I wonder if the final will be Okada v Takeshita??

if I'm booking, I'm doing Fletcher vs Takeshita and Okada vs Dorada in the semis, and obviously Okada vs Takeshita in the final

EDIT: depends when TK wants to pull the pin on the DeathRiders though

i like surprises, so would prefer it not be so 'obvious' Fletcher dropping the TNT could be that surprise, but I think you're 100% correct here.

Interesting having JetSpeed in the same league, but they can have a face vs face, handshakes before and after etc. But even more interesting having Mox/Castagnoli same league too. Could a face turn come for one of those two? Ie mox wins, Claudio no longer good enough, Claudio wins, mox not good enough to lead anymore.

Expecting Strong to join Death Riders too sometime soon.

 

[Cleavy]

I figure they might do Claudio/Mox on the final Dynamite before Worlds End.

What are rules for continental title?!

What are rules for continental title?!

same as the C2. 20 min time limit, no outside interference and no-one at ringside

 

[mickelboy182]

The C2 is always fun, but the lineup this year has me salivating. Okada being pinned by Takeshita will no doubt royally piss off the non-AEW NJPW fans.

Does Okada lose the belt if he doesn't win?!

Yeah, stacked field

he would lose it (the Continental Championship) if he doesn't win the tournament. The International Title would no longer be unified.

That's too obvious. It would defeat the purpose of a tournament imo. These guys don't need a tournament to face each other. They already have heat.

I know the no one at ringside rules, but if these two can somehow bypass that and sabatage each others matches so they lose. It will build even more heat between them.

could hide under the ring

 

[mickelboy182]

I'd imagine NJPW is also pretty invested in protecting both guys considering their prominent matches at WK

 

[Cleavy]

LFG!

LFG!

PPV quality card on paper

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Youd have to imagine the Mox/Castagnoli match is going to have a big spark that sets off the eventual downfall of the Death Riders.

Fair to say the start of the tournament has delivered.

 

[Cleavy]

someone suggested that neither of them make the semi finals, so we end up with an all-star tag match (vs Death Riders) at Worlds End, and we get the blow-up there.

Red Velvet is not very good, and please never have Statlander on commentary again.
