If the ring actually did suck otherwise that's a different issue too, these things can get lost when tribalism takes over too lol like there's a million things that can all be true
1. The ring was smaller - yes, but this isn't an issue (to me obviously, assume the rest of this is my opinions only so I don't have to say this)
2. The ring was borrowed - again, not an issue and what they probably should have done in the situation.
3. The ring was dingy and caused Buddy to hurt himself - possible, could have been a freak thing tho. If others come out and say the ring sucked I think AEW should get criticized for not vetting it better and putting their talent on a bad surface. If nothing else comes out tho, there's nothing wrong with 1 and 2 here.
