In celebration of the 2012 Olympics and 2012 Season 3 premier of The Walking Dead, IronE is hosting a battle of the countries Olympics gold contest to "guess T-Dogs next line" in the upcoming season 3 premier of The Walking Dead.

Contestants are challenged in every Walking Dead loving country to battle to the finish line to help their country take the gold medal for most wins in the following categories.

How Do I Enter and Win?
Winners will be selected in 3 categories.

  • Exact Line – Guess one of T-Dogs upcoming lines in the season 3 premier. T-Dog lines disclosed in trailers are not allowed. Only lines that are extremely close and practically word for word will be considered as winning lines. At least 4 consecutive words in a line must be given. *Multiple Exact Line winners will be allowed but only one winner per line (the 1st person to give the line will be declared the winner).

  • Funniest/Most Unique Line – How easy is this? Have fun, be creative and come up with the most gut-busting hilarious T-Doggish line imaginable. 3 prizes will be given in this category. 1 bronze (3rd place), 1 silver (2nd place), 1 gold (1st place).

  • Coolest Line – No cornball, cheese-doodle allowed. Think, cross between James Bond and Shaft “The name is Dog…T-Dog. Can you dig it?” 3 prizes will be given in this category. 1 bronze (3rd place), 1 silver (2nd place), 1 gold (1st place).

To participate and submit your T-Dog line, your tweet must contain @IronE Singleton #TDogsNextLine.

What do I Win? What are my chances?

  1. Grand Prize - The top prize will only be awarded to the winner in the 1st category (Exact Line). The grand prize winner will receive a 35.5" x 20" fade-resistant, tear-resistant, and flame-retardant framed autographed cast banner, autographed copy of season 2 DVD and honorable mention from T-Dog himself during an upcoming press interview. But it gets even better!! If IronE reaches 100,000 followers by the end of the contest, he will give away an undisclosed one-of-a-kind Walking Dead set prop to the winner of the 1 st category.

  2. 1st place prize – Autographed Season 2 DVD, 11x17 T-Dog poster and 8x10 autographed cast picture.
