Only Gallagher, Aichner, Ciampa and Gargano to come.
In fact, with Gallagher v Aichner next, the NXT regulars Ciampa and Gargano will be fighting each other to close out the opening round.

Gargano and Ciampa drawing themselves in the first round makes for an intriguing decision as they both should be angled as favorites seeing as though they've spent some time in NXT.

Ibushi is a star, and you're all going to be very lucky if they just pair him up with Nakamura and let them kill each other for months on end. I could probably watch those guys wrestle one another for six months straight and be perfectly happy.
Interesting to note that the quarters/semis/finals of Super J Cup are scheduled for late August, but the preliminary round is scheduled for July 20; wonder how much that's playing off WWE's schedule here.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY? I get that he's a brawler and not much else, but why kill off Tomasso in Round 1? I don't want him turning Dick Heel on NXT  |

Tajiri did come out to his old WWF theme.
This whole taping was incredible. Especially the Kendrick/Mendoza, Lince/Ali, Mack/TJP and Gargano/Ciampa matches. The crowd was pretty pissed by the end that Mendoza didn't win. He and Ali were the most impressive of the unknown guys in the tourney. Gallagher was really over too. Seeing Sabre just utterly dominate Tyson Dux was awesome. The only bad matches were the HoHo Lun, Nese and Tozawa matches and even they weren't that bad.

Just realized, this isn't even the first tournament that Lince Dorado & Mustafa Ali have faced each other in. They previously faced each other in the 1st round of the CHIKARA Young Lions Cup VII Tournament in 2009, Lince also won that.

While it's a shame that just about all the comparatively unknown talents have been eliminated already, they'll probably still be needed for later tapings since they won't be able to fill tapings with just tournament matches. They've already done half of them here. That's where you'll see guys who did great tonight like Mendoza, Ali and Mack get another chance to show their stuff in exhibition matches, I'd hope. |

My guess is that we will probably see some multi man matches with some of the first round eliminations to diversify the action for the later shows. |

If we assume each group of four from those tapings represents a block of the bracket, Tozawa/Sabre or Dorada/Ibushi look like the two logical options for the finals to me. Probably the latter if they're signing one or both of those guys.

Just saw that Zumbi was subbed out. Huge bummer. He looked cool and I've never seen a Brazilian wrestler before so that could've been cool too

Dux/Gulak needs to happen, even if it's outside the tournament. I just know that it'd be brilliant.

If I was doing this tournament I'd have a secondary one for all the eliminated entrants for a wild card spot
