Since seeding began in 1940 there have been eight instances where a wrestler has beaten the top 3 seeds in a single tournament.

The first four are old so I will give you those.



Can you name the fantastic four who have done it since the turn of the century?

I'll give another clue to help. It can't be a 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 16, 20, 24, 28 or 32 seed. That should make it easier.
You are missing two. As you can see above und W Seed (for winners seed), it can be the #6 too. Actually three of the four are #6 seeds. It can also be the #9 seed if you want to do some of your work on the back side (the other did).

I listed the seeds who they couldn't be. But you are correct, the #6 is on the bottom half with the #2 and #3. And I wasnt thinking losers bracket victories, so you got me there. I was thinking winning on the bottom half and then meeting the one seed in the final to win the NC.

Ah, reading comprehension. Clearly not my strong suit. Apparently the 't is important.
