Like if it was another Bray Wyatt Spooky Lights match where he lumbered around for 15 minutes then Uncle Howdy came out and threw some fireworks at the other guy then people would poo poo all over it for sure but if it was part of an Actually Good Match then that’s a different story entirely

Contextually if it happened as part of a sick match with build it'd be cool as hell no matter the company yeah. Anarchy In The Arena matches are basically multiman falls count anywhere matches where every member is trying to one up the other to cause as much damage to the opposing faction as possible. Therefore, if you find some pyro in the supply truck, by god you're gonna strap that bad boy to your foot and kick someone. I still think about John Cena getting chokeslammed through a spotlight and exploding and that match wasn't even that good. I just love poo poo like that

Crapple! posted:I don't understand at all. I just want to know why Matt had an explosive boot Didn't watch the show but he had an explosive boot so it could explode in someone's face as superkicked them. It's like the the tag cage match with Lucha Bros, except instead of having a sneaker with tacks in the sole thrown into the ring for him to change into, he did it while he was backstage. It sounds goofy to me but the intent seems really easy to understand. Would it have been laughed at if it was Seth Freaking Rollins doing it? Yeah, probably

Explosive shoe was amazing for multiple reasons. It looked great and I'm still wondering just how they pulled it off. It fits the character of the Bucks. They loving love shoes and they love superkicks, what better way to deliver an explosion to someone's head? And it makes sense for a match like this. You know it's going to be violent. You know somebody like Mox can shrug off a ton of punishment (even in the match itself, he was shrugging off blows and saying 'gently caress off' as he was getting attacked) and you need a big weapon in case that happens. Plus, as noted, it's a more powerful version of the thumbtack shoe. So shoe escalation being what it is, the next violent blood match with the Bucks will involve a shoe with power beyond comprehension.

Crapple! posted:Really Forkboy? Please watch the match and you'll see the difference Sure, once I've gotten through the 40 shows on my backlog, & the stuff I haven't even got on the backlog but would kind of like to check out & the stuff that hasn't happened but will at some point before the backlog is cleared out, I'll get right on that. I just don't get what you're struggling with. You asked why he had an explosive shoe & the answer seems obvious, both in kayfabe & in reality. He wanted to kick someone in the face with an exploding boot. And because explosions look cool. That's it! There's no need to overthink it. You don't have to like the spot, you can think it was silly & detracted from the match! But the intent, whether it landed or not? That's easy to understand without watching it.

Crapple! posted:Ok so if this happened in a WWE show we'd all be just as cool with it right? Hard to say. They wouldn't have years of existing good storytelling to pull from, and they'd probably just do something dumb as poo poo in the Mountain Dew Day-Glo-Green Match, which we'd poo poo on. But if they did put on a really cool and fun match where someone did something cool? I think a lot of people would say it's cool.

It also fit with the story of the match in a broader sense which was that the Elite have an upper hand in *wrestling* but they can't match the sheer brutality of the BCC in a straight up fight due to their inexperience, and Matt doing things like that, while it did pay off, was ultimately only good for one attack and useless after that.

I think it's that people have given you several explanations but none of them seem good enough for you to just accept. I'm more perplexed as to why there was barbed wire on the back of the poker chip. Some poor staff member had to set that up, they didn't think to alert someone about this??

Why did we not get a series of four video packages where we saw Matthew Buck creating a shoe weapon, and then a promo where he says he's going to create an exploding shoe? This is why people saw AEW doesn't have storylines. No build!

Why are people settling grievances through combat? That's not grown up behaviour. Be the better person. Get a real job. You want to bleed? You should see a therapist.

Why did the shoe explode? He put a firework in it and it went boom when he kicked someone. Seems obvious

Crapple! posted:I'm like "Why was there an explosion" and everyone is acting like this is a crazy thing to ask. Because it is a crazy thing to ask. Why was there an explosion? Because it looked cool. That's it. That's the thought process. You don't have to agree, you don't have to think it worked. But that's it. Matt gets left in the back, at some point he wakes up, changes his shoe for the gimmicked shoe that goes boom because "poo poo is getting serious now" & then walks out. You don't need to see the shoe change to know it happened. You just logically intuit it. Again, the execution of that may well have been rubbish, IDK. But the why? is straight forward, both from the kayfabe view & the IRL decision to do it. There's an element of call back to the previous tack shoe, but if you didn't see that match it's not a huge thing, you can still enjoy "lol shoe go boom".
