Well, my most recent attempt at rekindling the Lethal Lottery has kind of withered on the vine, and I'm willing to leave it at that, BUT, I've had a better idea. As soon as I can work out the logistics of it, I'm planning a tournament to crown the greatest World Champion....PERIOD! Champions from the NWA, WWE, WCW, AWA, ROH, AND TNA will enter, and one man will leave the greatest World Champion in history. Now, I will be using one man's accomplishments for his reigns period. For instance, Austin Aries and Samoa Joe have held World Championships in both ROH AND TNA, but will only get one entry in order to cut down on clutter. So, as I said, watch this space, because once I get this narrowed down into the field, we are a GO.

Okay, I've done my math, and, by my count, there are a staggering 159 World Champions between the organizations I've mentioned, so, as you can guess, this is gonna take a minute to bracket out. Bear with me, and when I have everything bracketed, I will return.

Did you count the Japanese federations too or just American based?
If you count New Japan + All Japan + Noah, you might get a more round number?

I'm counting only American based companies this time around, although the Japanese scene is VERY well represented. Plus, my count is screwed up because I accidentally counted some guys twice, but I'll get there. I currently have 21 men left to bracket, so there WILL be a bye recipient, but for the moment, I've gotta go pick my fiancee up from work, so I'll continue my work, and hopefully post the first match, when I come back.

Okay, this tourney is just about ready to kick off. Due to the MASSIVE nature of this bad boy, I'm gonna say 3 votes for the first round to win, purely for the sake of speed. There was a bye winner, and from the AWA, it was one Mad Dog Vachon, who will go straight on to round two. Speaking of the AWA, it is represented in our first match, a battle of old school classics. In this corner... One of THE pillars of the AWA, and a long time, multi-time champion, a mat master, Verne Gagne! vs. A bit of a controversial entrant, as I should have noticed his title reign is disputed, but nevertheless, he's a former NWA World Champion and luminary of the NFL, Leo "The Lion" Nomellini!

And that's three. Up next, two more modern day World Champions. In this corner... As you can see, he's a prolific Champion in the WWE, as well as technically sneaking in a WCW Championship reign under the auspices of the WWF, Chris Jericho! vs. A powerhouse former ECW Champion, Bobby Lashley!

And a quick sweep allows Jericho to bring it home with the Walls of Jericho to move on to round two. Up next, a modern contender takes on a 90's icon. In this corner... A recent TNA World Champion, holding the record for the longest individual reign, Bobby Roode! vs. A former ECW and NWA World Champion, from the Bowery, the ever enigmatic Raven!

2 zip Raven. Up next is an interesting clash between early 90's NWA and modern day WWE.
