This can be an awesome thing for an end of year tournament tradition. Have one block have their matches on Dynamite, the other Collison. Give it a 15 or 20 min time-limit on TV for each so that you have less than a half the show (since I doubt all matches will go max time-limit). Then you can hopefully have time for the other storylines. Then the tournament itself can be an accolade all on its own, or lead to a title match at Revolution or something. As for who to win, frankly there's not one which comes to mind as a "must" of the reasonable winners (Top stars or people who are capable of making that leap).

Just please don't be as injury cursed as Stardom's Five Star GP was.

Yeah he should definitely roll out the entrants on social media before the first matches to build hype IMO

They said they’re condensing Championships in this tournament, right? So I guess that means Kingston and Cassidy are already locks

OC has nothing to do with the Triple Crown - It's just Kingston, he holds an ROH and a NJPW title. (OC could still be in it regardless though, I won't rule it out)

Takeshita tweeted earlier in the week saying he wanted to be in it, so I think we will get out wish there

Penta I could see for sure.

Starks I'm unsure on, but I'd like it!

Oh I thought the International title was a part of it too. My bad
