For the NJPW fans that watched Forbidden Door:
How did you feel your wrestlers were represented? Do you feel like they were treated/booked well, or were they given the bum's rush?

I thought they were booked pretty well in the show. AEW had the lion's share of the wins but the only people that matter that took a fall where Tanahashi and ZSJ, two tier two guys.

Nothing to complain about from a one-off show. Though, naturally, if they do happen to have their Japan Forbidden Door show, like people are talking about, and then the AEW guys come in and win most of the matches again, that's when I'm gonna start having issues.

On the show itself they were fine, except United Empire cheating because their gimmick is they don't cheat.
Bigger issue is Tony booked them to look like geeks on TV and had them just doing random run in brawls.

Yeah, the actual promotion of the show was what Tony fucked up cause he's a spaz.

It was okay. I have three "issues" but I honestly don't care about them that much with how the event went overall.

Come on, this isn't an issue at all. Young Lions are always jobbers. Kohei wasn't even able to tag out in the last match. His 3 partners were left to dry while he jobbed out.

I thought the NJPW guys were mostly buried hard and presented flatly in places where they did win. It really sucked and I don't have faith in a future partnership.

It was good, the home promotion took most wins as is natural, Shingo got to fistbump Sting. It just sucked it was 2 weeks after Dominion so nothing could happen till after it.

Against fucking Billy Gunn.

I agree Cole shouldn't have been in the 4 way, OC was a replacement for Andrade but I don't mind him going for the us title

Cole was there to lay groundwork for Bullet Club vs Elite. No one else really works for that.

Rocky also challenged for the heavyweight tag titles.

Honestly I think OC did a better job than Andrade would have. That was a really good match, even if you hate the OC gimmick.

Ospreay should've worked a singles match against Jericho and gone over. OC wasn't a high calibre enough opponent and still he needed to cheat to win, that's just fucking stupid, it goes directly against UE's shtick. NJPW really should've politicked harder in Will's favor.
Other than that it was fine.

Tony didn't put the match together, Will wanted to do the spot.

Will's very versatile though it's easy to meme him as a flippy guy he can work with anyone. He'd probably do great against Jericho by bumping his ass off and making his old man offense look killer.

>>6273048
Will needs tard handlers. Someone in the NJPW office should've assured he went over clean as a whistle with zero outside. He's a bordering top 4 in their company, he should be killing OC.

He ran in and attacked people for no reason. Aussie Open, who were booked as his cronies which is stupid, interfered in th ematch multiple times so they could do the dive outside onto a tag team that kills them but they will kick out of every move when they wrestle spot.

I wasn’t sure if Jericho’s old ass could keep up with him. I like Jericho but he’s not 20 anymore. But if Will can wrestle slow they probably could have had a fun match with more character spots.

He did. This is like saying Jay White didn't beat Okada clean at Dominion.

Pin-eaters, yes, but in hard-fought matches where they always seem to have a chance. This was a handicap match and them losing is stupid regardless of how Japan does things.

Nigga, no. Cole is a junior and NJPW was kind enough to ROH back in the day to hide Cole in title matches where he always won against ROH talent, or in multi-mans where he could pin other juniors.

They all got killed by some old man in 3 minutes and it made everyone look bad because muh wwf midcard er from 20 years ago destroyed a whole team singlehandedly after young dude was beaten up by them for the entire match.
But its just more wwe booking from Tony "wwe is evil but I copy the worst things they do" Khan
