Also, people would be fools to wish Omega not be on Collision, just like they would be fools to not want Punk on Dynamite. Not that anyone here has said that but still

last thing, I have never been more positive that this is leading to Punk Omega once he is done mopping the floor with BCC

Appearing on What Happened When with Tony Schiavone and Conrad Thompson, Eddie Kingston was asked if he would be on Collision.


Kingston first made the "money sign" before saying, "If you pay up, I'll be there."

Asked who he'd like to beat up, Kingston said, "Whoever Tony (Khan) books me against, I don't care, I don't say no to the promoter. I do my job. Whatever he books me in, I do my fucking job."

I see what you mean, but as far as if it’s a fundamentally different show it’s hard to really say as it we’ve only seen one show, so I really need to see how they do next week’s show to see if the trend continues as booking along can go along way because if the booking philosophies are different in anyway, and considering that we know that they’ve hired a boat load of new writers to split amongst the two shows I have a feeling the booking philosophies on the two shows are gonna be different. And another aspect that goes along way is roster as collision was filled with people we haven’t seen for months. It’s probably a little harder to grasp for people who probably have a larger appreciation for any talent that appears on the show but sometimes they were very specific people you want to see and when those people aren’t on the other show for like four months, five months or even a year and then the other show is actually going to present them consistently that can go along way to making a show feel different.

We’ll see how it goes.

And yeah, definitely not an elite hater by any means. I love Kenny omega, hangman, Cody. And the bucks are OK. I guess it depends on who they’re being booked with and the story.

I would never be upset to see Kenny Omega on Saturday night. But I do think it’ll be just a smart play just at least for a little while to have like a couple of top guys remain on one a couple top guys remain on the other, and then have the champions float between both. Have a few mids that are on one a few mids on the other and then all the lower guys float.

def agree with all that, especially that it is way too early to tell. Also agree that atm it's shiny because of all the people you haven't seen in a while, but we need to see how much and well they will be booked going forward.

One thing that didn't change was the women's booking, it was a follow up on the Dynamite match and still the same Outcasts story. That is going to need to change imo, gonna need more stories than that

That’s been my dream match since day one.

Yeah agree with this also, I want to see crossover but it doesn't need to be in the first few weeks. it should be for logical reasons.

I agree with the women’s presence on collision wasn’t particularly great and so far I think Rosa is the only unique talent that’s going to be on it. I’m a bit torn because I don’t want ROH to lose its own unique roster either but part of me thinks they should bring up like Miranda Alize to collision and people like that.

I hope the only reason they had the Outcast/Blue Willow story on Collision was because Skye Blue is from Chicago. Next Saturday they can do something different and have a story start there

I think for sure that is why, that's a TK trope to a fault
