AEW Round Robin tournament: Continental Classic Thread

[markymark]

Dragon is the first entrant, who should be the other 11?

[Hypnosis]

Hoping Malakai gets in so that match with him and Danielson can happen.

[Bang Bang Bart]

What’s the prize at stake?

[Cyno]

I've wanted an American company to do a G1-style round robin tournament for the longest time and now it's happening. Can't wait.

[Kalmia]

I've been hoping for AEW to do a tournament in this style since it started so this announcement made me very happy. It always seemed tailor made for AEW so I'm surprised it took them this long.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

It's going to provide some great matches with stakes behind them - especially for Rampage and Collision. I hope the Rammers get the most ridiculous pairings.

Keep an eye on it

Ratings threats are probably going to be interminable but I can't even care, AEW doing a G1-style tournament is a f***ing dream.

[Allie Kitsune]

Put Double J in it and let him be the Toru Yano equivalent, you cowards.

[Lupin the Third]

A 12 Large Tournament?

Hopefully, Eddie can win this one too.

[mystermystery]

Right...so....

Uh...

Serpentico, right?

Who is going to be the Toru Yano? lol

[polarbearpete]

That should be a lot of fun

They would have been with or without this, let's be real lol

[Cyno]

Jarrett absolutely needs to be the Toru Yano of the tournament.

And Lance Archer needs to be the Lance Archer.

It hasn't been stated yet, they might just want the winner of this to have the Tournament win be the main prize

But that being said whether they confirm it or not, the person who wins this likely is a number one contender for the world title to beat the wrestlers they'd have to beat to win the thing.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Definitely think this is where we see some of the MJF challengers, like Joe and Wardlow

I would love to see Jeff Jarrett in it as the Toru Yano esque member

Lance Archer should be in no question because Archer in G1's RULED

Curious if we see Hangman, Swerve, Takeshita, Omega, Jericho. Only 12 spots so we're likely to see a few omissions, but the crop of 12 is likely gonna be awesome regardless.

Agree with it adding stakes to every show though and potential must see matches (A way for Danielson to get a ton of big matches in as well), so I'm excited to see how it shakes out.

[firsttimelongtime]

Danielson about to wear his version of the Undertaker phantom mask?

Good idea, I hope they announce the winner gets a world title match at a specific date. Next PPV? Would make it feel even bigger.

Really want RUSH in it!!

[Bang Bang Bart]

I guess if they want to make this AEW's G1, having the winner get a shot at the world title makes sense.
