The All-Atlantic Dream Match is Set Between Orange Cassidy and Shibata | AEW Dynamite, 11/2/22

[@aprentissdaye]

Shibata Katsuyori!! Just seeing him back in a wrestling ring again tears me up, just such a huge fan of Shibata, have been for over a decade!! 👏🏽👏🏽

[@kokotheclown2588]

First it was Osprey and now Shibata who would be next for OC I swear he’s getting the main event treatment and this proves that legendary figures are willing to wrestle a so called comedy character like OC he’s truly a main man now

[@siddestroyer]

Naah LOL

[@dannyluker1193]

He gets the views he deserves it, took a chance on the comedy wrestler gimmick and it paid off

[@xsomewhattoxic]

@@dannyluker1193 His previous gimmick was "generic CAW wrestler", a comedy gimmick can always tweak itself when needed. Hence the sloth-like demeanor, sudden explosion of energy, back to sloth; the shit works. Having an entire roster of 6 foot+ gymbros who can't do shit other than power moves would get boring really quick.

[@semyaza555]

It proves that Tony Khan will sacrifice legitimate talent to push a comedy act. If anyone named McMahon did the same thing, you're call him out on it but since it's AEW it's the greatest thing ever.

[@levibradley5098]

@@semyaza555 That's the AEW Revolution Cult for you. Saint Khan the Great, Omega the Illustrious, Jericho The Wise, and The Young Bucks the Valorous shall rid the world of the evil WWEmpire and the wrestling world will finally be free for the indie wrestlers and spot monkeys to rule. Comedy is only good if AEW does it, and they can do no wrong

Orange vs Shibata with Mike Tyson on commentary. Absolute fever dream match and I’m here for it 100%

[@cesarcanete3402]

Danielson vs Shibata is a much better, legitimate matchup than this one, but it's what Shibata wants, so good for him I guess.

[@Barbaresantana]

@@cesarcanete3402 choose cassidy but not PAC Lmao WTF

[@cesarcanete3402]

@@Barbaresantana IKR?! Having OC face Shibata over Pac is like choosing Case Keenum to start over Josh Allen in a Super Bowl (if the Bills make it to the SB this year) or choosing Andre Drummond to start over Joel Embiid. IDK if you follow the NBA or NFL, but just wanted to use them as an example.

@@cesarcanete3402 Andre Drummond is a beast…don’t sell him short

[@ttakamiorama]

OK can definitely deliver, but I think I get what your saying: two titan technical professional wrestlers in a duel. I do though think that there could be crazy synergy between OK and Shibata. OK brings the comedy, Shibata is the perfect straight man. Shibata is a man of very few words because he lets his skills and pedigree do the talking, OK is also a man of few words, it’s just that talking takes too much effort. Honestly I saw the contract signing to be a sign of what will come. Shibata points at the gold belt with destined determination, OK responds by gesturing “just sign the contract”, I really hope for OK to really showcase Shibata’s intensity through his humor. AEW is the perfect platform for both these guys to work off of eachother and really be themselves. I really hope this turns out to be a real wrestlers wrestling match!!!

[@Officer1774]

Crazy to see Shibata back, let alone in an AEW ring. Hope this leads to more opportunities for him to wrestle others.

[@jonathanoscategui2678]

Definitely a great surprise 🔥

[@Mastersofinsight]

Tony bringin a NJPW star to wrestle Cassidy is targeting such a small niche. Im sure 98% of average AEW viewers have no clue who Shibata is. The All-atlantic title is all over the place and feels so insignificant. Tony should have built up the title like a cross promotional championship. Before introducing it, we should have gotten video packages of what it represents and why its super unique because its a great concept but not delivered properly.

[@Colt2OO2]

I honestly wouldn't be shocked at all if Shibata takes that title from Orange Cassidy tomorrow night, but it would certainly be welcome especially if that means we'll get to see him in AEW more. He really is something else to be wrestling again after suffering a subdural hematoma that forced him to retire 5 years ago and as a big fan of his, I'm glad to even see him appear in the US on national television. I wish Tony would put more effort in making sure everyone has a better idea of who he is though since most of the fanbase is casual, but nonetheless, it's easy to tell that he's popular just by looking at a lot of comment sections and I'm sure the crowd will be hot for their match on Rampage and that more on a grander scale will realize just how good Shibata really is.

@@alexbalderas8514 why do we need this? If it’s just gonna be a match without a proper storyline built, it won’t gain interest. Bryan is too good of a talent just to be wrestling every week just for the sake of it. Let’s build him back up again to the bad ass he was when he first joined aew.

Why put another mid card title on him?! Put either the AEW World Title or the ROH world title on him. The ROH World title would be perfect for him & he'd have really dope matches defending the title against Jay Lethal, Brian Cage, Dalton Castle, Jonathan Gresham, Samoa Joe, etc.

[@cesarcanete3402]

@@Eyezxn Dude the TNT title is a joke now. It appears that the All Atlantic title is now thee premier & most prestigious mid card title in AEW right now & people could care less about the TNT & FTW title. They should just rebrand the TNT title and make it into the AEW Hardcore Title & move the FTW title to ROH & make that under old school ECW rules since that title comes from ECW.

his match against Okada is on vimeo, highly recommended. carve out an hour for that, 45 mins for the match and 15 mins to take it all in afterward

[@cmurphy0707]

If you’re looking for recommendations I would go out of your way to see his matches with Tomohiro Ishii from Wrestle Kingdom 10 and the 2013 G1 as well as Hiroshi Tanahashi match from September 2014. His best one is Kazuchika Okada from Sakura Genesis 2017.
