Rich Swann was fun, fucking standing 450 are you kidding me? Then dancing while selling injuries while he had his hand raised.
Found a lot of guys to like in round 2 even with a couple of disappointments. |

Noam has something about him, but he's green as shit. Would have preferred one of the Bollywood boys

Jack Gallagher lives the gimmick, I love it. This is going to be a fun match I think.

Gallagher was awesome, just fantastic.
Was the right decision to have him go over someone big to put him over, but Eisner was really good. Another unfortunate first round where I wanted both guys to advance. If they sign the best ones from this tournament, Raws cruiser-weight division will be insane. |

Holy fuck, what a main event. I liked both those guys from NXT anyway, but I didn't realise they were that good. Thought they were just using them as the main event as they were the most known to the audience, but man, that was fantastic.

Yeah, of evetyone so far, gentleman jack impressed me the most.
It's not just what he does that's awesome, but the smoothness of his execution. I don't know if I've ever seen anyone move with such fluidity before. |

Yeah I am a fan already. Lots of great talent as others mentioned, many would do well in NXT at the very least.

Just caught up on the most recent episode, and I am completely blown away. Rich Swann is awesome, that second match I could barely pay attention to...but Jack Gallagher is absolutely fantastic, and I was marking out pretty much the entire time during Gargano/Ciampa. Holy shit. I've been a Ciampa fan since I saw him in ROH, but he's next level type shit with me now. One of my favorites overall. I'm DEFINITELY a Gargano fan now since I've seen him be able to get some shit in. That should have been the final. I can't see anything topping it.

Damn, trying to watch NXT now, and I still haven't come down off the Ciampa/Gargano buzz. That shit was intense.

Caught up with a few weeks here.... agree that Gargano/Ciampa was awesome, loved the commentary during it putting them over so much.
Liked Jack Gallagher a lot. Disliked Zack Sabre Jr a lot. |

Just started to watch this with the last matches of the first round. Gargano/Ciampa was insane, no idea how the match didn't end with that powerbomb/back stabber spot.
Gentleman Jack was great to watch, really different from everyone else on offer. It's what the Vaudevillian's gimmick should be more like. |

Just caught up, had the last two episodes to watch. Zach Sabre Jr. Didn't impress me all that much but it could've just been the guy he was working with. The Bollywood Boys being in the tournament gives me hope that they'll do the Dusty Rhodes Classic just like this. Thought Noam Dar over sold a lot and was a little sloppy but the right choice to win. I liked Jason Lee a lot better than I did Ho Ho Lun so I wish they would have swapped places in the tournament. Jack Gallagher match was good but I wanted the other dude to win and thought he had it after that power bomb. Ciampa vs Gargano was stiff as hell and I loved it. Wasn't a fan of the finish though. Really wanted Ciampa to win and also thought he had it after the powerbomb/backbreaker move he pulled off. Second round looks great, I love this tournament.

It's still another 6 weeks to the final. It's not taped yet, so it could potentially be on Raw at least to introduce the cruiserweights.

Would seem silly to do a tournament show and not have the finals of the tournament be on that show.

Yeah, plus the set up they have looks better than Raw or Smackdown. I love everything about this tournament. The ring, the commentary, the talent, it's just got a special feel to it and I feel like the finals being on Raw or SS would take that away.

Will be interesting to see what they do from the semi finals onwards. They'll either need some filler matches, or are they planning to do the semis and final in one night?

Instant reaction: Ibushi / Alexander is everything I've heard rumored and replaces Zayn / Nakamura as my match of the year.
Crowd chanting "please sign Cedric!" afterward and Triple H coming out to clap him on the back, give a "Yeah, sure, alright," .shrug, and retrieve him is also probably one of the coolest moments of the year. Very impressive for a dude I've never really paid any attention to or had any investment in before this tournament |

Was a pretty good match. I wouldn't put it above Zayn/Nakamura, or even Ciampa/Gargano from last week, but was good....
Feel I was more "impressed" by Cedric than by Ibushi..... That was indeed a cool moment they chose to leave in with Triple H..... |

Jesus Christ the height Cedric got on that springboard clothesline. Feel like CWC is going to provide all the MOTY candidates from WWE.

That brainbuster, kick out and instant "FUCK YOU" kick from Cedric, kick out and the look of shock sequence was outstanding.

What a goddamn fucking match. If he wasn't already on the list for the cruiserweight division, I think Cedric just earned a contract in that match alone.
Obviously Ibushi has one if he wants it. |
