And now, for what you came here for… the contest results! Overall Contest Winners
Jeremy Finestone is the most deserving winner in the history of this contest. He was in first every day from day 3 onwards and solely in first from day 4 onwards and never let up. Jeremy finished having predicted 80 out of 112 block matches correctly which is a staggering 71.4% accuracy rate. The most impressive prediction he had was that, at the beginning of the tournament, he correctly predicted that Jeff Cobb and Shane Haste would go to a draw on night 16. Jeremy was the only person to correctly predict this result and that’s the first time in this contest’s history that a single person has correctly predicted a match’s results. The battle for third place was very hotly contested. There were three people tied based on correct block match predictions at 74: Anthony C, Scotts, and Trevor S. The first level of tie-breakers was correctly predicting block winners and the overall G1 winner. Trevor S. correctly predicted Okada would win the B Block but that was the only tie-breaker point he scored which placed him in fifth. Anthony C and Scotts had identical predictions for all of the block winners and overall G1 winner. They correctly predicted SANADA, David Finlay, and Tetsuya Naito as block winners and also correctly predicted Naito to be the overall G1 winner. Anthony C and Scotts each finished 4 tie-breaker points (more than Trevor S.) but were still tied with each other so we had to go to the next level of tie breakers, that being the the most days with 8 correct predictions. They each had 1 perfect day so we had to go to the next tie-breaker which was the most days with 7 correct predictions. They were tied again with one each. They were also tied with 3 days with 6 correct predictions and 3 days with 5 correct predictions. The tie was finally broken at the sixth layer of tie-breaker since Anthony C had 4 days with 4 correct predictions and Scotts had only 3. It doesn’t get much closer than that, folks! POST Wrestling Family Block
The Master of Wrestlenomics did it! After day 1, Brandon was literally in last place but steadily climbed the ranks and was in second place by day 8. The name we kept hearing was John Kleinchester at the top of the mountain but after Night 13, Brandon leap-frogged the leaders, took hold of first place, and never let it go. Congratulations, Brandon Thurston, on winning the coveted POST Wrestling E Block for 2023. Low Down Davie P lived up to his moniker by sniping second place from John Kleinchester based on tie-breakers. John’s only correct block winner prediction was SANADA but David P correctly guessed Okada, Finlay, and Naito as block winners and Naito as the overall G1 winner to hold on to second place. Sadly, the beloved Wai Ting finished last in the block behind Randobot 2000. Other Contest StatisticsContest Mean, Median, & Mode
