2022 Doomie Awards Top 5 Ballot!

There were twenty-seven nomination ballots submitted for this year’s Doomie awards, the recognized symbol of excellence in wrestling blogging. I have tallied those ballots and the top five (and ties) have moved onto the final round of balloting. This year this will take place on a Google Form and you will vote for one choice for each category (or the categories you choose to vote for). Thank you to those who participated in the nomination round.

Click here to access the ballot. You do not need to respond to every question, but you will need to sign into Google to cast your ballot. Balloting will close at midnight on Saturday.

Results will be released on Tuesday, January 24.
