Seeing as Cole got pinned last night by Jay in the Briscoes vs Bennett/Cole Tag match, i'd say Cole has a good chance of winning Ladder War.

 

[Chris]

Elgin/Steen and Strong/Alexander have both been confirmed. Elgin/Steen should be a fun brawl and the winner will receive an IWGP title shot at War of the Worlds. Steen will probably get screwed out of this one by Eddie Kingston or some other tomfoolery which will let Elgin win.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Steen/Elgin should be good. I think Elgin will probably win, since Steen's getting the winner of Ladder War V.

Also, Tommaso Ciampa vs Jay Lethal in a 2 out of 3 falls match for the TV Title has been added.

 

[AZUCAR!]

2 other matches have been added to the card.

Michael Bennett vs Mark Briscoe in a No DQ match, and a triple threat Tag match between Raymond Rowe and Todd Hanson vs reDRagon vs Forever Hooligans, with the winning team getting a shot at The Young Bucks at War of the Worlds.

 

[Chris]

Man it feels like Ciampa has only feuded with Lethal because when I quit watching a couple years ago he had just gotten injured in a match with Lethal and they had been feuding for month already.

 

[Gimmick]

Looking forward to the show. Would really like for it to be released before WrestleMania on Sunday.

I don't think either Steen or Elgin would be perfect opponents for Okada (I'd rather see the likes of Hero, Styles or O'Reilly wrestle him over those two shows), but if I had to pick one I'd rather see Elgin face him. I think that'd be a better match than Steen/Okada.

I'd also very much like to see another Bucks/reDRagon match at War of the Worlds. Have a feeling it'll be Forever Hooligans though, unfortunately.

I see Cole/Briscoe being the MOTN. Has the makings of a very good match.

 

[Chris]

Card is shaped up nicely to me.

Evans/Young and Taven vs Truth's mystery guy have both been confirmed.

 

[AZUCAR!]

If Adam Cole doesn't win Ladder War i'll be pissed.
