Super Crazy: Recently Doane's lackey in the Doane-Ation, Super Crazy knows what it's like to hold the gold.
Douglas Williams: This Brit is considered one of the best pound for pound wrestlers in the world.
Suicide: After appearing in a video game, this masked superstar came to life, but who is behind the mask?
Ultimo Dragon: Still under TWF contract, this former main event level superstar has spent the past several years in Japan helping promote the TWF overseas while competing. What better way for the Dragon to make his return to a TWF ring?
Jushin Thunder Liger: One of the most recognizable foreign competitors in history, this man is always a threat.
Max Moon: Not much is known about this man, other than that he is billed from "Outer Space" and he did compete in the 2010 TWF Royal Rumble.
Davey Richards: This man has been getting rants and raves in wrestling circles all over the world. A regular competitor in Ring of Honor, Richards is now getting his chance.
Justin Gabriel: A young, athletic wrestler from South Africa. Appears to have all the tools physically.
Kaval: Formerly known as Low-Ki, TWF audiences are already familiar with this very dangerous man.
Essa Rios: A TWF Hall of Famer and former multiple time Lightheavyweight title holder. Rios had a high asking price, but he'll lace the boots up again for the company that turned him into a star.
Blitzkrieg: What can you say? Another guy behind a mask; hasn't been seen since the dying days of WCW.
Mike Modest: Wow, how long has it been since you heard that name? At one time, this guy was actually a competitor in Smoky Mountain Wrestling.
Hayabusa: Legendary Japanese superstar who has also held the TWF Lightheavyweight strap before. A severe neck injury seemingly cut his career short, but Hayabusa has resurfaced and has to be considered one of the favorites.
DOWNLOADED FROM LIVE COMMUNITY Reptile: A ninja dressed in green, looks very much like the character from the 'Mortal Kombat' series. Silver Wolf: Native American superstar that just meets the weight limit at 230. Azteca: Masked man from Mexico who credits Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero for giving him the inspiration to become a wrestler.
There you have it, the 16 man field. TWF officials have stated that some of these men will earn contracts through this tournament to create a "new and improved" Lightheavyweight division. Super Crazy and Ultimo Dragon are already under contract. Below is the bracket for this tournament which will get underway soon. One idea we are considering is streaming the tournament live on the TWF broadband channel.
