WWE Bracketology Part Two: Who Is the Greatest Wrestler of All Time?

Christopher OlmsteadMay 31, 2018

This is part two of the WWE Bracketology series.

In part two you will find out who won the vote for the No. 16 seeds and you will have the opportunity to vote on the opening rounds of each region.

The first region that there will be voting on is the Hulkamania Region. There is also going to be a sneak peek at the next region.

So, let's get to the voting!

Criteria and Rules

1 of 5

Criteria:

The method to come up with these 68 names wasn't an exact science.

The first step was to look through all of the WWE, WCW and TNA World Champions. Once this was done, the majority of my list was complete.

To fill the final spots I looked at many lists citing the greatest wrestlers to never be world champion. This was not the end-all, though, because I also took into consideration upper mid-level talent that dominated middle divisions.

I was looking for wrestlers with great and unique accomplishments. I was also looking for great in-ring workers with good characters, great mic skills and those who possessed the overall package.

The list has a little bit of everything in it.

Voting:

Voting will take place over the span of the next couple of weeks.

The play-in round will be voted on first, followed by the opening rounds in each region.

I will allow 24-48 hours between each round of voting.

If the article happens to be removed from the B/R page, I will have the link to the B/R article on my Twitter. (@whooyouknowit)

In order to vote, you will need to comment on the article with your selections for each posted round or tweet it to me.

Luger had all of the tools to be the face of wither WWE or WCW, but it just never happened. Luger is a former winner of the Royal Rumble match. Aside from his Rumble win, Luger doesn't have any other noteworthy championships to speak of.

No. 6 AJ Styles vs. No. 11 Christian

No. 7 Ultimate Warrior vs. No. 10 British Bulldog
