NJPW controls the booking of the IWGP US title, right?

I imagine Tony has to get them to sign off on title matches, and they will have approval on finishes, yes.

Also, if Danielson and Punk are coming in, they're saving that for something like All Out or the Wednesday before the first Rampage.

That's what I was wondering about.
Does Tony ask if he can change the title and they sign off on it, or did NJPW call em and say "put that belt on Archer"?

It's very possible New Japan asked if Archer was available to work Mox on their August PPV, and Tony suggested the title switch to allow a rematch.

Also I really dig how long the Andrade vs. Death Triangle stuff was and how it just swapped between languages.

As great as Alex is, I'm not sure he was needed, especially with Fenix miming what Penta was saying. If you're familiar with basically any of the Romance languages, it's pretty clear what he was saying and his delivery does the rest.

The 5 trials should have been one of those multi-layered final bosses from the SNES Final Fantasy games like Kefka.

Also I didn't notice in the recap til now but Miro was wearing a Bloodsport jacket? I'm absolutely buying that show if/when it happens. Bloodsport in general is always rock solid.

I’m very into the implication that Andrade’s going to have to have a tag team that “works for him” now that the Lucha Bros have turned him down and he’s gone and gotten himself in a trios match with Death Triangle. Absent a debut of someone like Rush/Ryu Lee, I wouldn’t hate them getting weird with it and trading out TH2’s neon for suits.

Don't joke about Death Triangle vs Los Ingobernables

It's cause they were meant to be on the road but the arena booking got rescheduled (presumably due to COVID issues) so they're going back to Daily's instead as cover

I wonder if Danielson does the G1 before going full time for AEW, like Mox did? He's definitely spoken about it like it was a goal for him at some point. It's one thing to do a 2 week quarantine if he's only doing one Dome show, but it's probably less of an ask to do it for a 3 week tour.

The Danielson stuff allegedly comes from that. The Punk thing comes from WWE apparently strongly believing he's signed with AEW.

...Danielson winning the US title would actually make a ton of sense. He gets to work New Japan dates and talent, and gets a featured, high profile spot in AEW without needing to crowd out someone else really.

I wore a mask at the Austin show and I was pleased to see a decent number of others still wearing them, too. It feels a little weird putting one on when most of the people there aren't wearing them, but that feeling wears off quickly. Do you!

I keep thinking - how the hell do you have Nick Gage do network TV? The dude was adamant that he be allowed to finish a match minutes before dying. I haven't closely followed his career, but he doesn't seem like the person that has an act that can be toned down - it's just 100% Nick Gage.

I'll find out Wednesday I guess.

I get the distinct impression people are overselling this. No way Jericho would've OK'ed the match if he wasn't certain. It's gonna be more like one of Jericho's Tokyo Dome matches than a full-on deathmatch. There'll be chairs and tables, but we're not getting lighttubes and glass in what's almost definitely the opener.

The clip of the set up for the Labours definitely makes it sound like MJF is match 5, but I assume he'll pull a bait and switch and want to whip Jericho like he did Cody or something instead.

I don't think a "TNT Title shot" is really a big enough carrot to make that idea work. You need something that's a big enough deal so Sammy doesn't look kind of selfish standing in Jericho's way and fighting him after he's been through hell. It could if you told a story where Sammy is willing to lay down, Jericho is a dick about it and expects him to, and Sammy gets mad and wants to prove himself or something like that. But that's not the Jericho story they're/he's telling so I wouldn't expect it.

A shot at Omega/Page after All Out might make sense.
