It should be noted that Tyler Bate is paired with Trent Seven as a tag team. I've updated the ballot; all votes for Tyler Bate that are not modified will be treated as a vote for these two.

Also, I shouldn't have included Tomohiro Ishii in this, so the top four from this vote in will be in the tournament.

Jun Kasai - 11
Saki Akai - 11
Takumi Iroha - 8
Tyler Bate & Trent Seven - 3
Bea Preistley - 0
The Fiend - 0

Kasai, Akai, Iroha, and Bate & Seven are in the tournament.

If you're interested in helping write some profiles for this, please let me know. I could especially use help with joshi (I know a little Stardom but it's not my strongest point yet), non-NJPW puro (I've followed some of the biggest matches but not as much as last year), and WWE/NXT (I can surmise what's happened via listening to Dave & Bryan, but if you've got perspectives, I'm happy to include them).

I can help you with some of the profiles for joshi and puro. If you DM me the names you want help with and an example of what you're going for I'll tell you who I can write about.

I neglected to include Thunder Rosa previously, so I'm adding her and removing Bushi.

I'll be making a new thread for the tournament once I finish write-ups.

Here are the top 64 seeds for the tournament. The first 32 are directly from the J-Ru survey thread. The next 32 are my picks for the most important wrestlers beyond that list; I randomized the seeding for the 32 in that group, so 33-64 has no meaningful order beyond serving for placing them in the tournament. Remember that angry grandfather Tomohiro Ishii will not be appearing in this tournament, as he won the 2019 version.

I've been really busy with work the past month, but I'm getting to the point where I can do the write ups. I'm hoping I can get them done this week.

Also, if anyone can link me to a cool match Eruption did, that'd be appreciated.
