It's happening in September. Bullet Club.. The Elite will attempt a 10,000 seat arena show. 

There's some discussion below in this clip. Can Bullet Club fill a 10k seat arena? If so. Who, how? What would it take? For shits and giggles, maybe book your card below.. 

Danielson? Punk? Okada? Jericho? 

It'll absolutely take Danielson. Since Bullet Club is New Japan, I expect they will send some guys over to give the event a boost. If they get Punk, it's a guaranteed success. It also depends where they hold the event.

I think to get that 10k they are going to have to think outside of the box big time here. Having Mr Arrow involved is a good look. A few more celebs wouldn't hurt. Maybe someone to face Stephen in some fashion. They need as many eyes as possible and a social media feud between two actors promoting this thing would be attention wrestling on its own wouldn't get.

CM Punk would be an obvy choice for a main event match if he was up for it, which is up in the air, especially as he still really wants one more UFC fight. If he were to agree to be a part of it, who would he face? I know it's a bit out there, but what about Chael Sonnen? Surely those two could talk 10k into the building. I think the could put on a great worked/shoot/pro wrestling match that would deliver on the night too.

I would also try to get as many podcast hosts involved as possible for maximum exposure and constant promotion. I know this is more than likely beyond the realms of possibility, but imagine if ol' Stone Cold himself were somehow a part of it? His name alone would drive ticket sales. Have maybe Tony and Colt do the announcing.

I know they are gonna end up using every BC member on the show somehow, but I would keep it to Cody, Scurll, The Elite and the BCOG's at most.

Obviously some of the top Japanese/NJPW stars need to find a place on the card, but I wouldn't rule out having some sort of Lucha influence somewhere too. Preferably some of the newer stars like Penta, Drago, Fenix ect.

Also, just because, I wanna see Teddy Hart and Jack Evans there too. And Matt Riddle, Jeff Cobb, and Keith Lee... And LowKi, naturally.

Souled Out 2018 baybay.

If the Chicago location rumor is true Punk would be the obvious choice. I'm not really sold he still has drawing power outside of that area.

The problem with Danielson is that by all accounts his WWE contract isn't up until September 29th.

One scenario mentioned in that video, was the split between Omega and Cody finally coming to a head at this PPV. With the two main eventing. Then again, you've got to get ROH and NJPW on board with this idea, as potentially they'll book the entire build towards this match, and neither will see the pay-off.

Yet my obvious main event would be Kenny Omega v CM Punk in Chicago. " The Best in the World v The Best in the World " 
The semi-main event would be Okada v Jericho in " The Best in the World v The Best in the World at what I do "
I don't know what happens before all this, but The Bucks would open the PPV in a superkicky, flippy shit type of match to get the crowd standing up. 

I'm not sure Cody and Omega have the name power to fill that many seats as a main event.

I am really thinking the rumors about it being in Chicago are because they may have Punk doing a one off match.  The Bucks have been talking to him for ages.  Curious how things will work given the tease that Cody and Kenny will be coming to blows sooner, rather than, later splitting the bullet club though.  Also curious if Jericho will appear.  Punk vs Jericho would be a big main event that is totally possible.  If they do run in Chicago I do expect to see Punk.  Even if he will not do a match, doing a run in to close the show would be huge for the show but more importantly, big for Punk.  Keeps him in the public eye, which will help him to get that second UFC fight.  Right now he is not REALLY a draw anymore.  Appearing in the spotlight again can give him leverage. 

If they do not get Punk or Jericho, they really will need Okada.  Okada vs Kenny for the US title would be big enough to be a legit headliner.  Otherwise maybe Cody vs Omega can headline.  

I hope to see Tanahasi there too. Hiromu and Daryl are too awesome to not have on the card.  Maybe a LIJ group can face the Bucks.

If they want to get 10k then doing any sort of match that has been built up or teased on RoH/NJPW as a main event draw is not the answer. This really needs to be presented as a show that fans, both casual and hardcore, can't miss. Not just a show for fans who like the BC.
