[Thriller Ant]

I'm interested to see where the Shield show up. Rollins has the biggest indy pedigree, but all three have been pushed really hard since their debut, despite not really having the gold to back it up.

 

[Kermit]

Wow, I didn't realize it was already that time of year again. DB was 23 last year, but I see him jumping up into the mid-teens, maybe higher.

I'll dust off the old prediction contest equipment and get ready for the draw.

 

[Danger Burger]

I'm interested in AJ Styles position, not being part of any major player at the mo.

 

[Dirk]

After winning last year, Hull Kogan's probably top seed?

[deem]

Pure kayfabe rankings from me there - obviously Bryan will be a hell of a lot higher and in a months time I'd say he would be pretty likely to make my top 30 in terms of kayfabe too. For now, other than the clean win over Cena there isn't too many stand out wins over credible opponents to put him in a higher slot for me

I predict he is top 20 seed here though for sure

 

[klunderbunker]

The seeds are set!

 

[Dirk]

I'm interested in AJ Styles position, not being part of any major player at the mo.

One of your countrymen is going to take a shit on your doorstep tonight.

 

[nightmare]

(fingers crossed) Its time. Barry Horowitz 2014.

 

[Nate DaMac]

Hogan won last year?

 

[klunderbunker]

A quick rundown on how this is going to work.

I've had a panel of our best posters send me a list of their top 128 wrestlers. I've scored and tallied the lists (128 points for #1, 127 points for #1 and so on down to 1 point for #128) and put them in order. The top four scores will be the #1 seeds, the fifth through eighth will be the #2 seeds and so on.

We'll use a snake system to determine regions, meaning seeding goes int he following order:


WWE
WCW
TNA
International
International
TNA
WCW
WWE

And then it starts over again.

Starting Thursday I'll be setting up the first four sets of matches with voting opening 24 hours later. Voting will be open four days for the first two rounds, five for the third and fourth rounds, six for the fifth and six rounds and a week for the championship round.

The first two rounds are stand alone matches.
The third round is gimmick matches.
The fourth round is big gimmick matches.
The fifth through seventh rounds are a one night tournament, King of the Ring style.

Last wrestler standing wins.

Ask any questions you have.

 

[klunderbunker]

500 rep points for someone to keep track of this as I go.

 

[deem]

yh on it. if you want a more regular poster, use them first and mine as a back-up

 

[Bernkastel]

500 rep points for someone to keep track of this as I go.

I did that last year and I never got my 500. So I expect 1000.

 

[klunderbunker]

You're fine Deem.

We should be starting in about five minutes.

 

[klunderbunker]

There's your 500 Ech.

 

[Bernkastel]

Awesome. In return I shall give you a detailed list.

I'll assume my invitation got lost in the mail

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

I'll guess I'll voice my thoughts as we go along.

It's a conspiracy to make sure Daniel Bryan doesn't reach the finals.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

It's a conspiracy to make sure Daniel Bryan doesn't reach the finals.

There certainly was someone who was parroting Triple H on the forums a couple of days ago.

 

[Bernkastel]

It's a conspiracy to make sure Daniel Bryan doesn't reach the finals.

It's what's best for business.

 

[klunderbunker]

Let's get to it! If you're trying to figure out a match later on, the overall seeds should add up to 129 every time.

WWE #1, #1 Overall: Hulk Hogan

WCW #1, #2 Overall: Steve Austin

TNA #1, #3 Overall: John Cena

International #1, #4 Overall: Ric Flair

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

I'm a little surprised with Flair getting the 1st seed, I thought it would go to Bruno or Thesz. It's certainly acceptable though.
