One of the coolest ideas WWE has had in a long time. I just hope the action lives up to the idea, or more accurately that I enjoy the action, because I've never been a huge fan of high-fliers outside of WCW's cruiserweights and RVD.

You know, come to think of it, probably the reason they opted for the WCW-style turnbuckle covers is because those are more commonly used on the indies, so it's one less thing they have to learn to work with.

Interesting, TJ Perkins will be representing the Philippines instead of the USA. After previously representing both Japan and Mexico as Puma

I figured it was because more surface area = better footing for top rope moves. Similar reasons I guess. Feels like it's gotta come down to Sabre vs. Ibushi in the final. I loved that Bracketology show, and what Perkins said about people looking back on this in 10 years and seeing the CWC in the same way they saw the Super J Cup when they were coming up, as this unique, prestigious opportunity.

I bought tickets for the next taping off stubhub and they look a little shady. Are full sail tickets always so plain looking?

The bracketology show was really good. It was great. It gave someone like me a look in to some guys I've never heard of and got me really excited to watch this. Stuff like this show is what I always hoped for when the Network came around.

This is the longest I've ever avoided spoilers for anything in wrestling. That's how excited I am for this.
Though I wished they had spent some time on some of the lesser known guys (Da Mack, Ho Ho Lun, etc) I really loved the Bracketology show. They're really going all out to make this feel like a real sporting event and totally different from anything you see on TV the rest of the week.

After previously representing both Japan and Mexico as Puma Well they didn't want TJ as a masked luchador when they can get real ones from Mexico. Besides, some folks would throw a shit fit if they did try to go that route with him. I'm glad that after spending all those years slumming & riding TNA's dick that he finally about to make an impact.

What I got from the great Bracketology show:
- Peter Gallagher has a great distinctive look (Conan O'Brien meets Aiden English) and came off brillantly during his vignette. Superb verbal skills
- stories of TJ, Kendrick and Swann were very fascinating and interesting
- Ibushi is already presented as the big dog
- Rooting for ZSJ, dude is too talented and oozes charisma

So when and how is this airing?
I don't want to look externally as it seems spoilers are already out, I'm guessing the later rounds or at least the final will be live?

First round matches start airing next week on the Network, straight after NXT. All the first round, second round, quarter finals and semi finals will be taped, while the final will be aired live.

Loved the graphics for the braketology show. Especially when they focused on must one guy like they did ZSJ and they had still action shots leading to the bio. Going to gig them later for our match graphics thread I think.
Hyped. Loved how much they put over ZSJ/Gallagher/Ibushi.
Also damn they showed a lot EVOLVE footage of Ospreay getting his ass handed to him
