BOLA 2016

Some other interesting facts-the tournament's most experienced wrestler, Liger, has 31 YEARS more experience than the least experienced (Riddle, who debuted just last February and probably only has about 60-70 matches total at this point!) The 24 wrestlers have a combined 268 years of experience, so slightly over 11 a piece, on average. And, if this line-up holds, there are 55 combined tournament appearances between the lot. I also found it interesting that the 4 guys in the tournament who have won it before have won the previous 4 tournaments. I wonder if there's any chance for any of them to become the first to win BOLA more than once. And out of the 24, 10 are returning from last year's tournament (Hero, Lee, Scurll, Pentagon Jr., Sabre Jr., Ricochet, Fenix, Sydal, Ospreay, Andrews, and End.) Also, Callihan, Cole, and O'Reilly are making return appearances to the tournament after missing some (Callihan's first since 2013, Cole first since 2014, and O'Reilly's first since 2014.)

Yeah, I've seen people complaining on other forums that the BOLA line-up is just a U.S. PROGRESS show. I don't see how that's a thing to complain about, but it's wrestling fans on the internet-they hate everything. :roll:

That is such a stupid argument, first of all Progress is one the hottest things in indy wrestling, why not use the talent? And it will spike sales in Europe I'm sure, making PWG more money. Let's face it, the Euro talent has made a giant impact on PWG. Secondly, New Japan, LU, and WWE are well represented, along with the American indys.

People just like to bitch I guess, haha. Honestly if these people can't find something about these lineup to be excited about I question what they enjoy about wrestling.

Why would people complain about that? PROGRESS is one of the best things going in pro wrestling today!

If WWE hasn't signed this guy in the next year or so, I'd be very surprised. He seems to have the lot.

Really looking forward to seeing how he does at BOLA.

Never seen him wrestle before, but after watching that video, I'm pretty damn excited to see him in BOLA.

I think being in EVOLVE definitely increases the chances of him getting signed, though, due to the WWNXT partnership.

I guarantee you, Riddle's going to be over in minutes. GREAT personality. Interesting fact-the past two BOLA winners were announced 23rd. And look who's 23rd this year... :shock:

I'm trying to think who comes to mind when it comes to this years 2016 BOLA winner, to me the pick is Zack Sabre Jr repeating and going back to back to win it all. Last year Strong wasn't in the field of 24 so he didnt have to defend the title the year before O'Reilly got taken out of the tournament by Roderick Strong and couldn't go the rest of BOLA leading to Strong vs Ricochet vs Gargano in the final. If Zack ends up winning the CWC then chances are maybe he drops the title at BOLA but then again what the hell do I know. If not Sabre then my next pick would be Trevor Lee.

This is the first year since Cole won that there isn't an obvious favorite. Marty is my pick.

By the way, I am hoping Pentagon vs End happens. That and Riddle vs O'Reilly, and Haskins vs O'Reilly are the matches I most qant to see.

Was thinking the same thing when O'Reilly won it he was the clear favorite with a solid win streak coming into BOLA , when Ricochet won it also was a solid favorite and with Sabre last year winning it all it didn't surprise most PWG faithful. Marty is a solid pick how did I forget about him and out of the 24 BOLA entrints has one of the best streak coming into BOLA.

Wouldn't that be great. LAX Hilton was a nice spot Kurt Russellreunion when they had it years back , as long as the venue has a bar and it's bigger then the Legion Hall it's a win for BOLA only.

I agree. I was skeptical when I first saw him,but I have seen him live about 10 times now and he is so natural it is scary. I think he excels at being a cocky heel. I'm looking forward to this Sunday's Evolve and Beyond Wrestling double header, Riddle/Scurll and Riddle/Ciampa.

If I can get tickets I will be coming from NH for BOLA. I went to All Star Weekend 11 and had a blast. Met some great people and got to be part of one the best live wrestling shows that I have ever experienced. That building, the fans and the wrestlers were amazing!(but you guys already know that)
