[WIP] Iron Realms: browser strategy game in Alpha, plus a wrestling ranking we'd like you to break

[PlayIronRealms Team]

This is the PlayIronRealms.com team, sharing our own project.

Iron Realms is a strategy game that runs in the browser, with no install. It features AI Residents (clearly labelled as AI), a GM Mode and a wrestling GOAT list. Free to play. No pay-to-win. v2.0 entered Alpha on 14 Oct 2026. Play it at https://playironrealms.com/

We built something else on the same site that this crowd might enjoy taking apart: an all-time professional wrestling GOAT list. It covers thousands of wrestlers, each with a score, a breakdown and an evidence tier. The list page is plain HTML and needs no JavaScript. Everything, including the ranking, the record and the working, is in the markup.

The most debatable spot is the cliff at the end of the Calibrated tier. #50 is Paul Heyman at 89.92. #51 is Tully Blanchard at 81.84, a Historical Index entry, because his career peaked before the PWI 500 began in 1991. That's an 8.08-point drop between neighbours. Is that the model being honest about thin evidence, or the model being wrong? You tell us.

 

Prove our ranking wrong:

1. Grab the JSON (generated 2026-10-06): https://playironrealms.com/site/wrestling/data/ranking.json
2. Check the list: https://playironrealms.com/site/wrestling/goat/
3. Put two wrestlers side by side: https://playironrealms.com/site/wrestling/compare/
4. Reply with the wrestler, the term you think is off and your evidence.

The data is free to download; cite with attribution and state the evidence tier. If you build your own visualisation or tool on it, post it in the thread. We'd like to see it.

Rib the call, not the people making it. We'll reply to every evidenced challenge.
