Honestly, the best part of all of it besides the spot itself was Don Callis responding to it by saying "How is that legal?" and Tony Schiavone screaming "HOW IS THAT LEGAL?!" to which then you can hear his brain short circuiting from the absurdity of asking such a thing.

If you wanted to really position the pillars as those guys you def should have put them in the main event But, AITA had a shit ton of stat power so can't really argue against it I've been lurking Reddit far too much that I thought AITA in your post meant "Am I The Asshole?" at first. "I superkicked my Violent Co-Worker With Exploding Shoes, AITA?"

Can you imagine how batshit insane most wrestling angles would seem when writing in the style of an AITA post?
I think that's an idea for a thread, hahaha.

I know why it wasn't given how it all ended, but I feel like that was the type of spot that should normally have ended a match. It was super fun, though.

Watched the show tonight and man I popped hard for it as it totally caught me off guard
I love stuff like this so long (So long as it’s done safely as possible obviously)

I wonder a bit how some people who had an issue with this would have reacted to seeing Candice LeRae get superkicked with the thumbtacked sneaker. God, I hate Joey Ryan for retroactively ruining that match.

And people claim there's no way these menaces could have superkicked open Punk's locker room door? Checkmate atheists. What are the odds this is Matt taking the piss because of those “they kicked the door open” stories? 50/50? Better?? I’m definitely leaning toward “oh absolutely” 😂

It's cool that we all like different things but I kind of hated it and the match itself wasn't really for me either. The world title four-way should have closed the show if it wasn't for Takeshita's turn, in my opinion MJF was asked about it in the post-show scrum and responded "What, and roll around in Jon Moxley's blood? No thank you." And then a longer answer about how "the title has to be last" is an outdated concept, but still. I usually like the company's biggest title being on last... however, I think the BCC/Elite angle had been presented as a really big deal for weeks and, in this case, was fine closing the show.

I love that he needed a permit for that.

If there isn’t a gag in the next BTE about having to sign a permit for exploding sneakers…

"I killed my co-worker's dog and made him eat the remains. AITA?" "Just joshin' around with a guy I've worked with for years, I dressed up as him and pretended to bang a corpse representing his late girlfriend in a funeral home. AITA?" This really should be a thread I made my employee strip and bark like a dog after making out with her in front of my comatose wife. AITA? My boss fired me for persistent insubordination so I made him piss his pants at gunpoint on live television. AITA?

If AEW ever decides to do another exploding barbed wire death match, it should be in Vegas and Matt should be in charge of setting up the pyro. Matt's pyro went off perfectly after all.
