She's obviously an awful person but that isn't a great look from Tony either, can you imagine Vince or Triple H doing that, eesh. Being that Vince and Triple H will both copyright for much less( We couldnt USE GIFS of WWE IRCC for some time) And say much worse things on air,yes I can believe it.

Man, TK is out there with more salt than the dead sea. I can appreciate the psuedo-kayfabe he's trying, here, but hunch is telling me that he's beyond pissed that it went down like it did and has been in a very tense damage control ever since.

Originally the ban was just not letting people link to videos cause Proboards got a cease and desist and almost flat out killed the board... and the mods at the time weren't really given a what we can and can't do list at the time. It was also likely automated and not manually handed out like the ones mentioned earlier are... again I don't know who they are or what they did with the footage, but someone by hand flagged those.

Pretty realistic anyone would be angry after the big end to a PPV didn't go right, even after several successful rehersals. But considering who the person was he replied to, I think he was in the right to shut them down, people shouldn't get the wrong idea from someone who is that shitty.

Weirdly enough, I just finished the PPV with my dad (like VERY casual fan getting back into wrasslin with AEW) and he was fine with the end and thought it'd be way worse with the way I described it when I warned him about it lol

Bryan Alvarez made a really interesting comment that the Death Rider onto the barbed wire board got a pretty poor reaction just because the explosion was underwhelming...even though it was a Death Rider off the apron onto a barbed wire board. Expectations really do a lot to influence the reaction.

Mox/Eddie saying "TNA did it" is like the most logical thing I've heard in pro wrestling lmao

They covered it up super well
Kingston's an absolute pro and can turn anything into gold, I'm convinced. Mox calling Kenny incompetant, and Callis and Kenny not wanting to admit they f***ed up and trying to spin it that they planned it all along
No one wanted to admit that it went wrong, the psycho heels should admit it went wrong, but Kingston and Mox will dig them for it, and it causes a perfect feud out of what was basically a shit situation
Kudos all around.

Mox/Eddie saying "TNA did it" is like the most logical thing I've heard in pro wrestling lmao As someone who's only keeping tabs from afar, is this working partnership really doing anything to benefit Impact? Because all I see of it are Tony Khan paid ads making fun of them on their own show, and now they're making fun of them on Dynamite too.

They're legacy is never not gonna be something to take shots at, in any partnership they were not gonna avoid their past lol

I think they pulled off a great show tonight that I felt takes the sting out of what happened at the end of Revolution. People will forever laugh at it, people will forever use it as fuel if they are non AEW fan. But the way Eddie Kingston explained everything and they why they played it all off, I think they salvaged what they could and it pulled it off. Now I feel better about things going forward with AEW.

Yes both their ratings and buy rates have increased significantly since.

It's because they're getting people to watch the shows (me included) and the product is pretty damn good

Khan presents himself as a clear heel to Impact fans as well so like, in the whole context he's supposed to come off like full of himself. Kingston also established in the Callis promo tonight doesn't like Impact, they brought up their past history, so it all worked in kayfabe senses.

One underrated part of Kingston's promo was how open he was about his PTSD triggering during the non-explosion and owning up to it. You don't get that kind of humanity from a wrestling storyline often.
