matches have been good. not good at comparing shows thru out the year but prolly gonna be a top 5 or 10 one if based on whats gone down. i wont say collision is hit or miss since they have changed a lot especially this year. they do blend in storyline stuff and promos more vs the loaded match cards of the past. there would easily be a few more matches on the card in the past. even some collision episodes this year have been match heavy.
a couple episodes in august had 8 matches, one in september and october had 3 and 4. so big difference from those shows.
had chatgpt pull the data from cagematch, not sure what other sources are available but this a good bar to set. could it arguably go against any of these?
