This is easily the most interesting thing WWE's done since nu-NXT was born.

There'll probably be a lot of these dream match scenarios taking place later in the tournament, if only to fill out the TV cards during the finals.

If you look at the list you can see a lot of those wrestlers had tryouts in the past with the WWE so maybe this is an new way WWE could hold tryouts for some. Oh I have no doubt Gulak, ZSJ, Ibushi, Alexander and Doar are likely all signed soon Yup, makes tons of sense too

If we get Tozawa vs Ibushi and Ibushi vs Sabre, this has been a success.

This is going to be the real big test for Triple H seeing most of the wrestlers are non WWE wrestlers here
You can think the WWE will sign few of those wrestlers
It cool they have the bollywood boyz taking part

Needs to be asked, theme music. There are some great themes songs that some of those 32 guys use that match them perfectly and have become synonymous with them over the years. In particular and my favorites being, ZSJ's The Cribs 'Hey Scenesters', Dars Oasis 'Morning Glory, Ibushi Breaking Point '27'. Hey Scenesters is one that I especially love and I think fits Zack perfectly, especially after hearing him come out to it live. We can write off any of these being used for entrances during the tournament due to copyright and how much some of the songs would cost the company to use? Right

The crazy thing is, I'm not terribly interested in the more "known" talent here. I'm super excited to see Ariya Daivari, Zumbi, and the Sihra's getting looks here, though. Still, though.....we couldn't find ANYBODY better than Lince Dorado? The guy who's never met a plancha he couldn't f*** up?

Is it going to be ranking-based or single-elimination?
We get lots more matches if it's ranking-based.

It does make me wonder why they weren't able to pick up Villain Marty Scurll for this considering he is one of the best going today, in or out of the UK.

Sounds like there's a chance Rich Swann may not be able to go because of a shoulder injury. Up in the air.

Right The only person I can see keeping their music is Jack Gallagher. It won't be this mix: ...But still. Better than nothing.

So WWE actually tried to get Ospreay for this thing Unless he falls off massively in the next two years, I feel like WWE will almost certainly be making another play at him when his New Japan contract finishes up. Speaking of which, there's already talk from the Observer that Noam Dar will be staying on after the tournament and getting a WWE contract.

If I was them and Swann can't make it I would make a play for Scurll to replace him instead. And I am sure they have enough money to buy Mark Andrews or Trevor Lee out of their TNA contracts. They are certainly both extremely talented enough and deserve better than TNA, it would be easy to get them out of their current contracts considering TNA can't afford to buy a pair of shoelaces at the moment. Either way plenty of great choices out there despite it being a disappointment if Swann won't be healthy enough to make it in.
