Yeah the match is going to be fine and I understand the Covid issue for NJPW, but you don't have or let Moxley cut a promo name dropping Tanahashi and deliver me bread instead of a prime rib.
And again if Covid is going to be around like it seems don't tease shit that could be stopped in minute. Have Moxley feud with current AEW guy or what about an Impact guy instead of a guy that has to help his own company many many hours away.

Like... it's not AEW's fault COVID broke out with New Japan. No one could have planned for it effecting so much of New Japan's card that Tanahashi had to fill in. Moxley never even said the match would be happening at All Out. It was implied but like the match was never set in stone and now the narrative continues that Tana is ducking him. They're gonna fight. Hopefully when NJPW sorts itself out better.

Have Moxley talk about NJPW all he wants, but for THIS SHOW when the shit hit the fan they IN MY OPINION should've just gone with Mox vs AEW guy or another outside guy that would be maybe more pleasing than the this match with Kojima.

True they could have just went with an AEW opponent, but Moxley fighting a New Japan talent and it being off the basis that he sent that contract over to be signed by one specific person and it wasn't, I think is a fine narrative to build. I would have had Mox face Suzuki personally but I feel like Suzuki's gonna team with Archer to take on Men of the Year.

Also I like the narrative and bulid too, I just think they maybe could've just skipped it this PPV and ramp it right back up the next Dynamite. I don't think many would've been upset at that.

I can accept that. I mean it's whatever to me. I think the match will be fine for the PPV and be on the lower half of it just as well. I think it could be a sleeper match and I'm kinda happy Kojima gets this type of crowd? If it was saved for a Dynamite like Nagata was I would have bene fine with it too, but I don't think it necessarily hurts to put it on the PPV as another match that should deliver for the fans.

Yeah this show is definitely a step down from what I was hoping it to be. 2 rematches of matches we just saw, Kojima being Mox's opponent, Big Show wrestling QT. I'm sure the show will be great and I'm sure Christian vs Omega and Mox vs Kojima will be good but it definitely feels disappointing from what I originally expected. Omega/Christian having that first match actually sold me on their match at All Out. Like they clearly held back on Rampage while still delivering a great one. At least in terms of that rematch? It hyped me more for All Out as it being the alternative. It was a fantastic match no doubt. I'm just not a fan of running matches back so soon. I'm curious to see if this or the Punk match main events

Not really when you compare it to last years card which for most turned out to be the worst AEW PPV.

Meltzer reported that Moxley-Kojima was always the plan and the Tanahashi match was just being teased for a later time.

I guess it's nice that New Japan wasn't so strapped they had to yank Tana from the card? So Full Gear or Arthur Ashe then?

I'm gonna assume the BIG surprise is Bryan or Cole Other potential surprises: Flair. Ruby. Mercedes Martinez. Bronson Reed or Buddy Matthews would be my stretch pick. I know Matthews seems to be going to Impact but... they have a fluid relationship so who knows.

How upset will people be if Cole joins the Super Elite and helps The Bucks retain?

I still see him coming in as a foil to The Elite though... just for everything that's in their history. I feel like he might try and make a power play for The Bucks favor and kick Kenny to the curb

My take on the Moxley stuff is this. I LOVE Kojima. I'm thrilled he's getting a big match with Moxley and I'm sure it'll be great.
BUT... if you're not 100% you're delivering Tanahashi, don't tease Tanahashi! Same with the Page thing. I have faith we'll get both matches, but it teasing it hurts the programs in between.

Ok so remember how I said I'm not a big fan of rematches that happen so close to the previous matches? Well f*** that haha, I want Miro to just escape this match as champion and run it back at Arthur Ashe where Eddie can win. It would be a huge moment. Anyway, Punk/Darby aside this is now my most anticipated match. Let's go!
