Strong lineup, bringing in big names.
So the tournament I guess would be Cody, Elgin, Lethal, Gunn, Page, Volador, Sabre and Robinson

The lack of Taguchi and Kojima make me want to sell my tickets below face value, and feel sorry for whatever poor schmuck would attend a show without Bread Club and Taguchi-san.

Considering that he's working with them, a bit surprising that WWE would let JR call a live televised show in the US.

He signed this before signing with WWE. His contract with AXS allowed him to work other places. WWE couldn't do anyting about Jim Ross having previous contractual obligations.

The Plan for The Los Angeles Dojo once its reopened and established is to have Rocky Romero serve as the Head Trainer for it.

Also in a move that must be for Tanahashi's health, it will be him vs...BILLY GUN for the IWGP Intercontinental belt
