It was announced on Monday that Jeopardy will be hosting its “Greatest of All Time” tournament next year. When he was asked if “Steiner Math” would apply, James Holzhauer, who currently holds the single-game winnings record and made a total of $2.46 million, tweeted the following:
See, normally if you go one on one with another @Jeopardy contestant, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add @bradrutter to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down.

So @KenJennings, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning the GOAT. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning the GOAT.

Of course, his tweets are a play from when Scott Steiner was set to face Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle in a three-way match. If you’ve never seen the promo, you can check it out below:
