot of GOAT contenders did a lot of tag wrestling as well. Be it Terry Funk with Gordy, Flair with any Horseman, Lawler and Dundee, the AJPW tags, etc.
