AEW x NJPW - FORBIDDEN DOOR - 6/26/2022

[Sublime]

Okada vs Punk is something I've wanted since Punk made the twitter challenge months ago. 

Kingston/Taichi is a match I never knew I always wanted. The personality clash would work perfectly with the styles match, they would bring some AJPW flavor to the card.

Golden Lovers/FTR if possible would be fantastic but I truly am concerned about Ibushi's long term health at this point and wonder how his body is holding up.

If GL can't go than FTR vs GoD could be a good match up or if you want a more clear heel/face dynamic I would be cool with FTR vs Ishimori/ELP too.

Ishii vs Miro or Hobbs 

Yano vs OC is a must

I feel like BCC will be a multi man match (because I think NJPW wants to save Danielson singles for G1 and WK, and Mox to to an extent) and there are no wrong choices with Suzuki-Gun the best cause ZSJ but I'd take them vs White/KENTA/Bey or Goto/YOSHIHASHI/Trent(or other CHAOS member or Naito/Shingo/Bushi just not House of Torture (there is a wrong choice) the only House of Torture involvement I want is for Danhusen to meet EVIL in a backstage segment. 

Hiromu vs Darby would be so fast 

Tanahashi vs Page or Sting depending on if NJPW is willing to have Tana put Page over

Oh man, I just lost it picturing MJF coming out to challenge the best NJPW has to offer.

I don't keep up with NJPW.  Is "House of Torture" a real thing?  That sounds like on of those names they should have researched first to make sure there isn't a popular porn series with the same name, like when WWE had a group called "The Submission Sorority" for like 5 minutes.

Yeah, SOMEONE should do that, but there is NO way that term is ending up on my search history. But yes, sounds like a good idea to check in advance!

And more to the actual topic, I don't know enough about current NJPW to add my dream matches, but if they announce good enough stuff in advance, I'm likely to spread my sweet "not WWE Network" money around and get this one as well!

I have no dreams

Fuck yeah! Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada first please.

Who is the Mark Henry to Adam Cole’s Shawn Michaels when it comes to other people thinking we’re being disingenuous and don’t actually mean it when we actually do? JD Drake?

I’m sure there’s a contingent of fans that don’t watch the YouTube shows because they think most of the wrestlers on it must suck for not making Dynamite or Rampage, and that we’re maniacs for watching them and doing extensive write ups. Uncultured swine, the lot of em’. 

[AxB]

Yeah, there are. Quite a lot of AEW fans insist the YouTube shows don't exist/ don't count. Keep talking about how Ruby Soho got a big debut and has since vanished completely (she's actually had more matches in 2022 than any other woman in AEW).

So you're saying that since her debut, for many people, her destination has been... unknown?

So when she shows up as a #1 contender with a 10 match winning streak are they just baffled?

[John from Cincinnati]

If a tree falls in the woods on YouTube...

I don’t have any time for folks not giving out Worldwide points.

“Fakeass worked ranking system.”

[Matt D]

Plus, the webshows are just more fun to watch than Dynamite. Not so with Rampage though.

[(BP)]

Yes, you know what you’re in for and it’s never going to be a nine minute Jericho talking segment.

[The Natural]

The GOAT speaks.

[Sammo~!]

I want Bryan/ZSJ or some combination of BCC vs Suzuki Gun

Punk/Okada feels like it's gonna happen, barring that I'd love to see Punk/KENTA. 

Toru Yano/OC as a tag vs I dunno, the Ass Boys or the Acclaimed would be fun stooges for them 

Reunite Naito and Andrade as Los Ingobernables and have them do a fun tag.

I’d love to see Hook kill Yoshi-Hashi or Honma or Chase Owens. 

Oh screw that, let's have him fight Moxley and revisit his past life as a lawnmower running over a human head.

JESUS!

[Casey]

That’s the presale, general on sale to the public will be tomorrow but it’s almost guaranteed to be another sellout for them at the United Center. Which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, really. Chicago is basically their home territory at this point.

It’s also another reason why I think the rumors about All Out being in Toronto are true. Chicago gets this New Japan/AEW show, so some other city should get their big late summer/early fall PPV.

So some seats are still left,but still this is already a gigantic event without a single match announced.

[Kang]

14K setup, but more fans want to get in beyond that number. I guess they could open up more seats.
