Yeah, can't say I've heard of Lun, but that's exactly what they should be doing in this, getting people who aren't as well known alongside the indy standouts.
This begs the question though, who's gonna come from the Pro Rev qualifiers? I assumed it'd just be a way to show Sabre off, but seeing as he's already in, who knows?
EDIT: Google-Fu has led me to this vid which I can only assume is the correct dude:
If so, looks decent enough. Wonder if they're gonna have any other relatively unknowns?
Also, dude looks about 12.

Heard a few rumors of other potential names but no confirmation. Speedball supposedly WAS going to be invited, but...

Nice. I've just picked up Progress on-demand and I can't get enough of Dar. He's maybe not the most impressive person in ring (still very good), but he definitely has a way with the crowd.

If only there was a chance for Will Ospreay to do both GCS and SJC this year He is the premier high flyer in the world right now, in a style that is absolutely packed with amazing talent, he is head and shoulders above the rest in move set innovation/dives/match quality/bumping

What about luchadors that aren't already hired by the company (Sombra)? Would love for then to get Fenix, but I don't think LU/AAA guts will be able to participate :-(
