Shibata is involved in like three current storylines, BCC, he had a segment with O'Reily, and is now here on HOOK's behalf He'll be ok, he just got a big win this past week with BCC, I get everything by association with Jericho just sucks for people not but this isn't the only thing he's doing. Nobody besides Moxley has been able to escape the Jericho vortex clean in years. Idk what else Shibata can do here outside of being the third man so idk Again I get people are sick of Jericho but the match should be fun, a lot of moving parts.

He'd be a far, far better guy to mentor Hook in kayfabe given their styles and the fact that he is a trainer who has trained guys similar to Hook in the past, so there is that. But given the unreal levels of power/leeway Tony gives to Jericho (which genuinely at this point is worse than his Punk obsession), I don't see that happening any time soon.

I think Shibata has probably taken a liking to HOOK. He’s one of those guys Tony adores so I expect he gets to call his own shots with who he works with or gets to shoot down any names he doesn’t want to work with. He’s tagged with HOOK before and wouldn’t shock me if he wants to work a match with him. He’d be a perfect test for HOOK at Dynasty - hell they can easily set it up by having Jericho tell Shibata he needs to experience being across the ring from him the same way he did after tagging with him. They like to make a big deal out of HOOK’s “firsts” so his first true one on one PPV match being against Shibata is big enough. Doesn’t need weeks of build either - they can sell it with a single vignette. Jericho can just work commentary for the match - start settling in some tension between him and Taz.

You can just hear Jericho saying something like, "HOOK has learned more from me in our short time together than he did in the years of training he had before..." and Taz making a 'the f*** did he just say?' face.

a shibata/HOOK long term partnership would be really cool. i'm tired of talking about jericho or having to see him much these days but shibata/hook is a real solid idea. both quiet but different styles and if you're going to learn from anyone in or out of storyline, there's not really anyone better than shibata.

More then PUNK? Dude's been in lower card feuds for months now... Punk got his own show where he could apparently decide who could be on it, and paraded a "REAL Championship" around (Along with winning the real one multiple times), I'm gonna draw a line in a a sand at the Jericho hate here, it's not close to what happened with Punk lol

A Shibata/HOOK/Kyle stable would be super cool Need that Shibata translator app voice asking HOOK to train with him. Have HOOK agree, do a HOOK/Shibata vs Jericho/Sammy tag at the PPV and get HOOK away from Jericho. Unfortunately we’re more likely to get Jericho vs Shibata for rights to train HOOK or some shit instead. A ‘HOOK on a hook’ match.

Would love to see Hook paired with Shibata, particularly if it means Hook gets to cycle through New Japan in some capacity or at least do a few matches here and there like Mox and Bryan have. I don't know if I'd call it an excursion per say since I think Hook is reasonably past the Young Lion stage (though not necessarily by much) but even just letting him pop in here and there as "Shibata's protégé" would be fun.

WON reported Jericho wanting to work Mexico’s big CMLL shows with his Lionheart gimmick. Partly why I thought they paired him with HOOK so he could go there and get the experience and AEW could get more footage of him in a big time arena and reception since Jericho is still very over in Mexico

I just wanna say the two posts above this one are what FAN is all about when you filter out the noise. Kudos to both of you for almost making me snort coffee out my nose 😂😂

The matches, as usual, look like they're going to be fun. Interested of course in the footage thing tonight and how they go about it. And of course, I'm looking forward to my first Dynamite thread in months

Kinda want Shibata to join BCC straight up and Kyle to enter as Bryan's full time replacement once he goes into part time mode.
