10 HUGE Wrestling Moments That Must Happen By 2022

3. The Forbidden Door Opens To A Major Cross-Promotion Super-Show

Wrestling fans put up with a lot in 2020.

They remained loyal to products held in empty arenas that were bittersweet even those products were somehow exceptional. Yes, Fénix destroying Nick Jackson with a Canadian Destroyer to the outside of the ring was just awesome, but the spluttering sound you made in your living room just wasn't an earth-shaking pop.

They, unwilling to abandon something they'd held dear for years, ignored their moral compass as wrestling failed to transparently resolve too many #SpeakingOut allegations. A major wrestling super-show no matter how life-affirming will never correct that, just to be clear. But 2020 was a harrowing time - even writing that in the past tense doesn't feel right - and, when it is possible to do so, wrestling must band together to deliver something seminal if it cannot or will not deliver something ethical.

AEW, NJPW, Impact, others: book a stadium show, call it The Forbidden Door, and deliver a unified front of unadulterated fan service.

Kenny Omega Vs. Kota Ibushi in the match that restores the Belt Collector's soul.

Jon Moxley Vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi in a Death Match that the purist Ace works in disgusted defiance, fighting through the pain of the barbed wire that punctures his battered elbows.

Orange Cassidy Vs. Shingo Takagi in a match that fires up the slacker with more intensity than he's ever shown.

The fans deserve something this big for persevering with wrestling when it never felt smaller.
