Welcome to the seventh edition of the Smark Out Moment 2023 SMARK MADNESS tournament—our answer to March Madness, but for the world of professional wrestling!
This year, we are celebrating the upcoming clash of legacies between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 by determining the greatest pro wrestling family dynasty of all time!
After five rounds and a qualifier, the finals came down to a Triple Threat between the Anoa'i family, the Hart family and the Rhodes family. The results from the final round are now in (and can be found in more detail here) wherein your winner and choice for the best wrestling dynasty family of all time goes to THE ANOA'I FAMILY!Check out the full bracket along with some statistics and analysis below.
CLOSEST CALL
You can't get any closer than a tie, which happened in the first round between Von Erich and Finlay, as well as the semifinals with Hart against Rhodes. It was actually pretty close in round 2 as well with those two against Funk, which saw Finlay mildly winning with 43.8% over Von Erich's 31.3% and Funk's 25%.
BIGGEST LANDSLIDE VICTORY
It was a complete blowout with Flair beating Vachon and DiBiase beating Rodriguez in Round 1 with 100% of the votes, as well as .
Round 1 also had some 95% victories (Orton over Smith/Roberts, Jarrett over Fifita, McMahon over Snuka, Rhodes over Gunn and nearly Mysterio over Garza (94.7%)
Round 2 saw several 94.1% victories with Orton beating Jarrett, Hart beating DiBiase, Guerrero beating Brisco and Rhodes beating Colon
BIGGEST SHOCKERS
Brisco beating Hennig in Round 1 was a complete surprise. I figured Hennig had this down, if not just because of Mr. Perfect!
I was also surprised about the Von Erich and Finlay tie in Round 1, as well as Finlay beating both Von Erich and Funk in Round 2.
I want to extend a major thanks to everyone who participated in the voting from the qualifying round all the way up until the end, as well as those who shared this on Facebook, Twitter or elsewhere to draw more attention to it and get more people involved.
