History
GTT Tournaments
GTT 1 (Global Title Tournament)
PTC's first event, featuring 128 competitors.
The final round of GTT1 featured a matchup between Vampir Nosferatu vs Jay Phoenix. The match aired on PCW Friday Fusion on November 23rd, 2001. This has been the only televised GTT final to date. Vampir won the match and was crowned the first ever PTC Global Champion.
Vampir was later discovered to have used work written by another so was stripped of the title. GTT2 was launched soon after to again find a new Global Chsmpion.
GTT 2
GTT2 started as a 128 person elimination tournament. Sadly, it became PTC's only unfinished tournament to date. White Mexican, Hessian, Seth Masters and Akiyama made the final four, however the tourament was abandoned after the four semi finalists had posted their required promos. It is believed that all judges bunked on their judging assignments.
GTT 3
GTT3 was won by Angelo Deville, last defeating Inphino Blitz.
GTT3 remains PTC's largest event to date, having had 256 starters. It also holds the record for the highest number of no-shows in a single round, with approximately 80 people no-showing round 1.
GTT 4
GTT 4 was won by Doctor Curiosity, who defeated Craig Goat and Exceptional Dave Hurst in the finals of a 192 entrant tournament.
GTT 5
GTT5 was won by Rich 'The Renegade' Rollins, who defeated Shanty Jones in the final.
GTT5 had 128 starters, and required "Hype" by characters before they would be allowed to compete in Round 1. Entrants exceeded all expectations with this directive by embracing the concept and provided hype in writen, audio, graphic and video form.
GTT 6
GTT6 was won by Jason Snow, who would then go on to win the PTC Unified Championship in the unification match featuring the final PTC Global Champion, Clinton Sage, as well as final PTC Extreme Champion, Dusk.
GTT 7
During 2007, PTC management stated that GTT would be rested, and thus would not be held that year.
It was announced on an edition of PTC Radio that GTT7 would begin on January 1 2008, however these plans were put on hold and CWT is being run instead.
There are no current plans to run GTT7 during 2008.
