Chili Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 That bit at the end was lovely stuff. I absolutely love the angle has developed so many options and ways to go. MJF fighting himself because he's conflicted about someone being nice is brilliant. Quote
69MeDon Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Great show. For a sure a win for Colliders this week. I could do without the crowd doing "we want tables" all the fucking time whenever there is a stipulation match. Quote
Infinity Land Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Post-show Pinnacle pizza party. Definitely not thinking about the pretender's X Division title. Quote
Paid Members BomberPat Posted July 30, 2023 Paid Members Posted July 30, 2023 If MJF turns on Cole, it makes Cole look like the most gullible babyface since Surfer Sting. If Cole turns on MJF, it can either make MJF a sympathetic babyface or justify everything he has already been to this point because the one time he allowed himself to have a friend he got hurt. I can see them keeping them together and having Strong & O'Reilly turn on Cole instead. Only problem is that I wish they weren't doing all this slow burn will they/won't they stuff with their World Champion. Quote
Dr. Alan Grant Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Ever since Juice Robinson showed up in AEW, he’s reminded me of someone, especially his eyes. Today I finally realised. The dickhead from early 90s caveman comedy, California Man. Maybe it’s just me. Quote
Winston Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Been completely checked out of AEW for what feels like forever now but Collision has got me back in. Really enjoying the presentation, the action and the storylines now. Firing on all cylinders. Quote
Merzbow Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Juice has had a pretty wild journey to where he is now, a pushed guy during the black and gold days of NXT then leaving and joining New Japan at the bottom to start all over again as a young boy. Quote
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted July 30, 2023 Paid Members Posted July 30, 2023 Gravity is one of the worst jobbers I've seen in ages. Looks shit, stupid gimmick and doesn't do fun bumps. That Miro bit was so bad. He's got nothing going on, Samoa Joe's got nothing going on - just book them to smash eachother to pieces. It's so easy. Happy to see BCG continue to be fun but also have no interest in seeing Action Andretti or Darius Martin doing anything ever. Punk finally did something! This is a good angle with plenty of options. I think his promos have been a bit all over the place since returning, this one was too but definitely felt like a bit of a direction helped. Starks coming out twice was hilarious and inspired. Darby/Suzuki was short and sweet. God bless AEW for being so wacky you can have matches like this on any given week. Quote
Tsurutagun Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 My two takes from the Punk promo was A) I got reminded that Punk was a Letter X Pervert like Elon B) He obviously had a hissy fit sometime this week with the "adult in the room" and "I make my towns" comments Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 I realise I’m probably in the minority and just “don’t get it”, but fuck me Juice Robinson is such an annoying tit. Not in that “he’s well annoying, I hope he gets a kicking in this match” kind of way, the “oh fuck off you annoying Cunt”/Seth Rollins way Quote

Paid Members Statto Posted July 30, 2023 Paid Members Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) Andrade looked so damn good in his new gear - at least once the funny little straps disappeared. The entrance jacket was gorgeous. Glad you've got your mask back mate but now let's never see it again, if you can look that good once you stop doing cosplay of a c-list Batman villain. Edited July 30, 2023 by Statto Gear not year. Quote
The King Of Swing Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Cracking episode of Collision. Honestly I've enjoyed every episode so far, largely due to the pacing. Imo this 'soft roster split' I guess you can call it has done wonders for a number of wrestlers. Not Miro though. Send him packing, his material is dire and he looks like he can hardly be bothered. Ladder match was a great way to open the show though as mentioned, most will have forgotten about it by next week. Gravity. Shit. Joe. Great. Always fun seeing Suzuki turn up. Well I'm man enough to admit I was wrong on BCG, they've been great. Best incarnation of Bullet Club in years. Bang Bang Gang 4 Life. The cardboard cutout of Jay got a genuine laugh out of me. Interested to see where they go with "Real World's Champion" CM Punk. And of course Better Than You Bay Bay. Best storyline in AEW. Quote
AshC Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 First Collision I've watched and I thought it was a strong show. Do they always have those graphics in the bottom left corner promoting upcoming bouts for later/future shows? Felt they ended up being a detriment to what was a good watch - although I can understand trying to hook any channel changers. They seemed to overdo them, for me. But yeah, strong watch. MJF is especially superb. Quote
The King Of Swing Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 One little thing I really like is how the intro is updated every week to feature whoever is on the show along with the obvious regulars. Nice touch. Quote
