Forbidden Door 10 Man Tag Match Appreciation Thread

[clifford]

Yeah, so, holy shit, that might be the best multi-man tag match in a year littered with amazing ones.

I liked this better than Anarchy in the Arena myself.

Just an incredible 20 plus minutes of action that never slowed down and never outstayed its welcome, with an insanely hot crowd and 10 dudes who brought everything. Takeshita was the MVP for me, that dude is going to the top.

I had a stupid grin across my face the entire match. Enjoyed the hell out of it.

I think it was shocking Ishii got the pin but it turns out Danielson vs Ishii was gonna be penciled in for Dynamite before Danielson's injury

It was cool seeing him go over, and also hilarious seeing Shota seem to out of place but eager to please his "Dad"

Konosuke had the biggest star making performance, that forearm that knocked Ishii flat on his ass popped me to the moon

Also Eddie Kingston is a god damn megastar.

I loved that Takeshita was portrayed as a top guy here. He could main event a PPV in the next year.

The standards in AEW for a top end multi-man chaos match on PPV are massive at this point and this match still overdelivered big time.

Loved the Mox v Eddie stuff in this match. Eddie’s performance in a storyline sense was great.

Would have had Takeshita get the winning pin but hey.

[King Devitt]

Takeshita got so much love in this match, and I'm glad.

Eddie taking the shot for Mox was another great wrinkle to their story.

Really fun match, surprised at who won, not surprised at who took the fall.

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

AEW has incredibly high standards for multi-man matches and this one still exceeded them.

[Bang Bang Bart]

Takeshita and Ishii’s showdown, then Takeshita KOing Ishii a bit later in the match were my standouts of a fantastic multiman tag match.

[Convoy]

If Bryan is out, guess they’ll just have to give us Ishii/Takeshita on Wednesday.

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

It was like a 3 ring circus. You had strong style strike exchanges going on in the ring, while the Young Bucks are flying around off to the side. Eddie Kingston bringing the emotion to it all like almost no one else can - he makes you believe.

Great stuff.

Takeshita is just fantastic.

Ishii getting the win was a surprise but a welcome one as a big Ishii fan.

Bucks & Hangmans reaction to Ishii getting clobered was great too. Made me think it was a shoot at first.

Eddie’s a f***ing idiot, but aside from that, phenomenal match. Felt like everyone going to war. Ishii getting the win was the cherry on top.

Came here to say this. What a buffoon!

[DrBackflipsHoffman]

loved that shot when Eddie and Mox both got tagged in, the weird ring level panning from like really really far away? felt like 80s WWF for a moment

[Go 2 Sleeeeeeeeeep!]

Takeshita's heel turn is doing wonders for that kid. He's going to get 1000x times better than he already is (which is really really good).

[Some Baritone guy IS REDEEMED!]

The way this match was worked there's got to be an epic final showdown between Mox and Kingston. And there's only one match I can think of to play off their history in AEW: Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch!

... Hopefully with fewer sparklers this time.
