I was corrected earlier
AEW themselves presented it as a "better match" to Meltzer. Not his own words.
Okada doesn't have enough pull to work a rival promotion show that has literally stolen talent from you. While are and Njpw will probably have a working relationship in the neir future is not right now. And I doubt Kenny will do the g1
I have an exclusive on Hangman's new opponent for Double or Nothing
Christ.
Could you imagine going from a potential great match with Pac vs Hangman
TO A POTENTIAL MATCH OF THE YEAR CONTENDER WITH HANG MAN VS INVISIBLE MAN
I want to believe.I have an exclusive on Hangman's new opponent for Double or Nothing
I will mark the fuck out if this happens. The world is not ready for Invisible Man
Not a chance. New Japan are not working with AEW at the moment.
If it is a better match, then Moxley does not fit. It could be someone from DDT, AAA or another Japanese promotion like AJPW or a freelancer like Suzuki.
We will see. I do not think we are going to see a joint show between AEW and NJPW in a long time, but small talent "exchanges" could become a thing. Specially with the shit RoH pulls that probably make NJPW office forget they are mad with AEW.
Talent exchange may happen down the line but definitely not yet. New Japan are sticking with ROH for the time being.
Also I definitely think it needs reminding that New Japan were not happy with the way Omega and Trent Barretta left the company.
There is nothing that roh has done the taking some.of njpw top.stars or dude they had plans for.
"Damage control." "Stanning." What? He says multiple times that it's fine to criticise them for the decision and makes it clear he doesn't know if the replacement match will live up to the promises of whoever talked to him. What he's doing is rationalising their decision and then explaining that logic that led to it to a bunch of clueless internet geeks who in typical Twitter/internet fashion, are treating it like it's the end of the world. He does the same shit for every promotion, especially WWE, even when they do things that don't make sense (eg, he thought WWE deliberately tried to make Becky the face when she turned on Charlotte last year when in reality WWE were just stupid). The only reason this is different is because you're only paying attention to the stuff he says about AEW.
Exactly.
Bummed about the PAC news, I was really looking forward to that match. If it's not about the outcome in his match with Page and more about AEW worrying this would book themselves into a corner regarding future matches, they could just... hold off on those future matches? I don't get it.
I keep reading about Omega being in the G1 this year but nobody ever explains why they expect this to happen.
Didn't Omega say that he didn't feel NJPW appreciated him as much as other promotions? I think he also said something about NJPW being his worst option when his contract was up, and that the New Japan style and schedule got to be too much for him.
Add all that onto the rumor that NJPW wasn't happy about the way he left, and I'm just not sure why anyone is expecting to see him back any time soon. I know he has something in his current contract about going back but there seems to be a lot of headwinds against that happening. Happy to be proven wrong though.
Probably ought to fix it, pal
especially if they've known this for over a month
Sounds like the best booking way to handle this. Page was going to lose, but no point in that happening if PAC isn't going to be able to be booked to lose after that, has an interesting angle and if AEW paid for the match, there doesn't appear to be any bad blood. With the post match promo PAC cut, gives him an interesting angle for a return down the line.
I'm bummed because PAC is one of my favorite guys, but I will love it if he shows up one week on the TV show out of nowhere and maims someone.
He's gone at least till he drops the DG title and even then he might not ever be back.
Time will tell
I am not a big PAC fan or anything, but this definitely does make me more hyped for his return match with Page when/if it happens.
It's pretty crazy, that this is the first official match of AEW.
So big Dave is mentioning that the "creative differences" are not PAC not wanted to lose. The plans always have been PAC to beat Page, but they dont want PAC to beat Omega (that would be the natural course with "win lose matters" politics) so that's why they cancelled the angle.
That makes more sense.
That makes more sense.
If this is it, then in makes no sense that they did not have PAC beat Page at DoN and cut a promo saying there is nothing worth fighting here. Then, have him return once he dropped the DG Belt.
That wouldn't make sense either because there are at least two. Omega and Jericho.
PAC is about the gold, and AEW has no belts so far. Just have him cut a promo that he would return when there is something worth taking.

It's less than 5 days away. I got my tickets ready. Driving to Vegas Friday afternoon. I'm taking my girlfriend to Double or Nothing. It will be her first time being at a live wrestling show. We are both excited. Can't wait.
HE'S A FUCKING HORSE.
Between the match tomorrow and another BTE on Thursday, we might get some clarity on what Hangman is doing on Saturday.
Might have been a dig at Michael Nakazawa since they have been doing that bit for a while now.
I've listened to it a few times and I'm sure Matt says "It's fine, we'll cut Michael Elgin or something"
If you two like beer, I recommend Ellis Island on Koval, about a mile north of the mgm parking structure.
One of my favorite places in LV. They brew their own beer on site and they're only $2.5. 4 food options inside as well.
