rovert Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 It is Keith Lee guys. Tony Khan owns the trademark of the "Forbidden Door". And Bobby Fish was described as a "Forbidden Door" jump. I said on Thursday and The Observer had it Friday morning before Tony even mentioned the announcement. Quote

El-P Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 I mean, if the whole "Forbidden Door" stuff is just some gimmick line at this point and doesn't actually mean anything specific, Keith Lee is the most obvious choice by far considering the hype he's giving the announcement. Quote
Rah Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 “So there are a lot of possibilities and I don't want to get too specific on the speculation, but there's going to be somebody who's going to sign with AEW going forward and be a part of the company and as I also said, I would open the forbidden door, and without getting too specific to what that mean is, it's definitely opened up some speculation, but I think in a good way and I would be nervous or I wouldn't be feeling good right now if I didn't believe that we have the people in hand and they're going to be in Atlantic city. But we do have those people.” Two people debuting tonight? Keith and Joe? Quote
MoS Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 Keith Lee once debuted in an indy promotion by literally blowing the door off its hinges. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this is a way-too-cute reference/segment based on that. Quote
El-P Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 Just do a Forbidden Box, to piss off Corny or something. Quote

Corny likes the box gimmick, it was Russo who hated it. Cornette’s infamous line was that anybody who comes out of a box is instantly over. Quote
SirEdger Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 Apparently, there are TWO surprise debuts tonight. Quote
Stiva Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 Keith Lee and Ken the (Forbidden) Box Quote
Al Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 If the forbidden door doesn't coincide with a Midnight Rider gimmick someday I'll be a little heartbroken. Quote

Yeah, that was actually the joke, AEW using Corny's infamous gimmick... 50 minutes ago, Stiva said: Keith Lee and Ken the (Forbidden) Box Quote
sek69 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 Considering both the fanbase and the people in charge of AEW, I'm kind of surprised we haven't had a Ken the Box reference yet. Quote

C.S. Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 3 hours ago, SirEdger said: Apparently, there are TWO surprise debuts tonight. If this is the case, I think it will be Keith Lee and Mia Yim (two debuts) OR Killer Kross and Scarlett (also two debuts). Either of them coming in as a couple makes the most sense for this rumor.

sek69 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 Fightful just confirmed Keith Lee to AEW, not confirming he's the mystery guy facing Isaiah Kassidy, but he's 100% coming in. Quote
El-P Posted February 9, 2022 Report Posted February 9, 2022 It's probably Yokozuna, and he's gonna join you know who. Or Kyoko Hamaguchi (no idea who's gonna get that reference though). Ok now, Keith Lee has been pretty much a given for a while now, Meltz has been saying for weeks that they have been talking. Doesn't mean it's him *tonight*, but it's pretty much a Danielson case at this point. Also, TK never talked about two surprises. He said ONE. He said there was other things to look forward, maybe some announcements too. A.Q.A (formerly an NXT girl) debuts tonight against Jade Cargill, so there's that already. I gotta feeling that's if it ends up not being Keith Lee, people are gonna bitch, which is probably why TK did that Tweet about "if it's not one of your guesses, doesn't mean they won't show up later".

I assume he said that because a lot of the people being guessed to come in as of late are either still under non competes (Jeff Hardy) or otherwise not signing contracts anywhere for the time being (Johnny Gargano).

Big Pete Posted February 10, 2022 Report Posted February 10, 2022 Whoever debuts, surely they could have come up with something more important than a qualifier for a belt they've established has an open door policy against a Isaiah Kassidy...surely. Quote
Migs Posted February 10, 2022 Report Posted February 10, 2022 Has anyone confirmed that White is a signing with AEW and not him working with them through New Japan? Quote

I thought both debuts were surprisingly low key in their presentation, especially Jay White's, but Keith should give half his paycheck to Kassidy for bumping around the way he did. 7 minutes ago, Migs said: Has anyone confirmed that White is a signing with AEW and not him working with them through New Japan? Unless I missed it, there was no "Jay White is ALL ELITE" graphic posted anywhere. Quote
El-P Posted February 10, 2022 Report Posted February 10, 2022 Jay White is still under contract to NJPW as far as I know. He's showing up here like he does in IMPACT. Forbidden Door indeed. Quote

Unless I missed it, there was no "Jay White is ALL ELITE" graphic posted anywhere. You're not wrong, Kassidy bumped like a mad man for him. It's just a shame that Kassidy's presentation has been so poor for so long. Hopefully the recent surge of matches leads to bigger roles for him and Quen. Quote

NintendoLogic Posted February 10, 2022 Report Posted February 10, 2022 The fact that the statement of candidacy lists AEW as his campaign committee should have been a dead giveaway that it's not legit. Quote
