Kingston saw Moxley was crying due to intense barbed wire pain so he went to cover him so the cameras wouldn't catch it
Then Kingston passed out because he ate too much food backstage |

that's what i was thinking, that was a shockmaster clip. they will play that clip for years. an kingston even looked worse when mox stood up and talking about the weak blast while kingston was still selling.

Yeah it's tough with Christian. Because if he's healthy then yeah he's awesome. He had incredible matches in his last WWE run. But that was so many years ago now. I do have faith that he can be that guy again, yes. But even so I wish they'd have hyped this in a more chill way because we were all expecting someone "huge huge". We had out realities, we knew Brock or Punk wasn't going to likely happen. But they left that door open in our minds. That and the barbed wire explosion let down really do feel like a failure.

Is he awesome though? Sell me on Christian...... because I don't get it. I never have. That's not knocking the dude at all, there's just nothing about him, other than the blue dot story, that is remotely entertaining.
Brood Christian is the best Christian. |

I liked when Christian was campaigning to be sent to SD to feud with Cena and then they sent Cena to RAW and Christian to SD

When I think of awesome Christian I'm thinking of the series of matches he had with Randy Orton which even though it was done a hundred times was fantastic.

None of AEW’s regular audience was lost on this. We all see it was a fuck up but more than enough goodwill has been bought over time. Company will continue to have more than enough Dynamite viewers to keep plugging along.
Highly doubt any new fans were made though, and now this hilariously botched ending will be used as ammo from the Cornette crowd basically forever. Such is life. |

Eddie saving his friend after all they’ve been through is such a great story and it’s ruined by a hilarious screw up. Bummer.

I think the worst part about the whole debacle is that it the match was actually pretty good, way better than I was expecting. And then this just sort of shit all over everything. The build, the anticipation, the announcers hyping the explosion, everyone.

Yeah it would've been great had the explosion worked out. I understand why Tony is putting the spin that Kenny made a dud explosion, but it doesn't fix the botch. As has been said if it was the intention that the Kenny made a dud then the announcers would've sold it that way and Kingston wouldn't have died. As the cameras went off air Mix cut a promo immediately saying "Kenny can't make an Exploding Ring for shit" as Eddie continued to commit to the death sell via sparklers and a few black cats. Not saying that Tony should have said "yeah unfortunately the explosion didn't work out and it was a real let down for us", breaking kayfabe like that would be just as cringey for my taste. No winning in this situation.

I get that you are supportive of AEW there is nothing wrong with that. But there is no fixing this. It was embarrassing on so many levels from Eddie to the commentary to the crowd reaction to the agents. You could actually hear one single voice cry out "REFUND" as the ppv went off air. I've been an AEW defender and still maintain it's a much better product than WWE, but there is no defending this massive botch. Only time can heal this wound until one day they can make fun of it as their own Shockmaster moment.

The commentators yelling “Get him out. GET HIM OUT! TAKE COVER!” Just before the “explosion” just made it that much better.

Of course Vince would never allow something like this to take place on his television because of this exact scenario. Short of actually blowing shit up this was always the expected outcome with the benefit of hindsight.

AEW hasn't always been perfect but it took almost 2 years for their first real big fuck up. They'll have to take their lumps and pay the piper here but hopefully they can kick off some interesting stuff on Wednesday and move past this.

I heard good things about sting and his street fight and that it was a success. I am happy for him as my favorite all time. I may not love the brand he's in but I am glad he enjoys the freedom of being his own working with Darby is fun for him, sharing that creativity with Darby and working with opponents like tazz shows just what AEW can be.
I heard the show was great too in general. Last edited by Destor; 03-08-2021 at 02:21 PM. |

I'd take an explosion let down over Katie Vick, Gobbedly Gooker, King Booker, Vince saying the N word, the higher power, Nia Jax as a person, HLA, Eugene, etc. You get my point.

Having slept on it and seeing how they are trying to spin it is an attempt I guess, but they can't explain Eddie or the announcers.
It makes them all look like idiots and in the end, that excuse maybe gives Omega 1% more heel credibility, but it destroys the credibility of Eddie, the announcers, and the company overall. It's the same wink wink crap that they constantly do. The actual company should be aware of the problems, it should not be treated like an episode of Being the Elite. |

AEW is riddled with production issues from the start. They were just a bit too ambitious here.

It was an obvious mistake but I'm all for them making a storyline to explain it or even a joke storyline. They can't just let something like that go unaddressed and doing a serious apology or something would be lame as fuck.

Probably would have been better to play up the confusion and have it be a mystery as to who tampered with the explosions and let the angle play out over time.
As it was, it’s one of the most hilarious botches seen on a PPV. Takes me back to TNA’s blindfold match and the electrified cage. They must be so disappointed but it really is the only talking point coming out of the show. It’s one of those that is funnier every time you watch it. |

It's the announcers selling it that make it such an lol moment. Khan is alreadypivoting to Omega being a shitty engineer and I'm sure Kingston will cut a promo explaining things.
I'm excited you see face Eddie chasing the belt. |
