If that's the exact bracket from top to bottom, then my predictions are:
2nd round:
Ricochet/Swann vs Elgin/Cage Future Shock vs Steenerico
Finals:
Elgin/Cage vs Future Shock
Winners:
Future Shock

Ehhh I disagree with Loser I wasn't a big fan of the PWG ladder match, I thought the ROH one had a better crowd, told a story as opposed to a bunch of moves, and had amazing buildup as opposed to being a random announcement just to do it To be fair, a lot of the stipulations of PWG gimmick matches (aside from GW as Loser explained, almost always have a reasoning behind them) happen away from the DVDs. Usually from people suggesting stipulations or variables to matches to Excalibur or other wrestlers at different shows; on the PWG message board. I remember that at DTABM, PWG had hinted at a ladder match for Threemendous III and people on the message board spent that whole month and a half before talking about and hoping for a ladder match. Maybe PWG should do a better job of explaining this on DVDs, but to those attending the live shows, a lot of their stipulations make sense since we (the fans) were the ones requesting them before the shows.

That ROH crowd was absolutely awful, one of the worst, even by NYC's shitty standards. The PWG crowd blew the ROH crowd away.

Honestly, I don't see Future Shock winning DDT4. They might make it to the finals but I don't see them winning the whole thing.

Hard and Strong got over huge with the crowd at Mystery Vortex and PWG might strike while the iron's hot and give them a deep run if not the tag belts by the end of the tourney.

I kind of hope they switch the belts more than once this year to make it a little more wild. The champions always getting to the finals is a little too played out.
I see the Bucks over World-1 I, Elgin/Cage over SSB, Edwards/Strong over Future Shock, and Briscoes over Steen/Generico.
Then depending on how they organise the second round I see the finals being either Elgin/Cage against Edwards/Strong, or Elgin/Cage against the Bucks. Any way it goes I see Elgin/Cage making it to the finals.

With the rocket they've strapped to Cole, I just can't see them letting him lose in the first round. Even by association via Kyle taking the fall. And, honestly, I hope they don't.
Then again, never been a fan of Strong or Edwards. So I admit I'm a little biased, but I also stand by the statement that it would be a bad booking move on their part.

Would it be okay if I asked why? Cole's already on top as PWG champ. He still hasn't been champ long enough to make a double crown reign legitimate in my eyes. Besides, why would you make Hard & Strong look like a million bucks one show just to make them 1st round jobbers the next? Besides, I think we're all forgetting about the annual PWG title defense at DDT4.

Besides, I think we're all forgetting about the annual PWG title defense at DDT4. Because, while he does have the belt, Cole is still being groomed into a top talent in my opinion. And, I'm of the belief one shouldn't have their top champion take too many falls. Now, I'm not saying Future Shock should win the entire tournament. I just think it would be a bad idea to have them drop out in the first round. Though yeah, I wouldn't want a double reign for Cole either. That's become far too much of a norm in PWG the past few years and I feel it's started to lose some shine to it. As for Edwards & Strong, that's just it though, they're a brand new tag team in PWG. Future Shock's past is well acknowledged and they've been teaming for some time now. I think it wouldn't hurt Hard & Strong to take a loss here. In fact, I think it could be used to build a storyline for them, they face a hurtle, fall, pick themselves back up and try to retool & keep going. Then again, I also admit I'm partial to teams and/or wrestlers that don't have an easy time of it. I think it would make people more invested in Edwards' and Strong's journey if they had to struggle a little, rather than plowing through the PWG Champion & his long time team mate.

With Cole champion, I don't see PWG putting much future stock (HAHAHAHA) into Future Shock as a team. I can see Cole turning on O'Reilly, giving Dojo Bros the win, then Cole announcing Dojo Bros: the stable. Or maybe O'Reilly takes the fall and Cole attacks him for the loss (setting up a title match later that night). Personally I'd like Future Shock to advance sneakily (like when Cole beat Generico) & doing a rematch with SSB from last year, only this time as heels.
I hope it's Sleazy Kyle from BOLA who teams with Cole. Fits well with the whole "Playboy" thing.

Predictions
- Super Smash Bros. over Unbreakable F***ing Machines to retain the PWG Tag Titles - Dojo Bros over Future Shock - Generico/Steen over Briscoes - Ricochet/Swann over Young Bucks
Semis
- Super Smash Bros. over Dojo Bros to retain the PWG Tag Titles - Generico/Steen over Ricochet/Swann
Final
- Super Smash Bros. over Generico/Steen to retain the PWG Tag Titles/win DDT4
Also Drake beats Sami so a 3rd match can happen. Also think Cole will have an impromptu title defense. Cole/Elgin would be sweet.

Oh. I don't know why I thought of this just now, but a few months back, before an NWA Hollywood show, I think it was Ryan Taylor who came up with the best idea for revealing Papa Taylor. Papa Taylor would be.... {Spoiler} Johnny Goodtime's beard
