| Close but no cigar for all four wrestlers pictured here Photo Credit: WWE.com |
TH - Eh, no one special
Angelo Castillo - Official emissary from the Philippines and bringer of lumpia
David Kincannon - Co-author of Irresistible vs. Immovable and the Aiden English of the wrestling blogger world
Alex Torres - Contributor at both Pro Wrestling Ponderings and Free Pro Wrestling and slayer of Mothra
Philip Rosenbaum - Official Wrestling Bro and possibly a shark
Andrew Smith - TWB enthusiast and owner of the plainest name among all voters
Jesse Powell - TWB superfan and someone I owe a life-debt to after watching Christmas Bounty in my stead
Martin Bentley - International jet-setting wrestling maven and for some reason, a lot taller than he sounds
Joseph Roche - Author of both the blog Wrestling Is Fun and the Beyond Wrestling newsletter, and once went ten rounds with a wallaby (It was a split decision; the bout was in Australia)
Samuel DiMascio - Podcaster at 4 Corners Radio, serial 2CW booster, and someone who owes me a punch to the gut for insinuating he looked like The Miz at National Pro Wrestling Day
Chris Harrington - Wrestling writer at What Culture and the Billy Beane of the wrestling world
Brandon Rohwer - TWB liker and currently being choked by Andre the Giant
Ryan Kilma - TWB appreciator and rumored to have ridden a moose from Winnipeg to Thunder Bay and back
Mike F. - Philadelphia native and Pitt alumnus who will fight anyone who takes Sheetz over Wawa. Or is it the other way around? I DON'T KNOW
Bill Hanstock - SB Nation staff writer, Scientific Podcast Goes Boink co-host, and eater of way too many Doritos Locos tacos
Joey O. - DJ at Y-Not Radio and someone who is probably too hip to be hanging out with us nerds
Tristan Wolfe - Curator of Explorations in Pro Wrestling and future Chopped judge
Rob Pandola - CZW booster and owner of at least three pairs of Hammer pants
Cewsh - Managing editor of Cewsh Reviews and suspected animagus

Ian Greenleafs - TWB mega-booster and Xavier Woods' stalker
Dylan Hales - Liar, fraud, co-host of the Wrestling Culture podcast, and co-founder of this list
Rich Thomas - Co-host of the International Object podcast who drives 2,857miles every week just so he can get some damn Wawa coffee
Chris McDonald - TWB devotee and Austin taco scene speculator
Joey Splashwater - Co-auteur at Wrestling on Earth and a not-so-typical ROH fan
Robot Hammer - Benevolent automated wrestling fan-simulator whose programming includes code for the elimination and disintegration of CM Punk… err, I mean hello
Steve Hummer - Another Philly-to-Pitt-U dude and only person on Twitter who's avatar reminds me of King Crimson's debut album cover without actually BEING that album cover
Willow Maclay - Neophyte wrestling fan who just started watching this year and went back and watched a bunch of 2013 stuff to participate. No smart-ass comment necessary, that feat is AWESOME.
Scott T. Holland - Staff Rumble statistician, co-scribe at Irresistible vs. Immovable, and continually covered in giardiniere
Brandon Spears - TWB zealot and owner of the world's largest kidney stone (he didn't pass it, he just bought it)

Andrew Rosin - Writer at Bucky's 5th Quarter who knows the air speed of an unladen swallow, both African AND European
De O'Brien - Contributor at Drop Toehold and world's second coolest grandmother (no one beats Jane Seymour, and even she'll admit that)
Brandon Bosh - Maven behind False Underdog who is actually a Labrador retriever in real life
TJ Hawke - Contributor to 411 Wrestling, head bee guy at Free Pro Wrestling, and totally not Alex Torres in disguise
George Hazar - Indie wrestling's most visible gadfly and purveyor of Naked Finlay
J K - Comments on the blog as "Peter Parker" but hasn't specified whether he built his web shooters or whether he can shoot them organically from his wrists
Rich Kraetsch - Co-manager at Voices of Wrestling but the only one who doesn't hear the voices in his head
Pablo Alva - TWB devotee and the only voter who hasn't denied that he's an anthropomorphic hot dog yet

Zach Brown - TWB habitué with a half-life of 23,000 years
Danielle Matheson - Curator of The Mandible Claw, host of its titular podcast, and person voted most likely to start a religion based on the Submission Squad
Brandon Stroud - Managing editor of With Leather/UPROXX Sports and future founder of a cover band whose only song is "World Gone Wild"
Joe Kearns - TWB maniac and only ballot which was forgotten until the last minute and God I am so sorry will you ever forgive me
