3 matches for Tomohiro Ishii during his summer stay in AEW

As a long-time wrestling fan and avid gamer, I’m beyond excited about Tomohiro Ishii joining All Elite Wrestling (AEW) for the summer of 2024. Having watched him in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) for years, I’ve grown to appreciate his toughness and brawling style that always leaves fans on the edge of their seats.

On last Wednesday, Tony Khan, the proprietor of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), revealed via Twitter that Tomohiro Ishii from New Japan Pro Wrestling would be participating with AEW through the rest of the summer. Despite being tied to New Japan, Ishii has demonstrated exceptional wrestling matches against numerous athletes globally. Known as “Stone Pitbull,” Ishii is a beloved figure for his unyielding spirit and raw fighting style.

During his summer stay in the US, Ishii is a strong contender for top honors in virtually any male singles championship within AEW. His tenacity and toughness in wrestling have rightfully earned him this recognition.

Tomohiro Ishii’s tenure in AEW this summer should include the following three highly anticipated match-ups. Some of these bouts would be considered dream matches, eliciting immense excitement from fans. Others would leave spectators utterly amazed, potentially causing jaws to drop to the ground and even beneath it.

Kazuchika Okada

Among all potential matches for Ishii, this one is a logical choice. In the past, when Ishii was still part of New Japan’s Chaos faction, they occasionally teamed up with Okada. However, wrestling against each other was uncommon. With Okada now spending almost six months in AEW and embracing his heel persona, a match between him and Ishii is highly likely to happen.

Ishii isn’t recognized for his promotional skills, but Okada could deliver a heartfelt promo about how Ishii reached new levels of fame during his time leading Chaos, something he hadn’t experienced before or since. This would set the stage for an intense physical confrontation between two outstanding wrestlers of this era. Given the animosity towards Okada and the Elite, Ishii is sure to be the crowd favorite.

For devoted New Japan Pro-Wrestling fans, this is a fight worth tuning in for. I can’t say it will go down as an all-time classic, but it promises to be an engaging encounter between the ex-Chaos teammates. A bout that could stir up some chaos in the ring amongst the former friends and Chaos members.

Mark Briscoe

A fight between Briscoe and Ishii in pro wrestling would be an ideal match-up for two of the most formidable competitors. With Briscoe performing at the peak of his career, such a bout would significantly enhance his accomplishments. This doesn’t necessitate any specific stipulations or weapon involvement; it could simply be a classic wrestling encounter between two robust individuals.

Briscoe and Ishii appear to have excellent compatibility based on their athletic skills and wrestling techniques. Ishii is often underestimated as a formidable wrestler with impressive grappling abilities. Briscoe can easily keep up with Ishii’s moves. If Briscoe retains the Ring of Honor World Championship leading up to this match, then make it a title bout.

Ishii has a history of triumph in Ring of Honor, having previously claimed the Television Championship title. However, this upcoming showdown is certain to be an intense battle that wrestling enthusiasts have been craving for some time. The audience will be evenly divided between supporters of these two skilled combatants, making it a thrilling experience for all. Essentially, this highly anticipated clash promises to deliver a dream match for fans of both wrestlers.

Claudio Castagnoli

The upcoming wrestling bout could feature two powerful pro wrestlers, Claudio Castagnoli and Ishii, who previously clashed in a four-way match. A one-on-one encounter between these two isn’t an unrealistic prospect. Both men possess immense strength and don’t need to demonstrate it further. The ring may not be filled with meat but will certainly be reinforced with steel.

Castagnoli is a globetrotter, participating in wrestling events in more than a dozen countries, among them Japan. Surprisingly, he never encountered Ishii during his Japanese visits. It’s possible that they were involved in separate promotions or simply had conflicting schedules. Such a bout between these two popular wrestlers would have been intriguing in Japan and may soon take place in the United States. Just as with Briscoe, both men are crowd favorites, capable of dividing spectators right down the middle.

Although Castagnoli occasionally assumes the role of a heel for just one match, it poses no threat to his character. In a potential encounter with Ishii, such a role reversal could lead to an exciting and strength-focused bout. Fans might be treated to a contest where each wrestler tries to outdo the other by lifting their opponent highest during a suplex or bench pressing the referee. Overall, this engaging match would surely keep the crowd invested.

During his brief stint with AEW in the US next summer, Ishii’s potential matches are abundant. His schedule may include highly anticipated bouts as suggested in this article or alternative uses within AEW. Regardless, the summer of 2024 is poised to be an exciting time for “Stone Pitbull” Tomohiro Ishii.
