uhh... what?So Moxley's next opponent in NJPW is a young lion?
Yep, he has a natural charisma to him and can probably get even the dumbest shit WWE could throw at him over. He also already had an incredibly successful run in the indies and has proven himself time and time again, so I just don't see him leaving WWE unless things get really dire.
why is he facing a young lion?
why are they proudly advertising that he's facing a young lion?
i'm so confused..

Chad Gable manages to get over in his 3 minute tv matches where the commentary isn't paying attention to the match
That's when you KNOW he's good.
Gable's current position on the roster: not even one of the geeks chasing r truth for the hardcore title. Just doesn't appear on tv at all. Praying this dude is waiting for his contract to end, dude would be a god in AEW or New Japan.

I don't have faith that they'll use Riddle right in the current bloated enviroment once hes called up.
WWE are handed slam dunks all the time that they manage to somehow screw up.
Its easy to look at NXT and think they get it but we've been down that road before.

It's why I don't watch NXT or WWE anymore. NXT feels pointless in the end, as the performers who get called up become as boring as everyone else on the main roster.
Somebody needs to do a "[insert game here] will save the PS3" style chalkboard meme for "There's no way WWE will fuck up [promising NXT talent]"
My impression is that Mox will wrestle literally anyone so long as it's not in the WWE.
He probably wanted to be on the show, New Japan probably wanted him on the show, so they just threw him with someone they had available.
Yeah, I think his BOSJ appearance went over really well and boosted their subscriptions so they are rushing to get him on the Dominion card.
Moxley kicking ass is cool
Young Lions getting their ass kicked is cool
This is going to be cool, and it's a cool-looking card

Mox and Suzuki have a battle over who can destroy the most Young Lions in 30 minutes.
Some are speculating the Umino vs Moxley match might be Umino's last match before excursion. This might be the big send off for him.
it will be exactly the same as Double Or Nothing
I'm more curious about the two shows in the middle because those are very clearly supposed to be smaller scale vs. DON and All Out being tentpole shows. I'm hoping they're priced more reasonably ($20) but I wouldn't be surprised if they're still like $40 in the US.....
Jesus, Kenny got fucked up. Is that concussion or blood loss, or both?

"This Moxley is like a pit bull. That's good shit. We need to sign him to a development deal." A confused call coming from Stamford, CT.
Here's a thought that came up.
Are prowrestlers -- particularly WWE prowrestlers -- are they resilient enough to be able to weather any vindictive booking once they've made it clear to WWE management that they won't be resigning with the company?
On that same front, will AEW viewers be savvy and forgiving enough to overlook performers who've been jobbed out on their way out of the WWE?

To answer at least the second question, the answer is yes. Just look at juice Robinson as an example.
They will almost certainly be somewhere - I see no reason why they won't be on Fite.tv at the very least. Probably ITV too since they specifically name-dropped the two shows in their initial press release for DoN.
I was never really concerned those shows would be 50, but nice to hear.
That's what I thought and expected too. Rust, jet lag, excitement, nerves is probably what he went through. That senton off the stage entrance! Juice either overshot it or Moxley and the lions were out of position. That had to have hurt.
Eh, calling Juice a former WWE guy who has been unchained is a bit of a stretch. Sure Juice used to work at WWE but when he went to NJPW, it was as a young lion, not as an established wrestler. So I'd argue the reason why he's a much better wrestler now than he was back then is because he started at the bottom and was trained in the New Japan dojo, not because he's just allowed to be more creative. Though you're right as far the promos are concerned.
Regardless, great match and an amazing card. Interesting to see Moxley's wrestling Shota Umino at Dominion but I guess it'll help Moxley shake off some of his ring rust and gives Shota a nice sendoff.
WWE can't be happy that they're getting good business in New York.
