The spring and summer of '21 was AEW's hottest period. The decline started after Full Gear in November.

I thought you were saying Tony's weird "evil gm" character said it jokingly in one of those skits he was doing or something. I hope Moxley stubs his toe every day the rest of his life and that eddie never has a satisfying sandwich again God damn.

Kingston thought his friend was going to get blown up along with the whole stadium. Turned out after Omega beat Moxley he added insult to injury by making Kingston look like an idiot cause there was no explosion. Pinning Moxley 1,2,3 was enough but Kenny wanted to embarrass Kingston too. This eventually led to the two feuding with omega and the Good Brothers later you stupid dumbfuck E-Drones. Stop pretending to be retarded.

The reality is Tony cheaped out on fireworks. That's it. AEW was dogshit at production for the first few years because they had no clue what they were doing. Remember when Jericho fell from the top of the cage onto the "steel" stage that was just a bunch of steel diamond plate pattern printed onto poster board covering a crash pad?

Tony fumbled

>>20031224
And if it was their plan, why did Kingston sell it like death?
Remember on TV his explanation was he is on meds and had a panic attack and fainted? LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>
>>20031223
How about take solace in the fact AEW has actually gotten BETTER at production over the years instead of constantly shooting themselves in the foot with failed effects like this. You won't have to come up with your own pathetic head canon that way.
>>
>>20031236
>replies 2 minutes later
fucking loser.
>>
>>20031237
Didn't that explanation come AFTER the embarrassing, failed explosion? It was all just back pedaling to make it seem like AEW didn't cheap out on the special effect.
>>
>>20031246
Afraid so.
Their big explanation was that Eddie Kingston is a medicated fat pig loser who faints on PPV.
>>
>>20031210
THIS. AEW's production was terrible for the first few years. Just like the shark cage that Tay couldn't unlock during the Shark Week episode. A few years in, they hired an ex-WWE guy that used to handle WWE's production and they've been better off ever since because he actually has years of experience setting up these spots and effects, and fired all of the amateurs.

What escapes me so much with this spot was that they had a chance to skate from most of the bashing they got had they just went with it & Eddie didn’t sell like he had just taken a heart attack in the ring. The following weeks’ explanation that Kenny wasn’t seriously going to stake getting blown up was a good save that could’ve gotten some heat on the angle.

There's a reason soccer players, football players, and pro wrestlers have all separately called Tony Khan a clown at various times. He's a completely inept nepobaby that's never had a real job in his life. He's just wasting Daddy's fortune playing with his real life action figures. It became obvious a few years in AEW only exists to keep Tony away from fucking with Shad's sports teams.
>>
>>20031425
Tony thought people would think this is so cool
>>
>>20031406
The save would've worked better if Tony forced Kenny and Don to go back out there the second the explosions failed and have Don cut an improv promo on just wanting to mentally fuck with Mox and Kingston and Kenny never planned to put himself in any real danger. Waiting until the next Dynamite just made it obvious they had to cover somehow.

There was still a live audience present, tho, some of which were live tweeting the whole event.

There's literally a scene in this NFL Draft doc on Netflix of a bunch of NFL players openly laughing at Tony's dumb fucking neck brace. He REALLY thought he could get AEW some national exposure at the NFL Draft by selling a neck injury all week. This was the same time he also tried calling WWE the Harvey Weinstein of Wrestling, and NFL Network nearly cut the interview off immediately to avoid defamation suits. Tony is fucking retarded. There's a reason NFL hasn't highlighted him since. He's an embarrassment to the league.

I don't remember what the interview or podcast was, but Kenny said he was so angry about the botched explosions that he had to go into a room with the Bucks to vent so the boys didn't see him lose his shit.

Kenny's AEW run is similar to Angles run in TNA.
They're treated like these goated veterans who are now allowed to call their shots... when they were obviously constantly being coached in their previous position.
Just don't have the mentality to be good wrestlers, the athleticism is/was there, but they never wrapped their minds around psychology, pacing or storytelling.
Kenny also makes stupid as fuck faces, probably because he doesn't experience emotions the same way normal people do.
>>
>>20031310
That's embarrassing.
>>
>>20031478
Yeah, it was supposed to be a stage made out of steel diamond plate (like you'd typically see on a wrestling show) but they just printed diamond plate design onto some balsa wood and covered up a crash pad. It MAYBE would have looked better if they'd used larger pieces, but as soon as he hits the crash pad, all of the individual pieces went flying, and you could see the crash pad he landed on. Shotzi made a tweet with a girl falling on a mattress to make fun of it, and AEW stans flooded her mentions and harassed her for weeks over it.
