AEW better make some hay with him while they can. Not sure how long his contract is, but I bet he'll end up in NJPW permanently sooner than later. They need a new Ace and he'll be it imo.

Apparently he likes living in America and he would be taking a big pay cut if he left AEW for NJPW.

Yea, I’m not too excited about this matchup. For one, I think Gunther is beyond being a punching bag for the oldies, save that for Jey. But in all reality, is the whole “let’s have the legends return and do one last match” really worth potential injury to the legend and/or the current superstar? Just seems gimmicky.

Well... It's WWE. You have to think in cartoon or comic book terms when you watch WWE. WWE has never been grounded in reality. They could bring Flair back and expect you to believe he could beat Cena lol.

On another note. I don't know if it's just me, but something doesn't look right with Sheamus. He was gassed 5 minutes into the match. Last couple of matches I've seen him in, something just seems off with him. Like he is really laboring. Don't know. Can't put my finger on it.

Meanwhile you’ll have Omega v Okada on the same day, albeit a PPV vs free.

I don't agree. Breakker is not at that level yet.

Do you think that could be the beginning of getting him there? He's pretty clearly going to be one of their main guys for the next decade or so...why not let him annihilate Goldberg?

1. From what I recall, Goldberg and Little Steiner are pretty close, so maybe that giant ego of Bill's won't get in the way.
2. Are we maybe overappreciating who and what Goldberg was? I mean, he was only on top for a few years and when they did finally beat him, they kind of made a joke of him. IDK...maybe thats just me.

I think you are underappreciating what Goldberg was to the business. He's a legend. A Hall of Famer. Breakker has never had a title run, except NXT. Breakker is still kind of green. I don't think of him as a main event guy at all on his own. He is in a group that will elevate him a bit, but he needs that elevation. Casual fans have no idea who Bron Breakker is. He is the future for sure. He will have his time against some legend down the road I'm sure, to put him over as a main guy. But he's not ready.

Maybe Bron isn't the right guy. But I don't think Gunther is either. The retiring guy is supposed to take the pin to help get a younger guy over. Gunther doesn't need the rub.

I will agree with that too. In a sense. I feel like Gunther's character was degraded a bit when he lost the title to Uso. I never felt like he should have dropped the title to Jey, but they needed to make another huge baby-face for when Cody and Seth take their long absences lol. I felt like it should have been Sami, not Jey. But that's just me. I was happy that Uso won, but honestly, his title run was one of the weaker runs I've seen in a while. I guess Jey is just going to be the new perpetual overachiever.

That being said, I feel like Gunther has to go over on Goldberg to re-assert his character as this monster heel.
