[Cena Is A Punk Rocker]

My two favorites going head to head. Tully vs Jericho. What a first round match.

I'm sorry, Okada has been snubbed again? Straight up bullshit. Look at his accolades, watch his matches.

Eh, I wouldn't read too deeply into that. Most guys don't put a lot of Japanese/international guys on their list and those they do are long running legends (Muta, Liger, El Santo etc...). It took a long time for Tanahashi to get in (only a couple of years ago) so give it time, Okada's just a little fresh.

 

[Prince Vee]

Batista vs Roman Reigns! Ha I wonder who's going to get more hate. Shawn Michaels vs X Pac should be fun

 

[ShinChan]

And here I was dreaming of Kenny Omega being in it.

Not so soon.

 

[ShinChan]

Funny how Dean Ambrose was in this tourney last year and after finally winning the big title last year, he ain't in this year's tourney.
