Stay connected for news and updates

Three out of 64 isn't so bad, right?

A triple threat match to determine third place in the Cageside Seats Pro Wrestling Tournament (and fourth and fifth, respectively) was held yesterday (Aug. 25, 2012) with the losers in the Final Five round battling it out in a sprint to the finish.

As it turns out The Rock (65 votes) was better than Undertaker (41 votes) and Hulk Hogan (29 votes).

In some ways it probably would have been more interesting to simply hold a rematch between Rock and Undertaker after their thrilling tie in the Elite Eight round. Instead, Hogan split some of the vote and "The Great One" comes away with the win.

According to you Cagesiders, he's the third best ever. But who is the greatest of all time? We'll find out next week when Stone Cold Steve Austin takes on Randy Savage in the Finals.

In the meantime, take a look at the vote tally list and updated bracket after the jump.

Update: Initial vote tally had The Rock - 64, Undertaker - 41 and Hulk Hogan - 29; after careful review the correct tally was actually Rock - 65, Hogan and Taker remaining the same. Apologies to TheMasterGeek and T267 whose votes were either tallied incorrectly or omitted.
