Pretty sure Danielson's replacement is going to be the one true Ace of New Japan, Toru Yano.

Andrade vs Fenix is a dream match for me. Been waiting for years for them to wrestle. Should be excellent.

Christian’s promo was too long but I liked the gist of it; him being pissed he missed a big pay day, jumping on the up and comer’s coattails, and jumping off when the gravy train made its last stop. The Luchasaurus thing was interesting too.
Excited for Okada. I get the annoyance of the multi man match but given how many guys are hurt, I’m ok with it. He’s still in a title match, and they threw Adam Cole in there hopefully to eat the pin. Tana looks slower than I remember. But I think him and Mox will do fine. And I think the ace is gonna win the belt for some reason. I want Malakai to win gold dammit. |

The whole Okada showing up the show before the PPV was weird. Can only imagine they were hoping to get Danielson cleared.

Pretty sure they had Danielson slotted to face Sabre Jr.
Okada's participation was always questionable due to his wife being pregnant. |

I imagine the plan was Danielson vs. ZSJ, but when Danielson wasn’t cleared they have begged Okada to come in as a make-good.

I hope it’s an elimination match and Okada beats Cole, Page and White into oblivion. He can pin them all.
Also, Okada should be Danielson’s pick to face ZSJ. Make it a night of Okada. Then Okada wins the G1 and chooses to go against Danielson in the Tokyo Dome. The New Japan guys can get upset Okada looked past them and you’ve got stories set up for when Okada is cemented. |

They’re probably going to pay Claudio out the ass to come in and wrestle ZSJ. Unless they can get some other technical wizard, like Biff Busick to randomly come in. From the existent AEW roster, Samoa Joe or Jonathan Gresham makes sense from their side. I’d go with Joe against ZSJ, personally.
But I’d seriously try and go with the idea of Okada winning the World Title back, winning the G1 and going against Danielson. The rest of the card could look like: * Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kota Ibushi - the loyalist vs. the renegade * Tetsuya Naito vs. Shingo Takagi - LIJ clashes * Will Ospreay vs. Jon Moxley - IWGP US Title * Jay White challenging for the All-Atlantic Championship * FTR vs. Dangerous Tekkers - IWGP Tag Team Championship |

Did the really announce a match as Sting, Darby, and two other guys and the two other guys are Shingo and Takahashi?
I don’t even watch that much NJPW but even I know who those two are |

It’s been shit. Partly due to being so close to happening after they just had a ppv and partly because it feels like they had no idea what talent was gonna be available.
Next year they should just turn it into a New Japan v AEW cup type of deal. |

The pop for Okada was impressive. As someone wihout a lot of background in NJPW that took me by surprise despite my own excitement.
OC vs. Osprey will be a banger! Get Adam Cole off my screen. I think AEW missed a trick not profiling the NJPW guys a bit more pre there debuts. |

Oh and TK needs to learn when a squash is ok. No offence to the guy Hangman faced but put a jobber out there, let Hangman decimate him and get on with the segment.

I have not heard of too many people who are enjoying this build, but you do have to remember that this is almost definitely deliberate. It’s so everyone can rise to the occasion and knock everyone’s socks off at the PPV.

This is a problem. Tony is a nerd for ROH guys like Silas Young. He see's value in him because Tony is a big ole rasslin nerd. He probably thinks Silas Young should be ROH champion or something.
