No more tiers...

[Threadkilla]

I have an idea.  Lets have guys qualify for a tournament then  get seeded then we will rank them but I don't think that's enough.  Let's further break it down into tiers which will make it that much clearer.  Then we can rank the guys in the individual tiers.  What do you think?   It feels like I'm missing something.

I feel like I am missing something as well.

There have been threads made and discussions about tiers.  Flo dedicated a show to "Tiers" for every weight class.  Why?  I guess its wrestling talk, but aren't rankings and  seeds sufficient?

its a lot harder to be wrong when you're dealing in tiers, one reason pyles takes so long to say anything is that he's afraid of saying anything anything he'll be proven wrong about later.

I agree the tiers talk is boring, but there’s not really much to talk about…

how about how specific head to head match-ups would go down and why they think so.

Would DI, DII & DIII be considered tiers?

Why though? I'm not trying to be sarcastic...I genuinely don't get the point of this.

I appreciate the topic because talking about tiers is a adding a useless layer of abstraction that makes no sense in the context of wrestling.

Ok...so just mocking Flo trying to drum up content? That makes sense.

Let's implement a promotion and relegation system!

I've always liked that idea.

P&R in wrestling would be boring. It would be very Big Ten/Big 12-heavy anyway and wouldn't do anything to loosen PSU's vice grip at the very top. I don't think relegation matches would draw much interest, esp at the lower tiers.
