tony needs to chill it with his "nuh uh i did this on purpose actually this is how it was supposed to go" poo poo its honestly one thing that could really gently caress the whole thing up. that wasnt the plan dude, mox bailed your rear end out on the faceplant, acting like its anything else just makes ALL YOUR EMPLOYEES look stupid.

Thinking back on it the ending had some comedic timing to it, the dramatic countdown, the ex friend, the "explosion", the wait for the real explosion to go off as that little display was surely to fool everyone and lull people into a false sense of security before the big explosion and then slowly the realization dawns on the viewer that was it.

Tony's interviews are always a muddled mix of kayfabe and shoot, why would this one be any different? Of course he's going to follow Mox's lead, what did you expect, for him to say "Oh yeah, that was a total fuckup, thank god Moxley was able to come up with that great in-character explanation for our storyline being ruined by a special effects malfunction!"

The whiplash from the great match to the setup of Moxley in the ring to Eddie coming out to saving him to the fizzled explosives and the announcers and Eddie selling them was one of the greatest things I'll ever witness.

If you replaced Kenny with Miro, Moxley with Chuck Taylor and Eddie with Orange Cassidy, it would have been the perfect ending as-is

It was pretty funny. I was incorrect to think that I could make it work in my own head canon, and gave that up as soon as Moxley made fun of it. Plus, I couldn't enjoy the memes if I ignored reality. And, when anything fucks up on a wrestling show, the initial memes are the saving grace. My honest reaction that I typed live to someone during the match was that "This is the dumbest thing ever, but in a really good way." And then Eddie got me semi-emotional with his attempt to save Moxley, which isn't easy to do after decades watching. And then there was the great fizzle. And then, since I've never seen any matches of this type before, my friend sent me gifs of companies doing it better, and I was like oh. It was a rollercoaster, basically. I will ignore people who suck clowning it in unfunny ways like Cornette and Cornette, but I will take enjoyment from the many people who don't suck clowning it in funny ways. It sucks that it made some people feel bad, though. --- As far as actually being disappointed in AEW, Ethan Page was much more of a disappointment. And, even then, there was an alleged pre-show link of Shamrock's tonytron on the big screen, so things could have been much worse.

for better or worse, the wet fart explosion will be remembered longer and debated more intensely than if it had just been a decent/competent explosive effect at the end, everyone's probably feeling a bit exposed, but it's a live performance and you just roll with it, it literally won't matter after a few weeks edit: but yes in that moment you should have been laughing until your face hurt, because it was funny smarxist fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Mar 8, 2021 |

The explosions being poo poo isn't the problem so much as the selling of the explosions. Not that it's Eddie's fault. He was just doing his job/what he was told to do. But that's the part where I think this becomes creatively unsolvable. You just have to pretend he didn't do it I guess.

Eddie was terrified that his friend was going to die and now he's pissed at Kenny for humiliating him.

It's the part where he keels over that's the problem. I guess he passed out from fear or something? It's a stretch, that's for sure. If they go down that route they should just get it over quickly and not mention it ever again

That part can kinda just be ignored, but you can't ignore the patheticness of the sparklers and explosions. That's the thing everyone will remember more than Kingston's selling. I think at the end of the day AEW has three options: 1) pretend the explosions actually WERE incredibly dangerous bombs that almost killed mox and eddie 2) completely ignore the end ever happened - focus on the bell to bell action. it was after all an incredibly violent spectacle and mox and kenny's work here shouldn't be ignored anyway. 3) try and work the limp ending into whatever story they had planned to begin with. I think option 3 is the best option, but that's just me. If they're gonna go with Eddie vs Omega they kind of have to go with 3 because Eddie wasn't involved in the bell to bells stuff.

If they go down that route they should just get it over quickly and not mention it ever again I was pretty entertained by the idea that someone jokingly had that he was drunk. That's probably too silly, but if they wanted to redo his big turn, they could have him say that he was blackout drunk and has no recollection of trying to help that fucker Moxley.
