Listening to Cornette made me think that maybe CM Punk is carrying around a dog collar and not his replica AEW World Title.

I’m not sure just how involved CM Punk is involved in creative, but one thing I like about Collision is the potential for little details to matter. I was thinking just before that CM Punk coming to Roderick Strong’s aid could actually become a MAJOR plot detail for their company:

Roderick Strong is friends with Adam Cole, who is currently doing that weird thing with MJF — the current AEW World Champion. They could be in line for an AEW World Tag Team Title shot. MJF has issues with Punk and history with FTR — the current Tag Team Champs. Punk’s friendship with Strong could place tensions on the “friendship” between MJF and Cole, which could place tensions on the friendship between Punk and FTR. Throw in Cole’s history with The Bullet Club, the potential to mix MJF and Wardlow’s history in with Samoa Joe’s involvement and history with CM Punk and Roderick Strong (and MJF if you throw that picture of MJF in his security detail up on someone’s Twitter).

There’s potential for this all to connect and lead to some pretty amazing storytelling. You could get Dax Harwood vs. Roderick Strong on an edition of Collision and it be more than just a match between those two parties. It could be about Dax’s friendship with CM Punk, Strong’s ties to Adam Cole (and MJF…and their quest to become tag champs) and where allegiances lie.

I keep missing Collision, cards look ok. I have great intentions but I just never quite make it. Its actually a surprisingly good time slot for me being a Sunday but yeah... dunno.

I still keep watching Dynamite in a weirder time slot for me personally. Maybe I'm just a one show a week wrestling fan nowadays. I read HOB is going to be on Collision so that might draw me in as I love all three but overall I want Hangman, Omega, Bucks, Darby, Sting.

Punk vs Joe
Stark vs Hobbs
FTR vs Jay and Juice
Willow vs Athena

Fantastic card on paper.

LOL since when is that idiot claiming Owen Hart was the reason he became a wrestler. I guess 20 years in you can make up whatever story you want to virtue signal.

Anyways, on to the actual reason I wanted to check out the show tonight, Starks vs Hobbs.

yeah the 2 young guns who will get the push tonight.

good let's see what j hart can do in the ring

come on, ricky

Julia Hart in action tonight? Cool

that was a cool win

#RIPQT

So Miro isnt interested in winning titles, just cutting backstage promos, Tiny is such a good booker! Have a good night everybody!

xrod, what are you going on about in that private message wanting to nibble on schiavone's pierced ear lobe?

facing a jobber this should be bad

yeah, save that jobber shit for Rampage

ftr is over

this may end up a draw

wow contender for tag match of the year

pretty dang good

That was fun. Punk versus Ricky gonna be cool

Sweet Tooth gettin the last laugh

I saw the highlights of the main event in typical Noid fashion and I must say that I was thoroughly disappointed and didn’t understand the in-ring storytelling whatsoever. Shit was sloppy as fuck.

spot on, chap

Great show. Collision is now must watch TV.

Two out of three falls next week. Owen Hart finals. Return of Bret Hart. Haven't looked forward to a weekly show in a while.

Oh my.

Collision looked fucking great.

I am legitimately surprised Phil didnt get injured with how stiff Joe works. Tiny Khan might be Snowman, but Phil is Glassman.

Agreed. Punk's promo at the start made me care about the tournament. The short video package made me care mroe about the Punk/ajoe history. Hobbs vs Starks felt high stakes. FtR vs Juice and White was good - on a personal note never understood what a "title eliminator" was (thought it was just AEWs way of saying number on contender), glad the commentators educated me. Punk vs Joe was good as well. Nice close to the show as well.

Looking forward to next week!

All this is nice and makes sense in a "Smackdown Six" kinda way... BUUUUUT the problem is just that: it makes sense.

It doesn't include anything about how this affects the feelings of "the four horsemen" (all lower case letters intentionally). It doesn't feature the huge signees Action Andretti or Kommander. There is nothing worked in about Orange Cassidy.

I've been beaten down from expecting too much from wrestling over the years. And here, I'm not shitting on the Bucks and Co. because it's the popular thing to do. I'm shitting on the Bucks because they have done the same shit for at least over a decade now. It's fine the first few times, but they are beyond "X-Pac heat" levels of the same match ad infinitum. Even worse, because they're in charge, and like when other wrestlers have matches like them. Trapese artists can be fun every once in awhile, but building the entire circus around them gets stale quick.

None of the things Nerf mentioned are set up to "pop the boys", and I personally fear that's the reason why nothing like that is set to happen. I hope I'm wrong, but again, I've had most of the hope beaten out of me.

I get having the hope beaten out of you. I’m going to try and remain open-minded about Collision though.

I've watch 5-whole highlights of the show on YouTube and can't think that anyone with one working brain cell would willingly consume this nonsense. This show really needs Jim Cornette and Mark Magnus. Samoa Joe needs to switch to tights like a real professional wrestler instead of his bermuda shorts.

So you cared whose ass it was and why it was farting and i believe that time can come again!

I watched the Punk highlights, they were great!

The Highlights:

Exactly!

Collision in a couple hours, let's all go buy some human teeth and human teeth accessories.
