Im super glad for this, thank you for covering it. NJPW is the company that made me fall all over in love with wrestling and I am here for the bad and the good.

Swerve's response was so f'ing perfectly executed.

Swerve shutting down MH as well was poetic. MH shaking his head while Swerve explaining how he is all over the show w/ countdown timers, shooting promos at home and etc

AEW and NJPW partnership is great would be great if we saw more excursions

Speaking of excursion, aew should really consider sending the top flight crew and private party to new Japan for a least 4 months

I have been saying for a long time that I would love to see several AEW wreatlers in the G1 Climax tournament. We see the same old wrestlers time after time. It would be exciting to see Top Flight and Private Party, in the Super Jr. Tag Team tournament.

I agree with the AEW excursion idea it actually helped recatapult Jack Perry before he came back to AEW. They have so many young stars who really aren't doing anything that they could send to represent AEW over in Japan and it could really help a bunch of them develop their craft by learning the Japanese style of wrestling. Hopefully there's more crossover between both companies because it does feel a bit one sided except on the occasion when you have a few big stars like Mox and Danielson make an appearance and im sure they're not super happy they lost most of their biggest stars like Okada and Ospreay to AEW.

2017 and 2018 NJPW was my fav time of wrestling and im including attitude era, etc...those 2 G1s were awesome...it made me fall back in love w/ pro wrestling

I whole heartedly agree with and relate to the refusal to use WWE specific terminology. I've resisted that myself. I never say "rivalry" I say feud. Never said live events, they're house shows Not WWE universe, they're fans. Not championship opportunity, but title shot. Not superstars, but wrestlers. Not medical facility, but hospital etc.. Having said that some of the younger fans who are in their 20s and WWE is all they've ever known, they have been successfully brainwashed and through no fault of theirs.

"Naito has no knees" LMAO, that was cold

While Hangman/Swerve Dog Collar moves me a lot, a 7 week world title run from Bryan where he defends every week and loses to swerve at wrestledream MOVES me a lot more

*What a maneuver* that *sports entertainer* preformed at the last *premium live event!*

lol.. I don't watch WWE, they really are calling it the Prohibited Porthole ? Sounds like a Janet Jacme movie from 1997 or something.. the Racial stuff with AEW now having black champs makes no sense.. from the start the company had black champions.. Scorpio Sky, Keith Lee and Strickland, Scorpio even was TNT champion, even representation in other cultures, as Lucha Bros also being tag champs, Nyla Rose also. Thunder Rosa.. AEW is very diverse. Name the Black wrestler before Swerve that could {should} have been champ.. you cant. Porque es nada .... oh and who can forget the experiment that was Jade? I have seen more diversity in AEW in 5 years, than the ..40 I spent watching WWE before I gave up on it.

Swerve handled that whole thing like a champ(no pun intended) lol they tried to get him with multiple “Anti-AEW” gotcha questions and he Swerved them😂 I’m done.

I think they can do with Ospreay and MJF chasing the belt, they're still young and they have time to tell this story. Danielson, however, has no time left, he was supposed to be already retired by this point, but luckily decided to stick around for a couple more months. I really think he should win the Owen Hart Cup and challenge for the belt. I also don't wanna see Swerve's reign to end abruptly, he is doing really well as the man in the company.

1- It’s great to see New Japan have long term and short term plans for there future. They need to get back on a good footing. 2- Swerve correcting Bully was was funny. People are just indoctrinated on the WWE and non WWE side. One says championship belt and the other championship title. I believe Bully didn’t mean to do it on purpose, it was just a natural reaction. Swerve didn’t have to act like a asshole because the way someone naturally react. 3- It’s great to see the main title/belt scene with the AEW title/belt has good legs for the future. I’m just brought back when a fatal 4 w/ MJF, jungle boy, Darby Allin, and Sammy Guevara. We all believed “XYZ” was going to happen, that guy is going to get a big, and this guy will win the belt. At the end of the day, MJF stayed champion, Darby continued to his streak to hurt his body, Sammy lowered to low mid card status, and Jungle Boy turned heel after beat up by CM Punk. I’m just going with the journey expecting none of my mental booking to happen. Keep expectations low and you will be disappointed. The only match I’m really excited to watch is Mina v Toni Storm. I’m not expecting a 7 star match or a match of the year contender. It oddly has my attention above anything coming for Forbidden Door this year. MJF will fight RUSH!!!!! RUSH in Forbidden Door!! Get me a more interesting wrestler.

Swerve interview was great but bruh that micro exchange wasn't that serious 😂

Black wrestlers have always been treated good with championships in aew: Jade, Scorpio Sky, Keith Lee, Will Hobbs, Swerve, Mercedes, and of course the 1st ever tnt champ Cody. All jokes aside. Its internet fans that hold aew to wwes standard even though it took wwe like 40 years.

Whenever it comes to NJPW, I Trust Rantin to let me know what's up in these videos!!!

It was interesting to see (5 years ago) how Bully started off being supportive of AEW. Since the time he got into it with TK. Bully has became noticeably against AEW. Which is kind of sad since it is jus job to be an analyst and provide unbiased commentary.

I got a feeling that Nigel McGuinness will play a role in causing Daniel the opportunity to go Wembley and they will go at it at All In.

Realistically we can see Tanahashi&Naito’s retirements coming like a freight train. The fans want to see them go with a bang. Both men deserve at least that. The fans deserve it too

I’m glad they’re revamping world. I wish they added CC for the old matches

The fact that Jon Moxley is current IWGP champions shows that NJPW still have a big problem deciding their next true main-eventer other than injury prone Naito... Either Sanada needs to step up his game because his reigns is kinda stale, or it's time for other midcard like Hiromu, Despy, Shingo, Yota, etc to step in to the spotlight

I’m sorry but I don’t want the title anywhere near MJF anytime soon. I get it he’s a mainstay but the shenanigans of his last few months as champ really tainted his run for me and a lot of ppl. It was very reminiscent of the Codyverse nonsense like that Anthony Ogogo match. Too convoluted and too much happening to even enjoy the wrestling component. I was happy to see him lose to Joe because I thought we needed a break at the time from the mjfverse. Also what do you think about the possibility of team AEW with Swerve on it and team Elite with Hangman and seeing that in a crazy match? I’m hoping that’s where this Elite story is heading. That blood feud him and Swerve had was amazing and Adam was pulling out some great unhinged character work that we wanted from him when we thought he might turn on Kenny.

Stardom needs an app. They also needs to get rid of the KOPW

What I noticed is if wrestlers signed to AEW aren't on AEW, they're on ROH or on the indies somewhere.

Thanks for the review ❤

The thing about including this guys in the BOSJ: you'll never make the loudest fans happy. They go - "Ew, gross. Why is AEW invading our company?" They don't go - "It's an uneven partnership!! Tony just wants to take out talent!"

I think there is no need for the global and the us stront titles...

Honestly the only reason why they're in this position is because new japan just wouldn't push new or young talent...like why isnt lio rush on roaster full time?? Or why are u just now pushing clark Connors just to name two....

Honestly I have no interest in seeing MJF with the belt again. He's back already doing the stuff that made me wanna stop watching. 20 minute promo, no wrestling, Worky McShoot Work, burying the roster. We're still in this struggle between gritty best in the world wrestling (Swerve, BCC, Copeland) and sports entertainment (Toni, the Elite, Jericho). MJF tips the balance.

Have no Problem with Moxley is IWGP Champion if the plan is to drop it at Forbidden Door. If not and the idea is to him to hold it Til WrestleKingdom, that’s when you lose me

I hate the "call it what it js" response from Bubba. Like no it's correct homie, this isn't semantics. PLE and PPV are different things entirely.

Step 3 seems to be a bit dubious because at the presser they talked as if they know some interference stuff is needed sometimes, but I do hope that it's reduced considerably or at least used effectively instead of just having HoT run-ins that don't equate to HoT actually winning. It benefits no one, turns into a circus real quick, and makes already lenient NJPW refs look outright toothless. Step 9 is just comical with context. Apparently someone in the front office lost a thumb drive with fan info.

Swerve is probably losing at FB so they can do Ospreay vs. MJF at Wembley. I hate TK's booking.

Bullet Club members have their own page on Wikipedia. Lol

It’s weird how WWE tries to dictate what seems to be even the smallest things. Premium live event. That in and of itself just sounds weird. No, it’s a pay per view. It really just shows the power of words. Another example, though it’s different. Renaming Walter Gunther. I know one reason they did that was to make money off of merch. But, he’s never going to be Gunther. To this day me and everyone I know who watches wrestling still call him Walter.
