sabre jr said in an interview the guys in the performance centre and trips etc haven't told them to tone anything down and are receptive to there ideas for how things will go down. also teased potentially facing ibushi for the first time and they have been booked a few times but for different reasons the match hasn't happened

I love the different styles on display in the CWC. They're not trying to WWEify anyone (yet) and are really treating this as a showcase, as they should.

Couldn't believe it when I realised how "old" he was. He's 31 but looks like a teenager.

Spoiler: Semi-final matchups from results at today's taping

Zack Sabre Jnr vs Gran Metallik
TJ Perkins vs Kota Ibushi

 

[JP Sauce]

No way am I clicking on that. This tournament has been too good.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Kota Ibushi vs Cedric Alexander...
Wow! An absolute star maker!

Cedric signed surely.

I've caught up on most of the CWC over the last week or so and that match was awesome. Great with Triple H coming out at the end as well.

thoughts on semi final matches

Spoiler

will be mettalik vs ibushi final for sure

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

cedrick alexander has signed with wwe so expect him on raw

 

[JP Sauce]

Holy s**t what a show. Maybe my favourite hour of wrestling all year. 2 great but very different matches.

Metalik's dive over the top rope is a thing of beauty. It doesn't even look real, it's so smooth. Both guys were excellent.

Ibushi is a mega star, but THE Brian Kendrick has been the highlight of the tournament for me so far. Amazing story of redemption and desperation which came across perfectly in his matches. And that ending with Bryan on tears on commentary, then the post-match segment!

Surely Kendrick gets a contract out of this. Would love to see him as part of the Cruiserweight division on RAW, or even on Smackdown as a guy Bryan personally brings in given their history together.

 

[JP Sauce]

Also... a ******* burning hammer in the WWE!!!

 

[JP Sauce]

Amazing. This is the kind of s**t that makes wrestling so good:



Edit: Now I want to see Kendrick fight the Miz to defend Bryan's honour.

 

[Igloo]

That Burning Hammer was brutal.

Bonus match from the CWC tapings:

I missed the opener but TJP vs Ibushi & the tag match were amazing.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

The new Cruiserweight Championship belt looks pretty sick, but tbh, they've overdosed on coloured belts.

 

[TradeDraft]

So with Ibushi and Saban.Jr NOT winning,

They are not staying on with WWE?

Nope. Ibushi is heading back to Japan as a freelancer and Sabre has s**t to do. I think Sabre might be a chance in the next couple of years though.

Okay. That explains why Neither made the Finals.

Was Ibushi offered a Deal and Rejected or no Interest in joining WWE?

Sabre to WCPW

I was hoping for Sabre vs Ibushi for 3rd place.
