AEW: Collision Megathread

Nah, gotta disagree. You can take the logic sword to Dynamite, but Collision’s booking makes sense. It doesn’t have the same ADHD as most modern wrestling.

I get the FTR complaint, but I’d rather them shutting the fuck up and doing the work in the ring than not. Thought the ending of the match was really clever, especially as I thought we were going to a draw or heel win. Jay White seems to have his fingers in the pie as a heel (he called out Punk last week). The tag titles were just a showcase of how good he and Juice are.

Heel interference isn’t going to happen in the Owen tournament. Ruby had something to prove by making it to the finals and redeeming her loss from last year. The Outcasts shit is horrible, so it makes sense for the wrestling show to move away from it. Ruby might grow away from her stablemates and this could play into that story.

Samoa Joe is a patient motherfucker. He doesn’t need to be on TV this week. He’ll strike when the moment is right.

I liked House of Black beating the jobbers. It’s an establishing win before they drop the belts next week. As I said, I hope they interject the idea that Malakai Black has swing, hence the request against tin cans being granted.

Miro should be on television next week, but it’s not like there is wasted motion on these shows. They’ve been building to what is imminent.

I did have the thought that Lance Archer should have just beat Orange Cassidy. But going with TK’s fetish, this was the best OC has ever looked, and it’s partially because the victory over Archer seemed credible and earned. He gets more out of squeaking a countout than he does knocking someone else out.
