I mostly feel for Eddie. That would have been an iconic moment from him but instead he looked like a dork.
Match still ruled until that point.

Same, plus I really wanted to see an Eddie Kingston face turn too.

Eddie got f***ed. I understand him not calling an audible because who knows if they were aware of how botched it was, plus if he’d diverted truthfully it could be seen as him shitting over what he thought were the company plans.
Just an awful position for him to be in but I think he’ll make chicken salad out of it.

This is twice for Eddie though, first it was the battle royal when he was never eliminated, and now the botched Pyro.
Just give him the mic and problem solved.

I'm going with it was sabotaged by that pyro guy Cody fired for scaring his dog. LONG. TERM. BOOKING. Gedo: "Shit, they're outdoing me in my game!"

WWE did some exploding corner pyro tonight for the Orton segment, and one of the corners just didn't go off I'm not saying when it rains it pours but I think ring exploives are cursed

So all that work that Omega and Onita put into this contraption and this is what we ended up with? Sure, it's different if it's a highlight on youtube but when you paid money to see this? It's unacceptable. Omega worked on it, it was his grand master plan. Onita only cut a promo from Japan on it, I dont think he had any genuine input. People also paid money for four hours of a show, and a match that was perfectly great and finished fine. This sucked, but I also don't know if it means people wasted 50 bucks on the show that otherwise was very good seems to be the popular opinion? If people feel that way I guess that's valid but I also think it undercuts everything else that happened on the show. Haven’t seen it yet, but from what I’ve read (especially on the Observer boards), a lot of people were unhappy with the show overall. The ending was just the topper.

I've seen a lot of genuinely positive feedback, but a lot of people have overblown the Christian reveal and this incident to make it "The worst AEW PPV Ever" I still don't put this under All Out in quality, even the Matt Hardy moment at All Out was worse than this botch, at least this botch was in the end harmless stuff you can laugh at.

The show was above average to good other than the ending and (in some people’s opinion) the ladder match. I don’t really know what anyone’s qualms would be about anything else on the card. Brian Zane’s review (love him or hate him) hit the nail on the head for me. He gave pretty much every match 3.5 stars or higher, then gave the show as a whole a B- because the entire PPV was sold on the build to an explosion that looked like Gillberg making his entrance. But, the show as a whole was average at worst.

A lot of positive feedback too, but I did see other complaints about way too many run-ins and post match beatdowns, Sky winning the ladder match, the ladder match being mediocre, the commentary over the cinematic match, Christian being underwhelming and the ending ruining a great main event.

I said it in the live thread, but I call this the third or fourth worst AEW show after All Out 2020 and Full Gear 2019. It's there with All Out 2019. It was a good show marred by some mistakes that kept it from being a great show. If everything went well with All Out 2020 it would've been a decent show at best, but that infamous Matt Hardy spot took me out of the show for the rest of the night. Everyone should be thanking their lucky stars that Matt didn't suffer a serious injury from it, especially from continuing the match after the bump. Full Gear 2019 was alright but also kinda dull.

The run-ins/post match beatdowns are something I wish they'd temper in general. Feels like it's something that's way overused in AEW in general.

I dont mind it when it sets up matches and future storylines. Like the women's match set up a big six woman for Dynamite, or Jack Evans costing 10 in the Battle Royale and then 10 got his revenge when Jack tried that shit again in the Ladder Match, but I do agree they really like doing it. They have a lot of people they like featuring on the show and the beatdown is a good way to do it, but I get how it can be seen as repetitive It works way better with a big crowd, AEW had a big crowd last night so I guess they wanted to lean into it on the PPV a bit

The run-ins got ridiculous last night. It worked for the women's title match especially as it actually gives Shida an angle to work with, but it felt so superfluous for a lot of the other times it happened.
That hurt the overall show more than a hilariously botched ending segment IMO.

Vocal Minority sucks, but it appears plenty of people were very and are very excited Even the Mox promo after the show got a ton of positive praise for spinning the situation. Not everyone's gonna be pleased though, people will be pissed, it happens, you just gotta improve and make it better. Full Gear 2020 was an amazing show after All Out. Double or Nothing now hopefully bounces back the conclusion to Revolution.

If I were to guess, I think Tony might go more basic with Double or Nothing and just deliver straightforward big matches without many gimmicks.

I'd do one gimmick match, Stadium Stampede 2, between Hangman/Dark Order and Big Money Inc. Otherwise, yeah probably go more standard

It was a botch that they will get over. It really doesn’t change that fact that AEW makes a mostly excellent TV show and I will not regret the feeling of anticipation I had for it. Because I thought it was a wonderful show up until the explosion botch.
I probably need a thicker skin because I was super depressed about how it all went down and the reactions to people laughing at it to people trashing the company. Now I can probably handle the laughing at it because it was really lame. But the people who were just waiting for AEW to fail at something really bummed me out and probably angered me a bit. But that’s not that big of a deal either. AEW will have a great show tomorrow and then we will look on to Double or Nothing.
