The latest on the World X-Cup, which will be held in late June and finish at the July 13th Victory Road PPV is as follows. There will be four teams, and as of now (and things can and likely will change) these are the expected lineups.
# Team TNA looks to be Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin so far, with nothing else confirmed. Either Sonjay Dutt or Black Machismo are likely to be added.
# Team Mexico as reported last week should be Averno, Volador Jr, Ultimo Guerrero and Rey Bucanero. This is said to be about 90% likely.
# Team Japan will be Milano Collection AT and Taichi Ishikari, who were already announced. Their partners, who are from Dragon Gate will be Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino.
# The final team will be Team International, and there is not a lot conformed about the team. The top names being considered for the team are Tyson Dux, Doug Williams, Alex Kozlov and Shawn Daivari.

I'm really happy for Tyson Dux. It's about time the Ontario Indy's gets looked at.

The DG guys and Sabin/Shelley could make for some good action.

I think it's good that there isn't too many big names. I like the whole 'seeing new talent' aspect and it makes it really 'world' if there is people you didn't know. I'm looking forward to it.

Both, Team International and Team Japan, look pretty damn stacked.

Leave it to TNA to screw up one of the most anticipated things of 2008.

Is there any logic behind a 'Team International'? The whole point of having this kind of tournament is for each team to represent their specific nation. That's like the Olympics having an international team with people from random countries... makes no sense. They should've brought in Prince Devitt and made it Team UK.

The thought of seeing Masato Yoshino and Naruki Doi vs. MCMG on television is great. These two teams really need to square off before this thing is said and done. |

Bring back Team Canada Agreed. Team International is a lame concept. |
