10 Wrestling Matches That Accidentally Filmed Things You Weren't Meant To See
10. Painted Cardboard At AEW Blood & Guts
The discourse has thankfully eased.
What a sh*tty day that was to have picked wrestling as a hobby and created a Twitter account, Jesus f*cking Christ.
At AEW Blood & Guts, Chris Jericho took a tremendous, admirable risk to get the story over, and that story can be traced back to August 2020. Jericho, pondering whether or not to induct MJF into the Inner Circle, called his protege "soft". This act of sadistic violence proved otherwise, and it was arrived at through a continuation of the epic chess game on which the entire rivalry was premised.
None of this mattered or resonated because AEW's production team botched the shot.
You were not meant to see that that the "metal" covering the crash pad was in fact cardboard because AEW made what can technically be described as an "effort" to obscure it. It was a sh*tty effort, but an effort nonetheless. The entire landing area looked pathetic, and for a company otherwise pretty damn intelligent in booking its storylines, this was as thick as f*cking sh*t. Of course the impact was going to send the cardboard flying. A slight breeze sends cardboard flying.
Instead of the god's eye view, AEW filmed the impact in close-up, and Jericho almost cracked the back of his head open for nothing.
