So far it is looking really good

It's pretty much just an AEW ppv! According to wiki Tanahasi (sp) will have a match but it's only 2 dynamites until the show now so not sure what they are going to do

Well they have a 4-Way (I think) for the TBS title going with international participants and I have the feeling we gonna see something similar for the TNT title too.

They always throw some in relatively shortly over the last couple of weeks of build, so there will be more Forbidden Doorness to see, I'm sure

I think like last year, NJPW is colder so that limits "dream matches" and it becomes more just an AEW and friends supershow, this year especially is more UK centric it seems. As far as tanahashi goes, I assume it'll be Takeshita for his match but if not it'll be built with the G1 so that's why it's being announced so late

Gabe Kidd would've been on the card for fucking sure too... Having Tanahashi's last UK match, or as what they have build it when they announced it, is a good match to have on such a card. Takeshita as his opponent seems like the obvious choice there.

Maybe this would've been a good opportunity to do something with some UK/European promotions though.

Maybe they should've brought in 6-7 Women to face Mercedes for all her belts... 7 falls, each fall is for a different title.

:uhoh

Is that contract MJF has a money in the bank style one or just a match contract?

I'm hoping he will be there and assumed he would have a match with Mistico but I can see him getting involved in the Hurts tag match in some way (assuming he travels)

It's like MITB. Christian Cage "cashed" his in during the final stretch of the Cope/Mox Main Event at this year's Revolution for example.

I get the feeling we gonna see some fuckery about that soon though... since they have to sign it, I'm sure they'll do something like someone else showing up, disrupting the situation and putting their name on it instead at some point. Probably not this time, but maybe next year or so.

Depending on what their long time plan is here, I can also see them pulling of something like MJF intentionally losing via DQ to Hangman, after he gets frustrated by the fact he can't put him down for the count, just to sign the contract afterwards to capitalize from that... I think that would suit his gimmick.

I doubt they will do that, but them running the same "Heel doesn't want/will not sign the contract, but wants (and gets) a title match anyways" with both those contracts at the same time is just meh... especially if they don't end up doing something more special with either of them.

Are you talking US time or UK time? They apparently changed the time to 4 pm (UK time):



Apparently the show is set to start 1pm ET... that would be 6pm UK, I guess? Main Card probably starts 7pm (UK time) then.

That's definitely frustrating, yea :hmm:

All I can find is a starting time of 6pm BST which should definitely be Zero Hour.
