Can’t blame him - head down, he’d have been unable to see it didn’t go off well, and you could argue that in both kayfabe and IRL he wouldn’t have known if another charge was primed and hadn’t gone off yet. It needed someone outside the ring to call an audible IMO.

Got the impression the commentary table weren’t sure whether to put it over or cover up as well.

They’re trying to sell the idea that Kenny totally wanted to go through with it but he’s just shit at rigging up explosives. Which is…less than ideal. But after a botch like that you’ve just gotta pick a story and stick to it. Quite looking forward to seeing how they clean up this mess tbh - Kingston’s next promo should be fun.

Slow to this, but got round to watching the ESPN 30 for 30 on Rick Flair. Good innit.

Literally on his death bed, Shane, Steph, Tri all gathered round waiting to hear his last words and who he’s putting in charge…

“SELL IT TO WALT DISNEY DAMMIT!..”

Think he’s definitely positioning to sell the whole lot to NBC (owned by Disney), on the proviso triple h and steph run the day-to-day.
If he pulls it off before the inevitable it’s an incredible story of what one man can do with an entertainment business over a lifetime, to the detriment of literally anything else in your life, but still.

You’re still sort of right though it will be one of the two. Technically Disney owns Smackdown now so

Enjoying the gall of Randall going off at Soulja Boy for calling wrestling fake using a still featuring Drew McIntyre and Sheamus while he, concurrently, is feuding with a supernatural beast and his possessed puppet/devotee magically making him throw up black gunk weekly.

Btw that match he’s using as a example ended with Drew and Sheamus putting sets of stairs over their heads and charging into each other.

Should’ve called an audible and had Kingston attack Ambrose out of embarrassment when he realised what had happened.

That or a musical ending.

This is still epic;

From 20:45 but probably needs the match before it for context

I was in disbelief after that point. The white shirt guy is lying there “unconscious” being worked on by the medics. Did the pyros fail or something? It was ludicrously shit
