AEWxNJPW - Forbidden Door United Centre Chicago, June 27th 9:00 AEST

[Shade]

Best wrestler in the world he will kill it over here, just hopefully does not get lost in the shuffle but his in ring work is second to none and will have some banger matches that is for sure.

Yes but I like my wrestlers to have personality and character which he offers very little in that department.

#DaParty no chance of an UpUpDownDown reunion :sadface


Glad Claudio is back on TV full stop.

AEW is def a better fit for him though with his style.

So do I but if you watched anything with Da Party he is completely different than he was portrayed on TV. He will thrive in AEW. Now that is a signing that has my interest.

 

[mickelboy182]

They are all getting huge pops its a nerd crowd.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Chicago crowds always kill it.

100%.

Their stuff has been the most enjoyable WWE stuff I've watched in the last few years. I didn't think watching 4 wrestlers playing UNO would be entertaining but it was awesome.

Same goes for Tyler Breeze too.

Hope AEW keep the momentum going with him and not drop it like they have with signings outside of Punk.

 

[Nicho50]

AEW always put on great PPVS its the TV that lets them down , this was always going to be a great event in ring wise but unfortunately for them it doesn't get the hype that WWE does with its same same booking.

Claudio is a perfect signing the guy can go and go at the top level, the other signings of recent times like Lee, Murphy, Andrade, Swerve, Hardy etc all mid card at best so the hype was unwarranted and just added to a bulging roster but Black , Pac and Miro were great signings. Working with Danielson, Moxley etc is a lot different to the stuff Keith Lee is in for example. I have confidence they will handle him well they have the story with Eddie Kingston that is there right in front of them.

Cole looks so out of place it isn't funny

 

[Shade]

Man that was a flat ending.

They didn't even let Okada hit a rainmaker.

 

[Senor M]

What was with that finish?

A botch or could AEW/NJPW not agree on something more satisfying than that mess

 

[mickelboy182]

Missed the four way due to a meeting, sounds like the flat point of the night? Bummer.

 

[Nicho50]

Honestly between AEW and WWE this year we have been spoiled by the standard of PPVS. The TV across both has been such lower quality but most PPVS even the "low key " WWE PPVs have been very good.

The match minus the finish was great.

It looked like Cole was legit injured

 

[MadMundy]

Who's this Claudio guy? Never seen him before in my life.

 

[Quivorir]

Adam Cole looks like a bitch coming out of that. Wtf.

 

[Shade]

It looked like Cole was legit injured

He was injured already going in to the show booker of the year inserted him in it anyway and the finish was terrible.

 

[mickelboy182]

Tana turned Mox heel for a minute there wowee

 

[Ry009]

Hopefully sniffing a surprise show up, otherwise not sure this should have ended the PPV.

It's not AEW if the show doesn't end in a chaotic brawl

 

[mickelboy182]

Bit of a strange way to close it for sure.

Great show from top to bottom of what I watched, looking forward to watching the matches I missed tonight.

 

[Nicho50]

Pretty hard for the matches that followed Claudio the pop and buzz he created was huge.

 

[Ry009]

Bit of a strange way to close it for sure.

Great show from top to bottom of what I watched, looking forward to watching the matches I missed tonight.

I missed most of the PPV due to work and I also questioned the validity of the event with so many outs. But I enjoyed it for the celebration of professional wrestling and the matches themselves without worrying about storylines.

Don't know much about Okada, but the guy looks like a certified superstar that would be successful in any promotion in the world.

As much as I criticise AEW, they made Claudio look a million bucks tonight.

Crowd always makes a show and they were great tonight. Really great energy.

 

[Nicho50]

Great to see Claudio clean house at the end and the interaction between Kingston and He was great.

 

[Shade]

I will say for someone who despises OC and the entire gimmick his match against Ospreay was somewhat enjoyable.
