FUCK!

Passion Of The Moxley

Forget the explosions at ringside, Moxley's crazy both for going shirtless and going back first into a board of barbed wire.

Also yikes at Omega getting gashed by the barbed wire.

Jesus

This is a damn mess lol

Enough with the dramatic music

If the entire ring doesn't blow up:

https://memegenerator.net/img/instan...ing-kaboom.jpg

This match is fucking nuts I love it!!

Moxley setting off an explosion to kick out was amazing.

those plastic wires still wouldn't feel good.

GENIUS KICKOUT!!

:D Explody baseball bat.

This match rules so far.

If that OWA spot is the high point of the match the whole thing is worth it to me.

Jesus Christ! This match was something else

That was nuts

Fuck the explosion kickout was an all time false finish.

WTF at the match ending before the massive ring explosion stuff happened.

I'd laugh if the big explosions still happen during this post-match stuff.

mox about to go kaboom

I only with they would've teased the alarm with the explosions.

Leaving Mox in the ring that's about to explode. Holy shit that's gonna be a hell of a way to write him off.

LOL that was the big explosion??

lol at the explosion fail!

:lol: at the crowd booing the big ring explosions fake out.

LMAO off at the big 'explosion'

THEY KILLED THEM.

Wow.......that is an all-time failure.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Great show but ROFL having to act like the ring really exploded.

......................

lol. fail

That was an underwhelming explosion :lol:

lol

Yo that was legit less sparkles than Goldberg walks through in his entrance.

And how could that possibly hurt Eddie at all??? LOL

$5 says a promo will be made by Omega or Callis about "You'd really think I'd put Kenny in that kind of danger?"

Guess something went wrong with the final explosions if Eddie Kingston is selling being TKOed because no way that should have been the show closing ending as is.

Mr Nerfect is going to have a ball tonight.

It looked like sparklers went off lol. Did they blow their budget on the first 99.9 percent of the match?

Man.........great show but that ending was such a fail it might warrant an entire letter downgrade.

kingston sacrificed his life to save mox from a sparkler

Was that ending botched?

"eddie is not in good shape either, man"


thanks, schiavone

OMG I can't belive what I've just seen. I actually herd someone yell REFUND. OH man what a painful failure.

I'm not even gonna lie, that big explosion was SOOOOO bad it's almost perfect. I'm legit laughing, that's exactly the kind of amazingness only Pro Wrestling can offer.

prob the biggest botch in recent memory

i felt like that ending was so fucking bad that it almost seemed like an homage/parody of another exploding death match from a long time ago with a lackluster ending, but then they had to sell it like it literally killed. hilariously shit ending to a whatever main event

Well that certainly put a damper on a great show lol

Near perfect show and that ending just guaranteed they're gonna be a laughingstock coming out of it.

Guys, Eddie Kingston might've had a heart attack or may have fainted due to the stress of the impending explosion :lol:

Wow. That was not All Elite pyrotechnics

I don't blame TK for being "sensory inclusive" with pyro and shit, but god man for one night you had to let that shit go and just say "Hey this shit is going to be loud as hell so here's your warning."

Outside of that lame show closing ending, Revolution was a very entertaining show overall.

If it wasn't for the last couple minutes of the Exploding deathmatch and the wet fart of a ending to the show, that match would have been my favorite of the night. Currently leaning towards the Street Fight instead.

Fuck put up to sides of "safety glass" and show the extras around the ring wearing hearing protection and goggles for fuck sakes.

They could've easily saved it by having Omega and co come back out laughing their asses off and Eddie looking bewildered at not being blown to bits with Callas saying they ribbed us all. That's a helluva lot to ask for on the fly but damn theyshould've called some sorry of audible

prob thinking that hardcore matches should also only be cinematic.

lmao @ that botched finale

Also lmao @ Christian being the big surprise. I like Christian but they can fuck right off with that. At this point that is about as bush league of a signing as you can get. He just isn't relevant at this point.

Yeah that would've been something of a redeemer but fuck me... so bad.

A fantastic PPV with an all-time lame ending and unfortunately the latter is what most of the internet is gonna remember.

RIP EDDIE KINGSTON

CAUSE OF DEATH - AFTERSHOCKS FROM SPARKLERS

Well bullshit aside, I guess Omega vs Kingston next?

I wasn't that into the main event in the first place. They pussed out and went half way with everything. The wrapped the ropes instead of removing and replacing with barbed wire. They used fake barbed wire on the boards on the outside and maybe on the ropes as well. The boards in the ring seemed legit though. The explosions themselves were quite shit the whole way through anyway which is honestly why they shouldn't have done them in the first place. This is the first time AEW has dreadfully failed and they did so in such a big and embarrassing way. This definitely reminds me of the WCW Chamber of Horrors Match where Abdullah and Cactus had a dumb shit ending and honestly that was even better than this. This made everyone look bad especially Eddie Kingston and the commentary team who had to attempt to sell it, even though JR couldn't even muster the strength to which for once I totally understand.

Prob'ly something from Wrestling Society X. They did explodey rings and "electric" ropes and overly gimmicked weapons for about the six episodes they existed. I think Kenny was one of the guys in it, too (I vaugely remember Raven and X-Pac), so I wouldn't be surprised if it were a callback to that.

Yeah that really needed an audible called assuming that was a badly botched pyro spot.

Think the landmine barbed wire spot on the floor might have also been botched as well since the explosions looked a bit off when it happened. I'd assume the explosions were meant to happen on both sides and not just a single side.

Yeah, like I said, the story is no longer about how it was a great show with tons of matches that delivered, it's a show that will always be known for a huge fuck-up at the end.

People who have watched and mostly enjoyed AEW (including a lot of this board) know it's a fuck-up but got enough out of the show/the product as a whole to happily continue watching Wednesday. The core fanbase isn't going away.

But anyone who came into this show on the fence? They're gone. That's how bad the ending was, the kind of thing that can single-handedly actively get people to turn away. And of course it's also endless ammo to the anti-AEW crowd.

GUY IN CHARGE OF EXPLOSIONS REALLY FUCKED UP................. DICKHEAD........

No it was not an homage to something bad it was bad.

Christian Cage, Sting going over and a massive, glaring botch at the most pivotal moment in the show!??

TNA, TNA, TNA!!

That too. But I still wouldn't put it past them to do something intentionally bad because it was "funny".

Sucked either way, so arguing about it is moot.

Damn man... they really f*cked that up... feel bad for Kingston and Moxley having to act like they were in a brutal explosion... feel bad for Omega @ this kinda "ruining the match"

Wonder what the explanation is, like they "weren't allowed to have that big of an explosion" or something? Or a bunch of them didn't go off or whatever... hopefully that wasn't the actual explosion they had planned.........

They were never going to go full FMW with that match both for legal and timing reasons.

Street Fight itself didn't go on long enough to do a proper FMW style setup anyways.

Yeah... Noid can def watch a few tweets and be in the right with that botched ending.

I've been skipping Dynamite and skimming episodes on demand since Omega took the belt. It's certainly not to the level of trash WWE is at, which I don't even read the results of anymore. But this PPV was easily the worst that I've seen from them. Sure the tag title match was good, the street fight was cool and the battle royal was a big surprise but compared to the rest of the best we've seen from AEW this was a pretty low standard on all accounts. Take it from someone on the fence. This show did no favors.

Also while I don't watch Japanese Deathmatches any longer and have zero interest in them. I did have a phase when I was like 13 or so where I traded tapes and got ahold of all the classics from Big Japan, IWA and FMW. With the Onita praise AEW did I had pretty high and brutal expectations for this main event tonight. And the thing is with these death matches, they look brutal, but it's all superficial. They didn't even go that far with this one, they had gimmicked barbed wire through half the spots. When Mox got up from the DDT off the apron I was thoroughly slighted that he didn't have blood pouring from his back. Call me a savage but if they say Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match, I want a fucking serious ass death match. Hell TNA got the barbed wire massacare right every time.

Show left me feeling depressed tbh

ate too much junk food and felt like shit already though,

but still

Did JR's cold voice annoy you?

To each their own, I actually enjoyed the hell out of most of this show. Ending aside I actually felt like the ladder match was my low point, the energy was just really off during that one, though I'm glad Sky won.

They've already announced stuff for Dynamite that intrigues me. Sky/Darby should be good, I hope to see Jericho get chucked out of the Inner Circle, and the eventual Bucks/Death Triangle match is gonna be a can't-miss.

That said, despite really liking the show I do think it was a step down from other AEW PPVs because the bar was set so high. Knowing that Double or Nothing will be in Daily's Place probably with restricted crowd still (for the best, but still) kinda sucks. I miss pre-pandemic wrestling and hope that by All In everyone's back on the road and every promotion has a lively crowd of people who have been waiting a year to go to shows.

Speaking of ladder matches, I personally could use a long break from them.

The tag team battle royal was prob my favorite match on the show tbh... almost everything else was kinda disappointing :-(

Main event was cool but the Good Brothers shit sucked dick and of course the "explosions"...

Sting match was pretty good also

Ring explosion looked familiar...

That was hilarious. Reminds me of something that would happen in Spinal Tap. First time in a while rasslin has made me literally lol

I agree, I went in with low expectations for that match, but it ended up being really fun and probably my favorite of the night as well.

You know what was more hardcore than the ending??

Was the ending to the main event a letdown? Sure.

Did I let the ending fuck everything that happened before it? Nope.

Still a more than solid PPV.

I can’t complain.

They need to have Eddie sell the fuck out of it. Have him in a full body cast in the hospital on wednesday

Cue BTE segment with Michael Nakagawa where he replaces the the ring explosion mines with 4th of July sparklers.

holy fuck. was it ever possible before that pic to see 2 hot mammas. ahhhhhhhh

I missed the tag title match and street fight match unfortunately. However, barring the botched ending, overall I thought the show was really good.

The tag battle royal was fun and Death Triangle v The Bucks will be a really fun match.

I'm glad Scorpio Sky is going to be getting a another title shot. I think he's got a ton of upside and he needs to be featured more.

Shida had her best match. We are going to get some direction on the Inner Circle. And when tho he didn't deserve anywhere near that kind of hype, I'm interested in what they're gonna do with Christian. Plus, maybe Eddie gets a babyface push for a title match in the next month.

Even with the botched ending and over hyping of Christian, I'm still into the company and want to see what's next.

PPV was really good. Fun. That explosion ending was soooo bad though. What can you do? Things happen.

According to Tony Khan during the post-show media scrum, the Kenny Omega sucks at building explody stuff is the storyline they are going towards to retcon tonight's lame show closing ending.

Shame. Having it be a rib and Kingston passing out from panic attack is a better idea.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kingston gives a promo on Wednesday's show explaining how he passed out in panic since there really isn't any other way around the issue of him acting like he was TKOed from the failed big explosions spot.

Need to salvage something meaningful from that big moment of him coming to Moxley's aid and risking his own life to save Moxley from further harm.

If anybody can save it on the mic, it’s him.

Hahahahaha!

Somehow this company has made me actively dislike Christian by hyping him up so much. Yeah, I bet Vince is really having a panic attack over that. Lol at his TNA theme.
