Absolutely agree. Too bad the last 90 seconds is going to be the lasting legacy of this PPV.

Honestly I was surprised the ropes pyro looked as good as it did. The “triple hell” explosions were about what I was expecting.

I was also expecting them to just flash some lights at the camera to blow out the CCDs for a split second and release some smoke.

Brasky used to ride upon a steed, perchance to spy a lady.

AEW needs to stop tripping over its own dick when it comes to production. They've got amazing talent and good booking. But it all goes out the window when poo poo like this happens.

Those loving sparklers are going to be all anyone remember from this, or at least it will be the very first thing everyone remembers. It's the climax of the main event! I can't tell you a thing about WM31 except Seth cashing in and swinging the belt around his head like a madman.

The audio issues have been going on since the beginning. The camera work is regressing, unless I don't remember the pre-COVID shows well enough. JR should not have been on tonight, and really should be phased out and only used for big matches or stuff up his alley like the dog collar match. The Hardy-Guevara match not being called off after that spot was piss poor management. Call an audible. Which is what they should have done tonight.

I like AEW very much. I don't love it, because stuff that isn't pre-taped keeps feeling like amateur hour.

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.

You typed everything I was going to say. Minus that I do love it still.

poo poo happens. Happens to every single company.

Being in the public though like they are though, AEW has to tighten up moving forward. Sound, production, social media. They’re big enough now that they can go hire some more skilled professionals here and replace some of the people they grabbed Day 1 when they weren’t established.

Just gotta tighten up. That way when poo poo happens (it will), maybe it’ll be less than what does happen and to eliminate risk with the number of amateur moves they make.

They’re up against an incredible competitor and if they want to play in that sandbox, they can improve here and get even better than how great they already are.

Edit: The camerawork is regressing. The camerawork is regressing. The camerawork is regressing. Please step it up AEW friends!!!

Jokes aside, this is my thought process as well. They've got the right guys - Omega, Moxley and Kingston to recover from this. But this is gonna be something that gets brought up for the next..3-5 years I'd say. They'll need to continue to produce a fantastic product (and the vast majority of it is fantastic) to distance themselves from it.

nonono I agree sparklers can give you a burn if you keep your hand on them Kingston knows how much Moxley loves violence and wanted to make sure he didn't need to take a ice bath after the match.

GOTTA GO FIST
- Britt/Itoh vs Rosa/Riho was good fun. I still think it deserved Miro & Kip vs OC & Chuck's spot. I hoped it would be Itoh. I'm happy she'll be having a Dynamite match too.
- Bucks/MJFicho was good. Not the best of the Bucks, but that's fine because it's time to get this MJF/Jericho split on the road.
- Tag battle royale was a battle royale which I almost never enjoy. I can admit I got suckered into thinking GoD would appear. Bucks/Death Triangle is likely to slap and I'll always come alive for Fenix. Solid middle.
- Shida/Mizunami ruled. All the worst people are sandbagging it for ??? reasons. I thought it was a fun watch.
- I like Miro looking like a monster. I hope the angle here is an end to him and Kip.
- Hangman/Matt turned out to be much better than I expected. That Buckshot was super hype. Good match.
- Scorpio Sky is boring. I've never seen Ethan Page before. I think he looked good though. I hate the mid-match nap spot. Crowd booed Cody and rightfully so. It's lame. Hopefully Sky can give Darby a good title defense and we can get to the next program.
- The cinematic match turned out to be awesome. Great presentation. No spooky stuff. Hell of a lot of fun once Hook and Hobbs showed up. This would be the most talked about thing to me if not for...
- That main event. God drat heart breaker. I'm in shambles. So fun and exciting until that ending killed the whole PPV. Crowd booed. TK, Kenny, and the rest must be furious.

And Christian is cool, but we probably should've done more than clipboard appearance. Paul Wight didn't even come out.

Oh, also my son had to go to bed before the Exploding Barbedwire Deathmatch so he hasn't seen it.

I can't wait to show it to him, he was so hyped.


And Mox using the explosion to get out of a pinfall continues to be a great moment.

Right. And I think AEW rolling with it helps that. If they kept resetting the clock and going no dudes it was a huge explosion dont you all remember it would stay a fresh memory.
