1. Not religious in the slightest, but would pray for this match. Shibata wanted two opponents from AEW. He got the freshly squeezed one, now give him the American Dragon 🙏

2. Chris Nowinsky’s business card on a pole match

3. FIGHT FOREVER (but seriously please be careful we don’t want to see something bad happen to either of you)

   *CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP*

4. Hopefully without the AI smearing

5. That’s not Zach.

6. Last Man Thinking

7. I don’t think that’s a good idea. Also Shibata had his brain removed, per Meltzer.

8. Please don’t die……

   I dunno…………

9. If not ZSJ and if Shibata’s up to it oh yes

10. In a UWFi rules match.

11. if this match happens I can’t not wait for it if it happens, two wrestler who has a long history, of winning championship belts, from different wrestling promotions, and two wrestlers that has the same technique and style of wrestling submissions and strikes, i can’t not wait to see these guys wrestle against each other, i know it would be a great match to, see them wrestle against each other, but I can not imagine who would win, but I would imagine how the match would turn out tho, I can’t wait for this to happen if it happens either in aew or njpw.

12. Okay… I’m gonna say something here that I’m sure a lot of people aren’t going to like, and regardless of how many agree with me here I’m certain that I’m going to get downvoted to hell for this:

    I want to see this match badly. Just not on AEW. Infact, I don’t want Tony Khan having any input into what happens anywhere surrounding this hypothetical match.

    I’m a long time Cody, Kenny, Bucks guy. Hell they got me into New Japan. And the first… Let’s say year and a half of AEW was pretty amazing. Not so much once TK took over completely.

    TK can book this guy v this other guy very well, but you can tell the matches that he put together because they all look like Vince Russo’s time at WCW. Insane amounts of favoritism, a gallon of blood spilled for every big match and nonstop run-ins while the refs do nothing but count to 3.

    Danielson v Shibata would be freaking amazing as a 30 minute Wrestle Kingdom match. Not as an AEW match. NJPW’s WRESTLING product is so far ahead of any other company that it’s laughable. AEW focuses more on spectacle and that is not a Shibata match at all. Shibata matches are WRESTLING matches first, second, and third.

    These two deserve to go against each other in a wrestling match. Not a spectacle.

    That’s just my opinion.

13. I’m not even kidding when I say I’ve been terrified of this match since it was rumored they were both coming back. I don’t want it to happen because someone WILL die.

15. I hope so too. Because shibata won’t put up with Danielson’s bullsh t lack of selling or registering.

    If danielson immediately reverses something and screams for approval from the crowd and breaks psychology, shibata will kick him back into line like the vanilla midget that he is.
