My two cents is if you can understand that Moxley and the BCC set up the barbed wired glass covered poker chip earlier - you should be able to accept that Matt had a special shoe set up in the back to use later. That's pretty much it.

they should have shown everybody setting up their weapons before the match like in those lovely old b-movies where they would show the protagonist driving to and from every location because they didnt trust the audience to understand how they got from one scene to the next

No information on the barbed wire poker chip, sadly.

Fight forever should have super finishers like the tack shoe, exploding shoe, jericho’s spike jacket for judas effects, the screwdriver, eddie should bring out the gasoline can… Super moves rule

Moments like Exploding Shoe Discourse make me realize that wrestling has hit that moment of fandom where people are more concerned about their media being Logical than like, Fun or Engaging. Like movie nerds who go into every movie with a Cinema Sins checklist of "plot holes" which are the sole determining factor of if the movie is good or not, and at least 2/3rds of the time the "plot hole" is either stuff they didn't understand or irrelevant surface level details that have no bearing on the movie but that's all they care about so it must all fit perfectly and logically at all times.

Honestly, it works in Kayfabe for Matt Buck, EVP, would get AEW production to make a special trick shoe for his battle against the BCC.

The idea that it's a plot hole if the character isn't a perfectly rational logical actor on the path to achieving their goal is death and I hate it.

It’s me, Kenny-Omegaman. Wanted to let you know there’s an exploding shoe in the backstage area. You can put on this pyrotechnic footwear anytime. Use the laces to attach the exploding shoe to your foot. You can lace the shoe criss-cross or use a variety of lacing styles depending on how tight you want the shoe.

Are we totally sure it was the shoe and that Moxley's head just can't do that after suffering a bunch of damage?

Shard posted:I have no blood, but I must bleed That was my favorite exchange during the scrum, when MJF was answering the question on whether he felt slighted that the title match didn't close the show: MJF: "No, because why would I want to roll around in Jon Moxley's blood?" Tony: "Actually, he was the only one who didn't bleed in that match." MJF: "Really?" Tony: "Yeah." MJF: "Hmm. Go figure."

That exchange about who did or didn't bleed was about Yuta, not Moxley. Sorry for being a stickler. Mox bleeds in 95% of his matches and he wouldn't dare keep all his blood in him during a PPV main event. Again, sorry. But it was Yuta they were talking about.

I think this thread occasionally puts us in an extra defensive mode, because we've had a few comments of "Yeah I'm not sure if I missed something before the exploding sneaker spot" get treated the same as "this is outlaw mudshow crap that only the guys backstage enjoy! Are we to believe the Jacksons have magical powers now?" or like it's coming from someone who obviously doesn't watch AEW. But also I do want the Bucks to have magical sneaker and basketball related powers which become the focal point of some of their matches. Yes!

Matt had to do the exploding shoe bit so no one would remember the American Dragon pulling himself down a handrail into a trashcan. (The spot was great, but it's also a very silly visual.)

Imo wrestling is actually at its best when cool poo poo just happens. It doesn’t have to make sense. It just needs to look badass. A dude having an exploding super kick is badass.
