What was your match of the night for Forbidden Door?
There’s no wrong answer seeing as how it is one of the greatest in ring pay per views ever. For me, Orange Cassidy and Will Ospreay topped the rest.

I'd say Will/Orange was the best but the Sting six man tag was the most fun match.

Ospreay vs Cassidy is a clean cut 5 star match, not even a debate imo.

I personally have a joint top-three but since I can only pick one I went with Osprey v Cassidy. My other two matches were Castognoli v Sabre and Moxley v Tanahashi

Claudio/ZSJ and OC/Osprey were so close in quality to me but the OC match edges it out barely. Amazing match.

There’s, like, four 5 stars matches on this show 😂
OC/Ospreay takes the crown for me tho

Ospreay/OC to me. I know many aren't fans of Billy GOAT for very valid reasons, but OC's gimmick going against his current gimmick just added perfectly and made a great match.
Also have to shout out Bullet Club vs Dudes with Attitude for just being fun.

Shoutout to the Buy In btw
Keith/Swerve vs Despy/Kanemaru was f***ing fantastic, and QT/Solo vs YOAHI HASHI/Goto was really fun too, they really hyped you up for the actual PPV.

Jericho Appreciation Suzuki-Gun vs BCC affiliation to me. The Eddie/Suzuki stand-offs, Eddie/Jericho's continued chemistry, Yuta's five Germans on Jericho, Shooter looking like a star, Suzuki in general just sort of dicking around and still being great, Sammy getting nuclear heat...perfect stuff.

Here are my completely irrelevant and SPOILER FREE scores for the matches tonight
QT/Solo vs YOSHI HASHI/Goto: 3 stars, perfect opener, QT pulling out crazy shit was a treat. Everyone looked solid
Lance Archer vs Nick Comoroto: 2.5 Stars, just a fun meat slappin meat contest, good hoss stuff
Keith Lee/Swerve vs Kanemaru/Despy: 3.5 Stars, this is free to view on Youtube... please view it, it was sensational
Max Caster/Billy/Colten/Austin Gunn vs LA Dojo: 2.5 Stars. Short, fun, and actually 5 stars for the Ass Boys song becoming canon, thanks Danhausen. It's crazy to see Billy work like he does.
Jericho/Guevara/Suzuki vs Kingston/Yuta/Umino: 3.5 Stars, tremendous match, Shooter and Yuta look like the legit future of wrestling, Jericho and Minoru look like ageless wonders, Kingston and Guevara did awesome shit. Guevara was the ultimate heel, Umino was a great Underdog. FTR vs United Empire vs Ropongi Vice: 3.5 Stars, idk if Dax got actually hurt or not, but the crowd popped when he came back. Great match, right result, United Empire look like monsters.
PAC vs Miro vs Malakai Black vs Clark Connors: 3.5 Stars: Clark Connors arc in this really needs to be talked about. Bullied the whole match until he snapped. Crowd went from indifferent to downright rooting for him to win. Everyone played their roles well, and a really good winner and first champion for the belt
Sting/Darby/Takagi vs Young Bucks/El Phantasmo: 4 Stars. This was so much fun I can't even describe it. ELP and Sting were MVPs and Darby, Shingo and the Bucks were also at that level tonight. This made me sad Hiromu wasn't here, but it didn't matter, this match ruled. Thunder Rosa vs Toni Storm: 3.5 Stars, these girls worked their asses off, very crisp, Rosa looks back to 100 percent, and great makeup and mannerisms from her, she looked like a bat out of hell. Storm also showcasing how hard WWE missed out is a treat.
Will Ospreay vs Orange Cassidy: 5 Stars. I don't see how this doesn't get five stars, and every dumb Orange Cassidy "Pockets" take can finally be buried in the ground where it belongs. He wasn't carried here, he held with Ospreay, and it was a f***ing fantastic clash of styles and story told, may watch it again.
Claudio Castagnoli vs Zack Sabre Jr: 5 Stars. Pure wrestling at its finest. Hard to have an alternate come in and also have a five star match in my eyes but Claudio did it. Terrific spots only that man can do, seeing him unleashed again and a hundred percent, and Zack's just one of the best to do it right now himself. This was worth the price alone.
Jay White vs Hangman Page vs Adam Cole vs Okada: 4 Stars. The ending was a bit sloppy for legit reason but everyone here looked like a million bucks by the end. It could have gone another few minutes and if it did, it would have been the third straight 5 star match tbh, it's great regardless.
Moxley vs Tanahashi: 4.5 Stars. Big Match Tana is still there, and he had that entire crowd behind him by the end. He and Mox worked a classic tonight, and it's well worth your time, and it was definitely a banger end to a banger PPV
Just top to bottom quality, PPV's an easy 10/10 for me, I know the post-match was sour to some people, but I will be hard pressed to find a better top to bottom card of match quality this year than this one. And that was with ALL THE INJURIES and replacements to it, that's insanity that it still turned out this good.
Maybe All Out or Full Gear could do it? But for now, this was just easily the PPV of the year for me.

I's say Will/Orange was the best but the Sting six man tag was the most fun match. Exact same for me.

Ospreay-Cassidy was a 5 star match.
Wish people who don't watch AEW would stop talking about it. Imagine OC having to justify why he's one of the best, and most over, wrestlers in the world.

When it comes to the Ospray/Cassidy match , the "why won't you die?!!" look on Ospray's face really sold the match for me. Not only did the match include amazing moves, but the general story being told of Orange getting on Ospray's nerves made for a good narrative to enjoy. This was so well done.

I am not calling it the best match of the night, exactly, but I come away from the 4-way the most excited in some ways. PAC got a huge win after so many setbacks, and I am really excited for Miro's probable retaliation towards Black for misting him, something I can't imagine him taking lying down. The Redeemer versus some sort of pagan demigod, sounds like a blast.

It won’t have a chance but I want to give some love to the opening six man. Out of all the matches, that was the one I didn’t expect too much from but it was a match that gave Umino more notice from the wider American viewing public along with it just being massive amounts of fun. Loved it so much.
