Give me more of Kingston shooting on the locker room for being cowards.

yeah it sounds like from the clip he wanted to make sure it was safe, relied on professionals to make it safe, and they didn't get the message that it also needed to look good on camera

what kind of pyrotechnician doesnt understand that it needs to look good?

part of me, deep down, believes the bad explosion was a work all along and all the cover up stories are part of it

I'm pretty sure the explosion contractor skimped on the flash stuff because they saw how close all the ringside poo poo was. Last thing AEW needs is Vertivixen or Lady Frost covered in melting AEW logos.

The pyro at the Great White concert in Rhode Island probably looked good too, but safety is always #1 when dealing with explosives.

I still maintain they should have had the match live then used parlor tricks (a shot of Callis coming out or something) to cut to a closed pretape where they could use better pyro or CG or something to make it look super good instead of bad! You have full control! Tony!

The "live crowd" was A) floridian and therefore unimportant and B) a small rounding error of the number of people watching. Make it look good for tape!!!

So the live crowd watches a whole match then has to watch an explosion on a screen?

the outcome was still funny, which I thought was the desired effect. You had Kenny beating on a piece of sheet metal scream how he'll end Moxley and in a way, he did. By humiliating Moxley, Omega elevated himself to untouchable status. Look at moxley now. He hosts a podcast. What a loser.

Also i forgot they had a limited live crowd for that show because it was covid time. This is because I'm just phenomenally stupid and also earlier this year was 30 years ago

Tony should hire Rammstein next time. They're all licensed pyrotechnicians AND they could play a kickass set at a PPV.

On one hand, I can totally buy youtube loving up your most important upload for 5+ hours. OTOH I'm betting this is a work and they'll show who is shoot in AEW on that vlog.

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


Going to be honest "Onita did it, therefore it must be safe" doesn't hold THAT much water for me.

I meant it in a more it CAN be done relatively safely and still be impressive. Obviously AEW should take measures to be more safe than an Onita shindy show, but it's definitely possible to have very impressive explosions that photograph well and don't leaves everyone with eyebrows.

This is where I want to be, but I'm gonna be devastated when it's not a work.

Ready for Marko to betray Fuego and cost him the contract.
