If they were going to do a cinematic match, the Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match should have been a cinematic match. Now I get it with fans there, you don't want your main event to be a cinematic match and fans looking at the screen the entire time.

Omega announced the Death Match on Feb 17th, tickets went on sale the following Friday on the 26th. All AEW had to do was say due to the danger involved in this match we will not have fans in attendance for the show. Then they could have went all out with the explosions. It just sucks that all that build to what mounted to a dud, took away from how great the match was.

Even if had gone off better, hearing JR and Schiavone screaming like the building was going to explode was a little ridiculous. Hard to criticize silliness in other promotions when you do that.

It's really not that big of a deal though. It's a ****ty finish, but it happens to every company. It's disappointing tonight (especially after the announcers selling the countdown), but this one will live on in Botchamania, everyone will have a good laugh, and we'll roll on to the next thing.

It's systemic of a bigger issue with Kahn. Constantly overselling and under delivering is a recipe for disaster. Especially as the "honeymoon phase" ends and people actually begin criticizing the product.

In particular, if and/or when they reach a bigger audience that will be harsher with criticism than the diehard fans they have now.

I enjoyed the show but it wasn't amazing. Ladder match was extremely underwhelming (I'm getting sick of Cody and can't tell if I'm supposed to or not storyline wise), street fight was fun but commentary was unnecessary, and the main event was pretty hot until that laughable finish...though the one winged angel on the chair was nuts! For all the unscripted promo nature they should have had Kenny and Callis come out laughing saying "you really think we'd blow up a ring"?

As for the reveal, Christian can still go I'm sure, but I really wanted someone from NJPW or CM Punk. I know the latter will never wrestle again but one can hope.

Would’ve been better if they had Eddie Kingston, instead of selling like he got knocked out in an explosion...lift his head up after the fact and be like what the hell was that...then have Mox say what he said after the cameras went off after he recovered for a few

Underwhelming theatrics at the end aside...it was a good show.

Lots to digest here

Spoiler

Lol, Britt Baker DMD tried to write a doctor's note herself to get Reba out of the match.

The tag team royale is basically a tag team royal rumble? I liked that.

Inner Circle "War Council". Reminds me of Survivor Tribal Council. Perhaps it is, and someone will be "voted off" the Inner Circle? MJF getting Jericho kicked out? All Out is their big PPV. MJF vs Jericho following the Inner Circle split would be a match made for that show.

Speaking of All Out. They said it's happening at Dailys Place. So AEW won't be moving out of there until at least June?

I hope this is finally leading to Hangman joining the Dark Order.

The mystery 6th man in the ladder match (I know it's a brass ring, but it just looks like a giant cheerio) is Ethan Page. Forget the Nightmare Family and Gunn Club. Let's have the Page Posse. Diamond Dallas Page, Hangman Adam Page and now All Ego Ethan Page. Maybe Paige comes in too lol.

The big name to AEW is Christian! I'm surprised WWE didnt even bother signing him back. Too bad we don't get "one more match" with Edge and Christian tagging up again. Is everyone Orton punted gonna end up in AEW? Like people said though, was there a need to announce a major signing? They could've simply said "a former Impact World Champion"(to play on the current rivalry). But glad to see Christian being able to compete again.

The cinematic street fight was real good! That Darby jump was insane! Sadly these kinds of matches cant happen with packed crowds because I'm sure those fans will hate staring at a screen for 20+ mins when they paid to be there. So enjoy the last few cinematic matches we'll have.

That main event, I love how AEW can do these extreme matches. It wasn't ECW or anything, but I always loved the hardcore matches WWE did in the 00s. This match was insane! I avoided seeing what this match was when it happened before so I could be fully surprised and taking it in for the first time. It delivered! For all the jokes about being WWE/WCW like, I'd love seeing more of this extreme, ECW, Japanese styled hardcore stuff.

That last minute warning sirens was so cool. Too bad for pyro malfunctions because that would've been THE moment of the night! The second I saw the sparklers, I thought it was a prank. Like the sparklers to make you think it was all just a joke and then BOOM!

I hope they explain it on TV. Cover it up like Kenny says when he saw Eddie go and sacrifice himself, Kenny "called off the hit". If not for Eddie, Mox would've blown up.

Maybe bring in the explosives they did have planned and have Dynamite end with it? Mox in the ring, and just when you think it's all over, BOOM, fade to black.
