patiirc Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 This thing looks to be immense. I've seen 9 of the competitors over the years and there's some mouth watering clashes that appeal Tozawa vs ZSJ, Rich Swann vs Ciampa, Noam vs Tajiri, Kendrick vs Gallagher. and so forth and so on. Without overloading the brit aspect. Bubblegum and Ligs, would not be amiss in this tournament amongst many many others. I'd kill to see Ligs vs Tozawa II at some point!

Snitsky's back acne Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Really cool looking page on wwe.com dedicated to the show: Seems Fabian Aichner is Adrian Severe, who works out of Germany, and Clement Petiot is France's Tristan Archer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon-Carr_92 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I used to love Tajiri. He was the first I saw who handspringed off the ropes and used to go crazy for that. I still remember his baggy trousers and thinking they looked like a bin liner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Have they announced how this will work then?Is it a single elimination tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Doing it as a single elimination tournament means a total of 31 individual matches. You could maybe the last eight, which would usually be the quater finals, two fatal four ways to reduce it slightly and have the final between the two winners of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Oh yeah I know it was being done over a period of time, but would still be a hell of a lot matches. I was just brainstorming a way they could reduce the number slightly I'd like them to do a random drawing for each other rather than a set of brackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Are they not taping each Round at each taping, so sixteen matches next week, 8 the July taping, then I'd imagine the semi and final at the last event, with maybe some of the best losers getting matches to beef out the card.

simonworden Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Is it all being recorded previous to being shown or will they record then show every so often? Thought I heard the end was a live special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOKER T-axi Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I wonder who has pushed for this tournament the hardest? Triple H, Regal or others? The potential for this is incredible and if it goes well then i hope it becomes an annual occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted June 19, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2016 So who's placing odds for the amount of guys to get injured in-between tapings? It's a very risky move, especially with the hard-hittng indy style being what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Amazing Red had to pull out, didn't he? I did read that. I also read that they wanted Will Ospreay in it as well, even going so far as to try to get New Japan to allow him to wrestle in the tournament and then go back to New Japan.

Think TNA wanted him as well until they found out New Japan offered him the deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
