BCC's three partners for All In.

[yokohamacpfc]

Kayfabe, I'm not sure why anyone would give them the time of day if they asked for help but I suppose being on the card of the biggest show in company history is sufficient motivation, so who have we got?

- Japanese or Mexican talent they can borrow from other companies.

- British indie workers to give some talent a spotlight and maybe try out (feasible at a Dynamite but not a stadium show I think).

- Danielson and 2 others (maybe Hero and Nigel).

- Heel workhorses who TK wants to put on the card as a thank you for their unsung efforts (Hager, Spears, B&B).

- Debut from an newly signed talent.

- Reluctant faces (Keith Lee, Dustin, the newly face Sammy or maybe Hook, again on the card as a thank you).

- A free agent who the crowd would know. 

- Legend who would make the crowd pop (Big Show, Henry, Arn... not sure why they'd be on the heel team. I guess Big Show can turn a few times mid match for old times sake).

Any more for any more?

Someone said Santana and Ortiz, and it'd make total sense for Eddie Kingston, especially since he never resolved his issues with Ortiz

Other options are: Bryan if he's healthy enough, Chris Hero because even Khan said he was trying to get him back in ring, and longshot might be Nigel McGuinness

[The Ichi]

Suzuki's gotta be one surely.

Are Santana and Ortiz back on speaking terms? Last I heard they fell out hard.

Pretty sure Danielson’s going to be out for the foreseeable future.

Unsure, it's been a full year though

Danielson's likely out but it's a longshot, I still want Chris Hero so bad lol

Danielson broke his arm two months ago and is out, no way Nigel McGuinness is going to be stepping back into the ring considering his injury history.

[Some Guy]

Should probably point out that having a story where the BCC loses Blood & Guts because they had to grab random reinforcements that didn't work out only for them to have to do it again a month later for...some reason is flawed but eh whatever. Just give me Santana/Ortiz/Hero or Zack Sabre Jr or whatever.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Zack Sabre Jr isn't on the card yet, has history with Orange Cassidy, thematically makes sense with the BCC, and seems like an easy choice for AEW's UK debut.

Saw someone on Twitter point out that you could bring Haste and Nicholls with Sabre, do BCC/TMDK vs. Eddie/Best Friends/Lucha Bros.

Ummm.....

In a report from Fightful Select, it is stated that McGuinness has been “taking measures to try to return to the ring”. The report went on to say that whilst it isn’t known if the former ROH World Champion has even been cleared to wrestle, things are still looking as though he is readying up to compete.

In regards to the upcoming AEW All In show from Wembley Stadium, the report had this to say, “We can confirm that McGuinness was brought up in recent months as a possible competitor on the AEW All In card. However, we can’t confirm if there are plans in order for him to wrestle, or if it’s been broached internally by All Elite Wrestling.”

And a match like this could easily hide the rust/take the pressure off.

Anywhosits, Garcia could be interesting given the history between all involved, Shooter Umino is basically a BCC member already so he could slot in, and as was said ZSJ makes sense as well.

Well maybe if they stopped making so many enemies they wouldn't need to scramble for mercenaries all the time. But, nooooooo, they want to destroy cars and take masks because theyre real tuff guys /s.

It's what happens when you want to beat up the world.

Of course and you can do that occasionally as a reminder but two straight months of making that exact point? If they lose at least, though I suppose they can probably win here after losing at Forbidden Door and Blood & Guts.

That could be an interesting storyline they could go for. BCC keeps pissing everyone off by being so fight-happy that they just make a lot of enemies along the way.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

As I mentioned in the all in thread I’m all aboard the Santana/Ortiz/Nigel bandwagon

[lucaslawless]

Im not sure if he'll be in this match but I wouldnt rule out a Cardona appearance. I think Danielson is cleared - Final Countdown at Wembley!

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

To hazard a guess... Sabre Jr, Suzuki and Umino.

[HMARK Center]

Damn, there's a ton of potential options here, some more realistic than others.

Realistic options would probably include:
-Shota Umino
-Minoru Suzuki
-A cast-wearing Bryan Danielson (it's a gimmicked enough match he could probably avoid bad bumps)
-Someone who's been with AEW for a long time they want to give a big featured spot to on this card and who's good in a brawl, like Lance Archer
-Some kind of uneasy alliance with House of Black (bonus points for their history with the Lucha Brothers)
-A similar alliance with Zach Sabre Jr. and members of TMDK (though if it's Sabre by himself and you use Suzuki, too, that's a fun reunion of former RevPro tag champs)

Options I'd call "Not Unrealistic Fantasy Booking" would include:
-Chris Hero (Eddie would jack a double decker bus to try and run him and Claudio over)
-Santana and Ortiz
-Homicide (Mox brought him to Japan with NJPW recently)
-Someone from the indie cards happening that weekend, whether it's a New Japan guy like Shingo, KENTA, or even someone like Davey Boy Smith Jr. (obvious connection to his father, but if you use him and Archer you get a Killer Elite Squad reunion)

I can't see it being Nigel, only because that'd mean he's aligning with the same faction as that bloody clamdigger Danielson.

[eJm]

Sort of would depend on whose around that weekend, especially for the Rev Pro show, so considering ZSJ is wrestling the day before, he seems like a good shout.

Really like the PnP suggestion from people and they seem to be back together if the roster page is right so yeah, I’ll say them until a better idea comes around.

[Allie Kitsune]

I know it's not something you can do on the Biggest Show of All Time, but it'd be hilarious if they're so hated that they can't get ANYONE, so they have to turn to Luther, Serpentico, and Angelico.

[Super Duper Dragunov]

I'd like Suzuki, and ZSJ b/c narratively both make sense.

And then anyone else not the remaining TMDK. Nigel, man, that would be a f***ing amazing moment for him if he could pull it off and get cleared.
