If this doesn't work, let me know. I have a history of breaking these things.
Entries accepted until sometime on March 8 with the first matches starting on March 9. Winner gets a high-five. And maybe Canadian treats in the mail if there's something you're really into.

Reposted on: 26.2.25 1138.15 | Thanks for making the tournament. My knowledge of NJPW is limited so this is a complete guess, unlike the MYC where I thought Kairi and Baszler were obvious finalist contenders.
Naito and Sabre in the first round with the winner getting Ibushi? Geez. Looking forward to that. | InVerse

Reposted on: 26.2.25 1317.53 | | I, too, made my entry based on almost no information beyond having watched the last two Wrestle Kingdoms, a couple of dozen YouTube videos and the occasional Dave Meltzer tweet. I wasn't even aware of the existence of this tournament prior to this post. So if I get more than 50% of the first round right, I'll be amazed. | KJames199

I imagine Barreta was supposed to be in this before his injury and Chuck got his spot. Chuck vs. Yano could happen in round two and it would be glorious.
Odd that Ibushi's in and not Omega. | KJames199

My knowledge here isn't great but I am trying to keep up to date with things on various sites. I'm just still shocked that I watched Marty Scurll in a school hall over here in the UK about 18 months ago which made me pay attention to NJPW when I heard he was a big part of it. | Whitebacon

I was thinking about buying Fire Pro Wrestling World this weekend. I'd simulate the tournament in that but it looks like 3 of the wrestlers are missing from the roster. | KJames199

The official NJPW guys aren't out yet, but you can download literally any wrestler you've ever thought of. Highly recommended. | KJames199
