Personally, for debuts, I would like to see Jonathan Gresham, Timothy Thatcher, Drew Galloway, Tyson Dux, or PJ Black (formerly known as Justin Gabriel). For returns, I would hope for Akira Tozawa, Karl Anderson, Alex Shelley, TJ Perkins Brian Myers, or Masaaki Mochizuki. Also a veteran participant I really would like to see get brought in would be 2 Cold Scorpio because he can still go or even bring in John Morrison to participate as well, he lives in the the area anyways and I think he could work well in PWG.
I would like to see international names being involved, I know Super Dragon mentioned he tried to bring in Masato Tanaka but something didn't work out but I would to see that work out again or maybe some other international guys like KUSHIDA, Tomohiro Ishii, Tomoaki Honma, Kota Ibushi, or some other NJPW guy that NJPW would have no problem taking losses in BOLA, maybe someone from Dragon Gate like T-Hawk or Big R Shimazu, or Daisuke Sekimoto for guys in Japan or maybe get guys like Pentagon Jr. or Flamita for luchadors.
Also, I do hope that certain guys in ROH have their contract end this year, not sure if their contract is up this year but generally Kyle O'Reilly, Adam Cole, Michael Elgin, and Bobby Fish returning would be nice as long as their ROH contract is ending.
Also finally, I would like to see AJ Styles returning but not as a BOLA participant obviosuly, instead put Styles in some non-tournament matches teaming with the Young Bucks instead.

Ring of Honor is running in Atlanta that weekend. Any ROH talent will be on that show. Unless they leave ROH , odds are that ACH , Cedric Alexander , Matt Sydal , Chris Sabin and Andrew Everett will be in Georgia . You might want to get six backup names.
I would imagine some TNA talent might be booked , they can work indies now . Guys like Davey Richards , TJ Perkins , Low Ki , Drew Galloway , Kenny King and Austin Aries might become a more viable option for PWG . Since TNA , unlike ROH , does not run houses.

I 100% agree with you. I hate when people say "the indys arn't what they were ten years ago". Don't get me wrong, having all those guys in the indys at once was mind blowing, but they were all young at one point too; Samoa Joe was origianlly planned to wrestle only one ROH match, Danielson was "too one dimentional" to carry the ROH World Title, Steen and Generico wrestled a match so bad they stopped getting booked, and O'Reilly was once one of the most hated wrestlers on the indys. The point I'm trying to make is this is the best I've seen the indys in YEARS,even with all the WWE signings. There are a lot of young guys, but isn't that why we love independant wrestling? The indys and PWG's roster are just so diverse right now. I feel like id 5-10 years we will be saying "holy shit, I can't believe all these guys were all on the indys at once".
Not saying I'd want to see this, but there is enough great talent to book a 4 night 36 man tourney.

PWG actually may have a potential problem with BOLA, although it's not a bad problem to have, it may be difficult to narrow the list to 24 guys. When I first made mine I didn't even realise I left off Hero. I didn't list Tommy End or Timothy Thatcher. If I had to leave people off I wouldn't have ACH or AR Fox in this thing with the matches they have been having. I wouldnt book Sabin as I feel like Sydal will probally make a deep run. I wouldn't split up Team Tremendous either, they are so much better together, unlike Silver, Reynolds, Page, and Alexander, who are all established singles wrestlers.
