Why do I have a feeling that Jay Lethal will make it to the finals and possibly win it all?

Joe Hendry: I'm tired of being disrespected and this company constantly having guests come in and take the spots from me and my Prestige.
Also Joe Hendry: I'm challenging Jack Swagger to a match for MY WCPW title!
(I know, I know, heels are hypocritical but man, The Prestige SUCKS)

KUSHIDA (JPN) vs. Zack Sabre Jr. (ENG) Hiromu Takahashi (JPN) vs. Ricochet (USA) Penta El Zero M (MEX) vs. Rey Mysterio (MEX) Travis Banks (NZL) vs. Joe Coffey (SCO)
Zack Sabre Jr. (ENG) vs. Hiromu Takahashi (JPN) Penta El Zero M (MEX) vs. Joe Coffey (SCO)

I may be a mark for the man, but at least I admit it. CERO MIEDO!

The final stages of the Pro Wrestling World Cup start tonight at 7pm UK (2pm EST) on YouTube from Milton Keynes, but there's a problem - Michael Elgin says that contractually he can't make the shows, so they're going to have to find a Canadian from somewhere to replace him at short notice. Think El Phantasmo, who now lives in the UK, would be the most likely fill-in.

I mean, understandable partially considering the deals that had to be made and the booking that has to be changed and those can't be helped but still.

Agreed, the Ospreay/Bailey match was awesome. We all know Ospreay but Bailey was very impressive. Wonder when his visa problems with regards to wrestling in the US are over.

Last I heard,unless Bailey wants to spend a shithole of money on a good lawyer,he has 3 or 4 more years before he can come back into the States.

{Spoiler}So KUSHIDA won the Pro Wrestling World Cup in a pretty good match with Osprey who was playing underdog after taking a beating from Ricochet in the semi final match. Didn't see some of the other matches but got to see most of the WCPW title match and...Swagger doesn't look great. At all. The match was alright but they really need to stop getting anyone and everyone on shows just because.

Will probably lead to something bigger down the line and it added to the story, especially with how close he came.

KUSHIDA's World Cup win looks like being part of the build to KUSHIDA/Ospreay at the Dome where Ospreay will finally get his big win.

Just something to add because they put a clip of what happened after the stream was cut off recently... {Spoiler}Your entire tournament, months and months of build and matches and qualifiers...was all to give heat to The Prestige. I wanted to scream into a pillow for a good few hours

{Spoiler}That was the bloody worst, and they have the cheek to go on about the WWE's booking...

That was the bloody worst, and they have the cheek to go on about the WWE's booking... {Spoiler}And just like the lousy Drew McIntyre title match inclusion, the build literally started the week before. So instead of being invested in the months of stuff you're doing, you're seeing the payoff to a super rushed storyline.
It's pretty much the 'Ellsworth gets the briefcase for Carmella' scenario. Why should we take your tournament seriously again if it can't even be allowed to breathe for a second after it ends?
