      Same. My fiancé was with me and she doesn’t watch wrestling (she got me tickets as a birthday present). But by the end of the whole show the thing she took out of all of it was how incredible that match was and how impressed she was with FTR (BCG as well, but FTR is just so damn good that they stood out more to her).
      I honestly couldn’t believe we got a major PPV main event caliber match like that. I know they’re all so good but they REALLY went for it.

      Tag Team matches and Lucha Libre Trios are entirely separate traditions you dimwits! The problem isn't racism or such BS, it's what happens when you blend the two into the chaotic mush that fills the modern indie tag team wrestling and plagued the first years of AEW to the point even Jericho noticed it.
      Rules and traditions are there to create a structure and the image of a legitimate athletic contest. I'm not as fanatical about kayfabe as Jim (I don't think anyone is) but I want to believe in what I'm watching.

      Agreed, this is what we need more of in Pro Wrestling. But ofcourse the EVPs have convinced TKhan to keep FTR/Punk and the others who aren’t part of the EVP click on Saturday rather letting them have Weds. Collision will never outdraw Dynamite just based off the time slot, difference Is if the booking were switched, the Punk/FTR product would have much higher ratings on Dynamite and the Play Friends product on Sat would be even worse than Collision’s current ratings

Lots of people believed that he was the one booking himself into those bad storylines, therefore he was getting booed for that… and then as the rumor about him leaving for WWE started to become popular, they really began to dislike him.

      everyone on the card did some version of a bret hart move. it's not like they were the only ones. personally I think watching bret wrestle was like watching paint dry unless he was working with someone who had any amount of charisma and could make the match less boring. that's why WWF let bret go. they seen his style was to old school and knew he wasnt going to be a guy who could draw in the futurewith where the companywas trying to go.
      as soon as he left WWF they took off to heights they'd never saw before. I think that's why bret is still so so bitter. I think he knows he screwed up by letting his ego get in his way and jumping to wcw where he was a fraction of what he was. he looked miserable on tv everytime they showed him. he looked heart broken every time he was on screen.

    Collision feels like WWE when Triple H took over, people were mocking him for not immediately turning the ratings around but they continued with the good angles and PPVs building the judgement day, gunther, the bloodline and seth rollins characters and now we're starting to see increase in ratings because of the groundwork that was laid last year.
    If Collision continues in the current direction with good matches, building characters in Jay White and Juice who was basically useless on Dynamite, showing what FTR can do, having Ricky Stark actually do something interesting later in the year we may start seeing the results of the groundwork that's being laid here.
    I look forward to it

    I noticed something: Jay White is being pushed as the star, BUT in their tag team matches-- in the falls that Jay and Juice win, it is due to something that JUICE did. In their losses, Juice has to lose the fall. ( although I am judging this based on 4 falls )
    Jay White = main event.
    Juice Robinson = solid mid-carder ( He should always be in the mix for the TNT or International Titles. )

  • @keithyw
    @keithyw Рік тому +1

    while i initially had seen the result prior to watching this match (not the blow-by-blow aspect), I was completely glued to my screen at a certain point. having seen a variety of 2/3 falls, i kept wondering what would happen because the initial fall went long. when BCG hit their finisher, i was like wow. things just got real. But I knew that the first fall would determine the rest of the match. unless they wanted to do something completely off the railing, FTR had to beat BCG in the 2nd fall. but there were some crazy moments where you had doubts like the Powerplex/Splash where Cash came up short and Juice hit the top rope splash. Top rope splashes feel banal but it got a huge reaction because the match was deep and this was the second time Cash made a mistake.
    the third fall's start wasn't great imo. the outside brawling i got because things started to intensify but i didn't care for the long segment with the railing. you couldn't really see what happened that would take out both men. did they hit their heads? it didn't look hard even though the crowd sighed. but they stayed down for a while. it got a little awkward where the referee started to lose control of the match right around then. the ref didn't do a great job around then in not counting both teams out so i think that distracted. both teams selling fatigue was great towards the end, even though i hate the trope of "this is the final minutes, let's regroup and have a hockey fight." in this case, the crowd got into it knowing that things were about to get crazy.
    jim/brian missed Jay's Shawn Michael's tribute to piss off the Stampede/Hart crowd with the telegraphed footstomp but then went for the sharpshooter. That was unexpected and actually great and managed to get the crowd reaction they wanted. Dax pulling down his kneepad to get more depth in the sharpshooter was cool. haven't seen that ever. the Hart tribute with that move was great and FTR had been doing tons of Hart Foundation tributes the whole night (the earlier headlock takedown sequences which you barely see these days, the Davey Boy overhead press slam, Bret's signature turnbuckle bumps). I really had hoped that FTR could've gotten in a Hart-Attack bearhug -> running clothesline double team move.
    Jay was great here. He's a very subtle heel but was able to portray a broader range. Just small things like stealing the hat at the beginning, motioning towards the crowd how Cash (Dax?) got blinded, the HBK tribute. I'm going to say this because I just started noticing something: Juice reminds me of Macho Man Randy Savage. His selling isn't outrageous and he reacts really well. Maybe his wildman appearance, his crazy antics, the elbow, his way of reacting/selling as a heel, all these things remind me a bit of Savage. Both guys are really impressing me on this show and i never really had seen them up until AEW. Without a doubt this was an eye opener for someone like me where it was a career defining performance for them. Bravo.
    Here on out, I don't know what these guys should do. On the one hand, you want to see more but again where do you go from here? Cage match? 1 hour Iron Man? In that scenario, it almost feels like BCG should win that round. You know this isn't over. On the other hand, because they went nearly 1 hour, and this was a title match, do you give another match to BCG or keep them in the background waiting to be elevated back into the #1 contender spot so that they can recover and get more wins along with FTR so that there's a line back to a finale where BCG can capture the titles? My only fear in that scenario is that Tony Khan can easily derail the situation with bad booking and cool off what they have going because both teams are performing at 100% and have near perfect chemistry right now. This is where The Briscoes would've made for a good 3rd team in the mix just because it would give both teams another set of great opponents. I don't think the Gunn Club should be in that mix outside of just having matches with both teams (but not winning titles). Like do you bring in the Acclaim so that BCG have a distraction, help teach the kids but stay near the top? I think in that scenario, the matches have to be shorter because they won't be at this level just yet. I don't think another tournament would make sense because they're already having that stupid one with Cole/MJF on the other program (but I wouldn't mind BCG vs Cole/MJF or even against FTR but I don't know how they'll handle Cole/MJF comedy hour on Collision unless it's another Roderick Strong gets injured type of angle to put Cole into a serious mood)

    My only complaint with this match is the finish of the last fall. It was a fine explanation with the knee pad thing, and I also get that they are protecting Jay because they obviously have bigger plans for him after this, but they really should have tapped together with the double sharpshooter. The crowd was going ballistic, they didn't need to go back up and down the roller-coaster ride at that point. The double tap out would have been an excellent finish that I don't even think makes either guy look weak. Both Juice and Jay have picked up a fall against FTR, so the overall record is 2-2, they can still do one more match. Overall though, I mean come on, what else can you say. Fantastic match boys
