Just seen Adam Blampied post on snapchat that he's waiting for an illegal stream to go up online so he can watch Dominion. For a guy who supposedly supports indie wrestling and went on a rant about it as recent as 2 weeks ago, that's pretty hypocritical, huh? Yeah that's a pretty shitty move, and also pretty stupid to go public about it. Especially since NJPW World is super cheap in pounds, even in our awful awful economy right now.

So that means so far the WCPW World Cup field is:
Ospreay ZSJ Joe Coffey Kenny Williams Penta 0M Mysterio Elgin Mike Bailey Bad Bones Lucky Kid KUSHIDA Hiromu Takahashi
With USA and Rest of World yet to go. Solid field this.

Also, why the hell are War Machine tag champs after doing a big build for Prospect to win and not pay that off?

Solid field this. The only concern is Pentagon because of his passport being stolen but besides that, really nice field.

I mean, thinking about the USA qualifier and guys who have done business with WCPW in the past, Lethal's probably a lock and then the second spot is up between Moose, Cody, and Ricochet. I'm hoping for Ricochet myself, but would be fine with any of them.

The Japan World Cup qualifier is streaming right now on What Culture's YouTube page (not the WCPW page). It's been streaming for the past hour and we're on the first of the two finals (two men qualify from each leg).

Ospreay vs. Mysterio should be really fun, depends how much Rey is prepared to do, as we know Will is going all out for this one. Coffey vs. Elgin should be a bruising Big Lads match.

Kushida vs Kenny Williams, whoever loses can no longer use Back to the Future.

Good on them.
Also interestingly, that makes them the second promotion to sign a deal with Twitch to put shows up (if you don't count Progress' recent announcement stream).

They haven't announced airdates yet, but I'd imagine they'd be this weekend since Loaded starts again next week.

Not a single one of those matches look bad at all.

I'll need to keep an eye out for KUSHIDA vs Williams, would be fun to see them tag too.
