Watching his match with Danielson on my phone while at a hotel in Gary, IN is maybe my favorite random personal AEW moment. Another being the Mad King facing Akiyama. Imagine in the early/mid 2000s when Eddie and Bryan were making a name for themselves telling them all this would happen. Yes, even the watching from the phone part which had way older tech and couldn't compare to things now. They would have laughed and Eddie would have said "Yeah fucking right" (among other things) It'd be pretty surreal to think about at the time and now this happens way more often than it did before. It's a crazy ass time to be a wrestling fan. 5

Suzuki has been through the Forbidden Door so many times now that it’s just a regular door again. Bring in people from New Japan who’ve rarely been in AEW or not at all. I say this every time Suzuki or Ishii show up, but I’m so sick of those two in AEW. We’ve gotten two Tanahashi matches. One from Okada, Shingo and ZSJ. None from Naito, SANADA, Hiromu… and I know certain things kept some of those people from appearing, but still. Man, I rather see goddamn BISHAMON again over another Suzuki match in AEW. I feel dirty even saying that, yuck. 1
Log Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 Ok, but let's do Orange Cassidy vs. Suzuki before we stop having him in. 9

Maybe the next inter-promotional even should be Global Flood and AEW needs some kind of giant Ark. cut to: Nakajima wildly kicking MJF, Go Shiozaki vs Bryan Danielson II( or Danielson vs Marufuji 4?), Kenoh vs Jungle Boy in a handsome-off, Fujita vs Kingston, Yone vs Jarrett, Kiyomiya vs Omega, etc.

Is he on the ROH PPV, for that matter? He's got a match on the NJPW x Impact show on Thursday night vs KENTA Edited March 22, 2023 by Infinit 1
Casey Posted March 22, 2023 Posted March 22, 2023 TK just needs to do all the coke and somehow get NJPW, AJPW, NOAH, Stardom, TJPW and Impact to do a show with AEW & ROH. The crazy thing is that’s totally feasible most likely, except for Stardom and TJPW on the same show. I’d even go as far to say Stardom participating at all with anything AEW is far-fetched.

On the other hand, I would rather see Ishii and Suzuki in AEW again than, literally, any other two wrestlers in the world anyone could name. Nothng in wrestling would make me hapoier than to see both of them back in an AEW ring this year. And next year. And the year after that. 3 1

I think I'd actually love that. Jarrett would have no choice but to bump and sell, for once. Punk would somehow have to try to top Jericho's bloody chest. I'd mark out for everything except the likely finishes. And if Jarrett put Suzuki over clean I might finally change my mind about him. Edited March 22, 2023 by Gordlow 5

I'm near certain I read this was in the cards pre-COVID, but it's always possible that idea kind of evolved/mutated into becoming the Forbidden Door PPV

Craig H Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 LMAO this Meltzer shit about Punk agreeing to lose to Mox in that match where Punk hurts his foot and loses in a few minutes only for Punk to get a lawyer involved to say Punk wouldn't be losing until TK stepped in to work it out is the phoniest shit I've ever seen. It's about as fake as that Ryan Fredericks shit from some weeks back.
John from Cincinnati Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Punk responded on Instagram, and well... everyone in the Dynamite thread should go ahead and give up their "Punk as the BCC's fourth man!" pitches. 1

TheVileOne Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Whatever the situation actually was, I do put Tony Khan at fault for most of this. Hotshotting that Moxley vs. Punk match on TV like that was a mistake. I doubt Punk was healthy enough to be in the ring by that point. But Khan mismanaged this whole situation. 1
