AEW x NJPW : Forbidden Door - June 26th, 2022

[Marty McFourth]

Mox finally gets Tana.

I’m so jealous that Jeff gets to see this live but I’m excited for him at the same time.

This was like the perfect replacement match for me. I was super excited for Punk vs Tanahashi but Mox has been dying to get his hands on him.

Going to be a really hot match with a great atmosphere and I think think Mox is putting on some of his best work lately. So I'm happy with the choice.

I could see ospreay vs darby

Imagining this gives me chills with how their styles would connect. The pace would be nuts.

Why Moxley vs Tanahashi wasn't the original plan still astounds me tbh it's literally been built towards for a moment like this for years. The wrestling gods may have injured Punk bc Tony tried to go against their will

Bryan Danielson on His Pick for The Forbidden Door Opponent

“I would love to wrestle Okada. But in the back of my mind, I’m thinking about Zack Sabre Jr. and wrestling him to see who is the best technical wrestler in the world.”

Either would be sick.

 

[Chris]

I just realized it's crazy how the "Forbidden Door" term was coined by Tanahashi in his feud with Jericho where if Tanahashi won he'd get a shot at the AEW title on AEW programming.....and here we are with Tanahashi getting a title shot on AEW programming

After, Jay's promo and comments after Dominion and seeing his character now. I would like to see a match between him and PAC. I know, that isn't the popular idea for Jay if he does have a match at Forbidden Door, but given their character arc and similarities. I think, it'd be a entertaining match and the promos between the two would be great.

They would be great, but I am 100% expecting Jay vs Page, and maybe Cole to make it a 3 way if he is cleared. Honestly while I think Adam Cole is a bit overhated, I still rather have it one on one, Page v White. I remember they first faced at the same NJPW show in the US where the Bucks had a fucking banger against the Golden Lovers, and it was okay, but neither of them were fully polished. Now though, much better with an ultimate heel vs ultimate face.

Hangman vs White and Cole vs Okada is what I'm seeing the twitterverse wanting

That is the obvious pick and one I am sure majority of people would be happy with me, and that is fine. I agree that now that White and Page are more polished and established that could easily put a 5* if not higher match. Again, either way is fine as Jay versus PAC is just more a fantasy for myself.

Twitter is the same place that would want those matches and then complain about them in the same breath, lol.

I'd take it simply to see Adam Cole flip from selling a Rainmaker

[Canadian Dragon]
