They really need to stop with these attempts at elaborate and totally unnecessary stunts, desperately trying to recreate 2000 within modern day safety parameters and without the knowledge and expertise to pull it off. It’s bad enough when WWE are sticking crash mats and air bags on and under their announce tables, but at least it’s usually from a height that looks respectable and filmed from an angle that would potentially convince the uninitiated. Though NXT’s use of hammers at (ironically) WarGames last year in the women’s match Shotzi was also in was as equally unconvincing, but that was less about the prop, more about the non existent sell job of getting hit WITH A strawberry floating HAMMER.
As it is, what could be AEW’s biggest or 2nd biggest audience ever on TNT just saw Jericho fall onto a Tempur mattress.Casual viewer laughs. Never comes back.
If there's a TV match that needs to be viewed on the Fite app instead of ITV4 this one is definitely it. On the basis of the announce team, there's a lot of adverts throughout - seems to be 3 within the last 20 or so minutes. They're in a commercial break during a rather pivotal point in the match involving the keys.
