There you have it. Those are my picks. I kind of wonder how you slotted them though, because I don't see how Zack Ryder would be 7... especially below Santino. :P

Thanks for voting!

I know it's kind of random, and I know people are going to complain about how people are ranked, but it's not going to be perfect and ultimately the people will determine the outcome via voting. I see both Ryder and Santino as Cinderella teams, lol. They are underdogs inherently, so I slotted them low, with Santino getting the edge due to being the current U.S. champion.

lol no problem.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, I was just curious how you decided to rank them the way you did. For me, it's really unimportant, since no matter what, generally the same people will be at the end.

And as John Cena said on Raw last week, "No one remembers second place".

So really, it doesn't matter the order. Odds are the IWC favorites will probably be at the end. So you could probably slot Zack Ryder almost anywhere, and odds are he'd be in the final four :P

Re: 2012 March Madness Greatest WWE Superstar Bracket

I changed it up so you can see how the votes are tallying up in the original post.

By the way, I voted...

Punk
Truth (this one was easier for me as I'm not a Kofi fan)
Rey (I like him in ring better than Santino)
Cena

Jericho
Del Rio (Hard for me too Matrix, but I knew Dolph would landslide here)
Miz
Kane

Orton
Sin Cara
Big Show
Sheamus

Bryan
Barrett (This was surprisingly as hard as Del Rio-Ziggler. I REALLY appreciated Henry's run this year).
Rhodes
Christian

I can already tell you who my Finals are, lol. Wonder if anyone can guess.

I know who my finals would be too, but I also know that my opinions differ vastly from the IWC and my finals have a snowballs chance in hell of actually happening here, lol.
