The first round matches can be found below.
Of course, what would an East Coast invasion be without the legendary Jushin “Thunder” Liger, who pioneered bringing the New Japan style Stateside all the way back in 1991 during his classic confrontations with the late Brian Pillman in WCW. Liger, the reigning JAPW Light Heavyweight champion, will defend his title on 5/15 in Philadelphia against the innovative and unique Kenny Omega. Prior to that championship defense, Liger will team with Tiger Mask IV to face The Strong Style Thugz, Homicide and Low Ki in a true dream tag team match.
