Forbidden Door PPV card has only two interpromotional matches
Early card notes: just two matches involve outside promotions, with most bouts featuring AEW talent
I know people keep referring to the cage match as the main for Forbidden Door but I don't know how that show doesn't end with Will vs. Swerve. 🤼♂️
Yea, I don't see the cage match closing out the night either. Its a throw away match. "Triple main event" my ass. I can easily see it being Women's Owen, Cage Match, Men's Owen.
the only way Will v Swerver closes is if the cagematch goes before both Owen Finals, which IS possible especially now that its confirmed that Soup is the only person signed to NJPW in the entire 12 person match.
I wasn’t trying to say that anyone should be satisfied with the Forbidden Door line up, just that if you are desperate to see the awesome stars from AEW’s partner promotions, you can do that… I also wish there was more crossover at FD. I think maybe holding it outside the U.S. would be a good idea.
I agree that hosting Forbidden Door in different countries would do WONDERS for making it feel truly international. Bounce it around based on the talent they can get for it: Mexico, Japan, Canada, the UK…anywhere with a hot crowd and a unique venue will work.
I feel that, I was hoping for more from Stardom at least while also being optimistic that it's going to be a great show regardless.
taking Forbidden Door to another country would do a lot for booking international wrestlers on the show
So many Debbie downers for Forbidden Door smh. Whatever lol.
do i wish Forbidden Door was more Forbidden? sure. but we're also getting Starlight Kid v Thekla and Kenny v ZSJ. it's gonna be a good show, regardless
I'm done giving one dry shit about the whiners. They can sit and cry by themselves. I'm stoked for it!
Meanwhile I’m over here friggin AMPED for forbidden door
Possibly luke warm take Forbidden Door is a great idea on paper, yet it hasn't been pulled off well in build ups and stories ever since it started It still manages to become a fire PPV because you can't put this talent together and NOT get good matches But they should just give up on stories
Make Forbidden Door some kinda "You bring your best, we'll bring our best, and we'll make a tourny out of it" kind of dealio Then you could start to even develop stories from there, but honestly... they should keep it simple. KISS that shit
Would also probably help if it wasn't done as a yearly event. Or have other promotions be invited instead of just New Japan. For me, the term dream match loses all meaning when the two dudes fighting have had six previous matches against each other.
