Tony Schiavone recently discussed the AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door II pay-per-view event on his “What Happened When” podcast, where he expressed his privilege at being able to call the Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay match as well as the Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada match.
Sharing his thoughts on the Danielson/Okada match, Schiavone said,
“I do also want to say that being a part of an Okada match was one of those moments that you’ll never forget and being a part of any Bryan Danielson match is special, especially when he worked the last part of that match with a broken arm. He put that stretch plum on or whatever we call it, the LeBell lock, on with a broken hand and he put his first hand in and then he was doing this.
He also shared an update on the injury “The American Dragon” sustained during the match. He said,
“Of course, now we don’t know if he’s working or not at this time. He does this and he does this and he forces his hand to lock under that much pain. It’s an unforgettable moment. It really is for me. I’ll remember that because I was right there seeing him take the second hand and hook him and stretch that LeBell lock on. I’ve seen the X-rays and I know how bad the break is. It’s a severe break.”
