What's the story?
Wrestling MediaCon in Manchester, England on the weekend on the 8th and 9th is set to be the second huge wrestling event to take place in September following ALL IN and the largest wrestling convention in the UK boasts a whole host of wrestling shows, panels and events including Rev Pro and NJPW's British J Cup.
In case you didn't know...
The first ever British J Cup, a cup and tournament held by top British promotion Rev Pro was contested between Will Ospreay, Tiger Mask, Marty Scurll, Josh Bodom, KUSHIDA, Kyle O'Reilly, Jushin Thunder Liger and Ryusuke Taguchi. It was Liger who emerged victorious and became the first ever holder of the British J Cup
The heart of the matter
Liger is now set to defend his title against a much larger field of wrestlers with Ryusuke Taguchi, Rocky Romero, Chris Ridgeway, Kyle Fletcher, Sho, Yoh, Kurtis Chapman, El Phantasmo, Rich Swann, Tiger Mack IV, Bandido, Dean Allmark, Flamita, David Starr and KUSHIDA
The first round matches have been announced and already the tournament is looking incredible, here they are
Kushida vs Chris Ridgeway

David Starr vs Tiger Mask
Sho vs Dean Allmark
Flamita vs Rich Swann
Rocky Romero vs Kurtis Chapman

What's next?
If you're not sure about what's going to happen at this show, Rev Pro have kindly tweeted a small highlight reel from the competitors involved and it's exactly the kind of high-flying stuff you'd expect.
