Goddammit this would have been much better than Orange Cassidy.

appears that was stopped by AAA (the ones AEW has are all AAA wrestlers), since NJPW works with CMLL and CMLL/AAA have huge beef (from some old thing I only have a vague understanding cause I sure as heck don’t follow those). (AAA works with NOAH)

not every door is open in the wrestling world

Last Dynamite had the worst ratings in the key 18-49 demo of the year, and worst since last October.

I think people besides hardcores aren’t digging this Forbidden Door build and the Battle Royale clusterfuck and no Punk or MJF is a big factor too.

Hopefully this makes Khan realize that MJF is insanely valuable to the company and he bumps up his contract effective immediately. This is assuming the angle is at least somewhat a shoot (which I think it is, but to what degree, who knows)

So looks like we are getting Okada. Four way for the IWGP title? I don’t completely hate that idea.

LOL what in gods name was that ending

Seems like a big mess, but there are still some components that are interesting, and lots of talent so it will still be a good card I think. But as someone who doesn’t like multiway singles matches or huge tag matches, especially with randos shoehorned together, it’s hard to be super excited about this.

this card is indeed a huge disjointed mess, though I can’t imagine ppv buys will be anything but sub par.

Tony Khan is the Stephen King of wrestling.

Goddammit.

For fuck’s sake just do the show tonight before the whole lineup gets injured.

I know the build hasn’t been great for this event, and the number of injuries is disappointing, but I’m still pretty excited for this show.

This has been great so far.

I hope we’re getting worked by FTR or this PPV is cursed.

Leaning towards not a work. He might have just had his shoulder popped back in.

This match really didn’t need tables.
