Announcement Greatest Wrestler of the 21st Century - Tournament Brackets

[Samoa Looch]

TOURNAMENT BRACKETS

Spoiler: BLOCK A

Spoiler: BLOCK B

Spoiler: BLOCK C

Spoiler: BLOCK D

The Semi Finals will see the Winner of Block A face the Winner of Block D, as well as the Winners of Block B and C square up.

For transparency, my tie breakers were these (For all of these I didn't count my own list of nominations):
1 - Single highest position
(Example: Orton and Samoa Joe both have 92 points. Orton's highest position on anyone's list was #4, Joe's was #7. Orton gets the higher seed.
If both would've had a #4 spot, it would come to the next highest single position and so on.)
2 - Amount of highest positions
(Example: If Orton and Joe would've both had the exact same highest positions throughout, the amount would've made the difference. Meaning
if Orton would've been #4 on two lists, while Joe only been #4 on one list, Orton would've gotten the higher seed.)
3 - Time of first list sent that involves either of the tied Wrestlers
(Example: In this case, if Orton and Samoa Joe would've been completely tied throughout, the first list I received would've made the difference,
where Orton received 5 points and Joe did not.)

There was a total of 14 lists of nominations with 84 different Wrestlers being nominated. Sadly, that means
20 didn't make it into the final brackets. Here's the full list of nominated Wrestlers and their point total:

Since the very first sent in list Bryan Danielson was on top, but it was a close race for that spot
between him, Styles and Kurt for a long time. Then, with the 11th list I got, AJ was suddenly on
#1 for the first time and stayed there until the second to last list I received, where Styles and
Danielson were suddenly tied by points. Danielson though, with the tie breakers stated above
would've been seeded above AJ, but since I received one more list, it was a bit clearer in the end.
Oh yea... there was only one Wrestler who appeared on every single list and that was AJ Styles.

I want to thank @TOP GUY TIME ; @Chris ; @Tranquilo Jay ; @Canadian Dragon ; @DakotaNorth ; @Keith ;
@Bobby Barrows ; @Daddy Dom ; @The Gipper ; @Hidden Blaze ; @Crocker ; @Skyefire & @Storm Trooper
for their participation in the nominations process by sending in lists.

Keep an eye on the section, everybody. The first round will start soon(ish). ​

 

[Storm Trooper]

damnit I knew I should have put Cardona at #1.

Yea, you should've. I'm pretty sure he even would have had a good chance of winning the first round against Jeff Hardy.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

I fucking knew Danielson was the top guy. My #1 was #1!

 

[Keith]

Interesting mix of talent. Looking forward to this. I'm happy I could get Abyss on this thing. I think he was one of the best big men workers maybe ever, even though his peak was quite short.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

I’ll be honest, Bryan not being the one on every list shocks me a little bit.

He wasn't when you posted that

That makes me think a "Best Big Men/Women Workers" could be something interesting in the future. "Where's the Beef Cup"

So you’re telling me, I knew the future.

Danielson being #1 was the only option for me, so influential, made it at every single level, and once I'd stopped being a CM Punk mark in the early 2000s I was all in on Bryan Danielson, BITW!

I feel really bad for Shingo Takagi's placement (he deserves better!) who may have had the best match I've seen live (vs The Briscoes).

Also, I am SHOCKED to my core that people like Batista Chad Gable, and Pac (as good as Pac is) are above Chris Daniels (possibly the best wrestler to never make it), Rock/Austin don't really belong on here for me, Austin had one year (ish) with a few good matches, Rock had 09-11 where he was keeping RAW at the top of the ratings, but again, his time had been and gone for me.

Jacob Fatu being on the list is laughable, as much as I love everything he does. Having bangers in MLW doesn't seem like the right criteria for me.

Someone may need to explain Gail Kim, and a few of the other women on this list. I guess they are just favourite choices rather than actual suggestions for the greatest (since, y'know, Charlotte Flair (most accomplished), Asuka (best wrestler in WWE), Meiko Satmura (best womens wrestler), Becky Lynch (biggest draw). Kong I get, but man, I'd have saved these women for the women's list.

Other than that, I am gutted I couldn't find space for Omega, MJF, and Ospreay, but knew they'd feature,

Looking forward to this.

Oh and whoever was insane enough to leave AJ off your list, I hope you were the guy who chose Mistico, because god damn if Mexico's biggest draw wasn't featured at all that would be a travesty. (Sorry Mistico, I had to pick Rey over you)

 

[Comrade Khan]

Some Mercedes love, nice. Great list everyone

 

[The Gipper]

Shocked Sting didn't get one vote ngl, he was a close cut from my list.

 

[TOP GUY TIME]

l was the Mistico guy, but AJ did feature on my list so

 

[Chris]

Mistico was my biggest snub, I debated adding him to my list over and over but didn't

 

[Crocker]

I know he gets a lot of hate online but how is Brock only 17th seed? Also Roman should be way higher than 15.
