2010 Mid-Year Ballot for the WrestleView Readers
Well, readers a day has passed since you saw our selections for the best of so far in 2010. To see our selections, please click here for yesterday’s article.
Now it is YOUR turn to provide your answers. We have plenty of visitors that want to type their opinions so here is your chance to agree with one of us or disagree with us. Below is the easy-to-read ballot that features what the WrestleView staff chose as the best (and worst) of 2010. In other words, if even one of the WV staff members nominated someone then it will be on the ballot.
You can fill this ballot anyway you like. Some of last year’s participants did one of two things.
1) They highlighted (or put in bold) their selection (If other, they simply put their answer)
2) They gave an explanation on how they voted.
Now I won’t be able to copy and paste ALL of your detailed responses, but I will select a few of them since those that provided a good description deserves to be praised for it.
So, here is the condensed ballot just to make your lives easier. I am looking forward to your votes and I will post the Students’ Choice on September 10th, 2010.
Have fun with this and thank you for participating.
