lightningxlock Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 #16 and the final entrant: Colt Cabana  Not to sound like a spoilt brat but not quite what I was hoping for. Oh well, im sure it'll still be damn good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobystag Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hmm, while Cabana as the last name does seem like a bit of a let down, there's more than enough talent in there to make it work. Definitely some very interesting first time combinations and rematches they could do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightningxlock Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 The biggest issue is that ever since he got released, everyone was certain it'd be Low Ki. Call it jumping the gun, but when wXw took nearly 2 weeks to announce the last guy it was looking even more like it would be Ki, so Cabana just comes off as kind've average. But hopefully we'll get a motivated Cabana thats more interested in serious matches as opposed to his comedy routine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobystag Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I dunno, Cabana is pretty much different from EVERYBODY else announced, so his match will bring something different to the mix. Â Cabana, while he will always put on the sweet technical wrestling, will always bring the comedy because that's what people expect and want from a Cabana match. Out of the 16 guys announced, none of them do comedy as well as Cabana does, but a fair few of them could provide a great technical contest against him, whilst playing the straight man. Â Oh and because it appears a full list is not yet available, to save people from browsing the thread: Â 1. Zack Sabre jr. (Isle of Sheppey, UK) 2. Davey Richards (Othello, WA, USA) 3. El Generico (Tijuana, MEX) 4. Johnny Moss (Egremont, UK) 5. Carnage (Oberhausen, D) 6. Yoshihito Sasaki (Saitama, JAP) 7. Jon Ryan (Medway, UK) 8. Tommy End (Amsterdam, NL) 9. Mark Haskins (Oxford, UK) 10. "The New Horror" Sami Callihan (Bellefontaine, OH, USA) 11. Adam Cole (Panama City, FL, USA) 12. Kotaro Suzuki (Saitama, JAP) 13. Go Shiozaki (Kumamoto, JAP) 14. Rico Bushido (Haarlem, NL) 15. Big van Walter (Wien, A) 16. "Classic" Colt Cabana (Chicago, IL, USA) Â So really with guys like Sabre Jnr, Richards, Moss, Sasaki, Ryan, Callihan, Shiozaki, Bushido and Van Walter, there are a lot of guys in there who have absolutely no qualms about smacking the hell out of their opponents. Even guys like Generico, Haskins, Cole and Suzuki can notch the stiffness up when it's required. Â There are a lot of potential combinations in there I'd love to see. Â -Sabre Jnr vs Richards -Sabre Jnr vs Suzuki -Shiozaki vs Sasaki (if interpromotional politics don't come into play.) -Shiozaki vs Richards (I know this happened at both KOE and 16 Carat 2007, but at KOE that match remains one of my favourite live matches, and to see Shiozaki vs Richards in 2011.... Oh yes please) Â I couldn't even really begin to fantasy book this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightningxlock Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 It's still gonna' be sickeningly awesome no matter how you slice it really, isn't it?! The two im looking for are:  Davey Richards vs Yoshihito Sasaki Davey Richards vs Zack Sabre Jr  Would be well up for Mossy vs Go, say in the first round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightningxlock Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Infact, I REALLY wouldn't mind a Sami Callihan vs Sasaki match what with them both having very similar styles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobystag Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I know Alan said (or at least agreed) on another board that Callihan vs Shiozaki could be awesome in theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobystag Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Bad Bones v Daisuke Sekimoto in a non-tournament match is on Night 1. Â That was announced on the previous page. Â Hopefully that means a Sekimoto/Sasaki tag match or singles match might also happen over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
