Excellent show tonight, and it was exactly the show AEW needed. They needed to show that they could shine without Punk, even in Chicago, and they did.

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Absolutely!

Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (2 replies)

That whole TK announcement felt so surreal

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

It did. When he said that he felt his life was in danger and the crew felt like their lives were in danger, that really said it all, I suppose.

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Yeah now it makes you imagine how deranged he must've been

Thedogspaw@midwest.social · 4 pts · 3y (6 replies)

If people really felt there life was in danger good by aew and wwe the only place for punk now is cyn or nwa

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (5 replies)

I hope he tries UFC again.

Thedogspaw@midwest.social · 4 pts · 3y (4 replies)

Lol yeah that's not happening 🀣

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 2 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Maybe Cage Fighting Fury Championship would be willing to feed him a few cans

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

I read "fury" as "furry" and pictured something completely different lol

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 2 pts · 3y

No, that's where CP Munk ended up.

Thedogspaw@midwest.social · 1 pts · 3y

Maybe Furry cage fighting he can dominate

Travon333@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (3 replies)

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ They wild for that thrust spot

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Dirty dancing if I've ever seen it

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

lol well done.

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 3 pts · 3y

I watched EFFY's Big Gay Brunch, and that was still the gayest thing I've seen in wrestling today. You love to see it.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I wish they had the Gunn's on commentary. They crushed it last time.

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Austin especially is very good at ad-libbing

Montagge@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Wow he made Tony feel so unsafe that it broke through how much Tony likes Punk. Absolutely wild. He must have gone bonkers at Tony.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (2 replies)

The fact he said he feared for his life is damning

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

He had to have put hands on Tony, right? At least grabbed him.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y

Definitely. The monitors...face-to-face confrontation...I guess its all true now.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

BD...Mox...Tony's reminding us of all the other cool toys he has in his toy box.

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 2 pts · 3y

Yup. The start of this show has been a statement, and the statement is, "We don't need Punk."

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Mox putting Cassidy over big. You love to see it.

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

That match is going to be so good

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Jay looks like he takes double damage from everything but in return is basically indestructible

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Those jezebels!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Glad DO brought up their past with Cole. But when they went to Lexi I was really hoping it would be for another Toni segment lol

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I love that John immediately referred to him as Budge lol

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

lol yeah. And nightcrawlers too.

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Aaaand they won the crowd back

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

My thoughts exactly. Good call starting the show with his return.

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

You know shit is messed up when Mox is quoting poetry

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Imagine being Dennis Rodman right now...

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I almost hope Joe loses so he can focus on AEW more.

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Mox targeting souls and Max doing what I'm pretty sure was a Punk line in his rap lol

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Sooo Christian has basically been a leech his entire AEW career and admonishes anyone who accomplishes more than him

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I'm pretty stoked for this main event. Guessing Jay takes it.

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Could go either way real easy

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Bryan and Ricky should be s good match

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Fuck yes! Danielson! He's definitely needed right now lol

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Bryan we need you in Chicago to stop a riot

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Adam has alot of crazy exes

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Mark Davis is like two Komander's

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Its wild when you really think about how massive AEWs roster is

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

This crowd is gonna be ugly.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Yeah, it's gonna be wild. And hopefully very entertaining.

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

It'll probably be bumpy. They haven't had a lot of time to adjust sandwiched between two PPVs.

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Lol CM Junk sign

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

The Outcasts did not convince me that Toni will be fine

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

lmao I wanna know who the hell suggested that spot! Garcia or Billy? πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Wow.

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Toni is a great worker. I see why she got the belt back after Hayter

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (2 replies)

For sure. And her new gimmick might be my favourite thing going right now.

Travon333@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I think the Illustrious Toni Storm should drop the dead weight but it looks like she's clinging on to anything she can rn

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

I agree. I'm sure it'll lead to a solo run soon, though...and a psychotic downward spiral lol

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

What is Dennis doing here exactly?

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 2 pts · 3y

Keeping the crowd from rioting after the Punk announcement.

Turns out they needn't have bothered. The crowd has been fine since Danielson came out.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Time for a Hobbs squash.

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Of course Cash would throw up an X for Punk

alexyeahdude@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Spotted that too. What a douche

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

The Bang Bang Gang arriving in style as usual

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Hobbs record is great but it still feels like he loses all of his big matches

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

He's still pretty green so they may not feel he's quite ready for a big push just yet

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

CM Punk trying to hack the feed lol

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

lol Wasn't Max Headroom from Illinois?

EDIT: the "TV hacker" I mean

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Oh shit it was!

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

The promos so far have been great!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Definitely. It's like a massive spot at the top of the card just opened up and everybody's auditioning for it lol

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Are we getting the American Dragon back?

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Father of the year TNT champ Christian Cage is here to conduct business

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Rodman has weed his last woo

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

MATCH CARD:

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Mox is great at these slightly deranged promos. It's wild to think of all the crazy shit he does to try to back it up as well

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

The Acclaimed and Planet Jarrett are perfect rivals for each other

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

If KK is gonna call it the Oscutter. I hope Wayne and Ospreay have a match at some point to earn his respect

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I know they have on the Indies. But yeah I want to see that in AEW ASAP.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Looks like Jay's rabies are kicking in. Great match though!

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Cope harder Chicago

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Be nice to John! He's just a boy!

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

YEEEESSSS My favorite carny Jeff Jarrett has arrived

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Slapnuts nation stand up!

Travon333@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Ricky delivers on his passionate babyface promos when he has something good to work with somehow while challenging a beloved legend he brutally whipped

Travon333@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Did TK notice Brit outshined Kris on Rampage or they let her so she would look better on Collision

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I'd like to think they do a best of 5 rock paper scissors to determine the order they come out

kubj31196@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 3y

This gotta be the most lively Collision thread in this community since establishment lol thanks CM Punk πŸ˜‚
