2011 Wrestleview Match of the Year Project Final Ballot Voting
Jason Namako of Wrestleview.com
Hello everyone and welcome to the final step into finding what will be the 2011 Match of the Year as voted on by the readers of Wrestleview. Over the course of the last year, 400 matches were nominated in the forums over at www.paulnemer.com in the WWE forum section. The forum goers voted and discussed their favorite matches throughout the year span and the 400 was widdled down to 82. The people on the forums have voted and now it lies in the hands of you, the Wrestleview readers.
Listed below are the 82 matches that have made the final ballot, in order of date occurred. To vote, you simply compile your top 20 matches into a list and e-mail it to instantlyclassic@gmail.com. There will be a point system based off of your voting. If a match is #1 in your eyes, it gets 20 points. If its #2, it gets 19 points. And so on and so forth.
The deadline to send in your ballots will be 12:00 PM ET on Thursday, March 29, that way it will give you all more than 3 days to compile your ballots, determining what you all feel is the Match of the Year.
Then, once I have tallied up all the votes, there is tenatively scheduled to be an audio reveal of the top 20 matches that will be put up as a free audio during Wrestlemania weekend, as well as a written piece from 3 hand-picked writers after that.
So in closing, I hope you all have fun compling your ballots and enjoy determining what is the 2011 Wrestleview Match of the Year!
