This whole situation really is depressing. Even though I was unhappy with AEW going 50/50 on the barbed wire itself, meaning the ropes wrapped instead of replaced and fake barbed wire on the outside "exploding" boards. And even though the explosions on the ropes weren't really that dangerous looking (unless you happen to be looking right into them and the flash could temporarily blind you)...

Even with all of that the planned finish would have been great with the proper explosion. I realized what was going to happen when Kingston came out and I was like "oh fuck this is a serious face turn for him" and that wet fart of an explosion made me laugh so hard. But now I just feel depressed about it. Like I feel a physical feeling in my gut.

I feel bad for AEW and everyone involved because it's truly a "Shockmaster" moment but on a much bigger scale. Immediately it made me think how at Mania 16 (I believe) WWF was going to do an exploding (or electric) cage match at with Kane and X-Pac. I believe it was set to go but when they tested it the effect wasn't good enough or there was a variable of failure that caused Vince to pull the gimmick altogether.

This AEW failure made me think about McMahon at his best, his experience and iron fist. His best days are far behind but you can't deny at one point he had the experience to limit an idea that (in all likelihood) was brought up outside of the typical WWF box.

I know Tony grew up like me with a similar taste for all things Wrestling. But it's also painfully obvious who should be calling the shots as far as creative goes. The EVP'S other than Cody really have no buisness booking matches or angles in a major way.

Kenny didn't excell in NJPW because he wrote his booking he excelled because Gedo wrote his stories and he had his own creativity within that structure.

The Young Bucks should be focused on merchandise, Kenny on the video games, and Cody who is the grandson of a plummer should be the creative in charge next to Tony.

I am not sure of Jericho's real presence backstage but he also seems to be a shot caller and maybe that's okay, but he also got Luther a job and I'm really tired of seeing him front row every time I turn on AEW.
