A few months ago the wrestling world was turned upside down with the announcement of the AEW/NJPW Forbidden Door PPV.

 

It seemed like the card was starting to take shape last week, but with an injury to CM Punk things changed. There are so many options, and possibilites for this incredible PPV that I needed some help to take a look and fantasy book this. So I reached out to former guest of the show and NEW commentator Justin Morrissette to take a look at some of the potential matches,

 

Both Justin and I came up with 10 match cards with what we think could possibly be the card, and have some fun with it along the way!! Some people get left off, some are in potential match of the year candidates, and I actually booked Toru Yano!
