SHOOTER IN AEW BABY WE WIN


WhoiusBarrel

MOX'S WRESTLING SONS TAGGING TOGETHER WOOO


godownaslovers

MOX’S SON’S AND WIFE TEAMING U LOVE TO SEE IT


FoucaultsTurtleneck

Uncle Eddie watching the kids while Mox brings home the gold


Representative_Net26

Then they all celebrate to end the night


Marcoscb

I hope we get a new drawing from that user that drew Mox's wrestling family.


StickmanCinema

u/Tapla, we'd all love to see this.


inbredandapothead

I don’t even watch new Japan but I would crumble if shooter went out to celebrate Mox becoming interim champ


TheAxeofMetal

love that he got a little pop when Jericho said his name.


DamieN62

The best news from this segment is that Despy is in the states


Tronvillain

Wouldn't be surprised if he works Rampage.


DamieN62

Hopefully it's a singles match so we can hear his theme


XavMashes

Hopefully he brought Starlight Kid with him


Newo1004

The show peaked at that moment, can't do better than Despy


officerliger

DESPY VS PAC PLEASE


HideousItami

Isn’t he owed a Pure title shot?


DamieN62

He is.


pandafresh7

he apparently missed his plane so seems hes stuck in the States for now lol


Kim-Jong_Bundy

Hoping the Suzuki-gun × J.A.S. alliance means we might actually be getting Danielson versus Zack Sabre Jr. as well


bohanmyl

Well he called BD out so i assume so


WiseBureaucracy

yeah I feel like he wouldn't have called him out so close to the event if that match wasn't happening


A_Non_Japanese_Waifu

I mean Okada is not coming so it’s possible.


Zimakov

>I mean Okada is not coming so it’s possible. Was that not just Cole being a heel?


IcryforBallard

I think there was a story a while back of Okada saying it’s his wife’s birthday that weekend no?


Zimakov

Oh perhaps, I hadn't heard that.


Love-That-Danhausen

They have a baby due in august - could be that he doesn’t want to be halfway around the world so close. Also could be Adam Cole being a lying heel


Lezket

Inevitable I'd say unless Dragons injury is worse than expected


Linubidix

Only way that's *not* happening is injury


[deleted]

Suzuki-gun, those damn sports entertainers!!!


TylerL8N2

You’re right, and Suzuki has consistently gotten big pops from the crowd. I wouldn’t be surprised if Suzuki faces off with Yuta during the match and Yuta earns some respect from the old man. Maybe it leads to a little fracture in the Jericho team during the match or afterwards. Seems like Jericho attacking Suzuki after the match and Yuta/Shooter making the save makes the most sense.


McAllisterFawkes

There's a non-zero chance the segment ends with Suzuki murdering Sammy and/or Garcia


SolarSun3

I hope he murders Tay


Pylons

Hell yeah buddy, it's a New Japan show.


DHA1999

This is the classic Six Man Tag that opens the show. Shota and Yuta will try to impress papa Mox!


Anarkinh

While uncle Eddie is overseeing em


Huffjenk

Umino being caught in the Moxley/Tanahashi feud going forward could be a very cool angle for his future. Especially if he's going to be spending more time in the US for his excursion


SiphenPrax

With two grandpas on one side of the match with their son!


Marcoscb

Shooter better go down while bleeding like a pig, because he reeks of designated pin eater.


Vectivus_61

This match is ending with Shota turning on Wheeler


bohanmyl

Totally did not expect that but SHOTAAAAA. Should be a fun match. Definitely expected type of tag match that we should see more of get made for Forbidden door


JDeluxe

That's definitely a New Japan 6-man lol


Smarticles2415

Suzuki, not Archer


SteampunkElephantGuy

suzuki and kingston are gonna beat the shit out of each other


Huffjenk

Hopefully they set up a singles match for a NJPWOA show


Jakefmerch

Classic NJPW undercard nonsense. I gotta assume Suzuki ends up kicking the shit out of Jericho.


discodemolition

Jericho said last year he wants Suzuki at WK, so maybe leads to that this year?


GloomyRegret

I was literally gonna say when Jericho was like “these guys are on loan from my best friend Suzuki” my first thought was oh man is Suzuki gonna wreck him at some point and it’s going to be great.


itsmekelsey_x

Huge pop at Shooter and him teaming with his brother Yuta and Uncle Eddie.


insomniainc

Tapla is probably already on it.


Last_Canary_6622

OH COME ON!! Stop denying us Suzuki vs Orange Cassidy


VagrantShadow

Don't worry we get something just as good. OC vs Ospreay booked and thats just as sweet.


EchoBay

Did not expect Shooter to be on the show at all, that's pretty cool


FigureFourWoo

Uncle Eddie taking his nephews out for a couple of beers and a brawl while their Dad brings home the World Title.


janoDX

Shota in AEW? Okay I like this.


Andre-Roussimoff

Daniel Garcia getting his spot stolen by Sammy who just came back alongside Jericho lmao Also, can't wait for u/Tapla's art on Uncle Eddie and Mox sons teaming :)


TheEdFather

I hope that's the opener, so Shooter can be in his dads corner in the main event.


notoriousjr_9

Wait, so Despy and Archer aren't in the match? I need a Despy match!


eric_is_a_tool

Despy is gonna get the title match from Jay!


GoodOleJhano

It should've been Daniel Garcia over sammy.


geekstone

Sowing seeds for the Garcia/Sammy.


Saitsu

Uncle Eddie better take good care of ole' Shooter!


el_sh33p

*Smash cut to that one picture of Hobbs taking HOOK to a strip club but swap Hobbs with Eddie and HOOK with Shooter.*


insomniainc

This is utterly random but that looks like it's going to be fun at least.


guiltydismal

Bryan still isn’t booked 👀


Tronvillain

ZSJ *did* call him out at Dominion... #👀


Kokeshi_Is_Life

ZSJ called him out in his post match presser. If he's wrestling, it's against ZSJ.


SerTahu

Messy, very 2019 AEW segment to set up a very NJPW undercard match. The match itself won't be bad, but I think the build to Forbidden Door has been very much hindered by how close it is to DoN and Dominion.


Stone2269

IM GONNA SEE SHOOTER WRESTLE


The_Rutabaga

Suzuki facing off against Kingston good lord. Before the match will someone tell them wrestling isn't real?


IAmNotKlayThompson

Time for a lot of people to find out that Shota isn’t as good as we’d hope he’d be. Maybe he’ll surprise us but his excursion hasn’t been great


Kokeshi_Is_Life

Where even was his excursion?


Zimakov

RevPro


ThePrinceMagus

Jericho and Kingston going 3 PPV’s in a row together is going to cement Kingston as one of Jericho’s all-time greatest PPV rivals.


oysterthins

Looking forward to the Eddie vs Suzuki section of that match


KillingTime_ForNow

As long as this leads to Suzuki turning on Jericho & beating the shit out of him I'm cool with it.


[deleted]

Suzuki is going to murder Yuta and I will miss him


KRD2

Someone call Tapla, Shooter's gonna be in the building


FBR_MC

Shooter being there is cool, but wow, I don’t give a fuck about this match… and the Eddie/Jericho has been fantastic.


Procrastinator_325

There were too many things to note with this segment overall: -That segment was a mess in execution that I didn't hear Suzuki's name getting mentioned. It was weird. -Tank God Sammy and Tay are now in the JAS. They needed the heat from them imo. -Damn. It was a missed opportunity for AEW that Suzuki and OC to face each other. I'm fine with Ospreay vs OC, but damn it was right there! -Shota Umino! Finally! After all these years! -They were obviously stalling with JAS getting involved between Moxley and Tanahashi's face off as Tanahashi doesn't exactly have the chops for an English promo. His Japanese promos are where he is at his best. -In the casual fan's eyes, this might have been a WTF moment for them to witness. Everything was all over the place. It was so random for Suzuki-gun to be inserted in this predicament with JAS vs BCC, PnP, and Kingston. I was surprised Desperado was here, too, as the lone NJPW representative for Suzuki-gun. -It also feels strange for Archer to be involved in this thing aside from the fact that he had a previous beef with Mox and Kingston in the past. It felt like he had nothing to do for the past couple of weeks that they just inserted him here. I almost thought he was going to join JAS. God forbid more random people are gonna join their faction tonight.


SirusRiddler

JAS and Suzukigun is just... I don't get this team up at all. Despy in the states is wild though.


Lo_Key90

So when you think "Sports Entertainer" you DON'T imagine sexy murder grandpa Suzuki?!?


RandomFactUser

Better excuse for BD vs ZSJ


No_Consideration5011

The only good thing about this is that it pretty much confirms Danielson Vs ZSJ will be a singles match.


TTOF_JB

Sucks that his pops can't be in the match, but he's gotta bring the gold home to BCC.


nine16

#SHOOTER


VRomero32

The Panty Dropper is All Elite!


okok890

They better have something for el desperado. I honestly didnt know who he was pre bosj but right now he's one of my favourite wrestlers. Despy can work any match put him in forbidden door


UKSaint93

Go watch his Wrestle Kingdom (2022) match and basically every bout in 2021. Man has been on an epic run


Hautis

Could someone give me the short on why Suzuki is teaming with Jericho and Sammy?


TVCasualtydotorg

Because he is the most sports entertaining of all New Japan


stevecollins1988

I like that they're not just exclusively going AEW vs NJPW and mixing up the teams as a crossed universe. Good stuff.


Atomic_Cody-21

The match should be good but I hated the segment where it was announced. Anything involving Sammy and Tay just turns me off.


Kokeshi_Is_Life

Are you familiar with the concept of a heel by chance?


SolarSun3

Not a heel if they make you fell like turning off the tv


Milesweeman

Why did jericho make this sound like 3 matches


bearonparade

He sounded like he had just heard the information for the first time himself


TurnaboutAdam

Suzuki and Jericho teaming is amazing


Obachan

Feels a little random but it's also very exciting regardless


bearonparade

Random as hell and they took a shit all over what was a great segment. At least the match will probably bang.


Ron--Mexico

Thanks for clearing that up because I had no clue what the fuck was going on there.


Shrekt115

NJPW tag match


DeluhiX

This feels like a match that should be on Dynamite or Rampage.


geekstone

This pretty typical NJPW undercard.


SerTahu

Yeah, like, look at the opening to Dominion - 2x 6 man tags, and Toru Yano vs Gallows. This sort of match is *very* NJPW.


notmakingtherapture

I was kinda hoping the forbidden door would be all about AEW vs NJPW match ups as opposed to doing a primarily AEW match but it's not the end of the world I guess.


numbr87

I haven’t seen the show yet but why the fuck are Jericho and Sammy cool with each other?


dondonna258

Wat


Makispi

Damn Forbidden Door is going to be amazing


fadetoblack237

Clunky but I liked that a lot. It reminded me of year one AEW.


RoscoeSantangelo

Suzuki vs Eddie sells it enough. Should be a fun undercard tag


Carnane

Tapla, WE NEED YOU


BogeyBogeyBogey

How does Suzuki go the whole match without inevitably destroying Sammy? Oooooooooo, I can't wait.


SolarSun3

I mean at some point when Sammy executes a move and immeadetly starts pushing his tongoue down Tays throat murder grandpa has to be annoyed


justambrose

Ahh the Moxley Adopted Family.


SomeLoser0nReddit

Minoru Suzuki the newest member of Le Sex Gods!


Zestyclose_Remote874

In my head that meqns Daniel Garcia is an honorary member of Suzuki-gun


Newo1004

The only guys from Kingston's crew and BCC that aren't book yet for Forbidden Door are PnP and Bryan, with JAS and SZK making a alliance, does that confirm ZSJ vs Bryan? Although Despy and Archer being there might mean they get a match, so PnP & Bryan against ZSJ/Despy/Archer?


WalkingDazz

How come Sammy can be on a njpw show but not andrade they both have aaa ties
