This is the Call for Votes for the 2018 RSPW (Theszie) Awards. You can vote here.
The Theszies are the oldest fan awards in pro wrestling history, going back to 1990 (when Mr. Perfect quite appropriately won Best Wrestler and Junkyard Dog v. Ric Flair at Clash of the Champions XI won Worst Match). They offer a record of wrestling fan opinion lasting decades, and although we may not agree with some awards in retrospect, what matters is that they offer a snapshot of every year of wrestling as the fans loved it. We think that’s pretty cool.
As usual, following the nominations period, we have compiled all of the nominations into menus to make voting faster and easier (since the menus should include most or all of the most popular candidates for each award), while still allowing for write-in votes for those who don’t see their favorite choices as nominees. We do this strictly to streamline the voting process; this should not be construed as favoritism towards any wrestler for being nominated, as we do not nominate wrestlers ourselves. We have edited the nominations to remove some nominations that we thought were inappropriate, mistakes/errors, or unlikely to get enough votes to justify the nomination, as well as culling the nominations somewhat to make the ballot more manageable.
Remember, though: if your candidate for an award isn’t nominated, you can always write him in.
NOTE: This year, we’ve changed several categories (Best and Worst Heel, Babyface and Promos; Most and Least Favorite; and Most Underrated and Most Overrated) to allow for voters to vote for tag teams in those categories.
We’ve also used TECHNOLOGY to let you save your ballot and return to it later, if need be. Finally, we’ve also given fans the opportunity to include their own commentary on their voting choices for each award or just The State of Wrestling in General in 2018.
The deadline for entering votes is February 10, 2019. Have fun!

Hi all! This is the Tech Guy here. I’m working on fixing the layout on mobile devices, but the voting software might get confused about your vote. Sit tight!
When I get to the end of page 1, I submit my results, and it just kicks me back to the beginning of page 1 and erases all of my choices. Any idea what might be going on?
Eric: No idea what your problem is – I’ve tested the ballot on Firefox and Chrome and it’s working fine on both of them. Maybe try clearing cookies and starting again?
The clearing issue happens to me every year. I take a long time writing down notes on every vote and if I don’t remember to save every five or ten minutes the next time I save or move to next page it clears my votes and comments since the last time I successfully saved.

Rhench, I’d love to help. I wonder what browser you’re filling it out in.
Edit: I dropped an email.
I wasn’t able to give my vote last year but Im hoping to cast one this 2019. Congratulations in advance!
