The only thing I can remember about Kenzo Suzuki was his appearance in the 2005 Royal Rumble. Then again he only had 4 PPV appearances. (3 of them were Smackdown exclusive nobody watched.) The guy didn't even last 12 months in the WWE so it can be really easy to forget about him.

Next time I run a contest like this I'll be less forgiving with who makes the cut lol.

I rather have Ziggler win the MITB match and have him use this as a steeping stone to get over with the fans and finally turn face. The guy seriously needs a new sense of direction now and this could do wonders for his career if he wins the MITB ladder match.

When he does he could immediately start feuding with Tensai and if he gets consistently beat down from a dirt bag like Tensai (unlike Sheamus every week) the fans will suddenly feel guilt for him and this could easily turn him into fitting as a great babyface for "being held back in his life" for all of these years.

Tensai isn't building very good custom with the casual fans right now so having Ziggler feud with a "big villain" like Tensai might be very refreshing to see with both of them feuding with each other until Survivor Series where Ziggler puts his case on the line and take a page from Punk by getting the fans to follow him as "the best wrestler in the world."

Tag.

The anime is partially the main reason why I put Bulbasuar as my least favorite starter. (But he's still awesome though.) He just didn't show much personality here for me compared to Charmander where he had to live most of miserable life at his stage raised by a low life like Damian and Squirtle had the Squirtle Squad on his side that had him show a somewhat show-off/slick personality side to him that was very likeable.

Bulbasaur does gets his time in the sun later on in one of the later episodes of Season 1 but I'll go into discussion about it later.

Great write-ups so far I have seen I say.

If any match here in the tournament ends up in a tie the match will then continue over to the following day in the contest where everybody is allowed to re-vote again in the match with more likely then not a winner coming out from the aftermath of it in the tie breaker.

In hindsight I'm thinking of also renaming this contest from "Best WWE Wrestler Contest" to "Best WWE Wrestler Tournament" does that sound better to any of it?

GTM posted...

and curious, do you have a list of the wrestlers that didn't make it into the bracket but got nominations?

Indeed I do. The following list of wrestlers below were people that did receive nominations but didn't make the cut for entering into the contest. Maybe I'll take a few of them into consideration if I ever have a contest like this again on Board 8. There weren't too many of them that missed the cut.

Phantasio
Chris Benoit
Chris Kanyon
Mordecai
Ryan Braddock
Konnan
Mikey (The Spirit Squad)
Vladimir Kozlov
Deuce
Lance Cade / Garrison Cade
Curt Hawkins
Sylvain Grenier

So how was the bracket decided? I take it the seeds were mostly based on nominations and you placed them from there?

Looks like a good bracket though. But wow are there some crazy seedings. Mason Ryan a 3 seed while John Cena is an 8, Raven the higher ranked in his match with Sting. A ton of recent wrestler bias in the seeding.

Yes I did. Believe or not the wrestler that received the most nominations over everyone else (with 8 nominations) was Edge.

C.M. Punk was a close second with 7 nominations. Everyone else received either six or less. What I did with those two was have the both of them separated from each other with one of them on one side in Divisions 1-8 and the other in Divisions 9-16. The rest of the one seeds that had the higher amount of nominations besides the two of them were carefully filled out in the bracket in my eyes in what looked like who could face who with each other very well. (I liked the Hart/Savage pairing)

The wrestlers that barely squeezed by in the contest which only got in with only 1 Nomination were filled with mostly wrestlers in the 6-8 seeds. John Cena for one literally got only one nomination.

There were several out there in the nominations list that barely missed the cut that I thought about entering into the contest like Vladimir Kozlov but I just thought it would be best to leave him out. He would of only gotten in as an 8 seed anyway.

What I meant by not involving Tag Teams in the contest was that they couldn't be nominated together as one nomination. The New Age Outlaws are composed of two wrestlers so if you wanted to nominate both of them in the contest but only use one space of your list of nominations up it wouldn't be accepted.

Let's say you wanted to nominate "The Dudley Boyz" You should list Bubba and D-Von as this.

1. Bubba
2. D-Von

Not like this.

1. The Dudley Boyz (Bubba and D-Von)

Both Road Dogg and Billy Gunn got enough support with their nominations separated from one another by certain users that they were allowed in the contest.

Thankfully every single wrestler that is participating in this contest had their name mentioned at least once in the nominations topic. Thanks for supporting this contest you guys.

Now that the tournament is starting earlier then originally posted (July 13) the whole tournament itself will start on this Sunday July 8, 2012.

The contest will start commencing with all of the matches in Division 1 taking place during that day. For all Round 1 matches in the tournament it will involve every single wrestler of that division having a match with their opponent they were properly seeded with thanks to the votes of the users of Board 8.

On - July 8, 2012 - Division 1 will start their opening match in the tournament. Then on - July 9, 2012 - it will then be Division 2's turn and so on and so forth until all 16 divisions of 128 wrestlers had a match with at least someone with the field getting narrowed down bit by bit every round until only one wrestler is left and takes the championship and pride to walk away as the best wrestler to have ever have worked for the WWE by Board 8.

Matches in the tournament (With the exception of the Finals. That will last as a big 72 hour showdown) will all last for roughly 24 hours. With the tournament starting on July 9, 2012 at 9:00 A.M. Central Time. 10:00 A.M. Eastern.

You will be allowed to abstain in voting for wrestlers if you like when a match is posted. For the next sixteen days in the contest it will involve all eight different wrestlers in certain division going up against each with four matches a day.

Please refrain from cheating. I only allow one vote per user per match/es. If anyone is caught cheating from voting at any time in a match please let know right away. I'll help out on my hand for posting all matches in the tournament on time properly.

Have fun with the contest and post any discussion here for the bracket placement for certain wrestlers here in the tournament. Feel here for sharing your questions here involving the contest as well.

Make sure you start voting for this contest on July 9. Have fun now Board 8.

Okay. So to summarize all of this up the best I can you may have noticed that by the topic titles name with what this means. If you read back over the nominations topic I created (that still is open but nominations are closed obviously with the bracket now officially up) I decided to be rebellious over my own contest I have created myself that's also partially fault of me being so impatient and stubborn sometimes that I decided to have my own contest here get underway as soon as possible.

We don't necessarily like to share our own personal life stories here at Board 8 but I would like to share mine with you briefly. While nominations were still open it made me realize that during the deadline when nominations would be closed in the contest (July 13) to the point when the tournament would begin and end it would come close to a "certain big day" August 27. That would be the day I would start College for my first year as a Freshmen.

Now not only is that a day that could effect anything in the slightest that would throw the tournament off course for a day for the reason being I would be away from College at the beginning course for the year with it effecting everything around me in my life I would just like that while I am still on Summer Vacation to watch over this tournament here at Board 8 to see how all of it will go. Getting the show on the road per say as soon as possible.

The summer period is really the only time I can ever find on my own I can spend my time during the year to visit Board 8. So if anything happens to the contest because college is getting in the way I probably won't come back to visit Board 8 during any other time period other then during the summer so while we have some more time on my hands to put to good use rather then wasting time waiting for nobody to nominate anybody in nominations topic (wrestlers specially) for my contest I would just think it would be best to start it right away.

Besides I'm sure all of you won't be starting to go back to school and/or work on the same day as me in August. Mine's August 27 and your guys might be during the week of August 13 or August 20. I don't know.

After looking at a contest like vcharon is working on (the Save My Robot/Android one where it started once 100 robot like characters were nominated) it would only seem fair to start a contest like this that had nominations open longer where not that many people nominated in anyway start now. If it's alright with all of you.

As of July 5, 2012 (which is today!) I took some time creating a bracket of 128 Wrestlers male and female together thanks to the help of the users that nominated entries into this contest for a fun little contest I'm sure all of you wouldn't mind participating in for voting a few times in at any rate.

The full bracket for the contest can be seen below the following link underneath all of this. Please don't send in any predictions via bracketmaker unless you want too. If your too lazy to click on the link below all of this to see what wrestlers made the cut and who will be facing who in the following matches.
