Tony Khan has defended the spectacle between Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega after the battle was perceived to have had an anti-climatic ending. The match up ended with a dud explosion, which failed to stimulate the appetite of the spectators.
Tony Khan Defends Jon Moxley And Kenny Omega Bout!
But during an interview on AEW Revolution’s post-match show, Tony defended both wrestlers and, on the whole, enjoyed the occasion. He said: “Both guys are great. Honestly, I’m glad neither guy came out with a serious injury because it was a really scary match, and they both really put their health at risk for a huge pay-per-view main event.
“It was awesome. It was a great spectacle, and I think we’re all lucky that the bomb going off, in the end, didn’t really hurt anybody there.” Tony then stated how the circumstances, in the end, were all planned by Kenny. His competitor Jon, though, blasted him for not bringing his best. And yet, Tony felt that Kenny had delivered.
He added: “Kenny’s master plan, he built a dud. Who would have thought when he drew up the big plan with crayons that the bomb failed to take out both guys out. The battle really delivered excellent action. Both guys came out okay, which is great because, on paper, it looked like the kind of match where somebody could get hurt.”
Nevertheless, fans felt that the showdown did not live up to the fight. Given that the pre-match build-up promised so much blood and war, fans thought that the bout did not deliver. There was some credence to that statement given that neither fighter sustained any significant injuries, not that fans wanted that, but rather it was perhaps an expectation.
There was only so much that was possible, though, as Tony outlined: “The plans we saw in crayon, and all through the match, we saw it. It looked very cool, and it’s a very deadly, painful match, but at the end, I mean, I don’t know what people really wanted, unless you actually wanted us to explode the guys at the end, there’s only so much you can do.”
Despite the reaction, the viewing figures were impressive and marked a success for AEW. Let us know what you think in the comment section down below. Please also remember to stay up to date with the latest news on TheOvertimer. Don’t forget to visit Gamestingr for great videos, news, and gameplay!
