If you look to the right of this post, you’ll see a poll. This is not just any poll. It’s a poll about greatness.

Your job is to choose who you think who has the most greatness.

Here are the nominees:

Dave Meltzer
– The writer and editor of my favorite newsletter of all newsletters, The Wrestling Observer. He’s been on the ballot before and he will be on it until he wins.


Dave and I

Brandon Walsh – Coolest man of the 90s. He’s been on the ballot before and he will be on it until he wins. Wait, I already said that.

Tim “Lincy” Lincecum – He has long hair which he hides under a ball cap or beanie. Oh yah, he’s also the best pitcher in the National League.

Bill Simmons – I only have him on here to make Albert mad. And I went to his book signing.

The Coach – He’s the kiss stealing, wheeling dealing, limousine riding, jet flying, son of a gun.

Previous Winners

Mike Lopez and Eddy Zucko were automatically inducted into the Great, Great Man Hall of Fame for this video:

Great, Great Man #1 – Nicholas Lachey was our inaugural winner.

Great, Great Man #2 – Patrick Swayze was a well deserving recipient and our second winner.

Great, Great Man #3 – Ricky Iglesias was our third winner.

So who will it be?

Will it be that great, great man Dave Meltzer?

Will it be that great, great man Brandon Walsh?

Will it be that great, great man, Lincy?

Will it be that great, great man, Bill Simmons?

Or will it be that great, great man, the Coach (on the left)?

Fellow readers of this fantastic blog, I need your help. My community, please help me.

I am going to give away my third Great Great Man Award, but I want you to help me choose who deserves it most.

I am going to give you 4 options, and your job is to select who you believe should be the recipient and then vote in the comment section below.

Here are your options:

A. Dave Meltzer
Why he should win – I’ve read every single copy of his newsletter “The Wrestling Observer” since 2001, and they come out every week. And he’s the only one on the list who I’ve met in person.

Why he shouldn’t win – Eddy Zucko makes fun of his clothes from the time he met him while working at Gold’s Gym.

B. Brandon Walsh
Why he should win – He’s simply the man.

Why he shouldn’t win – He’s not necessarily real. Well he is, but it’s still just a character. But a damn good one.

C. Enrique Iglesias
Why he should win – He’s a pimp. He always gets hot women. I’ve used him in “The Adventures Of Low Jones”.

Why he shouldn’t win – He hasn’t had a hit record in years. And he has a terrible hairy mole.

D. J – T – O
Why he should win – He’s going to be a pop culture phenomenon thanks to me.

Why he shouldn’t win – It’s just too soon.

Here were the past two winners.

Nick Lachey
Patrick Swayze

Please vote in the comments section below. I will wait for about a week until I determine who will be the next recipient.

This site is my personal blog. I am a divorced dad of two young boys, whom I love with all my heart. I’m single. I am great friends with my ex-wife and her new husband. I work in the Internet industry. I enjoy pro wrestling, MMA, and the regular sports like basketball, baseball and football. I have a fanatical love for things like Beverly Hills, 90210 and American Idol, so if that makes you uncomfortable, this may not be the place for you. But if you believe in the three words, “Donna Martin graduates!” then this place may be for you.
