The 2006 BOLA is one of my favorite cards in recent years and I honestly think this will top it.

Masato Yoshino automatically raises any match he's in to no less than 3 stars.

It does look pretty fucking awesome. When Austin Aries vs. Nigel McGuinness is one of your first round matches, you can expect a good tournament.

Also worth pointing out is that El Generico and Masato Yoshino will be opponents in the first round, albeit with Nick Jackson in there. Not saying Jackson is bad, but he's a fairly green talent, apparently (with a world of potential), that seems to be more of a tag team guy at this stage of his career. My bet is that Jackson is just there to get pinned by Yoshino.

I was hoping I didn't need to leave a reminder for you to correct yourself, Destor.

Who is everyone picking as a winner for this thing? Not that it will make the process of getting to the winner any less awesome.
Right now, I'm actually seeing a Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Hero final, for whatever reason. I can see Hero taking the entire thing. |

Is Low Ki on good terms with PWG? I thought there may have been some trouble with him recently. I did scan over him as a guy with a really good shot at winning, though -- especially seeing as he isn't likely to go to TNA, ROH or the WWE anytime soon.
I'm thinking that Kenny Omega wins his first round match, and then moves into the second round to have a really impressive showing with one of the "superstars" of independent wrestling. For example: Omega ends Bonham's winning streak, and then hangs with Bryan Danielson for a while before he's beaten. Apparently Omega has a lot of talent, so hopefully this allows him to show it. |

From what I understand Low-Ki is working for them a lot lately and I know he isn't working the west coast right now.
And yeah, Omega has a lot of positive hype around him right now. |

That hype could make him a darkhorse pick to make it surprisingly far in the tournament. Or not.

Oh and we know as well that Super Dragon return attempt#4435 will happen at this year's bola. And yes, we will get a concussion during it and put himself on the shelf again.

And one last thing, PWG booking is horrible whenever other promotion's champions are involved.
Omega beats Bonham McGuiness beats Aries Low Ki beats Roderick Strong Nick Jackson will be eliminated followed by Yokosuka TJ Perkins will job, well because he's TJ Perkins Danielson beats Richards Chris Hero beats Necro Butcher because Necro Butcher is a jobber Joey Ryan beats Lost, easy call there. |

Quote:
Kenny Omega, Austin Aries, Low Ki, Masato Yoshino, Chuck Taylor, Bryan Danielson, Chris Hero and Joey Ryan for the second round. From that, I think Aries goes over Omega, who does get a good showing. I want to go with Masato Yoshino for Block B winner, even if it goes against Destor's pick of Low Ki as winner of the whole thing. I'm going to regret that one, I can feel it. Bryan Danielson beats Chuck Taylor in a match that shows off Taylor's skills (Desty, pretend there are quotation marks around "skills" if it makes you feel better), and Chris Hero beats Joey Ryan. Block A versus Block B sees Austin Aries go over Masato Yoshino, and Block C vs. Block D sees Bryan Danielson narrowly defeat Chris Hero. I'm calling an A vs. C final, with Bryan Danielson going over. Wasn't he just PWG World Champion recently? I think they like him, especially with his stock growing oversees. For some reason, though, the idea of a Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson final keeps crawling into my head. Last edited by Mr. Nerfect; 10-24-2008 at 09:59 PM. |

Probably (most reports say the Chuck Taylor match was pretty crappy though, but I'd be more inclined to blame TJ for the bad match from what i've heard...)
