I never thought I'd see the day Hangman was getting a title shot and I just didn't care but here we are.

Same, but more because I don't see a single chance of him winning so I see no point in the match taking place. They can do all the interesting build they want, but it's just not happening especially since he's recently coming off a title reign.

I wouldn't have been massively interested in Hangman v. MJF for the title anyway. This and FTR/Bucks for the tag titles feel a little tired. MJF v. Hangman even happened at Revolution in LA last year. 

It also touches on an annoyance with AEW's booking. You know there's too many titles when titles get sidelined. At the moment the Trios and TBS titles feel like afterthoughts when they could be put to better use.

That’s exactly how I feel. We’ve seen the match already recently, and it’s hard to buy into the prospect of him winning. 

I also have serious worries about MJF bringing up the Scurl photo during a promo, which would feel incredibly grubby.

I think at this point he's adding matches just to spite people. 13 matches is just insane. And it's not like AEW ever book short matches. Each one is going minimum 13 minutes.

You'd hope that a couple of those matches could be fun, quick sprints. Toni is capable of a fantastic 10 minute-ish match, and the Trios one would be fantastic fun if it was just 10 mins or so of non-stop. It would be a decent surprise if one of the Stat/Thekla falls happened really quickly or, less likely, the No Time Limit match actually ended up going 5 mins or something.

At least AEW don't spend forever on entrances like WWE. I had a go of Elimination Chamber on Netflix recently, and the entrances for the men's Chamber match genuinely went 20 minutes. I'd rather have too many matches than that.

I have bought Revolution. The main matches don't interest me, it was Bandido vs. Andrade that sold me on spending the money. That could be brilliant.

And have mercy on me, I want to watch the pre-show for the Battle Royal as well.

I don't know if anyone listens to the AEW Unrestricted podcast - it's hosted by Aubrey Edwards and Will Washington. Before every PPV they do a preview episode going through each match. Washington is on the creative team and hearing him tell the stories going into each PPV match is really interesting because you can see the story they have been trying to tell and how good, well thought out and logical it sounds on paper but how it's portrayed on TV often doesn't actually quite reflect what they were going for or tell the story quite as well as they intended. 

Tony Khan used to do it back in the day and it was a fascinating insight into how he views wrestling and his booking philosophy.

Anyways, it's a decent listen and it's got me more hyped for the PPV than the weekly TV has.

“How many matches are you thinking for the pay per view, Big Tone?”

”Yes.”

Reports are they’ve sold out the arena. You’ve complete it, mate. Stop, Tony. Stop!

*I expect another three to five matches added by the end of tonight’s Collision.

They missed a trick not putting Big Boom AJ & QT Turkey Teeth again MxM.

Anyway, I'll watch this because I do enjoy the PPV's. But I hope it has something to pull me into watching a weekly episode in full again. I've been drifting away generally since they gave Joe the belt and now that heel stable pretty much doesn't exist and everyone involved is worse off, not on TV or literally even in the company.
