WWE: Global Cruiserweight Series coming to Network on July 13

[bruins309]

I think the interesting bit is that Almas/La Sombra isn't taking part.

It's ridiculous to the point where I have to admit I've pretty much lost interest in this entire deal. Once again, WWE announces loud and clear: We don't know how to deal with cruiserweights, and I'm sure they'll screw this guy up royally.

Tajiri? Are they forming a Seniors Cruiserweight Division?

 

[Morozov]

I think it's cool that Tajiri is in it. Gives the tournament a recognisable name for a lot of people, and it's not like the competition is full of old guys. Don't see what the issue is at all, I know I'll be interested in watching him.

There have been wrestlers Tajiri's age in the G1 Climax tournaments. Is that an issue? What's wrong with having a little name power in the tournament? I'm excited to see Tajiri and Brian Kendrick wrestle.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I'm cool with Tajiri and THE Brian Kendrick being in it.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Should let Kendrick win as a 'Thank you, we know you really, really, really, really tried' for the work he put in with Eva.

I'm not even sure he trained her for anything more than a spot on Total Divas to show the "work she was putting in."

Just found out that the Bollywood Boyz who worked out at my old gym I used to go to are going to this event. Used to talk to them all the time, great they are given a shot.

 

[Natey]

TJ Perkins is ****ing awesome.

 

[Loosie]

I love this

 

[nameless1]

Other than Ibushi and Sabre jr...
Gran Metalik is another name I am excited about.
He wrestled as Máscara Dorada in Mexico...
And I really liked his matches against Volador jr.
The guy has a really vast moveset...
And he is pretty consistent with his spots.
I doubt he will win it...
But I expect him to make it pretty far.

It is also nice to see other upstarts like Cedric Alexander and T.J. Perkins...
Along with familiar veterans in Tajiri and Brian Kendricks...
In the same tournament.

Apparently...
The taping had already began...
And the result for the first round is already leaked.

It's all taped except for the final which will air live on the WWE Network.

Ahh okay.
I had hoped that it would be live...
But it is probably cheaper this way.

 

[Kimi]

There's no chance that it would ever be live, the costs would be insanely higher to do that. And that's ignoring the obvious logistical impossibilities.

The taping dates are:

23rd June
14th July
26th August
14th September - Live

They taped all of the first round on the first date, so those are the results that have been reported so far.

 

[Kimi]

A note on the guy who ended up not being on the show, Zumbi from Brazil. He didn't miss weight or anything, it was apparently a visa issue and couldn't work in the US. That's why he was working the show in Mexico instead.

 

[Kimi]

We've got a bracket now from the show last night, so we can try and work out exactly who Sabre Jr. is going to beat on the way to winning the trophy!

(I'll post the matches for next round in the spoiler thread)

 

[AfroThunder396]

It's gotta be ZSJ vs. Ibushi in the finals, right? There's no way it isn't.

 

[Kimi]

Yeah, I'm like 99% sure we'll see them in the final.

 

[The Gongshow]

Who picked the winner Vince? or literally anyone else?

 

[Disclose]

avoiding every spoiler so far. it should be fun.
i dont know many of them.

 

[Kimi]

Who picked the winner Vince? or literally anyone else?

Well, it's hard to pick a big tall guy for this tournament . But it's a HHH/NXT project, so Vince will be hands off (even if Vince does meddle a little with NXT when he's planning on calling people up).

 

[Kimi]

A quick note on spoilers, they're taping the second round tomorrow night (NXT is taping tonight) so take care if you look things up.

 

[S A W F T*]

Thanks for the bump... I would have totally forgotten this was tonight otherwise.
