Who REALLY Pitched Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch In AEW

AEW Revolution will include an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch. This will be a very unique presentation for American pro wrestling fans who might have never seen a match like it in the past. They are violent, and Jon Moxley has already warned parents to send their kids to bed early.

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Tony Khan revealed that it was actually Kenny Omega who pitched this ultra violent match. This happened about a year ago when he also pitched bringing in Don Callis, something that has also come to fruition.

“It was Kenny’s idea and it was Kenny’s idea a really long time ago. He had brought up Don coming in and the exploding barbed wire deathmatch a long time ago. We just had those in our back pocket for a long time and when it came time to do them, we were ready to execute.”

“So I slotted that in as the main event at Revolution because I didn’t think there was any bigger match in wrestling than that.”
