Crowd seemed muted tonight, they woke up the most for Swerve/Lio and Swerve fukking up the town name :mjlol:. The main event as well. Cool to see HOB win, but I kinda want to push them as singles now instead of a tag or trios. Brody is over, and outside of some cool matches in the Continental last year TK hasn't done much with him.

Nice Julia Hart vignette again. Her entrance music is easily one of the best in wrestling.

Mariah/Anna Jay feud solely taking place on Collision is a choice.

Penelope Ford's gear reminds me of Sindel from Mortal Kombat. The back bend into the cutter is a dope sequence.

Surprise to see Strong vs MJF, instead of Cole or a 3 way. Have no interest in that match.

I did enjoy the Mercedes/Statlander segment and how it was shot.

Ricochet vs Dante should be a good one. Plus Leila on there too. Odd to see Briscoe vs Daivari. Wonder if thats a one time or it has a purpose. Both are in factions so it could benefit them to do something together. LFI on Rampage and then again on Collision against Acclaimed so at least they getting some exposure. Hopefully the matches are decent.

I can see your point on that. Def is. I'm thinking thru a different perspective tho. It could be on Dynamite no doubt. Tho having it on Collision to try and help there isn't too bad of an idea. Looking thru the list that I can think of:

DR vs OC and Conglomeration
Swerve vs Hurt Business
Hangman vs White
Mercedes and Kamille vs Stat
Ospreay vs Fletcher and DCF
Adam Cole and UK vs MJF
Tag team qualifiers

Might even be missing stuff, like Patriarchy and Hook. In other words they got so many storylines going on right now that they def need some stuff to help out on Collision to not overfill Dynamite too much. Things could always change and we get more Mariah stuff on Dynamite but spreading stuff thru out the shows works best. They need a purpose to draw viewers. I'd even go as far as saying they need a story for Rampage or the new show when it comes out. They have had segments on Rampage that lead to stuff on the other shows tho, but give that show a small feud to make it more interesting.

Look at WWE. When The Bloodline with Roman, Usos, and Sami were dominating on SD they had Judgement Day stuff on Raw to help carry that show. Gotta have storylines going on separate shows to make them better.

roster is so stacked it feels like Khan rushes through segments to get as many people on TV as possible but it makes the product hard to keep up with maybe start a real brand split that can compete with each other or just let some people go ? :jbhmm:

a brand split would be a good idea. I'd even go as far as to say that rampage should have its own roster albeit a smaller one to test that out and give people some reps. not sure how much of the roster could be let go. as far as needing jobbers and whatnot. like looking at a few feuds such as swerve vs lashley, white vs hangman, mjf vs cole, for example. all 3 of them are big marquee feuds with top stars. and they not even involving any championships. i mean they got the roster to have big feuds like that but question is do they get rid of all the lesser featured or lower on the card talent and focus strictly on the big names?

One thing I think they should do is go thru the ROH roster and see who isn't needed and if anybody is doing both, stick them on one brand. ROH roster is much smaller with plenty of overlap. Here are some good examples. Brian Cage is the tv champ and is part of DCF. No reason why they can't have someone else get that title and stick to only ROH while Cage is just doing AEW stuff. Same with Lee Moriarty and his title, plus I see Shane Taylor in ROH as well. Have them both strictly on AEW with the infantry and build up that group. Leave ROH for the ones that aren't being used consistently in AEW. Or in a major storyline.

But having all the shows be different to give everyone some direction would def help
