Who should he face at Forbidden Door?Keep in mind it has to be someone Tony doesn't care about jobbing out so MJF, Hangman, Swerve, Ospreay, and Okada are probably off the table.
>>19625223Rematch with Jungle Boy
>>19625223Tony doesn't care that much about keeping guys safe in IWGP matches so most guys should be on the table. I feel like Okada vs Tsuji should happen sooner or later, could be saved for a big Japan show though.
>>19625223Nobody

Takeshita getting his win back, of course.Stop expecting good things. Yes, this WK was pretty good. But look at the schedule. G1 tour starts in America? It's another year of tranny slop.
Tony should put this edrone on the pre-show against aaron solo
Considering Tsuji shits on AEW you either need an AEW wrestler who prods Tsuji enough to get Tsuji to take the bait and have a match at Forbidden Door or it has to be a wrestler like Okada that Tsuji wants to pin to solidify his status as the future of New Japan. Otherwise Tsuji is just going to suffer the Gabe Kidd issue of shitting on AEW just to appear there right after.
>>19625388You can't have that story because AEW are bitchmade. They're not gonna have the Forbidden Door story be the IWGP champion coming in shitting on the AEW partnership and then beating someone from AEW and leaving off into the sunset.If you're a NJPW fan, the ideal is Tsuji doesn't show up at all and they don't even talk about it. It's not like it'd be that off character for them. Last year's already barely felt different from any other PPV AEW has.
>>19625223>tfw you never plan on doing Forbidden Door because Tony stole the trademark from Tanahashi
NJPW was barely featured during the last FB. my guess is, he'll be stuck in some meaningless tag with Rocky Romeo
>>19625508They dont have the roster for it. At this point CMLL is more enticing. They also have the Stardom partnership.
>>19625515the stardom partnership is even deader. thankfully stardom is doing exceptionally and don't seem to need it.
>>19625524The NJPW Stardom partnership is obviously not dead and has never been less dead.
>>19625524It always lands on a day that Stardom has a show unfortunately though Syuri is IWGP champion so she will definitely be part of it this year.
>>19625524Stardom will send the bare minimum to keep Bushiroad happy and in turn Tony Khan happy but they're clearly not interested in participating with AEW beyond that.
>>19625531He’s saying the AEW-Stardom partnership is dead
>>19625223This will be the year of a dual title swap.He will bring back v4 and lose it to Okada at FDI don’t think MJF will be champ by then.Either way, someone is losing the AEW title to someone at forbidden door. I wish Naito wasn’t broken because him becoming AEW champion and treating it like shit in Japan for before Darby rescues it back would be Kino.That being said, it makes sense for Kenny, Ospreay, or Jay White to be the AEW talent who has to drop to someone from NJPW
>>19625760NO FOR FUCK'S SAKELEAVE US ALONE, TRANNYWE DON'T WANT YOUR SHIT BELT
>>19625780That part
>>19625780I know No one does.But this is the only dynamic left for this event. It’s gonna happen eventually
>>19625952There's no need for new dynamics when the show is already not about NJPW to begin with. It's just another AEW PPV with the Forbidden Door name.
Josh Alexander. He'll get a lot of wins on ROH to build him up for it.
>>19625388That would be pretty cool for once, and right up NJPW's alley as far stories are concerned. Make him into a heel who's known for constantly shitting on the company then put him into a good match where he's caught off guard and is nearly beaten. I wouldn't be against a match between a cocky Tsuji and a fired up Darby with a chip on his shoulder. Might actually get some heat on Forbidden Door for once.
Eddie Kingston backslappin this fool would be kino and also good revenge for that NJPW shitter Gabe kidd injuring him
>>19625223>Thinking he'll still be champ at Forbidden DoorLmao. Kek, even.
>>19625760Kenny is getting the AEW title then doing a "handing the torch" match to Ospreay at All In.
>>19625223Daniel Garcia will beat him
>>19625760Reminder they had the perfect opportunity to put the AEW title on Tanahashi a few years ago and for some reason just didn't do it. Even though the end result would have been the exact same (Punk with the belt then getting suspended)
