The King Of Swing Posted August 17, 2025 Posted August 17, 2025 If it's not Grado, I'm holding @Supremo responsible. Another fun Collision. Main event went longer than it needed to, imo. But I still enjoyed it. Garcia is finally turning heel at FD, isn't he? Opening tag a was belter and I even enjoyed Paragon's match. Woman's four way was fine. Though it felt like an excuse to get as many of the women on screen as possible. Stop giving Athena a microphone. She's rubbish. Match should be excellent, though. Toni was bang on about the nicknames. "The American Joshi" in particular is awful. Isn't Joshi, just Japanese for woman/girl?. Quote

Her character is all over the place. She's the "fallen goddess" but acts like a bratty and annoying teenager. I've got no idea what her act/character is supposed to be other than "tiresome dickhead". She shoe horns far too much into her promos so none of it lands. I don't watch ROH so have no understanding of her relationship with Billie Starks. Everything about her character and presentation pisses me off, to be honest. Re Kris Statlander: I'm also enjoying this slow burn stuff with her and intrigued to see where it goes. I think she's great. Not sure if she'd be best suited going forwards as a heel or face but I'm confident she will succeed either way. As a side note, I think it's hilarious the running theme that so many of the babyfaces on the womens roster are horny for eachother. Quote

Grado was on the first All In London too on the pre-show but without Madonna, so would be good to see him appear. Hope Justin Roberts announces him properly though! Quote

Think that might have even been a bit of a running gag on here, back then. Though at least she didn't get so much mic time, back then. Quote

Maybe because it was obviously such a silly comedy line from Stokely, that's why it didn't bother me with Copeland mentioning it. I agree with @RedTwoster too, I think generally Copeland in AEW hasn't worked at all but I thought last night was a good segment and a rare time he's fitted in. She was Clearly a Plant. The Camera had her in shot before he even said the whole comment. It was a plant CTFO. Quote

Paid Members RedTwoster Posted August 18, 2025 Paid Members Posted August 18, 2025 My main worry here is that December is a while away - making some form of return feel likely. Quote
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 18, 2025 Author Paid Members Posted August 18, 2025 I can see him going back to WWE for sure. Jericho is probably smart enough to know that his stock with the AEW fanbase is at an all time low right now and it'd take a miracle for people to be interested in him again. And he's also smart enough to know he probably only has one in ring run left in him. If he goes back to WWE he'll get a hero's welcome, will barely have to wrestle, the matches will be less physically demanding and the match quality at WWE is significantly lower and less important so he won't have the pressure of needing to perform in ring at a high level. He'd be mad not to go back, to be fair. Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted August 18, 2025 Paid Members Posted August 18, 2025 If you can still put bets on WWE matches, I’d put the house on Jericho returning at the Royal Rumble. Quote
Paid Members RedTwoster Posted August 18, 2025 Paid Members Posted August 18, 2025 If he does wrestle a few more AEW matches, I really struggle to see what you could do with him that anyone would want to see. He should absolutely go back to WWE, if he intends to continue wrestling; although I can understand why Tony Khan might be hesitant to let that happen. Maybe they could squeeze a title vs AEW career match with Hangman Page out of him, although I’d feel more inclined to pit him against Kyle Fletcher, and give him the honour of being the one to end Jericho’s AEW career.

But I guess it wouldn’t hurt to have more too. If I've missed it in some way, then that's fine and it's on me. ? Quote

Nice throwback to Jericho vs Hangman to be the first AEW champion. I don't think they have had a singles match since have they? You could do that at Worlds End (which nobody watches anyway) and have Jericho ride off into the WWE sunset afterwards ready for the Rumble. Quote

Speaking of contracts and Fletcher. Kyle Fletcher recently signed a new long term big money contract with AEW. Seems like they've got big plans for him going forwards. Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted August 18, 2025 Paid Members Posted August 18, 2025 (edited) Absolute madness to see people suggesting putting the Champion of the fucking World into the Jericho Vortex. The best use of Chris Jericho before he fucks off back to WWE is no use of Chris Jericho before he fucks off back to WWE. Edited August 18, 2025 by Supremo Quote
