mackie Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 The philly card looks like it could be really good but the other 2 look like an odd mix of really solid matches and matches that have been picked randomly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackhennessey Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 No Europe on the belt?! BUT Australia.. pretty sure that not even a continent lol  not to be super pedantic or arsey just noticed that. Other than that the belt plate and the design looks LOVELY woulda been a bit better gold but 'spose too many gold belts and its looses the appeal of the "main" belt etc  Im guessing this is gonna be competed mainly by gaijins overseas and then at important shows in Japan.... just an idea. Im gonna predict MVP as the winner of the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im gonna predict MVP as the winner of the tournament.  Europe (well, Eurasia) is on the centre plate above the IWGP. The UK is under the "CO" in Intercontinental.  As for the winner, it's either MVP, Yano or Naito. It depends on if they want it to be a secondary singles title to build guys towards the main event.

The Dart Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I read the show had 600 fans, but was announced as 1,800. I found that quite comical. Sounds good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixteen Degrees Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 The New York show seems to have been between 1000-1200 according to live reports. Low-Ki vs. Devitt is getting almost unanimously called match of the night. Â On the Philadelphia show tonight, after Bad Intentions (Giant Bernard & Karl Anderson) beat Satoshi Kojima & MVP, Lance Hoyt of all people attacked Kojima and MVP made the save.
