YOUR Final 4 in the Cruiserweight Classic are... (SPOILERS)

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

(Putting this in the quote tags so it doesn't reveal it when hovering over the thread)

Gran Metalik versus Zack Sabre Jr
TJ Perkins versus Kota Ibushi

And here were the results from the tapings (Source)...

Time limits have been upped to 30 minutes for this stage of the tournament

*CWC Quarter Final: Zack Sabre Jr def. Noam Dar by submission. Plenty of vicious grappling with many near falls. Got a standing ovation from the Full Sail crowd
*CWC Quarter Final: Gran Metalik def. Akira Tozawa with the Dorado Screwdriver. Lots of high flying and dives to the outside
*Cedric Alexander def. NXT's Oney Lorcan with the Lumbar Check
*Drew Gulak and Tony Nese def. Lince Dorado and Kenneth Johnson with a Nese 450 Splash on Johnson. Nese powerbombed Johnson over the top rope to the outside onto Gulak and Dorado at one point
*CWC Quarter Final: TJ Perkins def. Rich Swann with the grapevined ankle lock in what was described as an amazing match. Big heel reaction for Perkins having beaten the fan favourite Swann
*The Bollywood Boyz def. Ariya Daivari and Sean Maluta
*CWC Quarter Final: Kota Ibushi def. Brian Kendrick with the sit-down last ride powerbomb. Kendrick had won the match by countout after a neckbreaker over the metal bracket between the ringpost and the turnbuckle pads, but the match was restarted by William Regal (not sure if that will air, since they re-did a countout spot with Ibushi beating the count). Kendrick tried every dirty trick he had to put Ibushi down. Many near falls and escapes from both men's offense until Ibushi finally won it. Post-match, Kendrick and Ibushi embrace. After Ibushi leaves, Kendrick gets a massive ovation and "PLEASE DON'T GO" chants from the crowd and is embraced by Daniel Bryan

And we are that much closer to ZSJ vs Ibushi, the match everyone has wanted to see since Round 1

Noam Dar and ZSJ getting a standing ovation? Sounds like some FAN members are gonna eat shit when this is done  

Perkins would be a great heel for the Cruiserweight Division, he comes off like such an arrogant douche it's easy, and if you remember his TNA Run Tweets, even easier!   

And good news for Full Sail, Kendrick isn't going anywhere

I hope the other matches are aired as well, I want to see more of these guys I hope seeing more of them means they're gonna be signed in some capacity

Really hope Gallagher is signed though, sad to see he isn't in any of these matches... we NEED more Gallagher...

[lionheart21]

Those sound like some amazing matches.

Also, a neckbreaker onto the metal bracket of the turnbuckles? F***ing OW!!!!

[Mister Pigwell]

Ooooo these sound good.

[Sparvid]

But will Ibushi finally agree to a WWE contract so that he'll have a chance of winning?

[MrBRulzOK]

Lince Dorado and Kenneth Johnson is the most random and most amazing team.

[Raskovnik]

I'm really glad to see TJP make it this far. This dude is MONEY and has been more impressive in this tournament than he has anywhere else. He needs to be on Raw ASAP, preferable as the heel inaugural champ.

[Deleted]

It all depends on who signs a contract with the company really so yeah ZSJ and Ibushi won't be winning. TJ Perkins is probably my go to guy. Him against Neville is money.

[Big Bad Kahuna]

Don't care who wins ("well I told you so Ibushi wins!!!", "heh as predicted ZSJ wins!!" "nanannananananananna!!!"), do care about good wrestling, and it should be mighty fine

[Final Countdown Jones]

Especially if they aren't signing then I don't think Ibushi or ZSJ should get this, but I think with TJ Perkins having beaten out both Gargano and Swann, the indication they're going with him seems strong, since they're two of the guys who went into this already signed to contracts. Especially with the match having taken place "days after" the Brooklyn tag title match and even throwing in the worked knee injury in the aftermath of a match that hadn't happened yet. It all feels like they wanted him to go over Gargano when it was an even bigger deal and he'd just gotten off of a big show match. Just seems like he's the one getting prepped for it the most.

[Nic Nemeth]

Totally expected it to be Zack vs Akira and Swann vs Ibushi but I like these results.

The finals need to be Zack vs Perkins with Perkins going over.

[ronin705]

Ibushi's winning this regardless of if he signs or not. He's just the most believeable, plus HHH is clearly more interested in fostering the relationship with New Japan than anything. Would love to see Cedric vs Swann though at some point; that'd be magic

[Bungle]

Go Metalik!

[FAR5222]

Bullshit, Perkins over Swann. Perkins round one match was better. His match with Gargano was good but not as good as Perkins' and Gargano's first round matches respectively.

Ibushi left New Japan. Though there's murmurs he might go back for a match with Kenny Omega.

Given TJP has been announced for the RAW division and the other three haven't, I think he wins. He'll get the Jericho-like distinction of beating Ibushi and ZSJ in one night, then hopefully WWE sees sense and hires Stokely Hathaway to be his manager on RAW.

WWE doesn't have the foresight to give TJP that kind of rub, and Ibushi is definitely more established in dis BIZNESS lol

[Ken: The Hero of WWE]

If I had to guess, I'm thinking an Metalik/Ibushi finals with Metalik winning the whole thing.

[The Kevstaaa]

My seemingly far-fetched dream of Perkins winning is one step closer to coming true.

[543Y2J]

[Duke Cameron]

I'd really like to see Gran Metalik win the whole thing but I don't think that's going to happen.
