Tony Schiavone recently discussed AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door II on his “What Happened When” podcast, where he expressed his privilege at being able to call the Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay match as well as the Bryan Danielson vs Kazuchika Okada match.
Schiavone referred to the Ospreay/Omega match as “one of the best matches ever,” before heaping praise on the two competitors. He said,
“There’s a lot of reasons this is one of the best matches ever. To me, Kenny Omega is one of the best performers I’ve ever been around in my life. Will Ospreay, I’ve seen some of his matches, but not as many as a lot of people who’ve followed New Japan Pro Wrestling. I have such a respect for both men and I knew going into it that this was going to be something special.”
The match was awarded a 6-star rating on the ‘Dave Meltzer scale,’ and a rubber match between the two men is being rumored for AEW All In 2023 at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
