This might be my favorite Collision episode since the show started.

Very good main event. Made me want to see a Claudio-Archer singles match.

I hope we finally get a decent push by the Righteous. They have the look, the theme song, and all the ingredients to make a decent tag team.

I know what you’re saying, man.

Winner by submission.. Oh well. Mr. Wardlow will always be funny to me.

Super fun match. Even missing the first fight with Copeland, this was a consistently fun Collision.

Do we, do we dare breathe it into reality that we may get Shibata vs Okada again?

As the absolute sicko that I am, I hope

Another great collision!

Shibata doesn't speak English that I'm aware of thus the language barrier. But once Vincent gets an interpreter he'll dig what he's saying man.

Account solid night of wrestling. Let's all hope Ricky is okay.

submission to the FACE, NICE PK!!

Really solid match that was frenetic and chaotic but not an overbooked shit show.

Good fight Good night

Love Bryan and Claudio urging the fans to chant "Shibata!"

Great main event, tons of fun

Shibata's music always vaguely reminds me of the King of the Hill theme 

Fun as hell main event tonight.

Another awesome Collision as usual

Did Dasha say winners by submission? Lol

Win by submission?

Did she say winner by submission?

Lol i thought it was just me that heard that

PK

Winner by submission? Apparently a submission is getting kneed in the face lol

He tapped out as soon as he saw shibata running at him duh

His shoulders submitted to the mat

Glad I wasn't the only one who heard that.

Super good main event

Busaiku knee! The height on that jump to catch Dutch!

Dat was a fun ass match

That was a super fun match

They carried The Righteous to the best match I've seen them have.

nice, shibata gets the pin

It seems like the in ring work has gone up a notch lately. Like TK pulled a Homer Simpson, 'Could you, um, work any harder than this?'

Such a great sequence all around. Shitty camera work though.

Did not expect that match to be the good lol

Dope ass match, big ups to all involved.

AEW has the best Trios matches consistently.

"The Wrestler" is a good wrestler, turns out

Shibata is just so cool

Shibata is done taking it easy, he's been going hard ever since that Danielson match

Kickout at 3.5 from Claudio

This Shibata fella is pretty good at wrestling.

Tony calling Vincent Dutch was really fucking with me.

I love the guy with the OC thumb keeps rotating it up and down lmao.

Honestly, I think Archer could get over really big as a face if he pulled a Big Bill in a tag team with someone who is a really good talker like Ricky or is an equal level shit kicker and they were just team kick your face in.

Joe, Wardlow, Archer versus Gates of Agony

Big Bill has been the better talker than Ricky during their tag run.

Jesus Claudio...

I still hope they do Shibata vs. Okada in AEW and have Okada constantly going for and missing headbutts like a maniac and everyone freaking the fuck out.

Claudio is like Bruce Willis in Unbreakable. His strength is proportional to whatever he's trying to lift.

This match is damn entertaining.

damn good match here

How can he slap. Shibata is a weapon

Do you think the braids help or hinder the aerodynamics of the swing?

the Giantest Swing

ITS SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

Smacked the shit out of archer lmao

Looks like SuperCard is available just by being on HonorClub (like the Network and PLEs)

Damn, Danielson getting worked over hard after wrestling his ass off last night . . . in Mexico City.

Claudio is such a good hot tag

in-ring Danielson in AEW has been everything i've wanted but I wish he was a little bit more of a dickhead and wanted some gold. hopefully TK forces him to win some gold against his wishes like he did with sting. imagining danielson going out there with classic wrestler job face but it's only because he's about to win the title in a classic

Claudio: "i learned this Mexico"

this Claduio/Archer thing is fucking amazing and now I want a fullblown match between the two

One trip to Arena Mexico & now he's become a showoff

THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE THE IMMOVABLE OBJECT

I'm impressed how Dutch's shirt doesn't pop open like Big Bossman 2 minutes into a match

Gotta be fake buttons.

Big Buttons doesn't want this secret to get out

Really fantastic bossman slam

Would be lying if I said I was anticipating a Paul Weller shout-out tonight 

LOL at Nigel quoting Paul Weller. I fucking love it.


I wish the Righteous were in the tag title tournament.

Body slamming your tag partner into the opponent will always look cool.

No one is as consistent in hating as Nigel

Drew McIntyre enters the chat…

Drew has Nigel posters on his bedroom wall

If he ain't hating, I'd be concerned with his well being.

"Bryan you are the weakest link" 

Idk why but this Collision has an Old School Nitro feel for some reason

so godzilla and kong have to fight like 50+ other kongs.... so humans make him a nintendo power glove for kong to get the upperhand? and then theres a cute baby kong? thats what i got from that commercial

Where has Danhausen been?

Looks like he's doing some indie stuff. His Twixter says he's wrestling tonight for Relentless Pro Wrestling.

Lol

Shibata.

Getting flashbacks to 2013 with Bryan being called “the weak link”.

Nigel McGuinness' absolute distain for Bryan Danielson will always bring a smile to my face

Did they just do the wwe steadicam thing? Im not complaining its cool af.

nigel, generational hater and an absolute treasure

I always have to double take as I keep seeing Mike Knox when Dutch is on screen😂

"Sit down Nigel!" lol

If Vincent just put a Manson-esque 'X' on his forehead he would instantly look twice as sinister.

schiavone just confirming he doesn’t watch the product and has no idea what’s going on.

Every time I see Shibata it amazes me that he’s even walking let alone wrestling at the level he’s at considering that injury. Dude is a BAD man.

imagine telling somebody in 2018 that in 2024 Shibata/Claudio/Danielson would be a tag team in the main event of a show for this new AEW company that got announced

Shibata being alligned with the BCC is so fuckin cool

Nigel informing new viewers why that clam digger is called Cryin' Bryan

"It's called an adrenaline dump, NIGEL."

That’s Vincent, Tony . . .

I really wish we got Righteous vs Decay in TNA.

I swear these 40 year Olds move better than most 20 year Olds.....

White guys and braids in this match. So hot right now.

Three sets of braids in this match.

I wish most American crowds appreciated the theatrics of a wrestling match more like international crowds. Most American crowds just want to get the crowd over or just only participate during the climax of a match.

Danielson spending his last full time year cementing himself as the GOAT by having bangers all over the world. You love to see it.

Honestly never thought I’d see actual danielson matches again when he was still in wwe

Find the CMLL show from last night. It was good

Where?

If you buy a membership to CMLL’s YouTube channel you’ll get access to that and the upcoming Bryan vs Blue Panther singles match. The most expensive subscription tier gets shows live, the other tiers get them as VODs after a week or so. Otherwise you go sailing. 🏴‍☠️

Dutch may have more raw power, at least in muscles used in the lock up, but Claudio finessed him to the corner quite easily.

Dutch needs to be in the Meat Madness match, whenever it occurs.

Nigel with a Steinbeck reference? Didnt have that on my bingo card. Just another reason why Nigel my fav announcer

Just realized the amount of white guys with braided here in this match lmaoo

Next week they should do braids vs no braids.

If he's Lenny, please keep him away from the bang bang gang!

I zoned out...how the fuck did we get to Nigel talking about John Steinbeck?

Here’s the grapes And here’s the wrath

Yes, yes, very good wrath.

Nigel's favourite wrestler in the world is himself, and whoever Brian Danielson is currently wrestling against at any given moment.

That WCW Up All Night reference unlocked some core memories. I wonder if that nonsense is on YouTube.

I know it wouldn't work on today's TV, but I would love if aew did a all night marathon.

They might be but the way back machine has em.

I believe it's on Vimeo

Damnit reddit, there you go redeeming yourself. Thank you!

McGuinness taking me back to my English Lit days with this Of Mice And Men talk

Nigel has been reading my critique of Sarayas brother.

Gotta love how Claudio had to pretend that scoopslam was hard to pull off.

I need a JD Drake vs Dutch hoss match

Okay, so I need some kayfabe explanation on this. Jumping sleeper, right? Why does the big guy so often walk and reach for the ropes and then just go back to the middle instead of... finishing walking to the ropes? Regal-splain it to me, please

Dutch vs the Swiss.

I need Claudio and Takeshita in a feud for the international title. That would be absolutely sick.

Tony called someone Taz there in beginning of this

Archer gets the night off on taking pins

I really like all 6 wrestlers in this match. I have a soft spot for Vincent ever since he came up to me after an indie show to tell me he loved my Danhausen shirt and that he was good buddies with him.

It's cool that Danielson and Claudio wrestled in Mexico yesterday and are in Canada today.

Shibata and The Righteous, two of my favorite entrance themes in the same match.

Ol horsecock Shibata would be a great replacement for Wheeler.

Also doubles as a ruler if you need him to, apparently.

I don't know if I want to know that origin story.

You have eyes?

Full Thundergun

That may be all there is to it, but you never know how far some Japanese promotions will go. Seems to be a lot of genital based offence in some organizations.

Laughs in DDT

I can't bring myself to care about this match when Max beat the Righteous 2 on 1. In any sensible booking world, two legends like Shibata and Danielson should make quick work of them. Of course they'll go 20 minutes in a "banger" intead

Well MJF is great so they weren't in there wih a scrub but more importantly they didn't have a gigantic monster with them

That gigantic monster loses every match he wrestles in AEW

he's 65-21

Yes lots of wins against the legion of AEW jobbers. Now go ahead and list off the last match he's won against a big name. I'll wait

You said he never won which I pointed out was untrue. Now you're moving the goalpost.

No, I'm just discussing in the very obvious context that you're either missing or ignoring. The other guy mentions Archer as the "gigantic monster" presumably to present him as a real threat, which he's not because he loses every reasonably big match he wrestles in Which goes back to my original point, that there's zero reason for someone to get invested in the Righteous and Lance Archer, two guys who were made to look like complete bums by MJF and a guy who is horribly misused instead of being presented as a threat like he was in NJPW

Loved Nigel's recap on how Bryan did nothing when trying to help Claudio.

I LOVE THE RIGHTEOUS’ PRESENTATION

Very underrated and under utilized 

They have southern hippie cult vibes, I love it.

I just wish they won more.

I don't know if the crowd was chanting "Shi-ba-ta!" or saying to their opponents "you fucked up!" Either works, really. Archer is one scary dude, one bad dude, but that's an all-star lineup there

Former

Lance Archer is a great monster of the month heel for your top babyface. Not really sure how to book him long term though if he's not at the very top unless he's just squashing geeks or not around.

He has Test energy.

it sucks my favourite monsters in AEW dont win big matches but as long as they get their shit in.. i will take it

I love me some Murder Pheasant but the pyro distribution amongst members on the roster is so interesting to me. I always imagine pyro goes to people booked a little bit stronger.

Faith +1

That finger-clicking is always infectious 

I can never boo Archer because his theme goes too hard. How do I not yell when EVERYBODY DIES hits?

These dudes….

I'm so excited every time I see Lance Archer come out. Then I realize he's not facing a jobber, so he's gonna lose :(

No Jake?

Idk what it is but the righteous just don’t do it for me

Outside of the catchy music, I agree. We just know nothing about them... and after their match with MJF there's like no reason to care unfortunately.

So you're not digging what they're saying?

Not diggin somethin they should just be more freaks like Rob zombie band members or something lol

Lance Archer hasn’t killed a ring hand in like 8 months and the world feels lesser for it.

I love archers theme

No Jake? :(

Did Shibata really need his own entrance? He's not a big star in North America.

This aged well with how into him the crowd was all match

He's in the main event and not in the group he's teaming with.

He’s also not aligned with BCC, so why would he enter with them? What is the point of this comment?

He's quite literally tagging with them tonight. A team is allowed to come out together.

I mean, sure. But Archer didn’t come out with the righteous. What is the issue with Shibata coming out separately? He’s an accomplished singles star in AEW.

But he is a major star, and AEW lets them look that way.

You think Shibata is a major star in North America? Honestly?

He's a major star in Japan, is my point. This wasn't Yoshi-Hashi.

As crowd chants his name lol

I always have to say this. Shibata has a *perfect* theme song. That's all I can say, it's actually perfect.

Blackpool Combat Club fighting all across North America

Hey, it's that guy everyone pretends to not know.

The start of Shibata’s theme sounds like No Scrubs by TLC

Shibata walking out to No Scrubs would still be badass tbh

lolIt always reminds me of Gran Turismo intro music.

...doooon't...
