The is the Ultimate Fantasy Tournament Part 1. We started with 128 men from 4 groups:(clicking on the links will take you to that episode.

All of the preliminary tournaments were done by blind draw, and this final tournament would be no different. Steps were taken to insure that wrestlers were spread out evenly so that, for instance, we didn’t have 1 region that was all WWF guys. This episode covers 8 matches:

Goldberg vs. Nick Bockwinkel
Yokozuna vs. Tanahashi
Ric Flair vs. Bruiser Brody
Ted DiBiase vs. Matt Hardy
Booker T vs. Stan Hansen
Okada vs. Bret Hart
Barry Windham vs. Jerry Lawler
Sid Vicious vs. Chris Hero

We share our how’s and why’s to all of our booking decisions.

This is the 4th episode of our Fantasy Tournament and features the Current Wrestler’s Bracket. Remember, the goal of these brackets is to get us down to 16 from each category and not to finish down to 1. The final 64 bracket will be posted very soon. You can also listen to the NWA/WCW, WWF/WWE, and miscellaneous brackets. I’m sure there are a few surprises on here. In a few weeks, we will start making our way through the final 64.

This is the WWE Bracket of our Fantasy Tournament. We started with 128 wrestlers in 4 categories to get down to our eventual final 64. Listen to our episodes on the NWA/WCW Brackets and the Miscellaneous bracket of guys who competed in Japan, ECW, or multiple places. There are some HUGE surprises in this bracket due to the blind draw. While the picture above shows a full bracket we only used this model to get down to 16 wrestlers for our final Fantasy bracket of 64.
