Based off that, I'm predicting a Gargano/Ciampa vs. Team Aries final. Authors of Pain vs. Revival would be too weird, and I don't see them giving the Authors' first loss to Swann & Jose.

I have a feeling (the feeling is hope) that TM61 will be in the final vs GarCiamp.

That'd definitely make them in NXT at least since they'd probably have to go over Team Aries and Itami/Ibushi to get there. Team Aries vs. Itami/Ibushi is the semi final I'm most confident about happening though.

It would be a neat success story after all of those years being squandered before in developmental and the indies.

was he really squandered? he was nothing before the 10 thing got over and i think even part of that was him being a jobber for so long.

Do you really think he could have gotten over with the "Gavin Spears" gimmick? If the writing had backed him up, he would have been more. That's what I mean by "squandered". He's being squandered like anyone the writers don't care enough about to write stories for.

looking forward to possibly seeing the Authors of Pain get hosed up by the Revival. two big monsters getting clowned by the smallest dumpiest tag team would own but I'm guessing GarCiamp will get the pleasure instead.

kind of a shame that Sanity is going against Glorious 10 and will be hosed up fairly early.

Ah, I assumed they were leaked since I thought someone said they were up earlier then taken down. My stance on Sanity remains.

Glorious Perfection is a face / heel team so they're going to split up at the slightest pressure (probably Tye taking the pin when Roode doesn't help him). But it's hard to imagine Sanity being put over Itami / Nakamura, especially when there are already four tag teams getting pushed.

That's assuming that Sanity is going to debut without doing some shenanigans, like loving around with other wrestlers and getting themselves DQed on purpose. There's no way to tell until it happens.

Nakamura, Ibushi, they've been dropped on their heads enough I'm not sure they'd be able to tell each other part. Hell, they should bring in AR Fox to make a trio

i think he's just a guy who wasn't very good until he struck gold with the perfect gimmick. i don't see that as being squandered, more like lucky.

Well 6 of the 16 teams are established tag teams, who will all probably end up winning their match and ending up being 6 of the 8 2nd round teams.

Lets all remember last year's brackets.

Of the 16 teams, we had 9 established teams and 7 random pairings.

Of all the teamed that advanced to round 2... 6 were established, 2 were random pairings.

The two random pairings are the ones who ended up going to the finals and winning the whole thing.

And yeah, a bunch of those matches were not even televised so it doesn't even matter.



Looking at the bracket... the first round feels really predictable. Off the top of my head, I would go with almost every single pairing that's listed on top. I can see Dillinger and Roode losing to start a singles feud with each other, and it makes sense to push Sanity if they are indeed making their debut. And we need at least one team to implode and end their match by brawling with each other.

Yeah I was trying to make predictions and felt really weird picking the top team in every matchup.

Tournament also looks like another quick way to give DIY a win over The Revival without the titles on the line.

What was the final last year? For the life of me I can't remember who Joe and Balor beat now, only being disappointed at the quarter final losses. Was it Rhino and someone?

Rhyno and Corbin. It's easy to remember the Dusty as the AA and Revival coming out party, but it also gave us DIY and Baron Corbin finally coming into his own with the help of Rhyno. So much accomplished with one tournament.

Rollins did some vaguely sensual wrestling. Based on the quick googling I just did, AR Fox straight up hosed on camera. I can't see WWE being down employing someone with a past in hardcore porn, especially after Val Venis didn't live up to potential.
