Last big NJPW show just happened, with Forbidden Door implications:

  • As expected, Tanahashi won, so he’ll be fighting Moxley.
  • ZSJ challenged Bryan Danielson at the event, so looks like we’re getting every pundit’s wet dream match.
  • O-Khan and Cobb won the tag titles. I’m guessing they’ll be facing FTR.
  • Okada lost the IWGP belt to Jay White. I’m guessing they’ll do Hangman/Jay. No idea what they’ll do with Okada. LOL if they have him face Adam Cole.
  • G1 entrants announced. They’ve expanded the field to 28 in 4 blocks of 7. Not sure how I feel about that. Only AEW guy is Lance Archer, who got a massive pop on the announcement.

Jay Whites backstage promo is worth watching. Sorry for the reddit link.

Okada was rumored for some time off soon, they might just leave him off with absolutely nobody that makes any sense to fight for him as crazy as that sounds

1453

I guess anything’s possible, but man I’d be floored if Okada wasn’t a part of this event, even if it’s in a tag or 6-man.

I know next to nothing about NJPW, but the sporadic appearances by Japanese wrestlers on AEW are usually great, so I’m very excited for this event.

Probably not going to get that sweet JE/Young Bucks/Hardys ladder match on Wednesday.

1456

Yikes, 3rd time in under 10 years?

1457

After the last Hardy Boys match, I never want to see peg leg Matt or constantly concussed Jeff ever wrestle again. Put them out to pasture.

1458

Jesus.

sad that Jeff Hardy hasn’t changed but he’s got to want it or it won’t regardless of what anyone else does

1460

Jesus isnt .3 pretty close to unconsciousness?

1461

Not if you are a career alcoholic like Jeff.

Looks like they might be switching out the ladder match for this. And damn that’s a lot of travel time for Ospreay.

this might be the first time in wrestling history (well at least in a long time I figure) that two guys with belts from two different companies are wrestling and neither belt is from the company they are wrestling on.

Not great Vince!

The first email, sent to board members on March 30, alleged that Mr. McMahon, 76 years old, initially hired the woman at a salary of $100,000 but increased it to $200,000 after beginning a sexual relationship with her. The email to the board also alleged that Mr. McMahon “gave her like a toy” to Mr. Laurinaitis.

Excuse me what the fuck

1466

Matt Hughes looked very not okay there.

EDIT: Apparently Hughes got hit by a train 5 years ago. And Woodley lost to Jake Paul twice. Not the best guys to send out there.

1467

This match should be outstanding.

1468

What the actual fuck was that?
