July 30, 20187 yr comment_5859060 Just got tickets for both nights. I was there for the second night last year and it was a blast. Super stoked for watching Meiko live.
July 30, 20187 yr comment_5859063 Madison Rayne (going by Ashley Rayne in the tournament), Priscilla Kelly & Xia Brookside added to the tournament.

There was a brief video clip of Karen Q at the Performance Center that surfaced on Twitter a couple of days ago (presumably for an introductory piece they will do on her) and in that Karen was wrestling Madison (in full gear) which pretty much gave it away that she will also be in it. Neither Tegan or Jinny wrestled on the NXT-UK tapings the past two nights which I am guessing was just a precautionary issue to avoid them picking up a knock.
July 30, 20187 yr comment_5859067 Maybe but then again, Killer Kelly worked the 2nd day of NXT UK tapings so it might not mean anything. But given Tegan & Jinny's injury history, I'd go on a limb and say that you might be onto something.
August 1, 20187 yr comment_5859420 3 new entries in the Mae Young Classic: Hiroyo Matsumoto, Aerial Monroe & Vanessa Kraven! Finally, my home province of Quebec will be represented this year! :D https://t.co/MBDSCnfr8l
August 2, 20187 yr comment_5859476 Also appears that Mauro will be the announcer this year, which I approve of. He has his issues of course, but I trust in his ability to get people like Satomura over with a new audience.
August 3, 20187 yr comment_5860065 The final five names have been confirmed for this: Allysin Kay (Sienna from TNA), M.J. Jenkins, Rachael Ellering, Xia Li and Zatara (a masked wrestler from Chile).
August 3, 20187 yr comment_5860068 In terms of talent this is legit the best tournament they've put together and it's not even close.

August 3, 20187 yr comment_5860076 Just now, SirEdger said: Actually, I think there's one spot remaining, unless I miscounted. I think you're right. I was going from the report on the Observer website which said the full line up is set, but when I totted things up myself only got 31 names and not 32: 01) Kaitlyn 02) Rhea Ripley 03) Kacy Catanzaro 04) Io Shirai 05) Nicole Matthews 06) Jinny 07) Deonna Purazzo 08) Tegan Knox 09) Reina Gonzalez 10) Jessica Elaban 11) Taynara Conti 12) Mercedes Martinez 13) Mia Yim 14) Kavita Devi 15) Killer Kelly 16) Zeuxis 17) Isla Dawn 18) Lacey Lane 19) Karen Q 20) Meiko Satomura 21) Madison Rayne 22) Priscilla Kelly 23) Xia Brookside 24) Hiroyo Matsumoto 25) Aerial Monroe 26) Vanessa Kraven 27) Allysin Kay 28) M.J. Jenkins 29) Rachael Ellering 30) Xia Li 31) Zatara
August 3, 20187 yr comment_5860077 Like @KawadaSmile said, this field blows out of the water last year's field. So many potential winners I wouldn't be mad of seeing win the whole thing!
August 3, 20187 yr comment_5860078 I'm not just counting the last MYC, but also the CWC - that this surpasses the UK tournament should go without saying, too.
August 3, 20187 yr comment_5860079 Yeah, well now that you mention it, that's also true. There were a handful of potential winners for the CWC, same for last year's MYC but now, I got no idea how they're gonna book this. Can't wait for the brackets to be released.
August 3, 20187 yr comment_5860082 Was she officially announced yet? So that's the name missing in there.

August 4, 20187 yr comment_5860123 6 hours ago, KawadaSmile said: I'm not just counting the last MYC, but also the CWC - that this surpasses the UK tournament should go without saying, too. It does. The alternate list will be very strong. Poor Britt Baker just missed the cut. Will be the #1 alternate. Alternate wise WWE has to find replacements for three dropouts: Chelsea Green (Visa Issues), Kylie Rae (collarbone injury) and Crystal from Philippines (a mystery). Nicole Savoy, Jordynne Grace, Shazza McKenzie or Madison Eagles are my most notable exclusions. Saying that there are no adject wastes of space like there was last year.
August 4, 20187 yr comment_5860124 I thought it was curious that Chelsea Green wasn't even in the tournament but that explains everything.
August 4, 20187 yr comment_5860129 Saying that. Things were trending for Chelsea being an alternate in the MYC. Paying the cost on who she dates and other politics.
August 4, 20187 yr comment_5860130 That's something I can't quite figure out, to be honest. They're stringing her along just because someone in management hates Zack Ryder?
August 4, 20187 yr comment_5860144 And are people in management STILL mad at Zack Ryder because of an internet show that he stopped doing maybe 6 years ago
August 4, 20187 yr comment_5860149 He's been with the company for 12 years, he's been on TV like, once in 2018. Why bother keeping him around if he's so hated?
August 4, 20187 yr comment_5860156 I read a while back that Vince loves that he's always motivated no matter the frequency they're using him on TV.

Going by shoot interviews and stuff the issue with Zack from the Triple H/William Regal side of the company was that he was a dork who looked like he couldn't win a fight IRL. Chelsea Green never really watched wrestling growing up. Only liked Trish and Kelly Kelly. And applied to Lance Storm's school on a whim in College. So she doesn't have that lifelong fan grounding and understanding of the "biz" and her hot mess character is based on her real-life personality. Her stint with IMPACT didn't end amicably at all. You have to be next level savvy with WWE talent relations these days. Can only assume a fair amount of why she hasn't been signed yet is on her.
