[6/8/24] AEW Collision: OC/KOR, Yuta/Claudio vs. FTR, Toni Storm/Lady Frost, and more!

[Reality Check]

Live from *checks notes* Council Bluffs, Iowa (I guess going across the river to Omaha was too much?), it's AEW Collision. So far here is the announced card:

Kyle O'Reilly vs. Orange Cassidy


Wheeler Yuta & Claudio Castagnoli vs. FTR


"Timeless" Toni Storm vs. Lady Frost


Dustin Rhodes vs. Johnny TV


Kris Statlander vs. Robyn Renegade

Daniel Garcia vs. Tate Mayfairs

Spoiler

Garcia needs to be put in the TNT Title match instead of chasing after Ospreay

WWE Stooge: Snowman expects the fans to know about random wrestlers. At least share a video package explaining why people should care
Snowman: Ok mark, here you go.
WWE Stooge: "moves goalposts"

Matches look decent on paper. Rest of the show probably gonna have jobbers.

Man Collision was fire last summer when it started. It was the only wrestling show I would look forward to weekly. Now I pretty much just check out the PLEs and might catch a weekly show here or there

We don't do PLEs, it's PPVs on this side.

I found it odd that they advertised Daniel Garcia’s opponent in Tate Mayfairs. He’s not part of New Japan or CML so doesn’t fit in with Forbidden Door season. And he hasn’t done anything notable in an American indie or over in Japan. Typically those types of guys just get relegated to “in action” advertising.

FTR in pants looks weird

FTR in long trunks?
