Finally caught Collision. Yes. Great show.
I thought Komander vs. Lio on Rampage was one of the best Rampage matches ever. If they had gotten more time, I believe they could have had a match of the year contender. It was a much better match than Komander vs. Fletcher... Which was fantastic!

The JohhnyTV MxM segment had me rolling.

Harley Cameron is awesome. Can't say it enough. She is my new 2nd favorite behind Penelope.

I think my favorite match of the show was actually Roddy vs. Shane Taylor. Even though they botched the finish. I wonder if Roddy gave somebody else a concussion with that knee. I really enjoyed that match for some reason though.

Kind of over Mariah May.

By the way, I am really digging the Donna Purazzo/Taya Valkyrie alliance. Taya is in amazing shape and looks as good as ever in the ring. She is too talented to have been on the sidelines for so long. But my goodness is AEWs women's division crowded.

Tons of talented ladies for the big belt to be on Mariah Meh. She just isn't interesting after the turn.

I agree about the women's roster in AEW. I'm watching the 10 woman tag in NXTs main event and the talk of NXT having the best women's division out there. AEW has to be up there and I also agree with such a stacked division, Mariah May shouldn't be the face of the division.

So Ricochet's mystery partner was a nice suprise tonight.

I had a suspicion when he said that "The family wouldn't be happy about his partner" on Collision. Just wasn't sure if Willie was de-injured yet. But glad to have him back. I feel like he has to be in a title picture immediately.

Dynamite was better than it has been in recent weeks. Some good storyline advancement. But it still felt off. Maybe it was the match order? The flow felt kind of disjointed and some things seemed rushed backstage. Good upward movement for the show overall though. The matches were better. The battle without honor and the main event particularly stand out. The former mainly for the bumps that Jericho took. At his age?! Jeez man. Anybody who says that dude doesn't work hard is insane.

I wish Penelope and Hayter had gotten more time. I was loving that match.

The Cole vs. Malakai match had an odd ending. I understand the "voices in the head" thing with Malakai, but this was just a weird ending. Almost like a goodbye? I don't think his contract runs out until next year. I believe I read where they extended to sometime in 2025 for him. So just weird. Maybe House of Black is going to take a break? I would love to see all 3 of those guys make singles runs. Especially Buddy and Malakai. I believe those are two of the biggest wastes of talent in the company. Those two should be figuring into major storylines more. Even Bordy King. That guy is amazing as wel. But I guess you can say that about a lot of talent AEW has. Maybe a glut of talent at this point when you only have 5 TV hours.

But overall, better show. Trending in the right direction. Just get the match flow right.

Seen conflicting reports on Malakai's contract. Not sure what is going to happen there or what the actual time line is. But yeah, last night felt like a goodbye. Maybe he is having health problems? I'm a big fan of Brodi and think he needs a push. Same for Buddy. If Black is planning on leaving, it would be super easy to replace him with Cope. Which would explain the face turn of late.

Right now I feel like there are to many face groups. Or maybe too many that are natural heels on the wrong side of the fence.

I know. I mean there are so many "good guy" factions... Why don't they just all band together vs. Moxley's crew? But wrestling fans are so weird nowadays. You never know who the crowd is going to get behind any given night. Like the thing with Big Bill a couple months ago in England. There needs to be a distinct difference between good and evil. That's what the business is built on. Everybody wants to work in that gray area between the two now. That needs to start going away.

One guy doing it is fine. But it can't be half the dang roster. AEW needs a roster split.

Now who didn't see that coming? Sammi Zahn reunites with the Original Bloodline.

Just wondering who will be the 5th man?

For both teams.

Seems like Collision has it's groove back. The House was looking good. The tag team contenders tournament is tons of fun. Archer and Cage are a good addition for Callis. The whole show had a flow to it for the 3rd week in a row.

They are treating it as an equal to Dynamite lately. I imagine with the Continental starting up soon that will continue for a bit.

It was a good show!

I am diggin Archer and Cage. Those two needed something.

BCC got their butts whupped after the match!

I would love to see HOB win tag gold!

Of course The Outrunners won! Poor Top Flight. They just can't seem to get over. I see them in the same spot that Private Party was in for a long time.

I think they're going to turn 3/4 of Top Flight heel and let Dante fly solo.

I wish BCC The Deathriders would either defend the Belts or drop them. You want to elevate those titles? Stick them on Hobbs, Ricochet, and Ospreay for a bit.
