Have a serious question, and not being a bitch, but I have been thinking about this after Collision. Do you think that Dynamite would be more akin to "sports entertainment" and Collision more akin to "wrestling"? I honestly dont know how to explain it, it is just that I enjoyed Collision more because it felt like a wreslting show more so than Dynamite does

Dynamite feels more like an indie show to me where Collision seemed more like an old school TV show

too early to tell, the sports entertainment portions of Collision were reintroductions of people and a punk promo How they will will those minutes in the future Genuinely don't know . I still felt it wasn't that different though for me, like the Hobbs stuff is stuff that's played on rampage or dynamite.

Fair enough

I really don't have much faith Collision will be consistently booked different though, I don't think Tony will be able to help himself. But the aesthetics/commentary/etc should always manage to be distinct if not.

But it had your classic open with a promo with a guy in the main event formula he very rarely does for Dynamite and had less segments overall, so we'll see if that sticks

I personally don't want that anyways, I don't watch RAW for a reason.

I also don't really distinguish sports entertainment from wrestling outside of memes, it's the same damn thing to me lol just a lot of different forms of wrestling out there and Tony tries to fit all in somehow

Think Collision was just booked different this week because, like Jeff said above, there were what, three big names being reintroduced into the fold. Not only being reintroduced but after a pretty long hiatus. There are going to be plenty of segments and what not cause there are plenty of good talkers on Collison. I think TK just wanted to have the first show be one that gave the die hard AEW fans something they love since they tend to be more "smarky" than not.

Some of the comments are saying "what if Dave's just working here"......so his journalistic integrity is akin to Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones who worked their "news" as characters. :okpal
