Mick Foley Believes AEW Should Have Admitted Ring Explosion Didn t Go To Plan Posted By: Ben Kerin on Mar 10, 2021
Mick Foley took to his social media to comment on the controversial ending to Sunday s AEW Revolution pay-per-view.
He believes that AEW should have admittedd that the explosion didn t go to plan.
SAD BUT TRUE!
I should know.I ve been there when the ring that was supposed to EXPLODE at the King of the Death Match tournament in 1995 underperformed in a similar manner. I feel genuinely bad for Omega and Moxley, who worked their butts off and put their bodies on the line - and for Eddie Kingston, whose act of selflessness in saving Moxley was obviously not the powerful image it could have been.
