Looks good. I'll post thoughts in a bit.

Two of my personal favorites makes this one I'm looking forward to. Sabin can really go on the mat (see his match against Doug Williams) and Gibson is awesome. Hopefully this will get some time.

I've seen Black live and he's pretty good, it'll be interesting to see what AJ can get out of him. Will either be a fun spotfest or a trainwreck.

I've seen this match live before at a No Limits show, and it was VERY entertaining while mixing comedy with great wrestling. Should be good.

Abercrombie's alright, but I'm REALLY hoping Dragon makes it past the first round this year. Could be a fun beating.

I'm not a Generico fan at all, but Sydal is awesome so I could see this being decent. Hopefully Sydal moves on.

Don't know if these two have met before, but they have similar styles and looks so it could be interesting. Cide is clearly better though, so he needs to advance, possibly as far as the finals.

Could be alright. Haven't seen Storm in awhile but Thomaselli's gotten really good.

This will be awesome, possibly the match of the first round. Both guys can go on the mat and should tear it up, similar to Quack/Dragon last year.

Not a fan of either, and this has shit written all over it.

Odd that they're bringing Harris in for this, will be interesting to say the least.

Another match that will definately be great. Probably will be worked completely european style, which will be fun.

Brave's another young guy I've seen live who's shown promise. Here's to a Brookside/Dragon second round match though, that would own.

Will be good, not sure how good though.

If they go for a mix of comedy and serious wrestling it'll be great. If they just go straight up wrestling, it will be decent.

Anyone wanna pick a winner? It is this weekend after all....

No clue. I don't follow IWAMS enough, sorry. I'd go with Homicide. Just to say we use him better than his "home" promotion, RoH.

Actually, Homicide is out. Apparently he's run into some legal trouble in NYC...........Tracy Smothers is taking his place.
