So, the folks running the Pro Wrestling Xperience X-16 Tournament, happening Labor Day Weekend in Winston-Salem, NC at VapeMania XV, thought they'd announced everyone for the fray, but they'd actually left one slot open. That slot has not been filled, but another name has been announced. As fate would have it, Joe Black will not be able to participate in the tournament because of a scheduling conflict. PWX announced last night who would be taking his place on the Twitters:

Yep, Tim Donst's big comeback tour will take him down to North Cackalacky for some hot tournament action. While this booking scuttles some long-held hope that he'd make his return to Chikara during King of Trios, it's still awesome to see him test his mettle against some of the biggest stars on the indies. The field also includes Ricochet, Trevor Lee, Andrew Everett, Moose, Gunner, Tessa Blanchard, Tommaso Ciampa, David Starr, Caleb Konley, Zane Riley, Ethan Case, Shane Strickland, Chip Day, and "The Manscout" Jake Manning. Labor Day weekend is looking to be mighty fine for wrestling no matter where you are in the country.
