👋I took the time to try and paint a picture of what Forbidden Door was like as somebody live in attendance and the questionable after party that followed.

Written with the assumption you’ve seen the show - hopefully you can enjoy some extra flavour to the ppv ahead of AEW Dynamite tonight

Then it is over to the Americas, where Seán walks us through the “Forbidden Door” at London’s O2 Arena, before David provides us with coverage of WWE's "Summerslam" weekend and Peter gives us the run-through on Netflix's "Unreal" series on WWE creative.

I am realising with alarming intensity that my knowledge of what day of the week it is stems from how close to Dynamite/Collision/an AEW ppv is on.

Keep assuming it’s Friday because of the dynamite day change.

So the AEW Tag title match at Wrestledream puts the “will Takeshita win the IWGP World title this weekend?” conversation in the ground for good doesn’t it?

I’m not complaining. Goto/ZSJ 3 is the Dome match for me it’s just a weird move I wasn’t expecting AEW to do.

I mean NJPW could also absolutely fuck things and belt up somebody who isn’t going to be around for most of the build to the biggest show in literal years

Super hyped for AEW dynamite/collision over the next 2 days and will be more overjoyed if Killer Kross isn’t picked up too 🤞

Dude didn’t want to come in for the spot that wound up being Big Bills and honestly, I can’t begin to imagine him being anywhere near that level in AEW. Ship’s sailed

Kyle Fletcher almost did this to Adam Cole and people tried to kill his career. (Cole’s arm took the hit, his head hit the draping)

I’m sure grifters are equally up in arms about this and grabbing their pitchforks

The person who made the ai video of Chris Benoit in AEW should be left on a remote island, alone, with nothing but a fishing rod for eternity

Also, as a NJPW fan too, AEW booking Takeshita in a tag match with Okada 5 days before Takeshita challenges for the IWGP Title??

Essentially confirming he’s not appearing before the title match?

Seán @iezephyr.bsky.social · 7d

6 years deep and #AEWDynamite is still the most valuable wrestling show on tv.

Wrestledream having Stat vs Storm is great, Hanger vs Joe is odd but should be very strong.

Happy for the first 6 months of Andrades run to start but PLEASE leave the what chants in 1998 when they were relevant 🙄

No but this thread is so on the money and sums up why so many wrestlers are just frauds, happy to capitalize off of real issues, or, desperate to compromise their morals for a fat paycheck (in some cases, even just a reduced pay check from TNA)

Mustafa Ali showing up on NXT when they just changed the name of their show to appease Israel is an interesting move! The spinelessness of some professional wrestlers never ceases to amaze me

Seán @iezephyr.bsky.social · 9d

People talk about peak LOLTNA being when Russo had the booking powers but the reality is, running an invasion angle where the team captain is from the “rival” company and not one other person on “Team TNA” has any sense of being a TNA wrestler is as close as we might come.

I’m continually impressed at their abilities to find new lows as I always assume they can’t go lower but by god, they find a way

Seán @iezephyr.bsky.social · 9d

Just when you think they can’t get any worse, WWE rebrand a show to appease Israel.

Seán @iezephyr.bsky.social · 9d

Late to the party but a week ago I was hoping for AEW women’s tag belts or a women’s blood and guts, expecting neither and assuming Death Riders would get another big stip match instead.

What a fucking week ahead of the anniversary show (which should be a blast!)

This is how it feels to have Tony Khan have his finger on the pulse instead of listening to people around him. Let madness just murder other women in a double cage please and thank you

I can’t believe AEW flinched and moved All Outs start time ->which went on to only be maybe their third most successful ppv of the year 😔

Seán @iezephyr.bsky.social · 14d

Looking at where the reactions were 2 months ago vs now - I think if you weren’t in those 8 women tag matches, you shouldn’t be first up to hold these belts.

The exception will always be there for “Storm and friend” but outside of that? Madness/Bayne Ford/Babyface super team makes sense to start
