HOLY FUCK TONY PAID FOR FINAL COUNTDOWN FJSKFKEBSHDJSJE

I had a hunch when someone on Reddit mentioned a bunch of Europe's tape catalog got sold yesterday

Gdi Danielson, baiting us all with that

[Zealot]

Fuck you Danielson, that was cheap, you know we love you.

Holy shit

[Krandor]

Holy shit he made Okada tap

[Krandor]

That was great but Omega Ospreay 110% the match of the night, probably match of the year.

[Delirium]

Fully expect Okada Danielson at WK at this point.

[Melena]

Wtf, everyone (including me) was expecting an Okada win.

Has Okada ever tapped before?

That match felt like an appetizer, definitely feeling like we will see Danielson/Okada 2 now.

I can't think of one since he came back from excursion, so it's been at least a decade

Could absolutely see them run that back at Wrestle Kingdom to give Okada the win back.

Edit : reddit tells me Nakamura made him tap in the G1 before

According to Reddit, 2015, Shinsuke Nakamura made him tap in the G1.

That's been the last time, so damn. That is a huge feather in Danielson's cap.

Jericho interrupted Sting (and Darby lol) at the scrum and challenged them to a Tornado Tag Match on Dynamite.

Sting/Darby vs Painmaker/Sammy

Edit: Fuck, Bryan thinks he fractured his right forearm. Thinking he'll be out 6-8 weeks.

[Krandor]

Apparently Jericho clocked some dude in the face with the water bottler he hit lol

[Tomiko]

Final Countdown and Many Men were one-time deals when he licensed the songs, but he (Tony) did say it was possible we could have them again in the future.

I see AG lurking the thread, but he never joins us.

Sweet Jesus the return of Devil's Sky AND Final Countdown?? And has Ospreay gone back to Elevated full-time? I remember being psyched when he brought it back at (I think) WK. Also holy fuck I can't believe Danielson tapped Okada...

No he definitely dropped Kenny straight on his head

You let go of the undercooks on the TD91, there is literally no way to not drop someone straight on their dome doing that move.

Kenny does the TD98 a lot which looks brutal but is so much safer

To shamelessly steal a comment from reddit that was shamelessly stolen from twitter: "That was a Tiger Driver 911".

Edit: I think if I had one detractor from the Omega/Okada match (besides the fucking stupid Tiger Driver 91), it would be Ospreay invoking Chris Benoit for heat. There was also a botched kickout by Ospreay after the Poison Rana into the Piledriver by Kenny, but who the fuck cares.

[NotGreyheim]

Also ZSJ is low-key one of the best to ever do it, and I won't hear anything to the contrary.

[Krandor]

I guess Danielson used that fake seizure spot to rework the match and let the ref/doc know what was up, but man feels like he could have picked something better than fucking faking a seizure.

He was not hiding that his arm was fucked up down the stretch, could have just used that.

And Kenny used Devil's Sky in AEW before defending the title against Jeff Cobb, seems to be busted out when he's working an NJPW match under the AEW banner. Elevated and Final Countdown hype as fuck though. Wonder if Tony paid for Elevated too since Ospreay hasn't been able to use it for a few years now.

[Krandor]

I still legit can't believe Tony cracked open the bank for Final Countdown. We're so lucky as fans to have some billionaire nerd weened on 2000s ROH as a guy running a wrestling fed
