That's just not the way it ended up. I like Sami more than a lot of you seem to, but I don't want him winning this either. And I think it's perfectly reasonable to have reservations about Keith Lee or Jeff Cobb working three times in one night. Neither guy strikes me as having a great deal of stamina, and plenty of guys with top level cardio would probably be worn down to nothing by three matches in burning hot conditions. Which is why, yet again, I want to suggest an alternative way to do BOLA as a three night event. A couple, actually. Alternative schedule #1-Instead of having Night Three be twelve matches long, do all twelve first round matches on Night One instead. Then, do the six quarterfinals on Night Two, with three non-tournament matches featuring round one losers and other surprise talent. Night Three opens with the three semi-finals, has four non-tournament matches featuring round one and two losers and other talent, and then finishes up with the finals. Alternative schedule #2-Night One has six first round matches, and then has the three quarterfinals set up from those first round matches. Night Two does the same with the other half of the bracket. Night Three opens with the three semi-finals, has four non-tournament matches with the round one and two losers and other talent, and then finishes up with the finals. Not perfect, but at least nobody has to wrestle three times in one night.

Evans is too busy world traveling off the back of LU these days. Ospreay's cut down on bookings these days due to the wear and tear on his body from his style, and really doesn't do much but UK and NJPW work now. I was hoping for Marufuji, since he seems to be taking more Western dates now.
