MoS Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 How do they address the biggest, most embarrassing both in their history? Apologise and move on? Try to work it in a storyline? Double down on it? Pray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin' Brian Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hopefully either apologize and move on or work it into the storyline. I’d rather see it worked into the storyline but only if they can make it make sense. If they can’t come up with a good reason that doesn’t make everyone involved look like crap then apologize and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted March 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Yeah I think the same. Wrestling fans might mock you mercilessly, but they are also forgiving in general if you don't feed them bullshit. ECW managed to recover from two such failed explosions. WCW's biggest moments came AFTER similarly embarrassing misfires like Shockmaster. But they have to not bullshit the fans or insult their intelligence. If you do that for an extended period of time, fans absolutely will leave you, like we saw with WCW and WWE for the last 20 years or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 I think the show tonight will be really important in how AEW is perceived moving forward. There's going to be some ill-will from the Pay-Per-View on Sunday, especially from the people that paid $50 during a pandemic to watch it. So they need to do something, and I don't think they should just ignore it or make a joke of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Giving us a Fenix match to kick off the show is a good start on the make good process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted March 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 This "he didn't hook the leg" is becoming a commentary clutch. Excalibur mentioned it about Fenix's pin on Matt. Fenix didn't hook the legs because he was pinning Matt's further arm and shoulder. It might be picking nits, but it makes the pinning wrestler look sloppy, and doesn't highlight the amazing achievement that kicking out of it was.

Log Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Alright. I liked that promo. Admit it wasn’t what it was supposed to be and move on. Helps to have the best talker in wrestling explaining it, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted March 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 I might be biased as a King fan, but he somehow semi-salvaged this?! And blaming IMPACT for it was gold. They do need to still finish it nicely though, that promo by itself isn't enough. Moxs' wink after the "If you have a weapon, use it " line is a hopeful sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 The real shame of this explosion debacle is that, if it had been an impressive explosion, it would’ve made Kingston’s face turn an all-timer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted March 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 PENTA has such a charismatic presence, it's a shame they had done both Fenix and PENTA a disservice by continuing to pair them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Ok, ok. I see what they’re doing with Sting now. So, AEW is the spiritual successor to WCW. In WCW, Sting was always getting turned on. In AEW, he always gets interrupted. That’s his new thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
