AEW 2025 All Elite Wrestling/Ring of Honor #10: The Rise of Wheeler Yuta

[Fro]

Sorta sad

 

[yahhockey]

Exciting news…I am proud to announce that I am joining the Don Callis family. He promised me big things are coming and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store.

It is becoming a bit much. Almost like ten belts Mone. The family needs to trim the fat. One could argue Knight is replacing Takeshita but the family is still too large.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Lio Rush might have found a gimmick that works.

Not sure how I feel about the gimmick itself, but his theme is awesome.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

This is a take...good on Will to respond realistically

I feel like it's kind of a great compliment. "Hey, you're so f***ing good that you have more all time matches than I can count."

Mask vs. mask was also incredible so if Ospreay has never cleared that bar in one's eyes then that's not really something to hang his head in shame about.

I also think this applies to a number of other wrestlers like Kurt Angle. That dude has a lot of hidden gems that go unnoticed because of how excellent he was. I completely forgot about his match with Eddie at WM and after watching it, I can say it's even better than the one with HBK.

Mercedes vs. Hazuki running it back from their New Japan match.

 

[Fro]

Catching up on Dynamite...the initial pop for Mercedes was pretty good...the Dogs are good, but do little for me currently, Jet with DCF feels very odd....Thekla is just the whole deal...

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Clark Connors bringing out the Undertaker snakeskin pants is pretty funny.

Big fan of STP. Their mini feud with the Death Riders has been fun. Glad to see Mox and Shane have a match on Dynamite.

On the flip side, Dralistico is cheeks and the quicker Beast Mortos can start wrestling again instead, the better.

Mercedes vs. Hazuki running it back from their New Japan match.

Such an excellent match. 100% worth the watch for anyone who has the time!

 

[GKJ]

No Sareee is very sad

 

[GKJ]

Did they tell the crowd that this girl’s brother just died? Should’ve let the crowd get into her.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Kenny/ZSJ at FD LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO


Also Maya World vs. Skye Blue was a lot better than I expected. Great match.

 

[sansabri]

damn no sareee

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

I think they used the hair thing too early

Darby vs MJF regular title match - DON
Team Briscoe vs Team MJF cage match, MJF loses hair if beat, or just MJF vs Briscoe title match with MJF hair on line - Forbidden Door

Would have looked good to me

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I really hope Briscoe doesn't go full conglomeration with his team. I hope he chooses Jun Kasai and El Desperado as 2 of his teammates.

 

[GKJ]

This will be a great match because Kicchan absolutely kicks ass, but I don’t think this will be much of a money match because I’m the only one who knows who she is.

 

[SnS]

Will/Swerve is going to steal the show.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Forbidden Door looks like a great card while also simultaneously being false advertising. I feel like they should just abandon the concept after this year or turn it into a TV special. There's barely any involvement outside of AEW.

I’m wondering why. I can’t quite understand it. Unless there’s going to be surprises of some sort happening.

I don't think there is much left in New Japan that is an actual draw in North America anymore is part of the problem. When Forbidden Door started the hook was getting to see Ospreay, Okada, and Jay White. The guys left behind, are obviously still good but they don't stack up in the same way.

I figured that had something to do with it.

Like others have said there's nothing really there to be a draw here. The guys mentioned above left, Tanahashi retired, Naito is old/left and they haven't built any other international stars since. Even ZSJ, who is admittedly great but puts me to sleep personally isn't selling many tickets and is more of a Smark favorite.

They even lost the War Dogs. ZSJ and ELP are like the only Gaijins left over there, but both are almost 40 and were never huge stars to begin with. They're trying to build up Callum Newman, but after that there's really nothing.

As far as Japanese talent. I think they wanted Umino to be the next Okada but that hasn't worked. I'm not sure how big Tsuji is in Japan, but I doubt anyone here even knows who he is.

Since those in Canada could not watch last night's Collision show due to it being pre-empted on the USA Network by some dumbass NASCAR race running long, I found a legal link to the entire show:

Darn, looks like the US World Cup knockout game is the same time as Dynamite in San Diego on July 1.

 

[Fro]

Pretty stacked Dynamite tonight...smart to put Mistico on 1st with Mexico playing in 45 min

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Excellent episode. Jack Perry/ZSJ was real graps!
