Jeremy Finestone and Steven Conway are joined by Mel Gray from the Powerbombshells to talk Forbidden Door 2. Mel was in attendance live and brought her perspective to being in the audience for the all-time great Kenny Omega-Will Ospreay match. She also opened up about why Bryan Danielson's decision to work a seizure during his match with Kazuchika Okada stirred such strong emotions, and why it was in such poor taste. The trio broke down what was otherwise a mostly excellent show, including a wonderful 10-man tag team match featuring Jon Moxley and his allies against The Elite, Konosuke Takeshita and Eddie Kingston, a fun four-way match featuring Orange Cassidy, Zack Sabre Jr., Katsuyori Shibata and Daniel Garcia, a good women's title match featuring Toni Storm and Willow Nightingale, and CM Punk embracing the bad guy role against Satoshi Kojima, who lost the match but won Twitter for the week. They also covered Sting and Hiroshi Tanahashi's rough night, plus why the show was a missed opportunity for SANADA. This is the show that looks at Forbidden Door from a proper New Japan perspective!
