Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted July 1 Paid Members Share Posted July 1 Only watched hour 1 and the main event so far. The main event was superb, elevating Swerve and keeping Will hot. But as always: Never let her lose the titleĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted July 1 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 1 Watching that ladder match it's pretty clear that if they just ditched Don Callis and had Takeshita as a babyface going around murdering fools wherever he went he'd be an absolutely huge star for them.

I don't know about you Merzy but I get the feeling that Takeshita is going to be a main event player, just not in AEW. He is going to be the man in New Japan at some point isn't he, unless they have some sort of "Reverse Albert" situation where Takeshita is only considered "Good in the USA' by the New Japan higher ups.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted July 1 Paid Members Share Posted July 1 Having now caught up with the whole show my moaning about do we still need Forbidden Door every year seemed redundant. None of the matches disappointed, very happy with the results, another knockout PPV. Intrigued by the new January show in Japan. Wonder if they will go all the way and tape Dynamite out there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji sized pile of yen into Takeshita's front yard to persuade him to decide he fancies moving home, as soon as they can.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm trying to imagine a statue of Mr Fuji made out of Yen ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they will go all the way and tape Dynamite out there as well. I hope so, big fan of the Japanese Ring Announcer, bring him in full time to AEW. Swerve and Ospreay, that was just brilliant. Swerve has risen to the challenge of being World Champ, and Ospreay is probably the best wrestler in the world. Absolute magic. Echoing the love for Takeshita, Blue Thunder Bomb on Phantasmo was awesome, and I'm all in for a Takeshita having a great G1 and then coming back to be a Main Eventer.

Snitsky's back acne Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I'm glad that Okada didn't go to WWE where they would have turned him into a Tozawa-esque goof.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JLM Posted July 1 Paid Members Share Posted July 1 (edited) I do not believe thatĀ WWE would have done anything of the sort to Okada. Unless I've missed Okada being a comedy jobber and being eaten by a shark, AEW haven't done that to Okada either. I'm glad nobody's done that to Okada. I'm glad AEW have let Okada show the world how funny he can be as well. It's good to be glad about things.Ā Edited July 1 by JLM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
