AEW is not viewed as competition like Japanese promotions. It's viewed as a doorway to a foreign market. There are other examples of high profile singles matches at interpromotional shows but Forbidden Door is kind of an unprecedented interpromotional show when you acknowledge that it's an American and a Japanese promotion collaborating, that it's a PPV show, and that the show is on American soil and is pushed as an interpromotional angle.
This has never happened before on this scale, on American soil, and with the interpromotional angle featured and pushed on American cable television. I've watched an enormous amount of puro and I'm disappointed that fellow puro fans would show such churlish console warrior tendencies -- something that should be above an enlightened fan of more esoteric professional wrestling. Shame on you if you're the above.
