Okay, the poll is now up. Remember everyone can vote! The poll will close 72 hrs from now. Hopefully, the judges will have their results by then. Hold on a sec, we can add polls midway through a thread, now?

I know have 2 out of the four judges rankings on the final round.
There's a little over 24 hours left in the poll. Remember: the winner of the poll gets a two point advantage in the finals.

I must say,i expected much better picks for the finals This statement says so little ... yet says so so much (and not about the songs). (And I'm not even referring to my own picks really.) Pretty fantastic round, Snakeman. *Japanese respect pop*

Pretty fantastic round, Snakeman. *Japanese respect pop* Thanks. Your pics are solid too. I'm a bit confused that the Weird Al and Classical picks aren't pitted against each other though.

Before I announce the winner, I first want to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who participated. First, to all of the contestants, thank you so much for sharing your musical tastes with us all. Secondly, thanks to my fellow judges for your hard work and your diverse musical opinions. A special thanks to "Statman" PKSandman for coming on board late in the game. As I prepare to surrender my Idol crown and hand it to the new champion, I lastly want to thank our worthy finalists for making this final decision so incredibly hard. Either one of you would be very deserving of this title. And now, for one last time, DIM THE LIGHTS: pegasuswarrior already leads this final round 2-0 by virtue of his winning body of work. Will Ssnakebite be able to catch up? Match #1: Pegasuswarrior, you chose "Let Forever Be" by The Chemical Brothers featuring Noel Gallagher. Ssnakebite, you chose "Dies Irae" by Verdi. In this apples and oranges contest, I gave the edge to "Dies Irae", one of the most dramatic works of all time. The final judge's vote was 3-2 in favor of... {Spoiler}"Let Forever Be" by The Chemical Brothers featuring Noel Gallagher
Pegasuswarrior leads the contest 3-0, meaning that he just needs one more winning match to win the contest overall. Match #2: Pegasus, you chose "Chasing Pavements" by Adele. Ssnakebite, you chose Weird Al's "Nature Trail to Hell." Although I was quite amused by the Weird Al selection, I gave the my vote to the excellent neo jazz vocals of Adele. The judges final vote was 3-2, giving this round to... {Spoiler}"Nature Trail to Hell" Ssnakebite is now on the board, trailing 3-1 Match #3 Pegasus, you chose "A-Punk" by Vampire Weekend. Ssnakebite you chose "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk The results of this match were unanimous. With a 5-0 judges vote, the winner of Match #3 is... {Spoiler}"Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk
Ssnakebite has now cut Pegusus' lead to 3-2 {Spoiler}This next match could either decide the contest, or lead to a nail-biting tie breaker in Match #5 Match #4: Pegasus, your song was "Send Me on My Way" by Rusted Root. Ssnakebite, you song was "It Was A Good Day" by Ice Cube. The choice was a rap classic, or a jam band staple. The judges were split 3-2 for... {Spoiler}"Send Me on My Way" by Rusted Root
This brings the score 4-2 in favor of Pegasuswarrior, which means that... {Spoiler}
Congratulations Pegasus! Now lets check out the outcome of our final match. Match #5: Pegasus, you chose "Amish Paradise" by Weird Al Yankovic. Ssnakebite, you chose "Money (Live in Venice)" by Pink Floyd. The judges were again split 3-2. The winner of match #5 is... {Spoiler}Money (Live in Venice) by Pink Floyd
This makes the final score of WC Idol 2 4-3 in favor of Pegasuswarrior!!
This could not have been closer. Ssnakebite, you played an excellent game and you should be very proud of your accomplishments in this competition.
Congratulations Pegasuswarrior! You ARE Wrestlecrap IDOL!!

Ssnake, from one runner-up to another, you did excellent. Hold your head up high.
Pegasus, I tip my cap to you. You had more "OMG YES!" picks than anyone else in this contest, and your victory was well deserved.
And you know what? If nobody else has dibs on it, I'd like to host Season 3.

Folks, this has been really fun. Thanks for the comments, and thanks for everyone who participated and to all of the judges for putting in the time.
Widow's Peak, I know you see how much of a headache some of the duties of running this can be, and you really did a great job at every stage of it and never once showed any signs of frustration. That did NOT go unnoticed. Major kudos.
Snakeman, I'm really glad this came down to the wire. I marked out hard for "Dies Irae." I was sitting on Chemical Brothers the whole competition and wanting to use them, but when I put it up against "Dies Irae," I was mad at myself. That was one of my favorite picks of the competition. Also, I knew you had me with Daft Punk. Every single selection in this round was a nail-biting matchup for me, I can't lie.
I had a blast! Thanks again for everyone's participation!

Damn, I can't believe how close it was. And I can't really feel bad for losing to the winner of the whole competition (and at least, I can still leave with the satisfaction to know that on the songs selections for the last round alone, I got more points than the winner ). Well deserved, my friend, which is only fair considering you were the one who kicked off the first edition of WrestleCrap Idol. I'd like to tell everyone that it was a blast playing in that round, especially considering I was eliminated early on in the first contest, and I came very close to getting canned this time around, so at least making it to the finals is a huge surprise and a great satisfaction to me, not to mention that was a really tough, high-quality contest and those who didn't have Pegasus and I's luck really should be proud of their performances. I only hope all the contestants and judges had as much fun as I did, and here's to WrestleCrap Idol 3!

I'd love to judge it, but we'll see While I'm at it, I'd like to be involved in the next contest as well, but since I was already a contestant twice and made it to the finals this time, I'd like to leave my place to new guys. So... I can has judge seat?
