Perhaps they want some breathing room with the CWC still going on? That and hope they can get the Bucks when their contracts run out in December?

You are probably right. The finals might at the Australian NXT Takeover with TM61 being finalists.

Sanity is still only like the 8th or 9th-dumbest gimmick Eric Young has had in his career.

It's a shame he always gets those dumb poo poo gimmicks too because he's always been really solid in the ring when he can just be a wrestler

Reminds me of what Bryan and Vinny always said when TNA had a house show in their area. They absolutely hated Eric Young on TV, but only had the highest praise for his house show work, and plenty of house show reporters said the same throughout the years.

But no, you can't have him as a good, technical wrestler on TV, he's better off being Bobby Roode's little bitch who will wrestle a Bra&Panties match in his Spongebob underwear.

Or become Super Eric.

Or have brain damage, leading to be Orlando Jones's confused not-really-sex-partner.

Or suddenly become super-serious as the leader of World Elite.

Or become a cheap "Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 30" parody.

Or be ODB's lover.

Or become a weird hobo searching for Elvis.

I probably forgot a couple of things, but drat did TNA make him do a lot of stupid poo poo.

Guessing they're waiting until they get Cody back before they do the Dusty Classic again, or something, just so he doesn't raise up a fuss or anything. Which would be silly, but it's the kind of thing I'd expect.

I'm a little skeptical of the shoot nature of this but people are saying that Ibushi just got eliminated from the CWC because he forgot WWE uses a 10 count ring out. I wouldn't put it past them to do a "Mil Mascaras in the Royal Rumble" type spot if he wanted to be protected in losing in some way.

Regal restarted the match because TBK is doing his exposed turnbuckle thing so that's fortunate even if it's kinda flimsy

Because it makes things more interesting when the only talent that can win are not the ones under contract?

TJ's signing surely, he was in that promo for the cruisers on Monday.

IIRC it was reported Ibushi signed, he denied it but then I think someone else reported they were still negotiating/nothing official either way, but what we do know is he's the likely winner of the CWC and continues to be featured, including being in Nakamura's locker room at TakeOver which IMO points to him signing? Is that about right?

If the only person signed to a deal before the tournament started won the tournament, that'd be predictable, lack suspense, and deserve the criticism it would receive

If someone was really going to criticise this bracket for predictability and lack of suspense that's their perogative but Rich Swann going the distance isn't something anybody predicted going into this so I don't know if I'd start there

If there wasn't a giant "THIS GUY IS WINNING" sign on ibushi from the beginning I might agree but it's been predictable since the beginning. Honestly these last 2 TJP wins have been the most unpredictable part of the tournament, and boy oh boy what a thrill
