gosh darn, after last night, the Forbidden Door card looks like it'll be the best money I'll have spent on pro wrestling in quite some time ($20, thanks VPN).
1. IWGP US Title: Kenny Omega (c) vs. Will Ospreay
2. Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada
3. AEW World Title: MJF (c) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi
4. IWGP World Heavyweight Title: Sanada (c) vs. Jungle Boy Jack Perry
5. Men's Owen Hart Cup First Round: CM Punk vs. Satoshi Kojima
6. Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta), Konosuke Takecrapa & Shota Umino vs. The Elite (Hangman Page, Nick Jackson, Matt Jackson), Eddie Kingston & Tomohiro Ishii
7. AEW International Title Four-Way: Orange Cassidy (c) vs. Zack Sabre Jr vs. Daniel Garcia vs. Katsuyori Shibata
8. AEW Women's World Title: Toni Storm (c) vs. Willow Nightingale
9. Sting, Darby Allin & ??? vs. Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara & Minoru Suzuki
10. Women's Owen Hart Cup First Round (pre-show): Athena vs. Billie Starkz
That's an all-timer card right there. I could have maybe gone for splitting up some of the guys in the International title match... ZSJ is the NJPW TV champ and Shibata is the ROH Pure champ, so seeing those titles defended on the PPV would have been nice, but that match will absolutely be a banger regardless. Lack of Samoa Joe & Jay White/Bullet Club Gold is a little disappointing, but we still have Collision on Saturday so maybe they'll be added in somewhere. I'd love to see Tetsuya Naito thrown on the card somewhere too but I doubt that'll happen, and I expect Shingo Takagi to be Sting & Darby's partner. Though, Naito COULD fit in there too, being a rival of Jericho and all.
Otherwise, they're doing a great job building to this show despite the fact that both companies have their own busy schedules on entirely different sides of the planet. It's also nice that the majority of the matches have either little stories, or full blown stories, which wasn't the case due to injuries last year. Pumped for this one.

Very excited for Forbidden Door. They found ways to get womens matches on there, which is dope. I'll have to watch it the next day though, I'm taking my daughter to a kpop concert Sunday night LOL. Bummer to miss the card (esp Omega/Ospreay 2) but the concert with kiddo will be absolutely worth it

If I watch it, it’ll be after it’s over. I’ll find a stream of it somewhere.
Dynamite was decent. I thought there was way too much happening all the time and nothing got much time to resonate. The wrestling wasn’t and never has been the problem, outside I think they do too much and they need to save the big stuff for PPV. I liked the opener, that was good. Surprised to see the Ass Boys win, but it was decent. I liked the concession stand brawl, but everyone that we thought would get involved did, and they wore disguises even though everything is legal? In AEW where just about everything is legal anyway? Not having the Elite on the show was a great move since they were in Chicago and I’m done with the Bucks anyway. They can disappear and I’d be cool with that. I still hate the whole enemies as partners thing WWE used to love to do, and it’s not any better here. Adam Cole and MJF haven’t done a damn thing to build each other or themselves up, so when one wins it doesn’t matter. Either a steroid guy beat up a skinny goof who gets hurt all the time, or the skinny goof beat a roided up meathead that he outsmarted along the way. Way to build it up. Liked Taya and Kris, but not sure how Kris is a baby face since she stole the TNT title from Jade in a Wrestlemania 9 carbon copy. The end segment rolled along nicely, though Wheeler Yuta is basically an interest killer. I have no desire to see him. I’m also a little surprised Moxley didn’t bleed somewhere in there. The Jericho and Sting story was nice, and I liked that six man tag match too.
Decent show, need to tighten up storylines.

I disagree with so, so much of that lol, but such is life.
I DO agree the episode was just alright though.

I'll likely try and catch a stream of Forbidden Door. For some reason I thought it was on Saturday night and I was going to miss it because I'll be at a concert.

I apparently need to watch Andrade vs. Matthews again. Everyone is saying it’s great and I didn’t care for it. Might be a me thing. I may have been distracted. I’ll give it another shot if it’s on demand on Sling.
Edit: the match was much better than my initial opinion of it. I was wrong. I can admit that. Sucks Sling doesn’t do the Picture in Picture thing and they just show ads instead.

I thought it was pretty great but I wasn’t blown away or anything.
I’d recommend you give the MJF vs Danielson Iron Man Match from Revolution 2023 a go sometime though. It’s one of my favorite Iron Man matches.

Lol that rules, is that you with the gorgeous shirt?
Also NAITO is Sting and Darby’s partner at Forbidden Door. Hype level just got even higher than I thought possible.

Yes that’s me with the gorgeous shirt haha. That’s what made Ron want to do that video. I was wholeheartedly for it too, it was great! Thank you for noticing! Got it at RSVLTS.com.

I should care about Forbidden Door. The card looks stacked. I couldn’t care less, though. None of it interests me. I think I watched way too much wrestling this week. I watched RAW, Dynamite, Smackdown and was in and out of Collision. I did also go to the con this weekend, so I’m probably burned out for the moment.
Also. Somehow, my video has like 1400 views. I have no idea how that happened lol.

Lol the Simmons effect
But yah I dunno, I’m pumped up for Forbidden Door personally. After last year, this is one of the shows I’ve been looking forward to all year. Sorta stinks that it’s on a Sunday night though, would’ve been nice to have a few pals over to watch.

That might be for the best for a show quality standpoint. I hope Adam Cole is OK. It’ll give some other matches extra time, though.

Yah that’s a shame, I especially feel for Lawlor who’s real good, but it’ll probably help the overall quality. Still 13 matches. Also hope Cole is ok, dude catches the worst luck when it comes to Forbidden Door.

I didn't get to see all of it but what I did see was good. Stream kept getting taken down (which I expected, but just hit refresh and a new one is up in about a minute) but Sunday nights are game time with my friend, so I knew I wouldn't get to see it all regardless.
I still have not heard anything about when the review embargo is up for the AEW game but I expect it to be tomorrow. Since I ended up not buying any merch at the Weezer concert (it was my first concert in a few years and wow merch is more expensive than I remembered, I don't recall a simple band t-shirt being $40 before) I might get in a last minute pre-order.

@PizzaTheHutt I saw a review on YouTube... but it was clearly an AI-generated voice reading the script so I have a feeling the person who posted it probably isn't any top tier gaming outlet or anything.
That said, it was clear that this person really did have the game and apparently really enjoys it, so that's cool. I guess the "Road to the Elite" mode is a standout, with branching stories depending on your wins and losses.

Alright, screw it. I just went and pre-ordered it from Best Buy. I'm hoping I will get it by release date, but from my past experiences usually I had to have placed the pre-order at least a week in advance to receive it on release date. Best Buy gave me two options for shipping. I can choose free shipping and get it by Thursday, or I can pay $7.98...and also get it by Thursday.
I still have Wrestling Empire and RetroMania on Switch unplayed, and Fire Pro on PS4 and Steam also unplayed, and still need to play through the second half of the original story modes in WWE 2K23. I'll at least do that last one before starting AEW, the rest can wait like they already have been.
