Revolution Pro Wrestling (Rev Pro) has announced the final competitors for their upcoming British J Cup.
This will be the second iteration of the tournament, the debut field in 2017 included Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger, Kushida, Will Ospreay, Marty Scurll, Kyle O’Reilly, Josh Bodom, Ryusuke Taguchi and Tiger Mask IV. This year’s tournament will be taking place from the Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester, England on September 8th and 9th.
The newly confirmed competitors include:
- New Japan Pro Wrestling’s KUSHIDA
- Independent Star David Starr
- Dean Allmark
- Bandido
The final confirmed field of 16 is now as follows:
- Rich Swann
- Jushin Thunder Liger
- SHO
- YOH
- Taguchi
- Chris Ridgeway
- Rocky Romero
- El Phantasmo
- Kyle Fletcher
- KUSHIDA
- David Starr
- Dean Allmark
- Bandido
- Tiger Mask
- Kurtis Chapman
- Kyle Fletcher
Opinion: Some of the more unknown entities such as Kyle Fletcher (of the Aussie Open tag team), Kurtis Chapman, El Phantasmo and Chris Ridgeway will certainly be worth watching alongside the more established stars of New Japan and the Mexican scene. Rev Pro has a history of giving the younger Junior style performers a platform which includes the likes of Marty Scurll and Will Ospreay so this could be special. This could well be the launching pad for the likes of Chris Ridgeway who recently had a standout performance against KENOH in Ospreay’s Frontline Wrestling Promotion.
