100% correct. The ending was so bad that it turned a match that was one of the best I've ever seen into something that I cannot take seriously ever again. It's been a long time since I've seen something deserve WMOTYC like this.

I wouldn't say ruined is quite the right word - I feel like I got my 50 bucks worth after all. It's just turned it into more of a comedy PPV at the end.

I'd still love to see someone rock the Kenny Omega shirt from this PPV in the real world - that would make my day.

People can judge a match how they like, if bell to bell is all that matters to you that’s valid and if people take the build and immediate fallout into consideration that’s fine too

First 3 matches speak for themselves. The street fight was probably the most well-done cinematic match I've ever seen and managed to make Sting cool as hell again. The other two matches were just amazing stuff from top to bottom.

Mox vs Omega would have been MOTYC if the ending explosion was insane OR if Omega came out and said he just wanted to see Moxley scared at the end. Even with the dud of an ending, that match was great.

I also REALLY liked Page vs Hardy and this stuck out as a really good match for me. Hardy seemed especially violent and crazy and the Dark Order saved their Cowboy buddy.

Time will tell but I think there’s a big difference between booking a poo poo finish and booking a good finish that doesn’t go as planned due to, let’s say, technical difficulties.

I think it would have been a lot better if Kenny procured the exploding bat without the Good Brothers getting involved. That said, the explosion technical issues don't insta-WMOTY it for me.
