Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted April 4, 2002 This topic has been done quite a few times already, but I'm going to try to put a new spin on it. Instead of the typical "this would be good, that would suck" bit. I'm going to take a look at everything involved in the tournament itself. First off is who should host it. 1994 had New Japan, 1995 had WAR and 2000 had M Pro, since the concept seems to be a new host each year, and All Japan and NOAH seem to have sub par junior divisions, I'd say either Toryumon or Osaka pro would be logical choices. Okay now who should book the tournament? whoever gets the task should do two things, 1. Not be in the tournament himself, and 2. Have a good history of good booking. The most important part of any junior tournament is wrestlers. I'm going to group them in 3 groups. 1. Welcome to J Cup, Wrestlers who havn't been in one yet. Dragon Kid, his flipping can really pop a crowd. Little Guido, don't let his ECW image fool you, he's a former wrestler in UWFI and can really go on the ground and is nice diverse wrestler Dick Togo, a great brawler and some decent skills Elix Skipper, another wrestler who's crappy portrayal leaves his skills pretty unknown. Tatsuhito Takaiwa, like Guido, he adds a nice diverse style to the typical high flying Koji Kanemoto, one of the best wrestlers in New Japan alone. Minoru Tanaka, almost single handly saved the New Japan Jr. divison 2. Welcome Back, wrestlers who've been here before Massaki Mochkizuki, he's gotten a lot better since 1995 Curry Man, is a lot better than his match with Onryo made him look CIMA, put on some great matches in 2000 SUWA, should have gone farther Tiger Mask IV, see above. 3. Don't Come Back, wrestlers who need to stay out. Jyushin Lyger, he's won twice, let him present the trophy to the winner or something Great Sasuke, we already know how good he is, pass the torch to another awsome wrestler Gran Hamada, J Cup is where many young guys get shots to become stars, he's a star already Ricky Fuji, he sucks feedback is welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 4, 2002 Dr Wanger Jr Shocker Tarzan Boy Mascara Magica luchadores from CMLL? Was Dr Wanger JR and Shocker in the J Cup in 2000 or 2001? If so how did they look? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jubuki Report post Posted April 4, 2002 Uhh... There was no J-Cup in '01 (not that there's a Dr. Wanger, but...). Wag and Shocker were in the BoSJ tournament, not the J-Cup. Totally different things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MRFTW Report post Posted April 4, 2002 "First off is who should host it." Toryumon and might as well let Dragon book it. I like them but acording to rumors Osaka Pro's barely even staying in business. Who i'd have in it Massaki Mochkizuki Dragon Kid Cima Millano Collection AT Takehiro Murahama Super Delfin El Samurai Koji Kanemoto Minoru Tanaka TM4 Gran Hamada Kaz Hayashi Ricky Fuji(I like him) Taijiri A Noah Wrestler(don't know who) A Lucha Wrestler(don't know who) Other matches on the show Magnum Tokyo/Ultimo Dragon(since he said he was coming out of retirement) vs Liger/Great Sasuke A 6 or 8 man tag match A comedy match of some sort Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 4, 2002 if the J Cup is a tourny of champions then Shockerdeserves the spot since he is the current CMLL Semi Completo Campion if there will be tag matches then have Los Guerreros de Inferno (Tarzan Boy's team) vs Kaienti. Would be a dream match. but Mascara Magica seems to be getting a push with his win over Hijo de Santo in the Cybernetico Tourny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shawn Report post Posted April 5, 2002 Toryumon to host and CIMA to win after Lyger SELLS a Mad Splash in a rematch from the last. CIMA should've won that match and I'm still buzzing about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted April 5, 2002 If Vince McMahon would let him I'd like to see Billy Kidman in there. He could have a hell of a match with guys like TM IV, CIMA, and Dragon Kid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shawn Report post Posted April 5, 2002 I could see him do well with Ricky Martin (not the bon bon guy). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Joshi Guerrero Report post Posted April 8, 2002 If I was booking it I would have - Jushin Liger, Minoru Tanaka, Tiger Mask IV, Dick Togo, El Felino, Ultimo Guerrero, CIMA, Dragon Kid, Milano Collection A.T, Takehiro Murahama, Super Delphin, Asian Cougar, Tajiri, Kidman, Naomichi Marufuji & Kaz Hyashi. For the finals, have Liger put over Marufuji. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted April 12, 2002 My roster would consist of: CIMA Tiger Mask 4 Minrou Tanaka Masahito Kakihara Koji Kanemoto Dragon Kid Curry Man Billy Kidman Little Guido Super Crazy Tajiri Massaki Mochizuki Tatsuhito Takaiwa Elix Skipper Kendo Ka Shin Ricky Marvin I'd probably have Tiger Mask VS Kidman as the finals with Tiger Mask going over. If Vince wants to re-establish the Cruiserweight title, he ought to let Kidman (I think he has it now) deffend it in places like M Pro and Toryumon and let wrestlers from those fed come to WWF. I'd love to see CIMA vs Kidman on RAW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
