in a dream world, that is a good list.

But I think if the WWE does this again, it will be like it was this year. 16 good guys, and 16 squash guys for the good guys to beat in the first round.

Yes. Need some jobbers.
Also need a few returnees.

[Christian Small]

For me personally guys like Mark Haskins & Marty Scrull deserve a shot, so does Tommy End. I also agree that you need those guys who are pretty much coming in to lose so that those who fans aren't too familiar with those guys who are going to win get a match to showcase what they can do before getting into the real tournament.

[thebenjamin]

It's a list of good wrestlers, but one of the things I've really enjoyed about CWC is seeing some of the complete unknowns. Would way rather have a few of those types of guys rather than a tournament full of people who everyone is familiar with and has seen

[RKing85]

does Petey Williams even still wrestle???

And also, just realized there are no Dragon Gate guys on your list. Fail.

[Blaine Van Der Griend]

Don't Davey Richards, Trent Baretta and Andrew Everett still wrestle for Dragon Gate?

Baretta is a New Japan guy, been working there for a couple of years now. I don't think Davey has worked for Dragon Gate since 09, his last batch of Japan work was for New Japan and I'm pretty sure Everett hasn't done a tour in Japan yet.

Rather they do a heavyweight tournament, or a tag tournament, or a women's tournament.

Hell do one every six months around subscription re-up time, use half of free agent indy guys with some buzz and sprinkle the rest of the bracket with NXT guys and even main roster members who wouldn't mind working in these.
