[8/12/23] AEW Collision: House of Black defends Trios titles vs. CMFTR; Acclaimed in action; Statlander/Willow vs. Mercedes Martinez/Diamante; & mor

[Starboy52]

I fully believe the rumor of it being Punk/Bryan/Someone other than Tony in the room for Collision. This show feels NOTHING like Dynamite despite them being the same company

TK such a p*ssy smh

 

[prophecypro]

That was hardly a shoot trash

 

[StatUS]

So yall treating Collision like Smackdown back in the day acting like Vince wasn't in the same booking room cooking up Smackdown and Raw

 

[get my pool]

That just means they’re actually gonna do Punk and ftr vs the elite

 

[dh86]

Punk is feeling really irrelevant on Saturday nights. He’s definitely every single thing he spoke against all those years.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Butterface Bundas went over Team Thick & Stacked.

 

[Tres Leches]

This show was much better than last weeks, was not expecting Hobbs vs miro at all out

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

So who is Starks going to manage? Or is he going to squad up and manage a faction since he’s going to war?

 

[dh86]

Butterface Bundas went over Team Thick & Stacked.

They didn’t even announce Willow as the Owen cup winner or former IWGP champ and lost to one of the lowest ranked women on the roster. I have no idea wtf is going on with that.

That just means they’re actually gonna do Punk and ftr vs the elite

Then why not say it on TV…?

shyt ain’t happening

WrestleTix says final count was 5,420. They were last there for Dynamite on 12/22/2021 and did 5,593 that time.

I saw someone on squared circle reddit comment that Collision is basically 80s NWA/WCW with a bigger budget. They may be right.

TK likes to bring up the Cagematch ratings, and it's clear a good portion of the typical Dynamite audience - the people who want to see PWG on a big budget - doesn't really fukk with Collision.

Collision has only had one show rated 8.0 or above, and the typical show is 7.5 or below with three of them rated in the 6s.

Meanwhile, week to week Dynamite has almost always been rated higher or nearly as high despite Collision roundly being considered the better show.
