[6.25.23] AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door II - Bryan vs Okada, Omega vs Ospreay II [Full Card Announced]

[Cattle Mutilation]

As someone who doesn't watch NJPW, Okada is one of the few names I know and remember being impressed by.

If WBDiscovery was in a better place financially, wonder if they could have dropped the bag to get AEW ppvs on HBO Max a la WWE with Peacock. They only do like 5 or 6 a year, so would be less money you would think.

They should just tell AEW they need to do more sponsorships, and these glorified during-broadcast ads, to offset the revenue loss. Surely there has to be value for someone other than Draft Kings to have their logo on the ring with with the commentators reading off some scripted BS they want read, especially on the weekly TV since they get 800-900K+ viewers.

Is it lame and I fukking hate it? Yes, absolutely, but it's a lot of money. If they even got like 25% of what WWE got for stuff like that, it would make up a big chunk of PPV money for just one or two of those deals.

Meltzer is gonna unload the clip with stars after stars

He'd bust out an 8-star rating if this was in the Tokyo Dome

I'm sure Excalibur could rattle off a bunch quickly . I imagine they do around 100K -200K for buys maybe, so the check wouldn't have to be that huge.

Hopefully Time Bomb Hiromu can make it on the card this year

They got my money


I wouldn't be mad if they give this PPV 4 hours so that the matches can get enough time cause I need at least 30-45 for BD/Okada and Kenny/Ospreay

100K US buys is 5 million. ANd Since Bleacher Report is owned by WBD, all the money goes to WBD and AEW.

That’s why wheeler Utah is in the BCC to take all the hits while Danielson prepares for okada

Taking all the hits and claiming the pins. Who’s next?

 

[MenacingMonk]

Hopefully Time Bomb Hiromu can make it on the card this year

Time Bomb vs Sammy. Too bad Fenix can’t be booked.

 

[DaylitoJames]

between this and clowning Nigel at the DoN press conference...now I wanna see him address Punk to see what he says to him

 

[MushroomX]

Meltzer is gonna unload the clip with stars after stars

But which match will he give more stars to?

 

[Jmare007]

But which match will he give more stars to?

The one with more high spots and near falls, so Ospreay vs Omega

[krackdagawd]

The one with more high spots and near falls, so Ospreay vs Omega

Give Omega or Ospreay the Danielson award
