Play episode


Don’t stop me if you’ve heard this one… What do four sparklers and a couple of party poppers equal??? Why an exploding ring, of course!!! You can feel the heat all the way up here!

The Power Hour returns for our first AEW review of 2021, featuring their Revolution PPV. What was promoted as being an EXPLOSIVE night of AEW action, turned into a whimper and a fizzle when things went awry during the closing moments of the Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match main event between AEW Champion Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley.

Twitter’s favorite wrestling parody account, The Eye of Gibson (@theeyeofgibson), returns to join host Ray Russell and share his insight on all the happenings from the PPV.

We discuss all the matches, plus the Khan’s overhyping on their promises and falling flat, The Eye of Gibson’s new favorite team BEAR COUNTRY!, the new influx of former WWE stars, what does PN News Jr. think of Max Caster?, Cody Rhodes hoarding all of the good storylines & gimmicks, Sting’s STUNT DOUBLE!, the misuse of Rusev, Chris Jericho looking rough, are the old guard just collecting paychecks?, Christian Cage as the “HUGE” surprise, Mr. Mark for himself Excalibur, Jim Ross and his “Hot Tea”, and yes, of course, the fizzle that was the “EXPLODING RING”.. and poor Tony Schiavone who sold it to the bitter end (God bless him!). We even discuss the fallout online, and the “excuses” made to try and cover it up rather than take responsibility.
