I'd love for Toyota to appear, even if it is a one off Liger-eqsue thing

Yeah, all ten of them are signed. The remainder who are signed are the likes of Evie, Nixon Newell and Kairi Hojo, and the remaining half of the field will probably be outsiders.

Is Ivelisse still around? I really enjoyed her. I would love for Awesome Kong to appear

[auph10imitated]

Or Aja Kong?

The website URL is up (though nothing on the site yet) - www.wwe.com/shows/maeyoungclassic

And the Twitter username is MaeYoungClassic, so far no tweets and they're not following anyone yet. We should be getting talent announcements soon then.

First group of competitors are named.

[Bungle]

Nice

Hope they bring some more veteran wrestlers

[auph10imitated]

God why did they rename these girls Sarah Logan and Lacey Evans, such jobber names. Crazy Mary Dobson and Macey Estralla were actually interesting.

[Steveweiser]

Huge deal for both Toni Storm and PROGRESS Wrestling, I know she's going to make a great run in the tourney.

I guess you could say when it comes to getting their name out there in the world, they're making some real progress.

YOU SUCK!

So far, the only name I'm happy about is Toni.

But out of all the CMLL talent... HER? There was a way better choice

Still think Zeuxis is a participant. Sugehit more than likely got in on the recommendation of both Saras since they wrestled her during their stints in Mexico.

[Steveweiser]

Speculation on the lucha blogs is that Sugehit is in due to being friends with Sarah Stock, and if there was only one spot available for a Mexican, Stock wanted to make sure she got someone she knew in.

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that WWE is in discussions with former talent Serena Deeb (USA), most famously known as the lone female member of CM Punk's Straight-Edge Society faction, to come out of retirement for the tournament. Negotiations are ongoing, but if all works out, she will be the notable returning veteran of the tourney.

Agreed!!!

I say the same thing about Daria Berenetto and Geonna Daddio too. Really cool, marketable names!!

Yes, please!

If they play up the history of Serena being Bayley's mentor after she left WWE, that'd be pretty cool.
