AEW Collision Playoff Palooza April 26, 2025 - Top Flight vs CRU

[Comrade Khan]

I feel like they will stick around I'm sure the Maria stuff will blow over if it hasn't already.

Roddy/Kingdom was shocking the best trip involving OGK in awhile I will agree with that. Roddy did his best work then really too

Yeah honestly I could not give much of a shit about Paragon tbh. Kingdom and Strong was actually more fun to me. Also don't love the idea of this current Adam Cole being a singles champion.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I think I just don't like this cole face run and the stories have been very surface level and it's made me apathetic to them as a whole. I'm sure if they give me a story to care about I'll turn around on it. It's just too cookie cutter happy to be here rn.

I do understand it's gonna need some time to rehab him and that title though, as the Garcia run made that title kind of an afterthought

Don’t give me wrong, I would also prefer paragon and Cole to be heels. It’s definitely their bread and butter, but like you were saying, there was no way they were gonna get a decent spot when there are heel stables Tony clearly has eyes for more so the babyface thing was definitely what was in their best interest as far as that goes but yeah, they need to figure out how to be more compelling as babyfaces.

What’s funny is I think Roddy and OGK with their comedic timing probably could’ve worked it better but Cole I think is the main piece suffering as a babyface (and Kyle too) and now that OGK aren’t don’t even there anymore, Roddy doesn’t have anyone to play off.

I don’t have enough context about the importance of the title recently, but I don’t think it’s been a very strong title for a while so I do agree it needs to be rehabbed.

I think Cole should be with bucks, straight up. I think Kyle was great in conglomeration and I think ogk with Roddy was great. These are my current opinions .Kyle is the only guy I really can buy and relate to as a face.

While, I’ve always liked versions of kingdom and undisputed era. The reason why I was such a big fan of them in AEW specifically was because of the chemistry Roddy had with the OGK.

 

[Comrade Khan]

My 10 am pitch : Cole and Okada vs Kenny and Hangman. *Mic drop*

I wouldn’t hate any of this. Especially since they chose not to ever pay off the paragon and elite split from 2022.

Roddy and the kingdom should 100% stay together as a trio. And Cole being in the elite would be a great place for him. Kyle I’m indifferent too, but I would be fine with him in the conglomeration if that meant the rest of my guys got taken care of.

This theme was such a banger too

This theme was such a banger too

My issue is that imo it's Roddy that got a bit jipped. I get his promos are not for everyone but to me he's wrestling circles around Cole and Kyle and he's their senior to boot. In a company like aew Roddy should be featured more because he delivers

I’ve been saying that about Roddy for a minute. Dude is way over due for a proper run. This is why I wanted more of his International reign. Man delivers whatever is asked of him and is also entertaining. In and out of the ring.

 

[Comrade Khan]

At least he got a lengthy run and is with good company with that title. He's a true b title winner n was over as heck while doing it. Can't take that away from him.

 

[Chris]

There were probably 25+ people I'd have predicted break that legendary OC title reign before Roddy, I think it says a lot that they went with him for it

 

[Chris]

Roddy's big issue is it almost seems like he has to reconvince you how good he is every time he appears again, an optimal world would be him being the one guy wrestling twice a week on both shows lol

Sure on a random TV episode.

If he had joined AEW in 2019 he would have been perfect for it but roster is too deep for that and that is no diss to roddy
