Damn The Seeds, Full Steam Ahead Trivia

[Wrestleknownothing]

There are a trio of wrestlers who AA'd three times apiece without being seeded in the top 8. And for each of them it was the only three times they AA'd.

Name them.

[grogs84]

This will give me the answer....I'll let you know when I get back to my computer.

match (w:Wrestler)-[wi:WRESTLED_IN_MATCH]->(m:Match)
where w.seed > 8 and m.round in ['m1', 'm3', 'm5', 'm7']
with w.name as wrestler, collect(m) as medal_rounds
where size(medal_rounds) = 3
return wrestler, medal_rounds

Does this pertain to a specific era?

Earl McCready, Conrad Caldwell, and Jack Van Beeber

[Wrasslin]

Couple of Minnesota guys maybe- Mike Kroells or Sonny Yohn??

Unfortunately not. There were no seeds back in the day so they could not be seeded outside the top 8.

The statement was "without being seeded in the top 8", which they were not.

The seeded eras which began in 1940s

Good work. 1 for 2.

Sonny Yohn from 2010 - 2012 was unseeded, #9, and #10 while finishing 8, 7, 5.

I checked with the esteemed panel of trivia judges and they pointed out it requires seeding to not be seeded in the top 8.

I argued your case hard, but they were unmoved by my pleas.

And as we found out yesterday, 1946 was unseeded, because the east coast guys were lazy and shouldn't be expected to stay in shape.

Yeah, those returning GIs had a reputation for sloth.

Sonny was seeded 8th in 2010. Wouldn't that take him out of the criteria of not being seeded in the top 8?

 

[grogs84]

Also Sonny and Robert have a common opponent connection string...

Good catch. You found a data error on wrestlingstats.com. Their bracket has Sonny Yohn seeded 8th, but their results summary at the beginning has him listed as [US].

So, now there are only two who have achieved this and we are still missing one.

[grogs84]

Is it before 1988? hmm

No, sir.

[Wrestleknownothing]

Combined finish = 13

[grogs84]

hmm. I'm stumped.
