Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
So what are some match-ups you want to see booked for BOLA?

Just tournament matches, or are we talking non-tourney tags too? I really, really hope Pentagon Jr./Zack Sabre Jr. happens at some point.

Aerostar/Sydal, Osprey/Ricochet, Thatcher/Sabre, Andrews/Bailey all seem like really fun matchups with a clear winner to me. I'm trying to think of a good striker to put with Tommy except for Hero since they already had a match, Galloway maybe?

Neither of those guys should be losing in the first round imo, that matchup screams opener of Night 3 to me. Then Zack beats Pentagon to go to the finals.

I'm not sure if the Lucha Underground guys can speak much English. That would make it very tough for them to plan out matches with everyone else.

Given that they all work with English-speaking workers all the time in LU, and that like half of them are native or near-native English speakers anyways, I wouldn't be too worried.

I'm betting Trevor/Ricochet/Sabre with Zack submitting Trevor personally. I've already explained why I think Zack's winning the whole thing this year, and I'm even more confident in that opinion after he beat Hero at Mystery Vortex III. Zack has yet to lose a match in PWG to anyone other than the currently reigning champion, and against both Roddy and Kyle he was portrayed as taking them to the limit. Ricochet also hasn't lost a singles match in PWG except his title shot against Kyle in ages, so I think to protect that he has to at least make the finals. Unless you do a Rushmore post-match attack like Roddy did to Kyle last year, but 1) they just did that, and 2) Roddy was at least in the bracket last year and nobody from Rushmore 2.0 is this time. Then you just need someone reasonably popular and well-booked to take the fall, and the obvious candidates for that to me seem like Cage or Trevor (maybe Biff now that he's winning matches), unless they want to really get behind one of the outsiders to mix it up.

I'm sure Evans and Angelico could help plan matches between the Lucha guys if there is a language barrier. Holy poo poo I didn't know Drago was loving 40 years old.

Hopefully that's just a temporary increase from the expense of booking all those European and Mexican dudes and not the going rate, because drat.

Rey Mysterio vs. literally anyone he ever wrestled in this country. Also, these are hilariously narrow rules, Japanese wrestlers who probably barely speak any English have 4+ star matches with MGKA, AJ, Ricochet, etc. all the loving time.

Just went back and checked my Paypal receipts. BOLA last year (when I started going) was 40 per night, GA went up to 45 for Don't Sweat the Technique in April.

The thing is, Rey Mysterio can speak English. Aero Star, Drago and Pentagon Jr. cannot.

Working out super fast-paced Lucha spots is much different than working a much slower Puro style. Also, the Dragon Gate guys can speak English.

I'm getting GA only because I feel like if front row gets sold out I might not have a chance of grabbing GA tickets.

Matt Jackson was saying because of it being BOLA weekend the most sure way of getting in without tickets is to show up at like 4 hours before the show.

Yeah, if you show up at the Legion hall at like 4 you'll be near the front of the door ticket line. Hopefully the people in the group who actually get tickets can save seats for the rest of us.

That Night One tag match should be loving rad, I know Scurll and Zack tag some on the English scene when Zack's not in Japan.
