AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door 2023
 

I can’t see the original post, but the answer is Loose Cannon.

Not very pumped for this show. I tell myself that I’ll watch Okada/Danielson, but I probably won’t.

So many matches. Not many of them particularly interesting.

how long you think it will be 5 hours

Can't believe Filthy Tom Lawlor and TJP are a part of this card.

just saw Adam Cole isn't cleared.

Illness. Damn. Sucks.

That sucks for both of them. Cole because it’s yet another issue with him at Forbidden Door, Lawlor because this would’ve a great showcase for him on a US PPV.

Roddy Strong would be a great replacement opponent but I assume that would’ve been announced if it were happening. Card is long enough as is.

I assume we’ll get Cole/Lawlor on Dynamite soon.

just got an illness now?

i knew he had a big case of the bores for years now.

Dope.

This card doesn’t need to be any longer. Just scrap Lawlor/Cole, have Lawlor take the forfeit win and brag about it.

Worried about Cole.

I think you’re looking at 180 mins of ring time without the pre-show or Cole/Lawlor. It’s just too much if you stretch it out any longer.

Prob Flu. Seems to be going around early, especially in the Jacksonville area. Know quite a few people with pretty nasty cases of it right now.

This Zero Hour card is pretty tits. Shingo and Takahashi on the pre show is nuts. Weren’t they supposed to be the future of New Japan just a year or two ago

I'm surprised that Mr. Nerfect is considering the length of the PPV since he usually gives his in-depth analysis after skimming through highlights. This is quite the development.

There's def a couple matches I am excited to see here but most of this card feels thoroughly "meh".

Danielson/Omega, Omega/Ospreay, MJF/Tanahashi and I guess maybe the 4 way for the international title and BCC/Elite.

Actually no on the BCC/Elite. Its just gonna be unneccesary blading and setting up stupid spots.

To be fair, we're incredibly spoiled. This card is more than incredible. I for one feel quite eager.

Danielson Okada could be the greatest match of all time
Omega Ospreay could be a 5 star match if you’re into their brand of wrestling (I am)
Was looking forward to MJF Tanahashi until I saw how busted Tanahashi looked against Swerve
Punk Kojima should be very good if Punk is working heel
The Int’l title match should be tons of fun
JAS vs Sting Darby and Naito. Let’s go
Still mad at Jungle Boy being Sanada’s jobber. Wish it were Joe, Jarrett, or Christian

Yeah Tana feels like he’s at New Japan dad stage

That said the crowd will be shit hot for him and he and MJF can tell a real good story so I think it’ll still work

Fun opener.

God damn Athena…

Billie…you don’t need to be doing top-rope back bumps onto the ring apron.

Hey look it's knock off Logan Paul

Lol remember when everyone thought Vincent and Dutch were gonna come in to be in a stable with Bray Wyatt and that Vincent was Uncle Howdy

ok this is weird....is El Phantasmo the long lost Paul brother? The resemblance really is striking.

Pogan Laul wins his AEW debut.

I love how the most basic human psychology has worked on MJF numerous times

If Daffy Duck were a wrestler

Tony sent the Navy out tonight to try and protect his kingdom from us privateers. I bid ye good luck, landlubber.

Lotta look alikes tonight. This ref looks like HBaldK.

Tanahashi has Matt Hardy leg. Not great.

Can't find a decent stream.

Nice psychology in MJF/Tana. Tana's beaten down to hell but it worked for MJF.

Damb @ CM Punk

lolol listen to that reaction

I always like the Japanese announcer adding an extra syllable to stretch out the name for the gaijins

"M-J-FEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH"

"C.M. PUNKEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH"

Inject heel Punk into my veins

YE CAN KEEP TRYING TO SINK ME SHIP TONY BUT I'LL SWITCH SERVERS UNTIL IM SLEEPIN IN DAVY JONES BITLOCKER YAHAAARRRRRR
