Lol Jericho fell onto a cardboard crash pad while the announcers cried he'd broken his back. It looked bad. It didn't need to look bad. It looked fake. It didn't need to look fake. Dumb as hell

You're right, they could have killed a person and made it real.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Yea that's where it felt like it was just downhill. You 100% had the chance to win and just blew it over and over. And the finish was really bad/stupid

Honestly the finish would've been fine if it happened like at the peak of the emotion but instead it happened after a long period of we didn't see the rest of the match in the cage for minutes and last we saw the inner circle had entirely laid out the pinnacle it just felt off as there was a divide in the drama. This isn't about the crashpad this is about the pacing of the match and how they managed to squeeze a 25 minute match into 40.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Shane McMahon lands on crash pads 1000x more obvious and people legit go "he's still got it :shuckyes:" lmao

They cover the pad with a tarp so you can't see its pillowy inside.

It still is an obvious crash pad, but you can pretend it's harder than it is.



Again, this is me splitting hairs. Still loved the match, still loved how Wardlow and MJF are still the best.

Stadium stampede ended with the world’s most obvious gigantic crash pad and nobody gave a poo poo

The real issue was the pacing of the end and the framing of the push.

i really hope next time tnt has negotiations w/ aew they can stump to have some of the special episodes like this have commercialless matches because that's probably my biggest complaint about the match

wardlow entering in pip and then having a commercial and coming back to the ring entirely torn up felt super off

The babyfaces surrendering to prevent the evil heel from permanently injuring their friend and then the heel doing it anyway is perfect wrestling pathos. That part is golden. The crash pad spot could've looked a little better, but it was good enough.

I don't want anybody to die and the fact that they used a crashpad is very good, but it's very funny to make jokes about how it looked.

The actual match was intense and bloody as hell, which kind of made the difference in effect stronger

I don't think anyone minds the bump itself, that was good.

Sammy giving up thinking MJF wouldn't throw him though was just stupid. Anyone could have predicted what would happen.

That's what knocks down the whole ending.

Match was awesome, the last 15 minutes were a clusterfuck but those dudes had a war so idk poo poo is going to get botchy. I was transfixed on Wheeler the whole time, he looked incredibly uncomfortable (for obvious reasons) and kept falling back to the corner of the ring to hang out and.. bleed I guess.

No, they could have made it not look fake and poo poo OR and here's the kicker, do something else. Something else that didn't look fake and poo poo. You'll never been Mick Foley falling off the cage, don't even bother

i thought the match was really fun, but the commercial breaks were awkward. sammy surrendering to save his friend makes total sense especially if jericho is gone for awhile after the fall.

There are a lot of people on this forum who are very attached to AEW in a weird way that if you don't entirely get behind a match they lose their poo poo. It was a good match, much better than anything you regularly see on TV usually. It just had some pacing issues and the finish was kind of flat.

Also yeah as I mentioned a match like that doesn't go well with commercials as there aren't a lot of down moments booked into something like that.
