What a first half! Some great names in 8-16 too. This will be an epic Carat.

Second half...

Robert Dreissker

Da Mack or Marty Scurll (February 6th)
Sasa Keel or Mike Schwarz (February 13th)

Angelico
Sami Callihan

My potential favourite lineup (ADJ/Damo was a tossup)

Does the five slot mean those guys are all in some multiman match to decide who gets the spot?

They're in a mini tournament over February and early March to get a spot

Does anybody want to split a room for the weekend somewhere? I'm looking to reduce costs where i can, and i wouldn't mind sharing a room with a fellow wrestling fan.

Ah okay, it just seems every time I watch WXW they're putting on some huge multiman match that is inevitably terrible. Glad that's not the case here.

Kim Ray is in 16 Carat, he beat Michael Dante last night.

Dang, was hoping for Dante vs Tommy

I like Dante, but Kim has progressed so much over the past year that he has definitely earned his spot in this years Carat.

Robert Dreissker is out for six months with a shoulder injury, and will miss 16 Carat Gold. Ilja Dragunov replaces him.

Saw Back to the Roots over the past couple of days. The six man War Games match was so bloody and insane. Dragunov has had a broken skull, and still goes head first into a slamming cage door. Axel Dieter Jr. bled a good un', and some crazy high flying from Da Mack.

Also really liked SDS/Riots (nice carry over from PROGRESS) and Bad Bones/Dijak was really good for a Big Lads Match.

[themib]

Daisuke Sekimoto has pulled out of 16 Carat Gold because BJW have booked him in a match on March 10th, and he's not able to reschedule a flight to get from Japan to Germany in sufficient time. Drew Galloway takes his place in the tournament.

Also, Leva Bates will be a special guest on Night 1.

[STRIGGA]

There has been a change in management in Big Japan which is why they didn't consider his Germany booking which sucks so much, but it sometimes happens in wrestling. Still...may be the first time ever that I'm mad at Big Japan.

First Round Draw...

*Axel Dieter Jr. vs. Marty Scurll - I QUIT MATCH
*Angelico vs. Trevor Lee
*Big Daddy Walter vs. Zack Sabre Jr.
*Drew Galloway vs. Silas Young
*Ilja Dragunov vs. Mike Bailey
*Shane Strickland vs. Will Ospreay
*Sasa Keel vs. Road to 16 Carat Gold League Winner
*Kim Ray vs. Sami Callihan

Also confirmed, the other Night 1 match will be Leva Bates vs. Toni Storm.

Night 2 is headlined by a three way for the wXw Unified World Wrestling Championship, with Karsten Beck defending against Absolute Andy and "Bad Bones" John Klinger.

[van Fair]

Axel vs Marty has the potential to be great. The match also has the added stipulation that Hot&Spicy has to disband if Marty wins.
Otherwise I'm really excited for ZackDaddy explodes! and Ilja Dragunov vs Mike Bailey given the style of reckless abandon of those two someone might die in that match.
