Take me to your Shida



Hello friends and welcome to another round of the AEW prediction game, this time featuring guest star NJPW

Here is the Form - https://forms.gle/euCiZsfogKjkszRT7

I don't want to wait until Saturday night to post this to find out who Darby and Sting's partner is so if you want to wait until then to predict that's fine, but I'm not letting anyone who predicts before then change their answers.

Here are the criteria I use for point values (in no particular order)
1: Match importance
2: General Hype
3: My own hype
4: How hard it could be to predict

The new Final Fantasy rules and this ppv is probably going to be the only time all weekend that I'm not playing it so tell me, if you were a Dominant what Eikon would choose you?

That's between Tony Khan and God. The longer I wait to post the fewer people play, I'm fine with missing an undercard/zero hour match or two when given that choice.

I feel like this is one of the most predictable cards they've had outside of a couple matches so I'm ready to be insanely wrong

The two main events, BCC vs the Elite, and maaaaaybe OC losing his title, but beyond that, yeah, this show feels very predictable.

Just realized there's no trios or tag title matches. That's kinda weird

I feel like this show will have more predictable outcomes than a lot of the other ppvs but maybe there'll be a few surprise winners

turn it all around

I am zero percent sure on my top picks but if I lose I’ll still have watched an insane several hours of pro wrestling

Couldn’t risk booking YOSHI-HASHI on the show because there’d be a riot in Toronto trying to get into the building to see him. Need to book a full stadium for that.

I think it's more unpredictable than last year since the three top matches all feel like they could go either way to me even if the current percentages don't bear that out.

I refuse to know what an Eikon is, so I will pick Steve. Steve the Eikon.

My write-in vote is that JJJ will win whatever tag belts NJPW has.

My Eikon, if he were one in this universe, would be the Fat Chocobo.

Also, FF XVI slaps, I’m taking my time and enjoying the hell out of it.

E: this PPV will also be only chunk of time this weekend I’m not playing it so I relate, IcePhoenix. Thanks for putting this together as always!

Submitted after the Collision announcement.

As for FFXVI, I don't see it on Steam or Epic yet. It's clearly not released. I don't know what you are talking about.
