Talking the other day about Danhausen seemingly venting about his return being delayed. The more I think of it the more I think he'd be a perfect choice for MJF's partner in the ROH Tag Title match at Full Gear.
They obviously are wanting you to think MJF is gonna pick Samoa Joe, finally caving to his offer for help. But if it was gonna be Joe there's really no need to book a mystery partner around it. Also, Joe's offer comes with the contingency that he'd get another AEW World Title match. Yes most expect MJF to retain the belt in the main event but setting up another program like this kinda makes the main event more of a foregone conclusion.
MJF should be smart enough to not pick Joe because he doesn't trust him, and knows his ass is gonna get choked out the second they win. At the same time, Adam Cole and The Acclaimed are hurt and most of the rest of the locker room probably told MJF to fuck himself as they're still mad about the times he wronged them in the past. So Danhausen would be a choice that signifies that MJF had to really scrape the barrel.
As for Danhausen himself, this finally gets him back after a month of vignettes. He's popular and would probably get a good reception. It's OK for MJF to have a goofy partner because The Gunns themselves are goofy. And there's actual history there - Danhausen is the reason the "Ass Boys" chant started in the first place, so him showing up would have the Gunns on tilt.
They can have a fun little tag match to open the card. Post-match you can either get Samoa Joe some easy heat by having him come after MJF anyway or just have him choke out Danhausen. Alternatively you can have Danhausen get laid out by a Devil goon backstage to carry on the idea that MJF's associates are being targeted.
