'The Suzuki Incident'

[r.]

I vividly remember where I was, how could I or anyone forget?

Sitting on my couch, ready to belt out the theme when the music stopped, It felt more like time itself stopped, Everything stood still.

I...I...I'm sorry F.a.n

I can't relive it.

*Removes mic and walks out in tears*

I remember where I was. Sitting on my couch, watching Dynamite with friends. We had seen All Out, seen Suzuki appear that night, and we were all prepared for what was to come.

Then… it happened…

All of us, completely stunned. Unsure of what had happened, if what was going to happen. I remember one friend looked at me, shock and confusion on his face. Just, just mouthing the word “why?”

And I didn’t have an answer. I still don’t.

I was sitting at home watching Dynamite, and here I was all hyped up in anticipation for the Suzuki vs Mox match. This was a bout that had the makings of a barn burner.

His iconic music hits and out comes Suzuki. Everyone's pumped as he makes his way on the stage & down that ramp. Minoru f***ing Suzuki in AEW....who would have ever thought? At the time, it was such a surreal moment. Fans were about to be in for a real treat.

....but then he just gets in the ring, no chance for the crowd to sing along to "Kaze Ni Nare". At that moment in time, there was this look of utter befuddlement on my face....this look of disgust. I was appalled at the sheer disrespect shown towards Suzuki. This man is a legend for goodness sake! At least have the decency to show him the respect he deserves, and the gratitude for agreeing to grace you with his presence.

This is the Coronation Street of terrible decisions.

It's canon now:

I'm 1000% sure the guy who tweeted it first never intended for it to be now a part of storylines for the show he was ranting about but I guess that's Pro Wrestling in 2021 for you.

The magic of pro wrestling at its finest.

[Kalmia]

Wrestling fans suck sometimes, but they can also be awesome and the mocking tweets of this are definitely in the awesome category.

Garcia wants blood.

[Cyno]

I love that actual wrestlers are playing along with it now.

AEW are some of the greatest in the world at taking their own guffaws and turning them into gold.

This is good shit, man.

But still, AEW needs to set things right and apologize to Suzuki. They ain't getting off that easy.

Suzuki: So, how are you are going to make this right?

Tony: We'll give you MJF to maul.

MJF: The f***?!

All of this is amazing.

My favorite is the Vince McMahon one, it's so lifeless and sterile and full of WWE-speak that it's perfect.

[Lupin the Third]

I figured the "Suzuki Incident" was the aftermath of them cutting off Kaze Ni Nare.

You know, when Suzuki murdered half the production team for cutting off Kaze Ni Nare?

This is a perfect example of how a few fans can take wrestling way to seriously but also can find ways to make it so much fun.

[Dub H]

Even the official AEW twitter is now calling it "The Suzuki Incident"
