Democracy at work.

So this is the thread where you will vote in the Best Wrestling Talkers Tournament, a 32-person tournament to figure out who had the greatest gift of gab in the history of wrestling. I'll post the bracket in the OP and will update it as necessary. A friendly reminder that this thread is only for voting, not for discussion. We have a whole other thread for you to strong-arm people in and it's right here! https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3819898

ROUND 0 OPENING BATTLE ROYALE

Because every good card should start with a massive battle royale clusterfuck.

We had 48 nominations, but out of those 48 only 26 were nominated multiple times. Those 26 are already into the tournament and have been seeded and placed. As I'm running a 32-person tournament on the grounds that I ain't here to do math, we need to narrow down the 22 that only received a little bit of love to 6 sacrificial lambs.

Out of the following list, vote for your top 3. The top six vote getters will be inserted into the tournament and promptly voted out.

Voting will be open until midnight Thursday 5/19 EST aka God's timezone
