FORUMS WIDE VOTING NOW UP :siren:

Welcome to the Something Awful Top Dog Tournament! :cheerdoge:

The Something Awful Top Dog Tournament is a competition to determine the top dog across this whole forum. Think you know a pooch who's up for the task? Nominate a dog, win the subforum round, and take on the top dogs from subforums across SA!

How does it work? :eng101:

The three stages of the Top Dog Tournament are:
1) Subforum Nomination - Each participating subforum has a nomination thread for posters to nominate potential Top Dogs
2) Subforum Voting - Each subforum votes to determine the champion that will represent them in the forumwide vote
3) Forumwide Voting - The champions from every subforum go head to head to determine the Top Dog of the Tournament

This thread is Stage 2: Subforum Voting

The nominees for the Rowdy Ringsports champion are listed at the bottom of this post. Choose wisely, as our subforum is nominating a dog to compete against all the other top dogs across the forums!

Voting will be open until at least Wednesday, March 8.

Questions and Answers

How should I choose who to vote for?
It's up to you! Maybe it's a dog that makes you Maybe it's a dog that makes you Maybe it's a dog that represents the id of our subforum. Vote however you like!
Can I vote in subforums I don't actively participate in?

Where can I talk about the dogs that I like and dislike?

"The Big Dog" Roman Reigns

He's a 3 time world heavyweight champion, a 7 time slammy award winner, and look at that beautiful head of hair. Bow wow!

Venomous posted:

'Stone Pitbull' Tomohiro Ishii

4-time NEVER Openweight Champion, part of the IWGP Tag Team Champions, he will chop your chest into little pieces and give you a brainbuster off the top rope without breaking a sweat.

Suplex Liberace posted:

Rick "The Dog Faced Gremlin" Steiner

A 12 time World Tag Team Champion was also in a 5 Star Match with Scott Steiner, Sting, and Brian Pillman vs. Ric Flair, Larry Zbyszko, Barry Windham and Sid Vicious in a WarGames match at WrestleWar

beggar posted:

Pepper

Pepper is Al Snows best friend, and was dog napped by his rival The Big Boss Man. After a title fight between the two, Boss Man felt sorry about Snow's plight and invited him back to his hotel and cooked him a home made meal to show his sympathy.

Ill throw my dog into the ring.
His name is Chupacabra or Chupy for short. Hes a german shepard puppy that is slowly learning the way of the world

dsriggs posted:

The late Asparagus

Daniel Bryan's labrador, former US Champion, a Good Dog

Jerusalem posted:

Matilda

Matilda is a bulldog so she immediately and instantly owns, also she was once kidnapped by the Islanders and took it all in stride which means she's tougher and cooler than me because I'd be terrified if Haku kidnapped me.

super macho dude posted:

Bubby

Bubby is a good boy because even though he's deaf he doesn't let his disability get in the way of his hobbies, which include eating rabbit poop, being a good boy, and scratching his back on the carpet.

sportsgenius86 posted:

Bubbles

Bubbles turns one on Monday. She's a rescue dog. Her mom was pregnant and left to roam free. The rescue took her in after her mom gave birth to the three puppies in someone's backyard.
She's a collie/terrier mix who enjoys watching A-Show Smackdown with her pops, eating anything she can reach like a true goon and taking 20 minutes to find a spot to use the bathroom.

I really liked Chupy because I'm a sucker for little tuckered out pups having a nap :3:

Which I guess is also why Roman Reigns is getting so many votes!

when roman reigns wins this plz tweet the result at him so he is aware he is not only a big dog, but the best dog

do not inform him that part of the competition was actual dogs. i want him to be happy on the day in which he learns he is the best dog.

TTBF: Sep 14, 2005

I voted for The Big Dog Bow Wow Roman Reigns Himself because I thought it'd be funny if he won and PSP was responsible for the only non-canine in the finals. Now that it's pretty clear Roman probably won't advance, I'd like my vote changed to Matilda to ensure that every good dog has at least one vote.

Josuke Higashikata: Mar 7, 2013

I voted Bubby because he looks like Iggy but I strongly encourage all people to vote for real dogs and not fake dogs like lovely Roman Reigns who is not a real dog because real dogs are worthy of real love because all real dogs are perfect and I feel bad for not being able to for all of the real dogs on this list.

The voting thread would have been pages and pages of non-wrestling fans booing and they wouldn't understand why.

I suppose you could say the response to Roman is downright Pavlovian.
