AEW Collision August 31st, 2024: Undisputed Kimgdom vs FTR, plus Tomohiro Ishii vs Kyle Fletcher

Might sound sacrilegious, but Mariah may winning the women’s finally after that goat story they’ve been running for almost a year is probably my biggest Mark moment of All In. It really is all about Mariah for me.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

its also such an easy way to make a double header ppv with the winners vs champs

I also like the concept that NWA came up with of all people where the television champion can get a title shot. If he successfully made seven title matches for some thing like that for the continental would also be kind of sexy.

i dont think its that crazy a take. they built Mariah from scratch into a champ with one story - apparently it was planned out before she signed and pitched to her. it was one of aews best executed angles. for sure one of the best stories theves done period

 

[Ricky Smarks]

OK this is more practical queen but also not really that much less revealing. I applaud the effort.

I one hundred percent believe it because I’ve already seen a dozen Easter eggs from the very beginning that foreshadowed exactly how it was going to end. I look forward to when someone does an hour long video on it.

Certainly one sure fire way to ensure you sign someone. Give them a pitch of a lifetime. He’s already made her a superstar of her generation. No one will forget who she is.

She was already the person that if someone asked me like who is maybe my favorite person from stardom from the limited stuff that I had seen of them. I probably would’ve already said Mariah May before she came to AEW but Tony made her go from just a cliff note I might like her if I saw her more to one of my absolute favorites.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Come on Debbie. Show everyone why you’re the real final boss.

gave Storm a hell of a run too in the process of telling the Mariah story. AEW can be pretty good at making stars

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Is this some kind of fetish play to turn women’s asses into seats?

Yeah, I was telling this to blaze too that he should hope that Mariah is the one to end her reign because a goat reign is only as good as the way it ends in my opinion, and that story playing out the way it did and putting over Mariah as the next top superstar made Toni’s reign mean something that no one is going to forget Toni’s reign. Not the way that her character truly became its own and certainly not now because of the others she made in the process.

 

[Comrade Khan]

she was a crazy heel that got over enough with a crazy gimmick on charisma and execution. got to the the point she became cheered. and dropped it shortly after to her young protege making her a star in the process. you very rarely get a reign go off so perfect tbh!

 

[Comrade Khan]

wonder if shida is shoot hurt

 

[Comrade Khan]

she holding her leg a lot

I think it could be argued that it’s the best reign, male, or female in AEW history, because while you could say the hangman rise was just as good his actual reign wasn’t.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

It honestly shows you how deep the women’s division has gotten that Rosa was able to finally come back after being out for so long, and she still hasn’t really been able to get into a groove again.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I love you, Tony, but that was an RKO not a stunner.
