I'm so happy for Kevin Kelly. He's been so consistent and professional over the years in different companies over the years. He was great in ROH and NJPW. Knowing he is calling a worldwide wrestling show on TV is awesome. He deserves the best!
Hate him or love him this energy hasn’t been found on any AEW programming since he left I think he’s gonna be a legit tweener town to town whatever side the crowd is on he’ll act accordingly and is clearly very capable of doing so I’m here for it, I loved the vibe of the show overall as well can’t wait to see what’s next
He didn’t really leave..he was sidelined for 9 months after tricep surgery, as that’s generally how long it takes to recover. Not really his fault he wasn’t around.
In just one night, AEW finally did the best presentation of their wrestlers for the first time since they started. Collision should stay the way it is forever.
This show was excellent from top to bottom. From the presentation to the talent doing the little things right. Will def make time to watch going forward.
He's like a returning Goldberg from 2016. Everyone was so hyped he came back, including myself. Both of them. But when you grew up watching a Prime Goldberg or a Prime CM Punk, they are not the same when they are looking old. Maybe Punk will prove me wrong, but he should be at a point in his life where he's bringing money in to the company, but also pushing young talent up the ladder like for example a Wardlow.
@@raoprateek619 that would’ve been a great name. If they went for “Fear The Revolt”, should be “FTRPunk” since the Punk culture is all about rebelling against authority
Still the best entrance song CM Punks I was so happy he kept it when he came to AEW 😊 I like Romans entrance too, And I use to hate it lol it grew on me
Massive punk fan, which is why the dude literally can’t fuck this up. Dude basically got an entire show just for him filled with people he wants to work with. You literally cannot mess this up bro.
The thing is the time waits for no one and this should've happened like 10 years ago...his body was never in good shape and that catches up to him...and he looks not that great in the ring anyway nowadays...i'll give him 3 months max till he his body breaks again and what then? What is the excuse then? He needs a softer ring?
@@BigBadWolf_357 my only problem with aew is the storylines most of the show seem like just random matches and they have so much talent but not everybody can shine without doing a brand split
Is was the best AEW has ever looked. 6 guys that all look legit, Punk and Joe speak for themselves, FTR and BCG both look like top tag teams. This is a perfect showcase of what AEW should be for a new audience.
Yes it actually felt like a Major wrestling company, it was shot differently and the production was close to perfect. Big fan of it can’t wait til next Saturday
The closest thing I could compare it to was Ruthless aggression era Smackdown. This felt like a pure wrestling show where Dynamite feels like a show that will progress storylines
So Saturday is for pro wrestling, no gymnastics. Got it. Couldn’t watch dynamite with punk on it. Thank god collision is for wrestling fans. LIKE MUSSOLINIIIII
@@villiannewyork entirely. Foley did the spots to get over the danger of a match and threat of an opponent. RVD did unique moves but would pay for it. He would also sell if he missed.
@@seanthomxx2694 I like the flips also! Cool to watch. But no place in wrestling for it, IF they do not sell, and do nothing for it. All do the same spots… and act like they’re gods. No it’s just WCW cruiserweight wrestlers finishes for a whole match, for 2 hours.
What star power ? he isn't drawing any tickets sales anywhere outside of his hometown. Roman sells tickets and draws viewers on TV but People who loves Punk are only on internet and social media.
@@nikhilkrishnan9 Ok so the crowd chanting cm punk don't like cm punk? Did roman reigns make an impact on wrestling the way cm punk did? Did roman have people chanting his name in WWE years after he was gone? Did roman reigns have the biggest pop in Chicago? No. Like he said you only hate him because he is the truth. He stood up for himself in WWE he didn't need the big push roman had to become a superstar
@@Vector_TheMinionRoman had a different country in Puerto Rico shouting his name when he wasn't there. And how do u want him to have his name chanted in a city of Chicago years after he was gone when he is around 😂😂😂. And yes Roman has had a bigger impact on wrestling than cm punk honestly. All the current biggest babyfaces were created from feuding with him, he is part of the best storyline of this century and is on the longest reign in 40 years. That's a bigger impact than cm punk, it's not even close. Roman stands alone as the biggest star in wrestling today.
They actually sound like a professional commentary team. You don't hear snickering and inane comments from these guys. I think Taz does his best, but Excalibur and Schiavone are the drizzling shits.
Yeah man excalibur is the absolute worst commentator along side Kevin Patrick This comnentary is miles better than Dynamite's commentary they sound like professionals man
I don't understand the reasoning for canceling Punk because someone didn't like what he says, or says. He is a great performer. Egos need to be set aside for business. You can see why the Young Bucks, Page and Kenny Omega would not make it in WWE. WWE is full of egos and will crush anyone who tries to have bigger egos, and refuse to do business. The Young Bucks, Page and Kenny Omega need to suck it up and do what's right for business.
Collision set look top tier
Literally just like the Raw is War set mixed wit Raw HD
@reyrey5474 how can you not compare them? the fucking ropes are red
@@babauranaithe name aew on the top seems like raw
AEW stepped it up with the new stage. Really dope!
I'm so happy for Kevin Kelly. He's been so consistent and professional over the years in different companies over the years. He was great in ROH and NJPW. Knowing he is calling a worldwide wrestling show on TV is awesome. He deserves the best!
He's still doing NJPW, if anything Kevin is a true Forbidden Door signing as he will be the voice of Collision and still the voice of New Japan.
hes gone a long way from having his face covered with a rock t shirt
And also he came long way from the rock calling him nose picking hermi

💯💯💯
CMFTR, I like it. Punk vs. Joe 20 years later I like it
Nigel McGuiness and Kevin Kelly on commentary LOVED it.
Collision was great
WE NEED CMFTR vs The Elite
We need punk vs kenny
It will never happen for now. Kenny just hates punk and doesn't want to work with him that's why they are on different shows.
@@ajboss924 Kenny Has Better Fish To Fry
@@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE Kenny actually said he’s willing. The Bucks, not so much.
Kenny would work with Punk in a heartbeat. Kenny is the "cool" one of the 3 twinks.

Same bro. It felt like good old AEW 2019
@thejarroone404 No it didn't. AEW 2019 was indy trash. Peak AEW was late 2021/early 2022.

It's the pink, isn't it?
Supposed to lol

This show was excellent from top to bottom. From the presentation to the talent doing the little things right. Will def make time to watch going forward.
Punk is the biggest needle-mover AEW has. They need to protect him and push him to the moon. Hate him or love him, he's that guy.
Cmpunk is a Dynasty....lucky to watch him live😢
They did push him to the moon and remember how it turned out? LOL
@jonathancilla3954 I thought FMJ was the needle mover ? 🤔

Jim Ross even on your worst day, your still the best!!
CMFTR? So basically “Chicago Made Fuck The Rest”
Fear The Revolt
🤣
Chicago has highest levels of black crime in the country
@@raoprateek619 that would’ve been a great name. If they went for “Fear The Revolt”, should be “FTRPunk” since the Punk culture is all about rebelling against authority
It's fuck the revival right? And cm stands for chick magnet lol
This was Peak Collision. CM Punk is greatly missed in AEW! Can't wait for Punk Vs Drew at Summerslam!
I will always remember CMFTR in my heart 💛
AEW feels different again
Take me back 😢
I love the Jim Cornette shirt guy getting on the broadcast all night. Great show, love the matches.
Still the best entrance song CM Punks I was so happy he kept it when he came to AEW 😊 I like Romans entrance too, And I use to hate it lol it grew on me
CM Punk and FTR just feels right
great commentary team, they add a lot to the matches, made the guys look great... It was a very good show, production looks better than Dynamite.
Yeah they add some professionalism to the show that’s missing elsewhere.
It really is amazing how a solid commentary team changes everything, it makes it seem like actual sport.
JR is sounding rougher and rougher.
He wasn't 100% after a fall.
He took a nasty fall this morning and still flew in to Chicago and called this show!
@@BirdGang6?
@@Angel-34 he fell and went to the show? There you go.
Father Time comes for us all and he is undefeated.
Cm Punk is the only reason I rewatch AEW now
Massive punk fan, which is why the dude literally can’t fuck this up. Dude basically got an entire show just for him filled with people he wants to work with. You literally cannot mess this up bro.
It wasn't his fault really its not like he handled things perfectly but I can understand why he did what he did
There are so many things in wrestling that couldn't get messed up but did...
@chuckbuskee old and slow, samoa joe moves better than him ffs
The thing is the time waits for no one and this should've happened like 10 years ago...his body was never in good shape and that catches up to him...and he looks not that great in the ring anyway nowadays...i'll give him 3 months max till he his body breaks again and what then?

@Dr1House Dude if you have anything nice to say just don't say nothing at all
I'm honored to say I was there live for this.🎉
So glad Punk is back
The biggest star in their company.
Aew will never be the same.
This felt like the A Show they need to do a brand split keep them totally separate and keep the storylines going no more random matches
Not necessarily, usually the flagship show would have some type of storyline going for the main event
@@BigBadWolf_357 my only problem with aew is the storylines most of the show seem like just random matches and they have so much talent but not everybody can shine without doing a brand split
Well that’s kinda somewhat already the plan. Punk,ftr miro and others will be inclusive while some will be featured on both brands
Say what you want about CM Punk... that entrance gets me hype every time
I LOVE The Hart Foundation tribute with their gear.
He is backkkk for realll❤
The values that Bret Hart and the entire hart family stood for in wrestling live through FTR and Punk.
One of punks favorite wrestlers is Brett. Roddie piper being the first one though
Punk is more like Shawn Michaels than Bret Hart.
@@JubalBedin what way???
@@NoctuaOlivae Massive ego. Talented. Troublemaker in the locker room.
@@JubalBedNope, he's more like Roddy Piper. The Bucks are more like Michaels, but without the talent.
Finally great return

I know it's only first episode, but this felt like AEW taking themselves seriously compared to Dynamite.
Yes it actually felt like a Major wrestling company, it was shot differently and the production was close to perfect. Big fan of it can’t wait til next Saturday
Amazing what happens when you fill your roster with real wrestlers and let people that have made money in the buisness run the buisness....

The smile and the hug.
I cracked up, too 😆
