(I'm not saying it was a good idea for him to say that btw, just that it's the idea he's trying to spin going forward)

Tony was trying to spin it in the post show presser, like how apparently the story is going to be that Kenny sucks at building big explosions.

I thought the Rock-Mankind I quit match was pretty much ruined by the finish, everyone remembers it for Rock getting too amped and almost legit smashing Foley's head flat with chairshots. The worst part is if he hadn't have done it, it still would have left a bad taste in people's mouths for doing the "record Mankind saying I Quit on Heat and obviously play that over the PA" bit. Brock-Roman was a banger until Seth inserted himself in and won, which nobody really wanted to see and pissed off Sika legit.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure the plan was for there to be a big kaboom, but it was a dud and didn't go off the way it was supposed to. So it's not that they thought they could get away with sparklers, but things just fucked up on them.

Ed Boon (creator of Mortal Kombat) retweeted a pic a fan did of Kofi and Xavier's Scorpion and Sun Zero gear. That would be a big deal for a company ran by someone who had any idea what Mortal Kombat is.

That new backstage interview guy is like an alternate timeline Finn Balor who became an announcer bot instead of a wrestler.

So it seems Regal's two big announcements for NXT are moving to Tuesdays after Mania (maybe also announcing the rumored two day Takeover) and NXT women's tag titles.

Get it, Reginald!

Lana and Naomi are the new Daft Punk

Does Shane want to fuck Braun? This segment is excruciating.

No clue, but it led to Kofi dropping a GET OVER HERE like Scorpion so I'll allow it.

OK so obviously I'm popping hard for Xavier Woods' Mortal Kombat inspired gear.

That ending though, woof. Can't think of a lamer finish to a no DQ match than a ref stop due to lightly bonking each other heads on the steps.

Sheamus coming hard for the "he doesn't do anything wrong or badly, I just don't give a shit" title.

Big Bob coming out looking scary while MVP is behind him all swagged out is a licence to print money.

This is shaping up to be a disaster. Peacock is going to be overrun with angry wrestling fans and they will have no idea why.

Well at this point it is what it is, shit happened and everyone got their lols. Best thing to do now is to move on and focus on everything that was set up by the show: Maki Itoh is going to get over like mad with her antics, and her teaming with Britt will be a sight for sure. Jericho is seemingly about to get punked out of the Inner Circle with MJF pulling a coup. Silver vs PAC in a LITTLE MEATY MEN SLAPPING MEAT match seems sure to happen soon. Bucks vs PAC/Fenix will surely be amazing just because everything Fenix does is amazing. Scorpio Sky will have his TNT title match and they seemed to be planting the seeds for a heel turn. Also they need to come up with some kind of alliance to fight Team Callis. My biggest issue with the main event was how the Kenny and the Good Brothers beat up Mox forever and no one came out to help. I know Mox's gimmick is that he's a lone wolf, but it came off as very "nWo beats up a WCW guy and no one comes out" to me. .

Dave didn't do that tweet, the JN at the end means it was Josh Nason, who does recaps for the site. Dave only posts from his own account, that was the website account.

They can still sell it as the violent match it was and spin it as Kenny being either being smart enough to not rig up an explosion to kill himself in (since they established in the build he created everything used) or he just was overconfident and fucked it up. Either way would work with his character. The Eddie stuff is harder to save, but they were fortunate that if things were going to go wrong it happened to involve the one man on the planet who can explain it away.

It can be salvaged, Eddie can do a promo that the sight of his bro all battered and bloodied devastated him...he's good enough on the mic that I believe he could pull it off. It really sucks that it comes to that though.

That sucks so much that those two put on a hell of a violent show, only to have it torpedoed by something out of their control.

If Mox got the skin on his face torn off and it showed a Terminator skull I wouldn't be surprised.

Also props to Kenny for wearing a white shirt in a bloodbath, always a great move.

He is the true successor to the Onita/Funk/Cactus legacy.

Poor Renee (who tweeted a backstage pic with Brandi comparing bumps) must be dying right now.
