New Japan Pro Wrestling revealed the participants and brackets for the 2017 Best of the Super Juniors tournament at this morning's Wrestling Dontaku show. The lineup features a number of talented junior heavyweight wrestlers from all over the world.

Block A features New Japan regulars Jushin Thunder Liger, Ricochet, Will Ospreay, Taichi, Taka Michinoku, and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi. CMLL’s Dragon Lee and ROH’s Marty Scurll round off the list.

Block B features Tiger Mask IV, Ryusuke Taguchi, KUSHIDA, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, El Desperado, and BUSHI from NJPW. Volador Jr. from CMLL and newly independent wrestler ACH round out this block.

This year's BOSJ is the 24th edition of the tournament. It will begin on May 17th at Korakuen Hall and culminate on June 3rd at Yoyogi National Gymnasium. New Japan World’s May schedule includes live shows on the 17th, 18th, 22nd, and 29th. For the shows that aren't live, tournament matches will be uploaded to the service the next day.

If Takahashi doesn't win the tournament, the winner will likely get a shot at his title at Dominion on June 11th.

So we've got Kamaitachi, Dragon Lee, Will Ospreay, Marty Scurll, and Ricochet ALL IN THE SAME BLOCK? And that's also LIGER'S BLOCK?! THIS WILL BE SOOOOOOO F*CKING AWESOME!

not really making tons of noise, but Volador, ACH, KUSHIDA, and Kanemaru should all have great matches between themselves, Taguchi too if he goes serious

so there is no Bullet Club representation in either bracket. I think Scurll is joining BC soon
