AEW Collision Live Thread - June 17th 2023 - Punk is Back

[Hoss]

Yeah, best match HE'S seen

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I still think my favorite part of the entire show was Kevin/Nigel too, it was so great hearing them back together

It was such a breath of fresh air and they’re great together

 

[Hoss]

Probably watched like 3 non-Charlotte matches all year lol

 

[Kross Rhodes]

This man clearly doesn’t watch wrestling as I seen plenty of matches this year that’s better than Charlotte ones(and yes Charlotte has had good ones also, just saying that I seen some better)

No lie, I think it belongs in the conversation. It was great.

This is probably true and does this match even count?

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I mean, I do like Jarret, but definitely not the thing that popped me the most about last night.

This is kinda what I’m saying. The dynamite card they promoted on collision last night. Doesn’t feel anything like the collision that we saw last night. Now I’m if I’m wrong when the show start looking more and more like each other in a month or so but right now, I definitely feel like they’re attempting to make that you shows different.

My general feel of what I seen, some folks even said it didn’t seem like a TK booked show haha

it’s why I said he ain’t watched a lot of wrestling brotha

Certainly agreed, especially in the presentation, and I think at the very least you can expect Collision to be a little more throwback workratey style but I consider the odds that they'll be as drastically different ad they were this week, to be kinda slim

 

[Hoss]

And I'm fine either way fwiw

Almost like a man can’t have different ideas of good wrestling.

I will say he’s been hiring more and more people to help creative so I assume the shows do have different idea pitchers.

I'd like them to remain different as long as both are still good but I do have the fear that they'll be more of the same and that might hurt just bc the variety might be what gets people to watch 2 more hours

This is why a lot of people I knew when I grew up didn’t watch SmackDown. It was more of the same. This is prior to the brand split.

Different is always the way to keeping viewers. Even viewers that watch Dynamite.

Especially to get people to tune in a saturdays that's always gonna be a tougher ask

Even though I loved the roster and the matches, I probably loved how different the actual visual and audio presentation was and was great. Not just different, but in a good way.

 

[Chris]

The presentation was great and I thought they had better camera work than Dynamite too somehow even though I imagine it's the same crew there
