I get it if they don't want it used on someone, fine. I'm not bothered by the lack of the match being turned into a juicefest one bit. So that isn't my gripe at all.
But as executed, literally any old weapon would have sufficed as reason for Cole to run (and be in position for the plummet). Cole taking flight is sufficient catalyst for Gargano to chase (so that gets them up there). But as set up, the decision / determination of Gargano to use the barbed wire
should have been what cost him.
THAT tells a story, one that should probably BE the story (Johnny Wrestling loses his head & loses the war because of it). Instead, we get an abrupt dive off the makeshift scaffold that neutered the presence of the barbed wire entirely.
I felt like creative/booking cheated both guys horribly, with a finish that simply didn't make any sense. And I felt cheated by a finish that should have been better after a helluva match.
