– Progress Wrestling today announced the brackets for their upcoming 16-man tournament, Super Strong Style 16.
SSS16 has quickly become one of the most talked about and prestigious tournaments in all of wrestling, alongside PWG’s Battle of Los Angeles and WxW’s 16 Carat Gold.
Entrants in this year’s SSS16 include Matt Riddle, Jeff Cobb, Zack Sabre Jr, and former WWE UK Champion Tyler Bate. Many fans, however, are currently pegging ‘The Kiwi Buzzsaw’ Travis Banks, as an early favourite.
