You missed a small but significant detail. When Switchblade finished his part of the promo, he said "It's still OUR era" normally his signoff is "its still MY era" I dont know if that is a hint at BC and Elite working together or if it might be a hint at Adam Cole (and likely Bobby and Kyle) are going to join/rejoin the BC.
That's what I've been saying since Switchblade popped up in AEW. He's gonna recruit Undisputed, they turn on The Bucks, Kenny returns, etc etc... Blood & Guts!
Adam Cole hasn't forgotten what Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks did to him back in 2017. The revenge is for him rejoining BC with *Switchblade* in charge along with the new addition of *reDRagon.*
It gave me chills recalling the interview Tanahashi had after his match with Jericho when he mentioned the "forbidden door". Hindsight, we now have this partnership.
I don't think this is pro-wrestling's second Golden Age. But it is a Pro-Wrestling Renaissance. The Second Golden Age is yet to come. I feel that there is one small thing that is making this be the Golden Age. Great video Hermano.
easily my favorite era. from when I started watching wrestling again in 2015 to present. i was a literal lifelong fan as my Grandpa would watch WCW when he babysat me as an infant until it turned into a basic monopoly when WCW and ECW folded but turned into a fan after randomly watching an NJPW show late one night then getting into ROH.
I noticed White's "Catalyst" shirt and had to think of how persistently Kevin Kelly has called him that to emphasize his long-distance influence on Bullet Club and events in NJPW, and via those, AEW. No coincidence that he wore it! I really do feel that the huge, years-long storyline of BC and The Elite could finally come full circle at this event. The Elite have changed the world. Tanahashi's dream will come true.
What is Tanahashi's dream? I haven't been familiar with NJPW for all that long in the grand scheme of things. This is the best time to be a wrestling fan. I haven't felt like this about wrasslin'...uh...ever. Hopefully one day Vince will either give control of the company to HHH, or he'll finally come to his senses and 1) allow his talent significantly more freedom, 2) join the rest of the wrestling world by working with all of the other promotions.
@@Tcrror to see the "forbidden door" opened. It was Tanahashi who coined the term "forbidden door" to describe the barrier between NJPW and AEW, and in a larger sense the barrier that kept all wrestling promotions from cooperating and sharing shows. He said at the time how much he hoped to see that door opened some day. Which makes it so great that they're actually using that phrase as the name of the show. =)
Dude, I would love if you did some retrospectives on NJPW talent and storylines from those years you mentioned (or recommend some YTers who have). I haven't got to watch any NJPW really, and I'd love to see some of that b4 Forbidden Door
You're right- the possibilities are endless. I'm excited to see what they come up with. I dont think it's possible for this to happen without Kenny showing up in some capacity. I wonder if thats why they've been putting Ibushi's return off? I could totally see a GL reunion happen at this... even if it's just right at the end and they aren't fighting.
According to Chris Charlton, Ibushi considers himself back to almost 85% but says the injured shoulder is still weak. He won't feel ready to come back until he can lift equal weight with both arms. I guess that could be in June, but there's no way to know. i hope i hope i hope
After this PPV, Blackpool Combat Club surely go to Japan (pretty please) and feud with everyone, but mainly LIJ. Either way this is a beautiful thing for the professional wrestling landscape
I wish your dad was here for you too brother. So much love. This channel is going to be massive, it's obvious because of the love you have that he gave you. Thank you for sharing that love. Take care.
and now I'm seeing the E-drones "how is this supposed to get the casual fans?" Its not. This is FOR US. Isnt that nice? Something actually FOR wrestling fans.
@Andrew Vazquez Growth happens over long periods of time. Decades even. We wont know the success or failure of AEW for a long, long time. But for now I'm gonna enjoy these nerdy wrestling shows.
@@BaLLHands87 they never grew,check their ratings,at best they are a niche stagnant product,and doing nothing to appeal to a wider audience..people will never care about just 5 * matches
I remember a few years ago seeing a fan made lineup of All In (Danielson vs Ibushi, Punk vs Omega, etc.). The fact that this can finally become a reality gives me goosebumps.
Imagine if in this PPV, Adam Cole takes over The Elite with the backing of Jay White, and later Ibushi runs to check on a fallen Kenny, teasing a Golden Lovers reunion
I really hope Kenny has recovered in time for Forbidden Door. It's not New Japan without Kenny. I'm so ready for a Golden Lovers reunion. Also, I really really hope they bring Will Ospreay. He's so incredibly talented. And lastly, I have a secret hope that NJPW might partner with World Wonder Ring Stardom again and maybe we will have one Stardom match on this show. Those women are amazing!
I need Danielson vs ZSJ, that was the first match that came into my mind, by also BCC vs Suzuki-gun would be awesome too. And I wouldn't be surprised if someone declares for the G1 at this show, maybe Danielson or Mox.
From the opening chords, I get excited. Your analysis of AEW has been one of the reasons I began to truly appreciate and love their product. And yes, this is a huge thing. A massive thing. Me? I’m surprised they didn’t just go for Madison Square Garden to send a message out. (Shrugs). Maybe the next one... but I am so excited I can’t even speak. This will be an event for the ages. Thanks for the video amigo- context is everything.
I just hope this helps build a bigger audience for AEW and NJPW. Hardcore fans will already be watching but you still need casual fans to keep companies alive. I just don't know if they will watch
Big fact. This show should be on a Baseball Stadium or a NFL stadium because this event is gonna be MASSIVE !. The tickets are gonna be flying straight up from the tickets sellers
Honestly, it's a crying shame. Can you imagine how much more awesome the wrestling industry would be if the biggest company (notwithstanding Tranquilo's assertion, and for that matter WWE's own assertion, that WWE doesn't count as a "wrestling company") didn't segregate itself away in its own pocket universe where no other promotions exist until the point that they get bought up? Think of the possibilities! Could you imagine if WWE stars were free to travel out and wrestle for other companies the way wrestlers in other promotions (especially AEW) are between their primary commitments? You know Moxley is still the GCW World Champion? Could you imagine if, say, Drew McIntyre or Finn Balor showed up on Dynamite or Impact or in NJPW for a spell, or if the Blackpool Combat Club showed to enter the Royal Rumble one year and wreaked havoc until they could finally be eliminated? Vince likes to style himself as a "visionary", but a REAL visionary like Tony Khan would strive to create a multiverse, rather than a monopoly.
Because of everything outside of wwe, (AEW, NJPW, AAA, IMPACT, NWA, MLW, NOAH, the Indy scene) this really is a new golden age of professional wrestling. I was a huge fan of the NWA in the 80s especially WCCW (im from Texas) and i haven’t enjoyed wrestling as much as I am now since those days. (I personally think the “attitude era” is overrated, but ECW was great.)
@@jordannewsom3606 it wasn’t the “best” that wrestling ever was. And I know about “the ratings.” But also the Jerry Springer show had really good ratings, it doesn’t mean it was actually any good. The late 90s were the peak of “trash tv.” That is very well known.
Omega return during the crossover would be NUCLEAR. I'm going to jump up and down screaming and pointing at whatever screen I'm watching. Hell, if I'm a conspiracy theorist, I would say something about Omega time off is to build anticipation for this crossover.
The *Forbidden Door* was just the term used through the past 2 years when a collective of wrestlers appeared in one, two or three promotions. Now, that became a big event to remember. P.S: *The United Empire* vs *The Dark Order* is the clash I want to see.
40 years ago (1982), the wrestling universe was full of crossover events. The NWA was still the most powerful organization in the business, with members in the United States, Canada, Mexico & Japan. WWF/WWE was the Northeastern US territory, also a member of the NWA, and Vincent J McMahon (Stephanie & Shane's grandfather) was a member of the NWA Board of Directors. You had NWA Champion Harley Race facing WWF Champion Superstar Billy Graham in title vs title matches. Wrestlers travelled freely between the 25 full-time promotions in the U.S., Canada & Japan...without having to change their names or characters when they did. In St. Louis, you had the stars of NWA, WWF, AWA & Japan all coming in for the cards of legendary promoter Sam Muchnick
I know this isn’t gonna happen, but it would be cool if there were a lot of Japanese people that made the trip from Japan for this show, I think it would be cool to see how an aew crowd would seem to a njpw Japanese crowd bc there style of watching and cheering are so much different
I would love to see Ospreay vs Rey Fénix, Okada vs Danielson and ZSjr vs Daniel García as an upgrade for the last one. Forbidden Door could become an annual event, and for that reason i think that we're not see every bullet on the pistol inmediatly
The 2016-2020 timeframe is amazing, but man, it goes back to 2012 with the Rainmaker Upset. I mean, Okada vs Tanahashi is one of the all time great feuds. And, well, can you imagine we are going to have Okada, Tanahashi and Naito in a big U.S show other than the awesome MSG ppv. You can pick any AEW top star and put in a match against any one of these 3... CINEMA. Won't have Punk x KENTA, but pretty much anything would be soooo good. Also, I felt the bit about your dad, sorry to hear that.
I'm psyched for the possibility of ZSJ vs Danielson 2. CM Punk vs Will Ospreay would be the Punk match I want to see. Ishii vs Miro would be wild. Omega vs Okada has got to happen at some point.
I hope it's a PPV length event so I can stream it to my friends who aren't wrestling fans, it won't get them into most likely, but It'll certainly be fun af
Omg same tranquilo club I bonded over wrestling with my step father Gary Bryan Preston we watched all of wcw WWE WWF eras and he introduced me to NJPW pro wrestling as well I wish he was here he sadly passed away around of may 27th 2017 around that time period and AEW has helped me cope with the death of my step father
New Japan had a working relationship with ROH so with the merger this isn’t all that surprising. It’s cool that NJPW got a lil upgrade from ROH to AEW matchups, and the level of talent that AEW has rn means we can get some pretty dope match ups. I don’t expect this show being the big one yet but it’s gonna come soon enough
Imagine how much fun Chris Jericho and JAS can have insulting fans over the hype for the big wrestling crossover and threatening to ruin it with "sports entertainment"!
Punk vs Okada Danielson vs Ospreay Omega vs Ibushi Naito vs Moxley Hangman vs Tanahashi Bucks vs LIJ vs GoD Adam Cole vs Kenta Just the beginning of my fantasy booking.
Not only does WWE not label itself a wrestling company, but Vince has publically corrected people who call it a wrestling company, telling them that it isn't.
My first thought when it came to the two biggest wrestling promotions in the world was alright where are you going with this. My followup thought was yup absolutely agree and understand
Wrestling just won't be the same for me the day Kenny hangs it up and walks away. Nothing in wrestling has ever captivated me the way his performances in the ring have and the stories he's been a part of. This forbidden door show feels like a full circle moment.
On one hand, I'd really like to see Mox Vs. Shibata. On the other hand, I'm genuinely afraid that somebody might actually die if that match went down. And coming completely out of left field... Taguchi Vs. Dustin. 2 senior members of their respective locker rooms who can still really go when the occasion calls for it. We already know that Dustin still has it, but this would be a great opportunity to remind people of what Taguchi is really capable of.
We should also thank Tanahashi and Jericho for this, they planted them seeds for the fans to believe that there could be a possibility of this partnership and first coined to word of Forbidden Door, even though i know TK and TO work tirelessly backstage to make all this happened. So maybe we can have a Tokyo superdome kind of arenas in states, someday,
Danielson vs ZSJ, Or maybe even better Danielson vs Okada….. Imagine that war we would see. And omg if we see Ibushi and Kenny in the ring that will be a great moment
The thing that keeps me skeptical is the type of wrestling NJPW and AEW will put. Will they put a japanese style match or will they adapt for the US audience with a ROH/NWA style matches. All I know is the young bucks, kenny, and those associated with the elite haven't put viewership up. If anything, CM Punk and Danielson have carried the company sustainability because they adapt and can work with any style. Either the Elite need to adapt or the crossover would sound more like a fanservice for hardcore fans rather than increasing viewership and popularity in pro wrestling. WWE has the edge because of presentation a different pace of wrestling on top of taking their product mainstream. Will the current product work to take AEW mainstream? How can AEW sell psychology, storytelling, selling, working etc when their matches revolve around shock value and cheap pops? Who will tell Tony Khan that he needs to present himself differently on social media and TV to be seen serious? Hangman is a joke based on a lot of casual people I would refer to watch AEW and the product looks silly at times like trying to eat a 3 course meal in 10 minutes. AEW needs to adapt some of its wrestling to see increase and retention.
(Really depends who is champion and if Kenny comes back. Here's if Kenny isn't wrestling and Hangman/Okada are champions): Okada vs Cole for IWGP (Kenny shows up at the end), Jay White vs Hangman for AEW, Cm Punk vs Kenta, Blackpool Combat Club vs Suzuki Gun (Suzuki, ZSJ, and idk, Archer? Or Taichi?), United Empire (Ospreay and Aussie Open) vs Death Triangle, G.o.D. vs FTR vs Young Bucks, House of Black vs House of Torture, and Toru Yano + Taguchi vs Orange Cassidy + Danhausen because I need the lolz
I'm glad they were able to bring all this back together. I was worried for awhile aew was going to stay WWE light. I hope hangman beats cm punk. In any way shape or form. Maybe kenta will interfere again.

I feel so lucky to witness it all, I hope to snag the tickets, it's gonna be a blast!
Bag secured, gonna witness history!
Love when you post video u make my day ;)
This is the Tekken X Street Fighter of professional wrestling (*-* )
The Bullet Club is fine and the Bullet Club is MINE ...so good
Your dad would be proud. Keep up the hard work!
On one hand, I'd really like to see Mox Vs. Shibata. On the other hand, I'm genuinely afraid that somebody might actually die if that match went down.
And coming completely out of left field... Taguchi Vs. Dustin.
2 senior members of their respective locker rooms who can still really go when the occasion calls for it. We already know that Dustin still has it, but this would be a great opportunity to remind people of what Taguchi is really capable of.
lol yeah, Mox vs Shibata would be awesome but idk if they'd both be able to walk out of the ring
You should definitely make a fantasy booking video
How about this... Forbidden Door II, June 2023... Tokyo Dome *mic drop*
I hope this will be an annual event or maybe a bi - annual event.
Prayers to your dad. He will watch it with you!
It was an amazing moment. And this is an awesome video 🥳🥳❤️
Unrelated but I liked your previous opening music more
Danielson vs Ibushi w/ Omega in his corner and Kenny has to stand there and watch as Dragon kicks Kota’s head in
I just saw Forbidden Door and it was a stellar ppv.
Very Good Video As Always #TranquiloClub is The Worldwide Leader in Pro Wrestling Videos on YT
Switchblade vs omega is all i need
Hiromu vs Darby please!!!!!
Yes please!!!! Have Darbz win by rollup, Hiromu wins back the Jr Title, badabing- Darby vs. Hiromu 2 for the IWGP Jr Heavyweight Title!
I’m excited can’t wait the future looks bright in WRESTLING.
not sports entertainment👎.
We should also thank Tanahashi and Jericho for this, they planted them seeds for the fans to believe that there could be a possibility of this partnership and first coined to word of Forbidden Door, even though i know TK and TO work tirelessly backstage to make all this happened. So maybe we can have a Tokyo superdome kind of arenas in states, someday,
DC and Marvel did go head to head in the 90s if I remember correctly.
Danielson vs ZSJ, Or maybe even better Danielson vs Okada….. Imagine that war we would see. And omg if we see Ibushi and Kenny in the ring that will be a great moment
As a Kiwi and wrestling fan. I'm so happy one of the best wrestlers in the world is from NZ!
The thing that keeps me skeptical is the type of wrestling NJPW and AEW will put. Will they put a japanese style match or will they adapt for the US audience with a ROH/NWA style matches. All I know is the young bucks, kenny, and those associated with the elite haven't put viewership up. If anything, CM Punk and Danielson have carried the company sustainability because they adapt and can work with any style. Either the Elite need to adapt or the crossover would sound more like a fanservice for hardcore fans rather than increasing viewership and popularity in pro wrestling. WWE has the edge because of presentation a different pace of wrestling on top of taking their product mainstream. Will the current product work to take AEW mainstream? How can AEW sell psychology, storytelling, selling, working etc when their matches revolve around shock value and cheap pops? Who will tell Tony Khan that he needs to present himself differently on social media and TV to be seen serious? Hangman is a joke based on a lot of casual people I would refer to watch AEW and the product looks silly at times like trying to eat a 3 course meal in 10 minutes. AEW needs to adapt some of its wrestling to see increase and retention.
This is the biggest crossover within the last 20 years (obviously), but it doesn't really mean much outside of the core fanbase.
I really hope that we get the match that COVID stole from us on wrestle mania weekend orange Cassidy vs Minoru Suzuki
ORANGE CASSIDY VS YANO IN A MIMOSA-MAYHEM-WITH-A-DVD-ON-A-POLE-IN-THE-MIDDLE-OF-THE-POOL MATCH! BOOK IT!
Yes do a fantasy booking episode
Just with the matches Punk and Bryan can have alone you have main events for like the next 10 supercards atleast
(Really depends who is champion and if Kenny comes back. Here's if Kenny isn't wrestling and Hangman/Okada are champions): Okada vs Cole for IWGP (Kenny shows up at the end), Jay White vs Hangman for AEW, Cm Punk vs Kenta, Blackpool Combat Club vs Suzuki Gun (Suzuki, ZSJ, and idk, Archer? Or Taichi?), United Empire (Ospreay and Aussie Open) vs Death Triangle, G.o.D. vs FTR vs Young Bucks, House of Black vs House of Torture, and Toru Yano + Taguchi vs Orange Cassidy + Danhausen because I need the lolz
i really wish that the forbidden door ppv should be held on a stadium
I'm glad they were able to bring all this back together. I was worried for awhile aew was going to stay WWE light. I hope hangman beats cm punk. In any way shape or form. Maybe kenta will interfere again.
