During the latest edition of his “Foley Is Pod” on Ad Free Shows podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley commented on AEW’s Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch and why it failed to meet the expectations from the fans.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the match failing to meet expectations: “I’m not sure barbed wire is the best way to take advantage of Kenny’s huge gifts. They had a little trouble with the stipulations.”
On AEW failing to deliver on the stipulation: “You either stay on one side of the road or the other. If you design it to be in the middle, it gets squashed like a grape, even if that’s just emotionally.”
On fans of deathmatch wrestling: “The people that watch it are good people, who like to see consenting adults do weird stuff. I don’t condone it, but I understand it. But I feel like the people that take that step and do it for more than the money are worthy of our admiration, even if it’s not your thing.”
