[kevo]

Yes.

[BoxBuzz]

THE ROCK KO'd him, then lost and was never given the rubber match.

Despite his flight in fear from THE ROCK.

I vote yes.

Dempsey and his manager can not be singularly or punitively blamed for succumbing to the primal fear that everyone else felt.

[Techno89]

YES

[jBacca]

Yes.

Buzz, shut up a little.

[JDC]

Yes & the stand-out for the season

[BoxBuzz]

uh hum....I see a no vote...WTF? Explain a no if you can.

[DMA1987]

deserves it

[Fist of Legend]

yes

[Crease]

Dempsey's YES vote is conclusive (if not unsurprising). We'll give it a few more days to pan out.

[Crease]

No question of the outcome here.

DEMPSEY IS IN!!!
