Good looking field so far, but man, now I really hope Alex Shelley is able to work ROH and Impact at the same time and really, really wish KUSHIDA was available for this.
Main question for me is going to be how this will impact the TV title. That belt has become sort of the default secondary title when it could probably stand to be used more as, well...a TV title, but I guess we'll see.
The participants (in alphabetical order) revealed thus far are:
-- PJ Black
-- Tony Deppen
-- David Finlay
-- Jonathan Gresham
-- Jay Lethal
-- Rocky Romero
-- Matt Sydal
-- Tracy Williams
-- Josh Woods
-- Wheeler Yuta

The rules for Pure matches are as follows:
-- Every match begins and ends with the Code of Honor handshake.
-- Each wrestler has three rope breaks to stop submission holds and pinfalls. After a wrestler exhausts his rope breaks, submission and pin attempts on or under the ropes by his opponent are legal.
-- Closed-fist punches to the face are not permitted; only open-handed slaps or chops to the face are allowed. Punches to other parts of the body are permitted, excluding low blows. The first use of a closed fist will get a warning; the second will be a disqualification.
-- As in standard ROH matches, there will be a 20-count when a wrestler is on the floor.
-- Outside interference will result in automatic termination from the roster for the wrestler that interferes.
-- There will be two blocks, single-elimination format.
-- Round 1 matches have a 15-minute time limit.
-- Block semifinals have a 20-minute time limit.
-- Block finals have a 30-minute time limit.
-- The tournament final has a one-hour time limit.
-- There will be three judges for each match, and time-limit draws will go to a judges’ decision.
-- PJ Black
-- Tony Deppen
