@thebatmanwhoposts9600 Buddy in the C2 vs Buddy in Australia, I wonder what AEW thinks will help ticket sales for Grand Slam Australia more?... You're kidding yourself if you think TK didn't sign off on it before he even started booking the C2
Also nice touch, to have a member represent his faction. For example where we had Jay White last year, now we got Juice. Or how we get Okada represent Elite. Claudio represent Death Riders. Now we don't have Rush, but Beast Mortos is part of his faction. We get Shelton represent Hurt Syndicate. Mark Briscoe represent his faction (OC. O'Riley, Ishii, Rocky). Kyle Fletcher represents Don Family. I dig that
Blue 🔵💙 League C-2: Okada, Kyle Fletcher, Daniel Garcia, The Beast Mortos, Mark Briscoe, & Shelton Benjamin Gold 🥇🪙 League C-2: Will Osprey, Juice Robinson, t Brody King, Ricochet, Claudio Castangoli, & Darby Allin
Wish Speedball Mike Bailey had been introduced. The matchups would’ve been insane. Speedball vs Ospreay. Speedball vs Ricochet. Speedball vs Shelton Benjamin.
Mark Briscoe shouldn't be in the tournament. It's a wasted spot. They should've place Takeshita instead. Garcia too shouldn't be participate when he's already the TNT champion.
I'm hopin' for a Buddy Matthews, beast Mortos, Takeshita, Bandito (if healthy), Shelton Benjamin selection for this C2 among others! Edit: They made a solid selection of folks but I do think there are too many repeat wrestlers from last year in it. They could've added a Takeshita or a Buddy Matthews.
Admittedly, I wouldn't have had all those repeats with Daniel, Brody, Mark and Claudio, but seeing some of the big "new names" in the C2 will make those repeats worth it. Can't wait for the Continental Classic!
Cant complain about this lineup at all. This tournament is about to high octane af 🔥🔥🔥 Although I wish Rush, Buddy Matthews, Pac, etc were in it, its still exciting
@@chemicalrose1335 I would assume Okada will also be in the tournament (sort of) how Kingston was in it last year. If the final isn't Okada vs Take with Take going over what are we even doing.
will ospreay has been competing in every tournaments in New japan pro wrestling and I hope he wins the continental classic and face Okada for the continental championship
That's what I'm hoping for too. Maybe they work it into a kyle fletcher will ospreay maych at revolution. Like fletcher finally steps out of Ospreay's shadow and Ospreay goes on to one up him by winning the C2. Not saying it must happen that way but that could be good.
Brody will be honoring House of Black this year again. He did exceptionally well last year, and he was with injured hand. Dude will be a wrecking ball this year.
Imagine if the reward for the current continental champion winning the tournament was a world title shot similar to option c. Then the next year leading up to the tournament people would have a reason for wanting the title.
AEW - I STRONGLY recommend you to expand the Continental Classic Selection from 6 in each group to 9 in each group. The following wrestlers NEED to be included and they can have their matches on RAMPAGE and/or RUclips if there isn't enough time on the other shows: > Buddy Murphy > Malakai Black > Kota Ibushi > Lance Archer > Samoa Joe > RUSH There shouldn't be any reason to why this cannot be done, especially as the increase has been requested for nearly a year!
Gold League is insane, while Blue League seems to be for either Kyle or Okada (still, love the Dark Horses wrestling each other and sometimes getting upset wins over top guys(. Juice and Mortos as Dark Horses, great picks. Juice vs Brody is low key the match I am most excited for. Not to mention, Ricochet match ups with guys like Brody and Darby. Shelton vs Okada another one I am excited. Basically this looks like a great time to be a wrestling fan
This is a much better bracket presentation compared to last year. Schiavone presenting with a heavy emphasis on the sport element, it was like some sportcasting when they talk about each team's line up before the Grand Final (Like AFL or Rugby cause that's what I know). Love that.
I'm hyped for this! Last year was great. To see what happened led to great things for all involved. I'm doing my best to be part of the NYC shows towards the end.
@BrockHeyman4L same was said about Fletcher beating Ospreay. Same was said Lesnar defeating Undertaker or vice versa Guerrero defeating Lesnar or Velasquez defeating Lesnar.
Last year's tournament was when I really fell in love with AEW. It was some of the best wrestling I'd ever seen and I've been looking forward to this year's CC. Seeing the line-up, I think it's going to be even better than last year. Thank you, AEW.
KOR replaces Briscoe Matthews replaces King PAC replaces Claudio Sammy replaces Darby That’s just me But the Blue League is definitely bonkers … is that airing on Collision or are they going to mix and match?
I would had swap matthews for brody and pac for claudio personally. Takeshita already did G1 and doesn't need to kill himself again. Benjamin is cool even though I would had perfered somebody younger or fresher but i don't mind. Plus you need people to lose as well. Ospreay vs fletcher is too obvious. Im gonna go with okada vs ricochet as my final prediction. Should be fun c2 though.
Some I love, like Mortos, some I would might have choosen differently but are still great, like Claudio, but the one I would disagree on is Brody King; don't get me wrong he's great, but I feel like this was Buddy's time to shine, plus there are quite a bit of repeats from last year already. It's not a bad choice to not include him, but my family and I seem most surprised that Kyle O'Reilly isn't on there, it seems like it was built for him. I kind of thought it was going to have Big Bill too, and then those two can finally get a match together.
Gonna be an awesome tournament again, putting Shelton Benjamin in was an inspired choice to keep him prominent as a wrestler even after Lashley's big coming out party at Full Gear, but I do wish there were a couple fewer repeat entries. Much as I love Brody King and Claudio Castagnoli, I think another member of their faction would have been better-served in this tournament (namely Buddy Matthews and Wheeler Yuta respectively), although I can see why Daniel Garcia and Mark Brisco are getting another run.
Buddy is going to be spending some time in Australia in December. He’s gonna be at MCW on the 8th. It just seems like he’s taking a little break during the C2, so hopefully next year.
My ideal one for this year Gold: Mike Bailey Konosuke Takeshita Kyle O’Reilly Shelton Benjamin Ricochet Beast Mortos Blue Bandido Ricky Starks Will Ospreay Powerhouse Hobbs Kazuchika Okada Scorpio Sky Would have Takeshita win his league and Bandido win his league, Okada losing the championship by not making it to the finals and ultimately have Bandido win leading to a rematch with Takeshita with the Continental and International Championships being amalgamated
Wow. AEW finally create a new tournament called AEW Continental Classic on league format system. Reminds me football/soccer but this is wrestling. Interesting, looking forward.
I know everyone wants buddy (me too) but he might leave soon so there’s no point Brody isn’t leaving still part of HOB and made a promo with Julia last week
Buddy Matthews should have been in the C2 this year
Yep. Pretty much every match from Buddy for the past year has been a banger. He needs a singles push ASAP.
too much like right
He's in Australia for MCW End Game in 2 weeks
@thejaejae316 he's signed to AEW they should come before any indie commitments.

Good shout! Didn’t notice that but that’s awesome tbh

No Undisputed Kingdom
We need Okada vs. Shelton. We NEED it.
Well we are gonna get it
@@prodbyANT It'll be Ospreay vs Fletcher with Davis turning heel on Ospreay costing him the match.

This thing is tailor made for Shelton good call
I'm hoping for Big Bill, Hook, Shelton Benjamin, Malakai Black, Mortos, Hobbs, Hologram, KOR and Hangman Adam Page
I’m hoping for will osprey or Kyle fletcher to be in this year.
Takeshita already did G1 , he is gonna be fine defending his title elsewhere
@@DamariJackson24 You got it!
I’m thinking this could be a loaded Classic
With the names AEW has now, this is most likely gonna happen
@@alternative7586 FACTS
I can't tell who's going to win so not sure what you're on about
@@DamariJackson24he's back with his FACTS derrrr
This lineup was better than I anticipated
Great field -- it's all the underrated upper card guys and faction workhorses.
Admittedly, I wouldn't have had all those repeats with Daniel, Brody, Mark and Claudio, but seeing some of the big "new names" in the C2 will make those repeats worth it. Can't wait for the Continental Classic!
Looks like Kyle Fletcher will be the "Swerve Strickland" of the Continental Classic this year.
No RUSH 😢
Beast Mortos better
😔
Cant complain about this lineup at all. This tournament is about to high octane af 🔥🔥🔥 Although I wish Rush, Buddy Matthews, Pac, etc were in it, its still exciting
Rush over Beast Mortos
Yeah there's always next year you never know but this years c2 is 🔥🔥🔥 can't wait for Wednesday
THE CONTROL CENTER IS BACK
0:59
Aew bout to get interesting because of C2. Solid selection. I really wish Buddy or Roddy to be a part this year.
Yeah but there's always next year
Agreed, but I can also agree with the hope those guys will make it in next yr.
AEW LOYAL 4EVER
Manifesting Takeshita being in it and winning the whole damn thing 🙏
EDIT: Hmmm. HMMMMMMMMM!
Then we may FINALLY get Konosuke/Okada 1v1
@@chemicalrose1335 I would assume Okada will also be in the tournament (sort of) how Kingston was in it last year. If the final isn't Okada vs Take with Take going over what are we even doing.
But if Takeshita is in it, that would mean that all of the mid card champions are in the tournament.
FACTS so we can get Takeshita TWO BELTS.
@@chemicalrose1335If we don't get that match by April at the latest, Tony Khan is officially worse than Satan

AEW has such amazing talent is hard to predict the winner of this year's continental classic
So there's no Malachi black that's crazy
Brody King 👑
Malakai is leaving aew
I want Buddy Matthews in C2
Agreed!
Brody will be honoring House of Black this year again. He did exceptionally well last year, and he was with injured hand. Dude will be a wrecking ball this year.
Brody has had too many chances for singles shit. Especially with the crowds reaction to buddy. But nope. Tony is still mad at him
Imagine if the reward for the current continental champion winning the tournament was a world title shot similar to option c. Then the next year leading up to the tournament people would have a reason for wanting the title.
Man Okada and Ospreay at worlds end would be amazing
Last year’s tournament was awesome. This should be no different.
Last year’s was terrible and derided by the majority of people. 🤷♂️
@@gmac673that’s your opinion it was praised and enjoyed by a plethora of others including myself that rated it highly from start to finish

I didn't think it was going to happen, but Somoa Joe in this would have been a dream pick.
Tony looks like he really white knuckled this
I do miss Powerhouse Hobbs, Buddy Matthews and Pac here, but they're still very good brackets.
Frank the lawyer LOL
The field is so stacked!
Gold League is insane, while Blue League seems to be for either Kyle or Okada (still, love the Dark Horses wrestling each other and sometimes getting upset wins over top guys(.

RIP my goat. Sacrifice time off the shelf for time off Garcias life when you at 100%
Fletcher/Ospreay for the final???
That's my guess now
Okada Ospreay
Talk about stacked
Along with the C2, ROH should round out a tournament with anyone that has gotten left out of this tourney.
This is a much better bracket presentation compared to last year. Schiavone presenting with a heavy emphasis on the sport element, it was like some sportcasting when they talk about each team's line up before the Grand Final (Like AFL or Rugby cause that's what I know). Love that.
I was hoping for Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley and buddy would be good
I am very Happy with the Picks, especially happy with Shelton Benjamin.
I hope and wish that Continental Classic (C2) would eventually achieve the prestige that G1 Climax has.
I'm hyped for this! Last year was great. To see what happened led to great things for all involved. I'm doing my best to be part of the NYC shows towards the end.
This could be a stacked tournament
This is going to be good I hope will have a great run maybe win the whole thing
I hope will osprey and mark briscoe are the final 2 talk about a awesome match
I hope this creates stars or super stars.
Looking forward to this year’s continental classic can’t
Wait
We get Okada vs. Shelton Benjamin. That is awesome
Wow that's a ton of matches
Pls have Ricochet, Ospreay, Takeshita, Benjamin
3 of the 4 made it.

Only thing AEW is killing is itself. 🤷♂️
Ospreay vs Darby. Darby Vs Ricochet. Shelton Vs Okada. Shelton Vs Fletcher, Mortos Vs Okada, Etc. 🥵🥵
Fletcher winning this will solidify his main event status
He’s not beating okada😂
@BrockHeyman4L same was said about Fletcher beating Ospreay. Same was said Lesnar defeating Undertaker or vice versa Guerrero defeating Lesnar or Velasquez defeating Lesnar.
Last year's tournament was when I really fell in love with AEW. It was some of the best wrestling I'd ever seen and I've been looking forward to this year's CC. Seeing the line-up, I think it's going to be even better than last year.
Thank you, AEW.
Big Boom AJ v Takeshita C2 Final
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This lineup of stories and matches are 🔥.
I hope they have a continental classic for the woman
Pff, not anytime soon
In my opinion the Champions should NOT be in the continental classic cuz they're already a Champion
There are always champions in round-robin style tournaments. They're also always in the Royal Rumble too. Every company does it.
if DG does Continental classic match upon dynamite(or collision),he still can do TNT championship storyline on collision(or dynamite)at the same time
I prefer that they had to put their title on the line to participate, as to dissuade Champions from entering.
Champions enter the G1 and round robins are a great way to establish challengers for champs
@@daRockReaper If the matches are banger after banger I'm up for it!
Okada vs osprey
i still wish the champion got a match for the world title instead of getting put in a 12 man tournament
They should have one for the women's also!
Anybody else kind of wish there were more competitors or the leagues were bigger
My top 5 contineal superstars are Ricochet brody king Mark biscoe daniel Gracia and Darby allin 😮😮😮 😭😭😭👏👏👏😊
I believe that Ospreay might not go far cuz of how bad he got his ass beat by Kyle Fletcher at Full Gear.
I want to see Mercedes mone vs Leila grey
Shelton gonna add some AEW gold to his resume 😉
I want to see Mercedes mone vs Athena vs Red velvet vs Keira Hogan vs Trish adora vs Willow nightingale vs queen aminata vs Leila grey
Yes
Tony looks like heisenberg in the final episode of breaking bad
Let’s go can’t wait for Wednesday
Can we get the return of Ricky Starks?!
Gcw
We want Buddy Mathews! Let's Go Buddy! Let's get him in ASAP
Amazingly stacked! LFG!!!
Would love a Benjamin vs Osprey finale
Champion shouldnt be in
Others can get the highlight
But good picks nonetheless
Hope Sathnam singh wrestles in this
Love this, but is it possible to announce these earlier next year? Gives more time for the fans to get hype
They are doing so four days prior the first wrestling match.
This years brackets for the c2 is stacked so excited cant wait for this coming dynamite
KOR replaces Briscoe
Matthews replaces King
PAC replaces Claudio
Sammy replaces Darby
That’s just me
But the Blue League is definitely bonkers … is that airing on Collision or are they going to mix and match?
My guess is Blue is on Collison like last year.
December 18 Washington if Darby there’s there’s gonna be a massive pop
I'm sorry but where is Takeshita?
Man, the C2 IS SOME MUST SEE TV this year!
Too bad BUDDY MATTHEWS isn't in it, though
AEW IS THE BEST 💪💪
I would had swap matthews for brody and pac for claudio personally. Takeshita already did G1 and doesn't need to kill himself again.

Buddy not being in it is a bit odd
Stacked Tournament!
Benjamin solos but finals will be Okada vs Ospreay

Gold:
Mike Bailey
Konosuke Takeshita
Kyle O’Reilly
Shelton Benjamin
Ricochet
Beast Mortos
Blue
Bandido
Ricky Starks
Will Ospreay
Powerhouse Hobbs
Kazuchika Okada
Scorpio Sky
Would have Takeshita win his league and Bandido win his league, Okada losing the championship by not making it to the finals and ultimately have Bandido win leading to a rematch with Takeshita with the Continental and International Championships being amalgamated
Shouldn’t Ospreay be kayfabe nursing his injuries?
Ospreay is not afraid of the grind 😂
He's probably gonna sell it hard during matches (like Danielson did) and it will be the reason for him loosing
Absolutely buzzing for this.
Wow. AEW finally create a new tournament called AEW Continental Classic on league format system. Reminds me football/soccer but this is wrestling. Interesting, looking forward.
Not including Malika black is crime
