400 Shows & Runnin: AEW Dynamite & Collision 7/2/2025 - Okada/Ibushi, Moné/Mina, OSwerve/LFI; DG/Kyle, Mistico, FTRunners Collide, PAWGs & Amazons

Okada vs Ibushi main eventing Dynamite 300 on TNT in 2025 is like if Nitro in 1998 had run a main event of Chono vs Hayabusa and the crowd in like the Von Braun Center was super into it. Last two weeks having the real Ibushi back instead of whatever the fukk was the imposter the last time he was in AEW

I wonder if that was the first All-Japanese TV main event by a US company.

shyt it might be. I thought surely some form of Asuka/Iyo/Kairi must have at least main evented an NXT show, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I watch these shows thinking about this shyt, and how amazing it is. How cool this shyt must be for kids?

I remember playing video games and seeing moves i'd never seen before, only vaguely aware of the broader wrestling world. Then all the time you spent dreaming about crossovers and this guy versus that guy - this company is just that in real life.

Okada v Ibushi main evented a TV show in California in front of a sold out audience

Looks like all the matches post-Dynamite will be on Collision. Final card out.

This was a good show. AEWs not at their peak this year but theres been a noticeable improvement over 2023-24 as far as TV show quality and amount of interesting storylines. The All In build and card is good.

Seeing a lot of high praise for Collision that's airing Saturday, especially the FTR vs. Outrunners tag match

2 hours flew by.

Hangman/DR/Opps segment was fire. Texas Death should give them all the room they need for fukkery... I'm expecting a leaf out of the McMahon run-in madness playbook tbh. Marina getting hit with the buckshot upgraded it from good to great

Mercedes and Mina fukking COOKED. Mina tried to kick Mercedes face off her damn face at one point. Toni just sitting there emotionless

4 way was great. AR Fox deserves more than eating the pin every week honestly but he's so good at fleshing out these matches and making everyone look good.

HS/JetSpeed interaction was brutal. They're gonna give us a banger at All In. Low-key I'd pay to see Shelton and Kevin Knight in a high jump contest.

Takeshyta and the Bucks got some chemistry - wonder if that's how they get him out of DCF and back to babyface. Really entertaining trios match.

Ospreay's stip means they're losing, I suspect. Gives storyline reason for Will to stay away from the big belt until All In next year back at Wembley. No second Swerve run for a year sucks though

Oswerve Vs LFI was piff. I fukkin love all these guys. Ospreay and Swerve make such a good team it'd sure be a shame if they were feuding right after All In

They made Okada/Ibushi feel special right from Ibushi's entrance. Low-key I love that TK main evented his #1 TV Show's 300th episode with two NJPW legends beating the everloving piss out of each other for 20 minutes.

Ibushi looked great and I'm starting to think this heel Okada might be my favourite Okada, he's just so fukking entertaining. Just a great match.

Barely thought about the world burning before our eyes once for two hours. Result.

I feel like thats a way to get the evp’s there status taken away storyline wise on tv
