Ladder match was fun. Love me some ladder matches. I haven't been watching Collision to know the whole story there, though.
Opener was fun. I'm wondering when Nick Wayne will start wearing turtlenecks like his new pop. Copeland wearing the paint was great. I like that Julia Hart got the win. She's been v good so I'm into her actually getting a push. Main event was good. I'm kinda meh on Jay White, but I enjoyed the match overall. |

I probably missed something. But I liked the show on the whole. Another AEW PPV delivers

Yea overall I enjoyed the show. Outside of the announcement and the ending of the swerve/hangman match, I don't have much if anything negative to say about it.

Still can't believe a company that just caught flak for an antisemitic bit would seriously end a Texas death match with a literal lynching lol.

Finished the PPV a bit earlier on, really enjoyed this and actually watched quite a few of the matches rather than skip through most of it. The size of the card was much better than previous ppv’s with a lot less multi man matches and more one on one grudge matches which always makes it feel more important to me.
All the stuff with MJF being replaced by Cole was done quite well, even though it was pretty clear MJF would come back for the match, it was good to add an extra layer of intrigue cause you knew some shenanigans were coming. MJF is just so great right now and he’s made me give a shit about Adam Cole which takes some doing. I’ve also really enjoyed Jay White during this feud, didn’t know or care much about him before but he’s a good shithead heel. The Gunns continue to be great too. Moxley vs Cassidy was good, I really like how theyve been presenting Moxley as something of a final boss in AEW (they might’ve even actually said this on commentary). To keep that aura going I’d have actually liked him to win, but at the same time they’ve built up a good story of Cassidy getting more and more aggressive to get himself to the level of beating Mox. Hope they have Mox win his next feud tho |

Swerve vs Hangman was so so good, thought it was going to end a few times and really surprised Swerve got the win in the end. Could’ve done without Cage getting involved as I think Swerve needs to be on his own now to really break into the main event. Would like both of these in and around the main event scene though.
Ladder match was good, like Screech I’ve not followed any of this story as I’ve not watched any Collision stuff but it was your usual fun multi man ladder match. The tag titles is the one place I don’t mind but dumb multi man matches because they’re always fun What’s the deal with this tournament? I’m a bit sick of Eddie Kingston matches, although I enjoy him as a character. He’s pretty much spoiled that he’ll get to the final though by putting his titles on the line in every match. He’ll either win the lot or lose them in the final. My one request to these idiots booking all of this remains that they need to get rid of all the titles asap. I don’t care about ROH or NJPW belts at all and it just waters down everything else when you’ve got 3-4 world champions running round |

Skipped through the brauds matches although I guess I don’t mind any of the ones involved.
Skipped through Omega/Jericho vs Bucks. I usually enjoy the Bucks matches but I think I might be getting a bit bored of them now? Jericho and Omega becoming a team just feels a bit forced and would much rather Omega was kept on his own around the main event picture rather than tag Skipped through most of the Sting/Edge/Darby vs Christian stuff. The entrances were good though. This is one of those cases where an individual match would’ve felt like a bigger deal than throwing everyone into a big tag match though. But at least it made sense with Christian feuding against all three of them |

I’ve enjoyed the few Will Ospreay matches I’ve seen when he’s shown up in AEW. Seems really good, but assume he’ll be going straight into the main event, which is so bloated. Just hope they don’t try and introduce a second AEW world title.

If you’re going to sign Will Ospreay and have a working agreement with New Japan, why wouldn’t you just book him in a match? This fucking company.

It’s bad enough when WWE opens a show with a “World Title match.” AEW has pre-show matches for World Titles. ROH is not a thing. It’s dead. It’s counterproductive to keep it around and shop it around. How happy are your media partners that you’re trying to compete with yourself?

Claudio is probably getting paid a lot of money, but how’s being underrated in WWE going? Glad he’s not being misused anymore. Buddy Murphy will be back in the WWE as soon as he can, unless Rhea tells him to stay over there and make Tony Khan money so she can hang out with other people.

So MJF chooses Samoa Joe to be his partner in exchange for a title shot…yet Joe doesn’t give a shit whether or not MJF retains the belt? Makes sense. Also, why do an angle where you hurt the leg of MJF only to have a one-legged man replace him? That’s so fucking stupid.
The Gunns are going to be awesome in NXT. |

Jerk that curtain, Edge. It’s embarrassing at this point. Christian needs to get out of AEW as soon as his deal is up. Lol if AEW ends up losing both their World Champion and TNT Champion in a matter of months.

Remember when people said “It’s not like they’re actually pushing Orange Cassidy?” as a defense of his existence? Yeah, about that…
He isn’t very good. Neither is Moxley tho. His AEW run has really exposed him. He’s exactly the sort of guy you want over there, making an ass out of everything, chewing up resources. And Tony Khan have him a creative consultancy position didn’t he? Fucking lol. |

By the way, hasn’t it been exposed that Orange Cassidy turns away viewers? Pushing him again and again is insanity at this point. It was always stupid, but it’s literally insane trying to make this thing work.

At least FTR are getting paid. I bet they’re regretting their decision to not take comparable WWE deals though. They’re actually being ribbed for re-upping.
La Faccion sucks. Malakai Black and Brody King are probably counting down the days on their deals. Ricky Starks will be great in NXT. Does anyone in this match even want to be in this company? And they get told to go out there and have a ladder match? Unbelievable. |

Preston Vance probably does, because he gets paid way too much money to suck. And he gets to stand back and watch a bunch of people who would quit in a heartbeat go out and break their necks.

Looking forward to that young up-and-comer Chris Jericho get a tag team title run with that video game genius Kenny Omega. Nothing wrong at all there.
Has anyone officially given Omega shit for sinking literally millions of dollars into a video game that was DOA because it sucked? Oh hey, also, where are those dumb bitches on here who were all like “nah noid you don’t understand video games.” Hey, look who was right. Again. |

You know what’s hilarious? Is that MJF has slipped “AEW sucks” as a storyline past everyone. It’s actually hilarious. What’s the pay-off? MJF cries about how AEW is his home? How does that make anyone any money? That’s why I’m hoping the whole thing is a shoot and he’s in the Rumble and Tony Khan is like “fuck, who’d have thought that letting him not sign a deal was a BAD idea?”

He'll likely still be Tony Khan's new toy by then, so yeah it'll be main event for him. I like him just fine (I've only seen his AEW work) but yeah, it'll be more crowded.

Who does Ospreay challenge at Wembley? When you think about it, doesn’t really deserve a stadium, does it?

I don’t know why you would rush to buy Wembley tickets knowing you could buy them cheap day of the show/probably get in for free. I think it’s going to be a meme this thing not moving.
