Can we post what O-Khan has been doing in Vegas or no? If it's the photo I think it is, No, I mean you could censor it but it's like 80% of the photo. It got posted in the O Khan thread so... lol

So, here's something nobody's thinking of.
If the show does well enough, what's the possibility that Tony sells at least part of the company to Bushiroad?

I’m expecting Forbidden Door to be more tags/exhibition based than most, but if it ends up more than that I imagine they kinda have to start building to it soon.

Pretty sure we're getting FTR vs Roppongi vs Khan/Cobb as at least one match Punk vs KENTA even for the AEW Title would also probably be a good idea. Everyone's wanted it for a long time. I also have to think Andrade and RUSH are gonna do something with Naito.

They have to sell a fifty dollar ppv, I don’t think they can get away with booking it like a Road To card the way the NOAH vs NJPW show was. I’m sure there will be a few faction tags but they will be treated as and wrestled like important matches as opposed to exhibition filler.

I feel bad saying this as I’ve always been a KENTA fan but I just don’t think he’s a big enough deal right now to potentially main event the show against Punk. It’d be like making Okada’s opponent Sammy or Starks. A good match, sure, but not the epic encounter you’d want for a huge ppv event like this.
I think Punk is getting someone who has been IWGP champ. Okada, Naito, Ospreay, White, Shingo, Tana…someone at or near the top of the card. Ditto for Okada, he’ll get a main event level guy(if it’s not Punk).

Ditto for Okada, he’ll get a main event level guy(if it’s not Punk). I do think Punk probably gets Okada, probably a better style fit for him Mox or Danielson vs Tanahashi I think would also be good. Mox has wanted that for awhile, PAC vs Ospreay would be a really good idea, if not him then maybe Mox or Danielson If Cassidy is healthy enough I still wonder if they run him vs Jay White like they teased. Naito is either gonna reform LIJ with Andrade and RUSH or face off against Andrade I'd think would also be potential Darby vs Hiromu would be nuts just because they're both nuts. I want Miro or Wardlow to face a Shingo type. There can be some multi man matches here, like I said that triple thread tag seems like a lock, but they also have Team Taz, House of Black, Death Triangle, and more they can pit against New Japan's factions too

Jericho is very likely on the show. I’m guessing JAS will be involved in one of the faction tags. Maybe vs Chaos or Suzuki-Gun.
LIJ vs AFO seems likely.
Probably gonna be some sort of Bullet Club and Undisputed Elite thing but the question is will it be them fighting together or will they end up against each other?
If White is champ I say he either gets Hangman or potentially Cole if they have a falling out. If he’s not champ I think he’s in the faction shenanigans.
Mox vs Tana is a very safe bet.
Punk vs Okada I actually don’t think happens here. A champ vs champ match has too many politics to navigate, and if Okada loses his belt to White I don’t know if they want him to then immediately challenge Punk and lose again. I think Punk defending vs Ospreay is the way to go. It meshes well with UE vs FTR, and gives us a big dream match that Punk can win without a fuss. With Mox facing Tana, Bryan is free to face Okada.
I think some sort of hoss fight is a very safe bet as well. Take someone like Ishii or Shingo and put him up against someone like Lee, Wardlow, Miro, or Joe.

Hikuleo has joined the 10 Man Tag match on Dynamite, replacing the injured Adam Cole. Darby will be replacing the also injured Jeff Hardy

New Japan announced their full card for this Friday's Best of the Super Juniors finals, and Tanahashi is notably not featured along with a few other talents. Not saying they will be in the California area instead this week, but that's an easy trip for them to make these days.

I’m assuming Punk will face and beat a top guy that’s not Okada. And Okada will face and beat a top guy that’s not Punk.

Punk vs Tanahashi... The modern Bret vs the modern Shawn. God yes. Then do Danielson vs Tanahashi in Japan.

White defeats Okada.
Okada defeats Punk in Chicago for AEW World Championship.
Forbidden Door can’t be predictable.
This event needs to happen every year and for it to be successful you need to start it with a huge bang.
Punk would be fine with short reign..it may be the reason he was given the strap right now.
Go big Tony Khan and NJPW.

Go big Tony Khan and NJPW. Why not Punk vs White? Not enough positives for both sides. Same with Punk vs Okada. Punk can face Tanahashi or KENTA which are faces the American crowds have at least heard of and can lose while being viable challengers, while White/Okada can face anyone from the myriad of upper carders AEW has to give them a good defence. And no, I don't think any of the main titles will change hands here. Maybe the one set of tag belts from either side can, or a ROH title if those are in play, but that's about it.

Forbidden Door has one official match and it already feels like it'll be money well spent lmfao

Dave Meltzer is reporting it will be Okada vs Hangman Page for NJPW World Championship at Forbidden Door.
I believe, however, it will end up being White vs Page for Jay White’s NJPW World Championship.
