'26 Hodge Trophy Finalists; Fan Vote Now Open

[HikeNatParks]

A former Pirate broadcaster said it best: There was nooooooo doubt about it!
So refreshing that neither resentment, Jax-hype, nor Lion fatigue could blur the vision of what every objective voter saw this year: Mat domination by one of the most unique and fascinating wrestlers, not just of our time, but of all time! May this special athlete re-rack and do it again.

Did he have a robe on? Asking for a friend.

I only heard it as a rumor, I haven't seen it hanging there. I think we just go with the "flo" and say on.

Good. Everyone here can relax now.

Your reply doesn’t make any sense. Please clarify what you are trying to say.

I'm saying you're a d*ck

Talk about stories!

Make it however you want Hendrickson didn't beat Kerk twice.I just corrected your "believe ".I could have said you are wrong but I didn't did I?

You did actually prove me right. You are a moron.
If you see below. I was challenging someone who said kerk beat Hendrickson twice. See the question mark????!
Not in the 2025 season he didn’t. Kerk didn’t beat him at all in 2025.
Hendrickson beat kerk as did Stevenson in 2025. So I said that Hendrickson was deserving of the hodge. You know what? The people who voted agreed with me.

“Kerk beat Hendrickson that year twice during the season? Kerk lost to Stevenson twice on one leg? That is a lot of stories you are telling.”

But what about if he used "surreal" like, "To hear that I won the Hodge was like waking from a dreamlike state only to realize it wasn't a dream at all. I really won! The possibilities are endless, and it is the off-season, so I see no reason to de-nerdify this grammarly change of direction : ).

I think that only counts as acceptable usage if Mitch gave his quote while in the absurd setting of a furious dodgeball game in the room where, everyone knows, it's like a war zone.
