Pretty good lineup so far. Not sure what direction ROH is going to go with this.

Pretty good lineup so far. Not sure what direction ROH is going to go with this. Build new stars, and establish the direction of the company going forward. They knew Jay was taking time off and elected to go this route rather than just "stay the course" and have him drop the belt on the way out to use the vacancy and first ever ROH title tournament as a way to make some new stars and get some buzz. This is a great chance to make some new stars and firmly establish the guy who comes out on top (presumably Elgin) as a legitimate force. Since the Briscoe Brothers are gone for now, and it looks like The American Wolves may soon follow, it is VITAL to the company that they make a hard push like this to get some new guys over. Watch for big showings from guys like Cedric Alexander who may have been hovering under the radar for a while now but have the skills to break out from the pack.

Tommaso Ciampa+Jay Lethal added Good. For some reason I thought this was only an 8 man tournament. This softens the blow of having Sonjay Dutt in there just a little.

yeah it's 16 man. Dutt still is a strange choice IMO.
