LUKE: The best ones will be read on the WrestleTalk Podcast

Comments

FelKat

I might be looking too much into it. But did Kenny take the advice Sullivan gave him in TLC?

Noah Fortner

While I’m not disappointed with Darby being the final man on team Brisco but I was really hoping it was going to be revealed as Lio Rush

Team HAMMA FIST

Not to be a Pessimistic Perry, but what exactly about this year’s Forbidden Door is so “Forbidden”? So far I clock only Starlight Kid and Zack Sabre Jr. as stepping through that eponymous Door. I have no doubt the show will be banging more than Will Ospreay on his wedding night, but maybe it’s time to retire the crossover gimmick PPV? Also didn’t Pork Knuckle wrestle for TNA in like 2008?

AhrBee

Nothing will ever be funnier to me than Daniel Garcia nodding along with Mox while being "choked" with his shirt by Ospreay.

Wheels

Every time swerve and Osprey getting the ring together whether it’s a match or a segment the energy in the room changes and it seems like something special always happens. Even if it’s simple it’s still memorable. And the fact that Mox of all people is teaching him patience is a nice touch THIS. IS. STORYTELLING.

Don

Solid dynamite. Mercedes/Hazuki was my match of the night. Ciampa is also the IWC world champ I think Andrade leaves the dcf after the ppv, but when callis picked the team did anyone else notice how upset brain cage and Trent were that they weren't picked? I think this episode is the start of the dcf Civil War especially with how Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher were also butting heads. Adding Swerve to the mix helps solidify the Ospreay/DR as the best story in wrestling right now. Makes me wonder if Swerve will take the title off Mox. I wonder of there's a way to hire Mox as my life coach. Can't wait for these stories to play out and I'm super excited for the forbidden door card

Jamaal Ellison

So call me crazy, but this is probably the last forbidden door right?

Jamaal Ellison

It feels a bit like a demotion. He was just the World Champion.

Colin Piper

Been listening for about a year and a half and this is my first comment, and I thought this episode was a ton of fun! By the 12-man tag match I was so entertained by all the relationships of the wrestlers I almost forgot MJF and Mark Briscoe were the focal point Jam that jam

Jamaal Ellison

On second thought, I guess we treat this like Survivor Series?

Pogo is here

Mone reminding everyone why she's the GOAT

Luther Black

There’s that old adage from The Death of WCW that says when a promotion is hot, they can do no wrong, but when they’re not, they can do no right. AEW was so red hot for so long that week after week, especially during Darby’s title run, it felt like a perfect wrestling show. Lately, I don’t know, there are more and more things that break immersion for me. The intensity was absolutely there between Swerve and Will, but the words were kinda sloppy and didn’t make sense. Ospreay acknowledges that Swerve’s knee was blown out but he’s angry that he didn’t climb a steel cage to save him from having his neck broken, meanwhile he just yada yadas that he forgave the death riders… who broke his neck? And then it’s not like Jon Moxley has the title again, so I don’t understand why Hangman not being there or world champion is relevant. I love these two and the match is going to be amazing, but it felt like every segment tonight had something like that where it didn’t quite land. I am curious about Brody King though. He seemed a little irritated by Bandido and did not have the same enthusiasm despite a really impressive win. Still a pretty good show, and I love how interwoven and alive the AEW world feels, but it feels like momentum is waning a little.

Christian Conway

Was there live for this (what a crowd) and I was a little wary going in considering how little was announced in advance. Great episode with one of the best women’s matches I’ve seen all year in Hazuki/Mercedes. 13 man was fun with so many overlapping storylines. Highlight for me was the Ospreay and Swerve promo segment, really got me hyped for the match and like the added detail of the deathriders coming to Will’s aid after he pointed out that Swerve didn’t. Lovely storytelling

Lawson Douvier

Quick notes: Hazuki is incredible, and Mone always hooks me by the end. Don is just the best on commentary. The eventual Kyle Fletcher/Takeshita (possibly Okada, too) is going to be a strong MOTY contender. Billy Gunn will only be better than three others this week.

Randy Bobandy

Going to Munich next week. Any bar suggestions??

Jeremiah Culver

Was a great show. I know people loved it, but that swerve and Ospreay talking segment went on wayyy too long for me. Felt my hand reaching for my phone cause I was just waiting for something to happen.

Brady Murphy

I thought this was a really strong episode with some great wrestling and great storyline advancements. The highlights were Mercedes vs Hazuki, Will and Swerve’s promo, and the main event (both for the wrestling and the great character interactions and stories). The most important piece of tonight’s episode for me was a taste of Main Event Jake Doyle. I have been a fan of Jake Something/Doyle for a while now and while I acknowledge he lacks the star power of his cohorts, I think he could really be something coming out of this spotlight. Coming out of this episode I look forward to Andrade leaving the Don Callis Family. While Forbidden Door has me very excited for matches like Omega v ZSJ and Moxley v Bandido. This year’s build and event shows that it is time to retire the PPV, or Tony Khan just needs to really lock in with the gimmick and put on dream matches between AEW and NJPW/CMLL/Stardom etc.

Jeremiah Culver

I agree with all of this. Really just the Swerve Ospreay segment. They have aura and the match will be awesome, but this segment did not make much sense. Cope’s promo right after Christian’s did not land. More good than bad for me but these really stood out since AEW is hot rn

Bobo Jacobo

With how much they keep taunting Andrade with the title, I would like to see him take the belt off of MJF. I fear he’s gonna get a random shot on a random Dynamite prior to All Out, lose via DCF shenanigans , and become relegated to the mid-card title scene. I’d love a match with Takeshta, but he deserves more

Brady Murphy

I have to physically restrain my fingers every week on these threads to not write paragraph on paragraph about Jon Moxley, Will Ospreay, and the Death Riders. I am enraptured with these stories, every detail, every connection. It’s my favorite thing in professional wrestling this year.

Jimmys Stuff

Maybe I'm a AEW sicko but I was truly sick this week with bronchitis so I needed a show like this to lift my spirits. Hot damn a nice squash match to let you know Kenny Omega is on the move to the world title. D-Riders tag was awesome. Mercedes Monet: the best wrestler in the world? Maybe? And the March towards the Don Callis Blood and Guts match continues. I had Fun.

Marlo Ramirez

Loved the cutscene video on Eternals last week, but the tier ranking segment made me think. Are the Eternals better or worse than Billy Gunn?

Kitty Kat

Fantastic Dynamite! Will's story has been the best thing in wrestling right now and Swerve's promo was excellent, incredible f-bomb too. With the way the show keeps hinting at Hangman returning, I'm wondering if he comes back at Forbidden Door or Redemption. I really miss the cowboy... Also Mercede's and Hazuki may have had one of the best matches this year. They really made me believe Hazuki was going to win

Wyatt Ready

It could be a 2 hour show of just will osprey and the death riders story and I would be tuned in for every second. This is the best story in Pro wrestling

“Burly” Rob Burwell

I just have to say that Thekla is so damn cool! She has a cadence and way of speaking that Lori Petty has as Livewire in Superman The Animated Series. Thekla should play Livewire in the next Superhero or Supergirl movie. I’m merging my WrestleTalk & CutScene thoughts!

BlackYakuzu94

Death Riders son or Bloodline Daughter

BlackYakuzu94

Very much an angle focused show given there were only four matches, and one of them was a squash. But I thought the segments were VERY good. Swerve and Ospreay had the best segment; not as good as the one last year with Ospreay and Hangman, but Swerve made EXCELLENT points about Will's priorities regarding the Death Riders, especially when they came to bail him out in the end.

Victor Oceguera

What a fantastic episode of dynamite so happy brodido is back and My prediction for the cage match is Briscoe is gonna lose the match but get saved by his friends but Mjf will be in the same predicament but will lose because you true friends are something money cannot buy and his teammates won’t save him because only Don likes him I will be in attendance for forbidden door what card

RLT Sandwich

I agree with some of the other comments that it might be a good idea to retire Forbidden Door. It's really just an AEW PPV with a couple of other wrestlers from other companies...which isn't all that different from a lot of AEW shows. Plus, the seeds being planted about "Redemption" makes Forbidden Door feel like Elimination Chamber. It's that other show we have to do before we get to the show we really want to do.

COMPANY NETWORK

****. I was there, 2nd row, at the lovely 81,000 attended Wembley Stadium for All In '24. I was there, at Y'All In '25, 1st row, when Dustin won gold, Cole semiretired, an2d Page was the hero. Anybody who gets to attend All In this year is going to have the time of their life. I wish I could make this event with my British friends for Ospreay's ascension. However at least my friends in the U.S. of A... have WrestleTalk. I am that I am.

B3nasaurusR3x

It’s so radical how Andrade has gone from ending his first AEW run to being discarded after the Death Star totally wasted him to being maybe my favorite wrestler right now. “How you know?” is sweeping the nation and the guy’s gimmick is taking off his pants. What a dude.

David Maltby

I hate to say it but 'The Dogs' do absolutely nothing for me at all. There doesn't feel like there's anything unique about their act, all three of them are interchangeable with any other guy and nothing about it would change. The 'We're all crazy' thing just doesn't work for me, it's all surface level and boring with no depth at all to their characters. Hopefully I'm wrong and they develop overtime but for the moment it's just a bit tiresome.

Cameron

Great show! However; Will/Swerve felt a little corny to me. The delivery was great, but the material was a bit lackluster.

Diarmuid Burke

Kenny is an all-timer in the ring, but BY GOD his promos are awkward and cringey right now. He should probably stick to "aura farming" as the kids say.

Lando

Honestly. It feels so refreshing that Im enjoying every storyline. The only one I'm not too into is Cage and Christian, it's not bad, it's just the least engaging of all the stories on the show. But, as Oli "Allegedly" once said... I'll let them cook

Diarmuid Burke

Also having now finished the show: Daniel Garcia is the best part of the Death Riders and I'm sick of pretending otherwise

Kevin Fleuriot

Somehow, on a night where Mone and Hazuki gave us one of the best TV matches of the year, Will and Swerve had an excellent promo battle, Thekla continues to be the coolest and we have a very fun main event segment, my favorite thing on the show was Andrade being the agent of chaos and laughing his ass off when Doyle yanked MJF's arm

Kevin Fleuriot

Yeah, same as last year, Forbidden Door is just another PPV now, which is unfortunate but should be expected since everyone from NJPW goes to AEW

Brent

I truly like this version of Mone who hasn't said much but you tell that she changed through her actions. Even her ring gear is saying everything about her. I'm kinda with everyone else about Forbidden Door needs to retire if it's going to be an AEW show with NJPW, CMLL, and Stardom stars sprinkled in. Thelka is showing how a Forbidden Door match should be which she is killing it right now. I feel like maybe having the show in either in Mexico or Japan might save the concept. This Forbidden Door show is going to be a great AEW show but in spirit, not a great show because the concept isn't really there.

Vic Cutting

So, amazing dynamite, but I do think forbidden door should be rebranded because visas are making it impossible. Very disappointed that the cage match is just aew guys, but bandido moxley will be amazing

Daniel Kennedy

Never been more convinced that we're getting Mox vs Swerve at All In.

Mohammed Albanai

I might be alone here but I feel like the andrade "how you know" isn't working for me. It feels like he's saying just for the sake of saying it without a set up or organic way for it to come. When I compare it to when okada says bitch, okada is always set up well and feels natural.

Luther Black

Exactly. It didn’t upset me and I enjoyed the show, but it felt kinda lazy at points. Like why are we putting attitude era tag teams who aren’t in AEW over??

COMPANY NETWORK

The Dogs will get you for spouting such rudeness!

Stew Sizer

One great match, one great promo. Why is Forbidden Door still a thing?
