Bockwinkel said that the mini-gauntlet matches are meant to act as a primer for the LCW Survival Project pay-per-view on September 21st only on LCWSurvivalProject.com in which 50 men will face each other in a single-elimination gauntlet tournament to determine the number one contenders for the LCW International Championship and the LCW Universal Championship. The man with the most eliminations that night will become the number one contender for the LCW International Championship while the man standing victorious at the end of the night, regardless of how many men he has eliminated, will become the number one contender for the top prize in Legends Championship Wrestling, the LCW Universal Championship.
