We’ll post regular updates here on the main Pulse Wrestling page, with the finals taking place on Wrestlemania Weekend, so keep checking back here for the latest on MARCH FIGURES MADNESS!

*Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Rey Mysterio, Jr., are not on the RAW or Smackdown lists, respectively, due to being injured, but we decided to include them on the list of all-timers since they both headlined Wrestlemania as recently as a year ago — therefore, DAY ONE actually has FIVE match-ups, including a tie-breaker match between HHH and Rey.

Editor’s Note: No figures were harmed during the creation of this tournament. All figures are from Jakks-Pacific… and yes, those used in this feature are all from PK’s personal collection.
