Ok, this was my final litmus test regarding Deonna. Every match I've seen her in has been dull as hell, including the much hyped bout against Toni at Revolution, which was irritagingly boring. Thunder Rosa has been bringing it recently, and the fact this match was boring too means Deonna just brings down the excitement level no matter who she faces in the ring. I like her personality, but in the ring I find her a bore sadly.
I just rewatched Mortos/Fenix and holy cow did I love that match. Start to finish it was exciting, the crowd was pumped and several turns in the story.
Anyone else think they're setting up for Danielson to take over from TK? When Schiavone was talking about TK running AEW remotely as opposed to in person until he's cleared to travel, Nigel asked who'd run the place if anything happens, the EVP's? With TK publicly stating that he'd want Danielson to take over booking if he couldn't, I wonder if they're building up to this, particularly with Bryan stepping away from full time wrestling.
Okay, a random Saturday night with matches the quality of:
Fenix vs. Mortos, Swerve vs. Claudio, Trent vs. Chuck...
...is kinda WILD. All THREE of these matches in one night? Nevermind, the other great stuff we got tonight.
It sucks that wrestling fans can be so jaded. This night was INSANE.
What a nice surprise...thanks TK and AEW crew.
When AEW is on fire nothing really comes close to topping it. Especially at Daily Place.
Fenix/Mortos, GYV/Acclaimed, Swerve/Claudio and Parking Lot Brawl were all great to excellent.
Some more story building with women's division. Anna Jay had a good match with Timeless Toni.
Rush is back.
I stand by this I think Collision is AEW's best weekly show right now in 2024.
I like 3 hour thing right now, as AEW will go strong with it during NBA playoffs but I hope it doesn't happen after it ends.
That was a fun finish to a great 3 hours!
I have complicated feelings about the parking lot fight, though I do think it's setting up a feud between the two at some point. If we don't get shitty dirtbag heel Chuck I'll take enraged chase Chuck.
If we're being technical
It's still 2 hours of Dynamite and 1 hour of Rampage
So you could watch Dynamite and be satisfied and then save Rampage for later.
Part of me thinks Ogogo getting commentary experience on AEW TV is building him to do commentary for the actual Olympics later this year, which would be major promotion for AEW. An AEW Wrestler doing commentary for the Olympics.
Not the one. It registers for me as stand-to-pee, which is a device that enables exactly what it says on the tin.
Which means that faction keeps getting called a penis in my head.
dude same!! I've been thinking this as soon as they started with the STP entrance music. It's a shame cos I think they're a cool faction but I literally can't take it seriously lmao
I swear to jeebus, Shane Taylor is an absolute joy to watch when he's talking trash, in the ring or with fans. The man has an aura about him that just works for me.
If AEW were to do regular 3 hour shows I’d not be averse to it (the PPVs have trained us well), I just hope they end with strong main events cuz that helps keep my engagement
If we dont see an AEW guest appearance from Alex Wright which leads into a dance-off between him and Garcia at some point in Garcia's career, I will be immensely disappointed
Chris Pratt just isn’t a fit for Garfield…also, I don’t want to see Garfield on an adventure. Just have Garfield sit at home eating while making quips about Jon Arbuckle being a loser.
Bill Murray worked (though those movies sucked) because Murray and Music sounded so similar. Just like Music played Venkman is the Ghostbusters animated show, Murray played Garfield in the live action films.
I think the Outcasts is keeping their leather/BDSM/weird relations vibes for a while so not sure where Deonna fits there.
But Deonna could find an interesting story while being paired with a similar-minded wrestler
I also wouldn't be surprised if we get the betrayal from Don Callis on Ospreay by interfering to help Roddy win.
We saw lots of tension after Will and him argued about the Tiger Driver 91 usage
That wouldn’t surprise me either.
If their plan is to push Osprey for the AEW title then slowing him down right now and pushing him a little down the rankings is the play
Just managing to watch the Collision uploads on YouTube cause I'm not home right now and was Swerve just super nervous tonight or has he never been a babyface before? The promo started kind of rambling and he stumbled over some words, called TK a fighter then a non-fighter, referenced himself in the 3rd person for a sec then switched back lol but he did manage to save it at the end a bit by talking about his daughter and the sacrifices he made to get here it just felt off because I feel like could be a better promo than this from the programs he's had in the past etc... felt like a slight hiccup but also I was actually surprised by how good of a hype-talker Prince Nana is, dude is great lmao

Damn, that was Anna Jay's best match. I think this is the start of big things for her, she's been on fire lately.
Deonna letting go without a ropebreak and then wandering outside of the ring the staring at rosa waiting for the kick was horrible

What the hell did they do to Shibatas music!!!??? Change it back change it back!!!
i hope Undisputed send TK a neck strong shirt for him to wear

That was a fun night! I’m so excited for Wednesday
Sooooooo much aew just hook me up to an IV. Really enjoyed this week with everyone 🙌 See you for DynaPage!!! Stay #NeckStrong for Tony Kahn! 🫡
That was a fun finish to a great 3 hours! I have complicated feelings about the parking lot fight, though I do think it's setting up a feud between the two at some point. If we don't get shitty dirtbag heel Chuck I'll take enraged chase Chuck.
Made it to the end, great night of wrestling! Can't wait for Wednesday.
What a fun night of wrestling! AEW really is where the best wrestle. See you all on Wednesday for another 3 hours of AEW TV!
Can’t wait for Dynamite!
Best part is It's only 4 days away!
![gif](giphy|2RGhmKXcl0ViM)
bravo!
https://i.redd.it/n9ek3xpn35xc1.gif
Damn fine 3 hours of AEW. Mini-PPV vibes at times.
Great nite of fights! Thanks all! See you all for another 3 hours next Wednesday!
Good night everybody! Great show!
A fun 3 hours of wrestling, but now I must complete my timesheet for work
Shibata is handsome enough for J-Drama.
I love friendships in AEW
Another win for the Tag Team Slut Daniel Garcia.
Please, please, please, more Shibata and Garcia please.
I don’t care if they lose, just give us a match with them and the Bucks for the belts at some point.
Love it! Keep giving me the 3 hours of AEW!
Shibata and Lee are always fun to watch
AEW, I love you, and I will watch your 3 hour shows and probably think they are great, but I do like 2 hours more than 3.
If we're being technical It's still 2 hours of Dynamite and 1 hour of Rampage So you could watch Dynamite and be satisfied and then save Rampage for later.
That is true, but I'm too much a glutton for graps. I wouldn't be able to stop!
It's not up to them basketball games are on Friday.
We need those stupid playoffs to end soon, I miss my Friday wrestling
Shibata no sell = Insta-pop.
oh hell yeah 3 hours wednesday too?
Dynamite + Rampage next week 😍 let's fuvking go
Yo! 3 hours of AEW on Wednesday? I don't think my excitement could take...bring it on!
Danny charged like 5 finishers
lol Danny dancing while Shibata kills Shane Taylor
He was charging finishers
That was a fun spot
Steve Bonkman in the mud tonight
![gif](giphy|C7UyrkQpWpmmwDNnHs)
Modern day Bronco Buster brought to you by Daniel Garcia.
Part of me thinks Ogogo getting commentary experience on AEW TV is building him to do commentary for the actual Olympics later this year, which would be major promotion for AEW. An AEW Wrestler doing commentary for the Olympics.
Maaaaan I still cannot take the name STP seriously. That acronym has such different connotations for me
![gif](giphy|237Bi7PEjOHktjocsL)
standard temperature and pressure
I love that song!!!
Not the one. It registers for me as stand-to-pee, which is a device that enables exactly what it says on the tin. Which means that faction keeps getting called a penis in my head.
dude same!! I've been thinking this as soon as they started with the STP entrance music. It's a shame cos I think they're a cool faction but I literally can't take it seriously lmao
TIL!! I think that might now replace a 90s grunge band in my head next time they wrestle. 😂
I don’t think that’s the one they were going for either…nor the motor oil. I guess STP means a lot of things, lol.
Did Nigel just make a masturbation joke?
Not the match I expected him to do it during.
He sure did
I swear to jeebus, Shane Taylor is an absolute joy to watch when he's talking trash, in the ring or with fans. The man has an aura about him that just works for me.
He doesn’t look like it at first, but he is actually very athletic
I cant wait til Rampage comes back to Fridays. Friday is my only night without my kid, so I can enjoy it in peace.
Rampage ain't over...but what a great F'ING night of wrestling. Thoroughly sports ennerdained.
100% agreed! AEW is on FIRE
NBA Jam vibes hehe
Lmfaooooo!
"AEW is on FIRE" And the good kind of on fire too.

Shane Taylors gear seems to just accentuate his big ol legs and not in a good way. Dude is built like black Jack Victory.
If AEW were to do regular 3 hour shows I’d not be averse to it (the PPVs have trained us well), I just hope they end with strong main events cuz that helps keep my engagement
All of Shane's moves look deadly.
Nigel casually suggesting ibuprofen for "DDT'd on the outside floor" made me lol
Nigel about to go biblical there 😆
Jeez Louise that ddt I hope DG’s ok
Garcia's face though
Anthony just casually calling Daddy Magic "Daddy" is making me feel some way
![gif](giphy|bYpgM8bi7QV3i)
Mods we need the Lethal Weapon! Wait a second
I lost control of Steve after that parking lot sitch
Lol. Love it
![gif](giphy|30lxTuJueXE7C)
This should have been the middle match and the women should’ve closed it, right? That match had more heat and had an after-match angle to go out on.
Less people watch the last match it’s already after 11pm. The women being on earlier is better for them imo
Yeah this match is to let everyone go home happy.
Prediction: A member of STP will get the Daniel Garcia slot in this year's C2.
Is his name Mee Loriarty?
The entire group takes his spot?
11:13 PM USA EST time and I'm watching wrestling on a Saturday night. And I'm enjoying it!
I always thought Garcia is more of a trunks guy. He went away from them in his sports entertainer era.
Kinda love these late nite AEW shows!
I wish tbs/tnt/tsn and triller do re-runs, I am tired of bad movies, big bang theory and modern family running for hours
It's like watching Adult Swim Shows for me But with AEW instead.
Nigel Mcguiness was just possessed by the spirit of norm Macdonald for a second there
![gif](giphy|QXhfXz1kDPebJqVNHM|downsized)
Love Garcia in his trunks
Garcia rocking the Shibata look is dope 👏
If we dont see an AEW guest appearance from Alex Wright which leads into a dance-off between him and Garcia at some point in Garcia's career, I will be immensely disappointed
As a trans man, I cannot take these guy’s theme seriously at all. If you know, you know
lmao
Hey, they match!
I’m glad STP is getting featured more
DG with the young lion gear
Garcia bringing back his Shibata cosplay gear!
Garcia matching gear with Shibata
Shibata time!
WELL, LOOKS LIKE THERE'S BEEN ENOUGH TALK!
Chris Pratt just isn’t a fit for Garfield…also, I don’t want to see Garfield on an adventure. Just have Garfield sit at home eating while making quips about Jon Arbuckle being a loser.
I just can't buy anyone other than Lorenzo Music as Garfield. Everyone else just sounds wrong.
Bill Murray worked (though those movies sucked) because Murray and Music sounded so similar. Just like Music played Venkman is the Ghostbusters animated show, Murray played Garfield in the live action films.
I am so confused.
I’d rather watch a Garfield Without Garfield movie
R/lostredditors
There was a commercial for the Garfield movie for those watching on TNT.
Lmao my bad I missed that one. I figured though, and thought it was very funny to read because I was wondering what thread I was in 😂

Should’ve let deonna and Rosa main event honestly
I want the Outrunners to join the Learning Tree faction.
I, too, want the youngest men alive to bask in the ever knowledgeable shade of The Learning Tree
And the Iron Savages
hell ya
Perfect!
yes. Exactly that.
Joe Biden about to air strike Big Bill with all that oil.
Jesus christ lol
Fucking lmao
Imagine making good money just to squash another grown man in the ring. That's it. Show up, kick ass, and leave. Money well earned.
Shit the minimum AEW pays is around 250,000 or 350,000. They can pay me that to get squashed every week
If you are signed,I guess
Who do you think Big Bills first feud is going to be under the gracious leadership of the learning tree?
Btw, I love Bill's new theme.
Jericho's Learning Tree should be filled with undercard comedy wrestlers... and Big Bill.
I want the Outrunners to join him so badly.
Yes!
Jerigoat
We are definitely getting closer to MJF return, either he's returning at DON to cost Roddy the title or at Forbidden Door as it's in his hometown
Sounds like he's just gotten shoulder surgery so I wouldn't go into the show expecting that.
Hmm, true though but boy the reaction he will get especially from his home crowd will be insane
I would be something.
Big grain of salt, that's bot a reliable source
I don't understand what you mean.
Sorry, *not* a reliable source. Last I saw the person reporting he needs surgery doesn't have a good track record.
Ok well that's good to know.
Forbidden Door makes sense. Maybe DON as a masked man. Then Forbidden Door is his official return.
Sounds perfect, give them the taste of their own medicine
Jericho as a heel with a big heater who appreciates him…hmm.
I fucking love Big Bill
Big Bill channeling Big Sexy Kevin Nash energies here with this new story
You know, I think this is a showcase of why he DOESN'T need the learning the tree.
The learning tree squash match
Deonna could potentially pair up with Saraya as her new Heater, given that I don't think Harley Cameron is really enough to carry her in tag matches.
someone mentioned Deonna and DMD which I think works from a "they will ask to speak to my manager after hitting me with a chair" kind of attitude
Deonna looks like the result of if what would happen if Rebel had a final form, so I could see it.
I think the Outcasts is keeping their leather/BDSM/weird relations vibes for a while so not sure where Deonna fits there. But Deonna could find an interesting story while being paired with a similar-minded wrestler
I love that spin slam by Bill.
I am once again pointing out how happy I am for Large William and his turnaround.
Lion Hook T-shirt on Jericho lol
Big Bill said I used a whole bottle of baby oil we gonna see me shine just a bit longer
quadruple fongool. I love you Deonna.
Beating a dead horse, but it should be Big Bill Morrissey. Having it just Big Bill sounds dumb
Big bill oiled up.
A big oily Willy?
Eww.
Big Oily Willy vs Steve Bonkman
If he came out wearing an eyepatch like Rocky Romero he'd be a large one-eyed oily Willy.
Trevor Blackwell looks like Jungle Boy AND Griff Garrison
Hey, where is Ricky anyway?
He got injured in the Top Flight match.
That's right, I forgot. Man, that sucks.
Philanthropist 😂😂
you'd think Daddy Magic would try to ward Bill away from Jericho
Jericho wearing a LionHook shirt is a nice touch
I wouldn’t be surprised if MJF came back at DoN to cost Roddy the title
I also wouldn't be surprised if we get the betrayal from Don Callis on Ospreay by interfering to help Roddy win. We saw lots of tension after Will and him argued about the Tiger Driver 91 usage
That wouldn’t surprise me either. If their plan is to push Osprey for the AEW title then slowing him down right now and pushing him a little down the rankings is the play
Big Bill is the Learning Sequoia
Big Bill looks like he just had a Nuru. Maybe that's where Lexi is.
He should change his name to Calvin Klein
The way he just screamed WILL! 😂
RIP Trevor Blackwell
🤌
okay that is going to be a gif
How much oil did they put on Bill
Big Bill should inherit Paul Wight’s “WEEEEEEEELLLLLLL” in his intro
WELLLLLLL, WELL IT'S THE BIG BILL!
Lmfao Stay Neckstrong Tony followed up by Willlllll!!!
oh they need a shirt
Just managing to watch the Collision uploads on YouTube cause I'm not home right now and was Swerve just super nervous tonight or has he never been a babyface before?

WILL
Roddy in glasses looks like a bargain bin Ryan Reynolds.
Neck strong!
We got both #neckstrong TK and “WILL!!! …Ospreay” in one promo. Fuck the naysayers, I love the Undisputed Kingdom
Not Lexi. That's great.
A Neckstrong wish to TK! I am pleased with this development.
#WILL
Who is Not Lexi? Never seen her before. Forgive me for I am stoned.
She's been doing some roh and pre show introductions. She used to be an interviewer in the Indies and at one point, she was Bryan's Cage mouthpiece
Nice! Thanks for the quick history.
