Reason why Zumbi got pulled from the CWC is because he did not make weight. Ibushi was close to doing the same due to arriving to the US 6 lbs over the limit. Wonder what they would have done if Ibushi was a pound over? It is one thing to drop a guy that most have not heard of or isn't one of the big draws, but I cannot see them doing that to Ibushi if he was close but over. They'd stop him from eating lunch that day, weigh him the next day! Interesting that they're legit sticking to the weight limit.

Watched the intro and felt like the Super J Cup intros.
Very good.

Those intros got me very excited, although some of Bryan's soundbytes had me underwhelmed
"He's been here before, feels he has the home field advantage"
"He's the older brother, would like to beat his younger brother"

What does the winner get? A Brogue Kick? A kick to the balls and a pedigree.

He's not a soundbyte guy or a promoter, he's a wrestler. I'm hoping when it comes to ring action he'll shine.

Proudly made the superheavyweight division by weighing over 400 pounds.

Scratch that previous new blurb because Based H gave an interview to a Mexican website, PubliMetro, that they didn't use Zumbi because of work visa issues and hopes to bring him back at a later date. Meanwhile Papa Meltzer said that Zumbi took the ELITE booking over the CWC even though he travelled to Florida and stayed for a couple of days getting a physical & training. Scuttlebutt going around that something DQ'd in his physical. So only Zumbi and Trips officially know why he wasn't used.

I love the presentation so far. A shame they won't air the matches live but I heard somewhere that they were gonna be doing vignettes for each of the participants and they probably wanted to lock them in first before shooting.
