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

[Tres Leches]

Only dropped Two singles but already a guaranteed classic

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

I wanted Bryan/Shibata

But LETS fukkING GO

 

[Hey_zeus]

Hype

 

[White City Black]

Best Bout Machine taking the L tho

I know some folks already down about Omega-Osperay II being at FD and not All In in London

I’m saying tho…we can’t have a rubber match? Sounds like a made trilogy especially if Will gets the W this time. Let a third match at All In bring it to a close

 

[The Rainmaker]

A true once in a lifetime match, brehs That desert line was so cold.

 

[Mr. Manhattan]

Okada vs Danielson
Its finally here

A true once in a lifetime match, brehs

I'm trying to find comps and failing to come up with many. Pre 90's it was commin practice with the NWA and so many other wrestlers working tours for both All Japan and New Japan.

It's been so long since this kind of match has been booked.

The closest thing I can come up with would be if 97' Bret vs 97' Misawa (to redeem that boring ass Tiger Mask II match) or 98' Bret vs 98' Kobashi were booked. And even in those cases the clash of styles is way bigger than Dragon and Okada

I Vader facing off against every single top Japanese star Is the most recent comp?


Edit: Joe vs Kobashi...though that shyt was an extended squash given the difference in status at that point in their carrera.

Ospreay gonna get some HEAT bruv

Man going to square up with a moose at this rate.

 

[Wolfpac]

Ospreay gonna get some HEAT bruv

He might fukk around and get as much heat as Rock did when he shyt on the Maple Leafs.

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

Who going to have more heat in Canada: Don Callis or Will Ospreay?

 

[TheNatureBoy]

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.

 

[Reality Check]

Forbidden door 2 already event of the year

Okada vs Danielson is gonna be crazy

Meltzer is gonna unload the clip with stars after stars
