Looks like we’re getting Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada at Forbidden Door! > **[Bryan Danielson Challenges Kazuchika Okada To Match At Forbidden Door -...](https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1304368/bryan-danielson-challenges-kazuchika-okada-forbidden-door/)** > > AEW's Brian Danielson has sent for Kazuchika Okada at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2 in Toronto, Canada on June 25. This is a dream match, and one I’ve been hoping would happen ever since Bryan left WWE. Tony Khan has earned my $60 for the PPV. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > On Saturday night in Seattle, Nick Wayne, the 17-year-old prodigy who’s been setting the indies on fire for the last two years, beat Shane Strickland to win the DEFY championship. > > After the match, Strickland took the mic and announced that he was requesting his rematch for the July 12 episode of Dynamite, two days after Wayne’s 18th birthday. Well, looks like Wayne won’t be bringing the DEFY title to AEW - he dropped it to KENTA, of all people, at last night’s show. It’s crazy how many big names DEFY manages to get to wrestle in an old ballroom in front of 700 people, but I guess the owner has lots of money to throw around from his side gig in the entertainment industry. ---

Gotta give props to MJF for his promo last night on Adam Cole. He had several “Oh, he went there” moments. He didn’t mention WWE or NXT specifically, but he did name drop Vince McMahon, who didn’t think Cole was main event material and considered making him Keith Lee’s manager. He also said Cole had the frailty and physique of a crack whore. Cole indeed hasn’t fully fleshed out after recovering from injuries, but dammmmmn. Cole didn’t lack confidence in his comebacks, but he didn’t go nearly as low as MJF. MJF also once called Takeshita “Take-a-shit-a.” ---

CM Punk’s re-re-return to the ring is next Saturday at the debut episode of Collision, where he’ll be teaming up with FTR against Bullet Club, represented by Jay White, Juice Robinson, and Samoa Joe. The Chicago crowd is going to go apeshit for him no matter what. Hopefully he’ll be able to act like an adult this time. ---

MJF is definitely good on the microphone and I’ve never seen what was so great about Adam Cole. No idea how he hangs on to a trophy like Britt Baker… (punctuate with your finger here) D!..M!..D! But MJF is too tiny to make it to the big time. Sure, Vince would hire him tomorrow if he was available, but he’ll look like a child even next to other midget wrestlers like AJ Styles. Cole is also too small, all of the pillars have a home in the Lilliputian AEW, the WWE not so much. Love the crack whore dig though. Was Cole implying that MJF stuffed his trunks? Pretty good counter punch if that was it. ---

Hey, I paid $20 to have my picture taken with Adam Cole, so back off! 🙂 Cody said he had disagreements with Omega and the Bucks over their West Coast style, which is faster and relies on usually smaller athletes (and women) to pull off those movesets. It takes some creative booking to make those styles mesh with the old school “bigger is better” approach to make the contestants look more evenly matched. Just ask Rey Mysterio. ---

for the first time, i actually watched the last nxt event (the same night of the Saudi thing)and yeah great talents that weren’t ready for prime time …but the dumbest thing was the two german or russian guys putting on an s&m display and the one getting tied up in the ropes that looked like he could have pulled his arms out at any time and yeah if you’d ever watched old WCW/nwa you’d know breaker was a Steiner …there’s a reason his dad was called “the dog-faced gremlin” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/any-pro-wrestling-fans-in-the-audience-multiple-promotions-part-2/964374.md?page=44) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/any-pro-wrestling-fans-in-the-audience-multiple-promotions-part-2/964374.md?page=46)
