A Battle of the Breast with a touch of Beast & Bayne: AEW Collision 2/1/2025 - Megan Bayne debut, Harley/Taya, MidSouth Street Fight, DG/KOR/Moriarty

You don't like ladder matches?
No tables matches?
No steel cage escapes?

Don’t table matches finish with a pinfall?

Ladder matches can be good spot fests, and that’s about it these days. The finishes are frequently lame and anti-climactic.

Steel cage escapes … I’d rather just see people fighting than running away.

Max Caster’s new music is a rare miss from Mikey Rukus.

On the other hand, it’s not really something he can rap too, so maybe not a miss?

TK should just throw Joe back in the main event scene and have him dethrone Mox.

Edit: Mox/Edge at Revolution. fukk, I didn’t wanna see that shyt live. Fuxk you, TK.

Show was okay.

Swerve/Rico segment was great. Rico promo game improving.

Toni’s promo was good and the way it was done was too. The 360 was nice.

Good to see RUSH and Bandido back. talented cats that I hope continue to get tv time and can get the fans behind them. RUSH had some cheers, that was interesting to see in the South. He gotta stop treating Beast like the red headed stepchild tho.

Pretty Solid 3 way for the TNT belt. I guess they’re setting up the eventual Cole/DG match. Dear god, please not at Revolution.

Good to see more angles pushed including Harley/Mone and Okada/Buddy. TK needs to keep it going and actually put more emphasis on Collision being a legit number 2 show.

I was thinking about that whole dynamic while watching the tag match. Now the potential heavyweight title scene is pretty big at the moment. Easily 5 & possibly even 10 guys that could be champ, & that's not saying that Mox isn't a top guy himself or hasn't been up there even when he hasn't had the title just based on his history.

Now when I think of Joe, I don't know if he falls in the top 5 currently, maybe edges into the top 10 or gets there soon. But not sure if going his route is the best possible choice versus other choices.

I will say that I think it's great what him and Christian are currently doing as in being the veterans helping the younger guys in Hook and Nick and Kip. Way more than what Jericho is doing.

Could Joe be world champ again someday? Yeah he could. But he's a great team player that could be utilized anywhere on the field that even without being the quarterback he'd still help the team out tremendously.

Joe is already an established name that he can come out at any moment and be thrown into the title picture. He’s already built up by name alone. Can easily have Mox bump heads with him backstage in a segment too.

He’s one of the few wrestlers that doesn’t need to “earn” a shot by winning a contender’s match. He can easily be tossed into any title scene.

Collision only needed a bit of love and it's a fun two hours that pretty much zips by again. Hope they keep this up.

Harley could run an entire cabaret show and be the only performer. She's fukking amazing and they should give her the Mercedes match even if it's a squash

Aminata Vs Toni for Dynamite

Good to see Rush and his gear is looking great. They need to do some Lucha Undergroundish vignettes for LFI and give them an actual angle so someone cares. They should be a home run but it's never got any sort of traction.

Don't entirely get the problem with watching Mox and Edge get medieval on each other for 20 minutes... Cope isn't getting the belt and it's not changing hands until All In anyway, it's not that deep.

 

[MenacingMonk]

it's not changing hands until All In anyway, it's not that deep.

Dont put this into the world. Even if theres more than enough going on outside the title picture, I can’t stand another several months of this bullshyt.

yeah def agree with that. but its not something that is desperately needed when they could go with other methods. its not like he's not doing anything at all anyways. its good that he world title qualified if need be but let him help on what he doing for now and finish that first. he'll get his name called if need be for sure.

I don't really get why it's got everyone so worked up honestly, but I don't think they're going to pivot on it either. I think this has always been build for All In.

Darby's the hero of this story and he's not going to be back for another month at least so it's all sidequests until then.

As long as it keeps coming with a side of Marina mean-mugging and bumping with the men I'm good with it.

The continuous beatdowns are overused, Mox rambling on like a senile old man, trios belts not even defended; it’s the same shyt every week with these guys.

I doubt Darby comes back soon. Climbing a mountain isn’t something that can be conquered in a short amount of time. Training takes time, especially if it’s for Mt Everest. He might even die on Everest, so what purpose does it serve to go on with it? AEW fans have shown they will stop watching; continuing on with a group that the majority of the IWC dislikes for months will do no good.

Edge/Mox isn’t a main event that should be done for the first show at Staples. It should have been Darby/Mox in a crazy ass deathmatch. If Darby was still here the feud with the Death Riders would have actually been something worth a damn.
