Alright, i floated this around earlier in the week and i've got it done for the most part.
I've created a tournament out of the 256 best wrestlers since the 1980's. Pretty much the criteria of this is any North American based male champion gets an invite to the tournament to determine who the best is of the last 27 years or so. Simply put i'll put a poll up and whoever we vote would win that match moves onto the next round. Vote however you feel, but the premise is that some how you are god,a nd you have been able to take all these people in their prime and match them up with one another to determine the best.
There are 4 regions. WWE, WCW, ECW, and TNA, simple enough. #1 seeds will get to pick which region they want to be in. So for instance Hulk Hogan is #1 over all, more then likely he would pick WWE. Basic WWE Rules apply int he WWE Region. Say Ric Flair is #2, likely he would pick WCW. Which would leave an interesting situation for say Bret Hart, who could be #3 overall, would he pick to go TNA int he six sided ring, or test his luck in hardcore extreme rules in the ECW bracket.
The first two rounds would take place in the higher seeds building of choice. The first two rounds are pretty much set up to where the higher seeds in each match should cruise to the roudn of 64, where things get interesting there.
The 3rd through 5th round would take place in specified buildings taht best represent each Region. WWE in MSG, WCW in the Georgia Dome, ECW in the Bingo Hall, and TNA in Orlando. But these three rounds are designed to punish the body.
Round 3 would be a gimmick match of choice for the higher seed. So for instance say Big John Studd was a higher seed in a match against Rey Mysterio, the Heel the John is would probably pick a Body Slam challenge match, almost guaranteeing a spot in the 4th round.
Round 4 would be where the Higher seeds lose control and don't get to pick their own destiny. The type of match would be determined by Spin the Wheel make the Deal, or Raw Roulette, whatever you wanna call. Simply, i'll make a list of different matches, place them in a # generator online, and tell you what it comes up as.
Round 5 would be the Regional Finals, where two matches in each area occur. These are matches that are specifically unique to each area and would be determined by coin flip. In WWE, the Two are Hell in the Cell, and TLC. WCW would be the 3 Tiered Cage and TBD. ECW would be Born to Be Wired and Scaffold Match. TNA would be Ultimate X match and Monster's Ball.
The Last three rounds would take place at lets say the Wrestlemania host for that year, so Detroit. It would be set up as a one night tournament, so obviously Stamina and conditioning would be key to people that make it this far.
Again, probably a lot to digest and take in, but i think it would be interesting to see who we collectively think is the best of all time. I am no expert and simply just used individual gold as grounds to make the tournament. if its a success and have more time next eyar, i might incorporate ppv records and pwi rankings, stuff like that.
1.Now is anyone interested in this
2. Mods-Admins: if they are, am I even doing this in the right forum since it's more then just WWE.
3. I have 200 wrestlers and hopefully will get them posted tomorrow, this is where i need you guys. I need 56 wildcards of you're choice to fill this bad boy up.
4. Hopefully it'll be all ready and done and get it started around February 14th and ended the Saturday before WM23. Any questions or if you're just plain lost, send me a message.
