what is up my fightful fam welcome to
the aw Collision post show I’m your host
aridian Fiero and Rick and Cresta have
the night off so joining me tonight is
graph City’s own Phil Lindsay Phil how
are you I’m good uh got a a lot to watch
today a lot of wrestling a lot of
basketball a lot to keep up
with um man you you did probably have a
busy day today so thank you so much for
joining me I know it’s a it’s a long one
for you but I appreciate it here now you
ready to put your Collision cowboy hat
on and talk about
Collision yeah I feel like ever since
Beyonce dropped Cowboy Carter we’ve been
seeing a lot more cowboy hats everywhere
so it feels only right yes and we had a
really stacked card tonight but before
we get into it if you guys want us to
read your comments make sure that you
send in those super chats send in those
Humper chats shout out to Drew who will
make sure that we get to all of those
comments before the end of the show and
we opened up with a trios tag team match
and I was pretty excited to see this one
we got Adam copelan Mark Brisco and
Eddie Kingston versus Top Flight in
action and Drey and the reason that I
was excited to see this one is because
of course we’re getting this Trio
tomorrow against the house of black and
Mark Brisco and action and Drey started
off the night and and Drey was
immediately going into like his Kung Fu
like moves he’s like I’m ready which I
applaud him for that right I feel like
he’s always got so much energy and he’s
just so much fun to watch in the ring
but um initially what did you think of
action and Drey did you know that he was
ready for a fight when he put on his
moves immediately I did not uh I thought
that that was a good response to uh Mark
I thought uh he looked great tonight I I
continue to be impressed in him and Top
Flight in the trios together um for
longest I’ve been saying those guys are
next up they should be the next trios
Champions yeah no they’re they’re really
good I am a huge fan of Top Flight and I
really think that they’ve just been
given a couple circumstances that have
been unfortunate but um that’s kind of
hindered their you know flight to the
top you know no pun intended
but but yeah they were really really
great tonight and um we just got to see
some really really great stuff from Top
Flight and I’m just always super super
impressed by them Dante was taking some
heavy chops from Eddie Kingston but he
was able to tag in Darius and he pretty
much cleaned house there was a quote
triple clothesline times two is what
Tony Shani called it and it looked great
I’m such a fan of just like actually
seeing like the cool moves being pulled
off because it’s it’s just something
that’s really really cool but um
ultimately Eddie picked up the win and
then the screen goes black and Phil I
guess I played myself tonight because I
didn’t think that the house of black was
going to show up but you know I should
have known better they’re colliders bro
that this is their show yeah man it’s I
was like man I I really just did um play
myself but they cut a promo that was
pretty much a warning and Malachi said
something along the lines of um correct
me if I’m wrong guys in the comments but
basically it was like I’m GNA put you in
a whole so deep you’re going to think
you’re in Hell which was honestly
bars yeah
yeah we got a lot of great promos
tonight and I thought that this was
really good I thought that uh this was a
great way to uh promote the match
tomorrow at Dynamite um I think this is
sometimes where Collision is at its best
because it’s the show right before the
pay-per-view I think it works really
good as a go home episode I I feel like
this episode of collision worked better
at a go home episode than Nite did
oh okay now I think that’s yeah I I kind
of agree with you I think that some of
the promos that they had tonight were
just kind of they really nailed it in
right that we’re like okay this is
really serious we’re getting some of the
the good championships put up and the
fuse have really been building up too so
I’m really excited for tomorrow and I’m
really glad that we got to see some of
the people who are going to be in action
tomorrow in action today because not
only like was it a warm-up but you know
it does it does get you excited and uh
yeah we are on right now while the third
hour of wrestling tonight is going on um
in in Rampage but we’re like we need to
immediately cover um collision and twin
uh van Twin Blade thank you so much for
your chats it says Nigel is a menace on
the 420 elimination match he needs to be
careful he doesn’t roll an ankle or
Another Joint haha no pun intended no
pun
intended uh man appreciate fan Twin
Blade as always yeah he’s so so great um
moving on we got a promo for the Samoa
Joe and the swerve match how are you
feeling about this match tomorrow going
into it after this promo man very
excited kind of kind of in my feelings
as a big swer of guy um I want him to
win man and I feel like he’s going to
just because I I’m heading out in the
morning to go to St Louis to go to
cision so super duper excited for this
match oh my God I can’t believe you’re
going that’s gonna be so much fun yeah
yeah I I when I saw this match was
announced and then the Osprey match was
announced I did not want to miss those
in person cuz it’s right there four
hours away I know and you say four hours
like it’s not a lot but it is a little
it’s it’s a little bit of a trek but man
I think it’s going to be so worth it
you’re going to have so much fun I’m
very much
jealous all right let’s go right into
the PowerHouse Hobs match and Don Callis
comes out and the man is already in the
ring c um CJ Esparza and I immediately
knew I’m like this is not good I don’t I
don’t have a good feeling about this and
Hobbs threw that man out of the ring and
slammed him over and over on the apron
and I was devastated for this kid like
I’m like I was like this is not good not
good and he tossed him back in then he
put him in an Argentine back breaker and
it was all too much for CJ it was all
too much for me and I completely
understand why they
tapped what did this look like for you
you watching it at home Phil yeah I knew
when we saw the size difference and Hobs
getting in there I was like oh yeah this
is uh this is basically going to be a
squash match for Hobbs and that’s what
it was it was just an exhibition where
Hobs got his got his [ __ ] off threw him
around then raged off this poor guy um
but it made hops look
great it did you know and then you know
Hobs picking up the win after the tap
Don Callis gets in the ring he gets on
the mic and porio was not feeling him at
all and I I can’t blame them you know
Don
Callas I was laughing because he is
literally the same height as Hobbs so
that kind of took away a little bit of
the power in the PowerHouse Hobs for me
I’m like oh that’s interesting I didn’t
know that you guys were the same height
but um Z Callis gets on and he starts
talking about how will hobbs’ match
against MOX will now be for the IWGP
World Heavyweight Championship on
Dynamite what are your thoughts on this
I think that that’s very cool for Hobs
we don’t get to see a lot of black men
challenge for that belt so I think
that’s really cool and I’m glad that MOX
is going to be present s Champion that
was one of those things I was a little
bit worried about when he won on
Saturday I was like all right is he only
going to do the Japan shows and New
Japan strong shows but because he cut
that promo on Dynamite I was like man
the show is just so much better when MOX
is there um so I’m glad that he’s going
to be there I’m glad he’s going to be
defending the Bel on Dynamite and I
think Hobs is a cool first Challenger
for him and were you there at Windy City
Riot when MOX won this Championship I
was there too I was like I feel like
Phil is here I couldn’t I couldn’t pin
it I was tweeting he’s here somewhere I
see it um but yeah man seeing him win
that championship and just the promo
that he cut afterwards that just it made
my heart so happy um what just what a
great time for Mox and I think he’s
gonna do right by that championship and
yeah I am glad that he’s defending it
against Hobs we don’t see Hobbs in in
the title picture too often and with a
man against with a man like MOX I think
um it’s going to be a great match so
we’ll we’ll see how that goes on on
Dynamite but um after afterwards we got
a promo for will Osprey and Brian
danielson’s match which I’m tonight’s
theme of the promos building up to the
pay-per-view fantastic
right thought they were absolutely um
Jericho then comes on the screen and
he’s apologizing to hook you know he’s
asking for a match for the FTW
Championship tomorrow and I was confused
because I’m like wait you’re apologizing
but your way of apologizing was asking
for a match that’s not how you apologize
I don’t think Chris Jericho gets it um
this was not the right way to do it Phil
would you accept an apology like that no
it it very much feels like he still
doesn’t understand what people are upset
about him about with him and he’s kind
of do trying to do this unironic thing
with the Jericho Vortex and all the
internet bits where it’s just like no no
I’m helping people what are you guys
talking about look I’ve helped this guy
I’ve helped that guy I just want to help
hook and I’m just like I just want you
to leave this kid alone man just leave
him
he’s like a stalker and Kate made me
laugh because she posted something on
Twitter that was like um Jericho looks
like a guy who like texts hook like
three times in a row or like and and
then hook will be like Oh I’m with my
boys or something like that or like new
number who’s this Twitter is having the
time of their life with this Feud I
don’t know where it’s going I absolutely
do not think that jerich was going to
take that Championship off of hook
there’s no way I feel like Hook is that
forever Champion for that Championship
right he can’t there’s there’s no way
like if Jericho wins this thing tomorrow
I I have no idea where we’re going I
don’t need to see this Feud extended I
we’ve had enough just give hook the win
and move
on we I I just don’t know what they’re
doing with Jericho and especially when
they paired him up with hook I was like
oh this is not going to be good not
because the stuff that Jericho is in
isn’t good but I feel like they’ve just
kind of been wish washy with him like
they they’re kind of like just not sure
what to do so they’re kind of like
playing around with putting him in
different spots and I think hook not to
say can have better feuds that’s no
shade but I think hook could be doing
more more stuff and people are gonna be
like oh my God but it’s it’s Chris
Jericho you know he’s fighting Chris
Jericho that’s gonna be a great match
and and it is but like what are we gonna
do after this is what I’m
thinking yeah I think it I think the
followup matters here if the followup is
good then fine with it um I was
wondering of course after you had the
big match with Samoa Joe earlier this
year all right you got to start pushing
this guy you got to start doing more
with him I want to see him more on TV
and I think this is a step in the right
direction putting him with a star as big
as Jericho but man I don’t need to see
this Feud go on for three months man
don’t do this to us please no no three
months no three- hour shows I absolutely
agree with you Phil we’re on the same
page on that one yeah just yeah give him
the win at the pay-per-view and then
move on it’s fine oh my God guys make
sure you continue to send in your super
chats your Humper chats Drew is
monitoring all of that for us again
shout outs to Drew he’s always so great
let’s move on to the next match of
another tag team we got the acclaimed
versus the guns and Jay White is
accompanying the guns out to the ring
and my first thought is like where is
juice we have no update on juice
Robinson I’m in my fields are you also
in your feels pH I miss juice man like I
didn’t expect to like juice as much as I
did as a member of this group and he’s
the hard and soul to this group man we
need big juice back man and I really
thought he was gonna come back when they
kind of broke away from the acclaimed I
thought juice was going to come back and
say like what are we doing with the
acclaimed we don’t need them and then
that didn’t happen and then we kind of
saw him in the background in a promo you
know when Jay White was gardening so I’m
just wondering when he’s going to show
up maybe tomorrow maybe at double or
nothing I don’t know what’s more likely
but Mor of the story I miss juice and I
feel like a lot of us missed juice he
was the Collision Cowboy yeah definitely
missing juice uh uh we got a very funny
comment last week on grab City because
uh uh Mr C had just passed away and we
were giving our condolences to him and
somebody afterwards was like no rest in
peace to OJ listen juice Robinson is the
only juice we acknowledge around here
let that be
known period
okay I am cackling oh my goodness
um some comments are wild they truly are
I respect it though I respect it um the
acclaimed gave um their their Mike a
chance tonight you know we got to see
Max Caster holding a mic and he did a
rap and I was like oh we we gave him a
mic interesting so um he’s talking about
how of course it’s 420 and then it made
sense in my head I’m like duh of course
Max is going to come out about 420 and
of course he says ass boys again and
everyone loses it what was your thought
as soon as you saw Max with the
mic uh I was like buddy hope this is
good and it was it was fine I thought it
was good um but um yeah because he’s had
a lot of Misses lately and so I’m glad
we’re back yeah I I wonder
what was the thought process into it but
I guess they you know tomorrow’s a
pay-per-view and they don’t have a
significant spot in in the pay-per-view
so they’re like we’ll we’ll just do it
now um but Crest and I had talked about
previously how they should kind of save
the Ws from Max Caster to like big
pay-per-view events like that
right those are yeah our thoughts I I I
just think that he should do less of
them because they feel less special when
he does them every episode and so he
doesn’t need to do them every episode at
this point I I can I can get down with
him doing them like the week before
pay-per-view or the week before a big
Feud or
something yeah uh the the guns walked in
in the ring and then they immediately
walked out and Tony Shani is like whoa
whoa whoa he gets on the mic and it’s
like all right um he says if the guns
walk out then there will be no match for
them tomorrow at Dynasty and the guns
immediately got back in their ring and I
know that’s right okay you’re not going
to mess with Tony Shani um and of course
Tony KH threatening them with that no
match tomorrow um Colton was hit with a
scissor me Timber right off the bat and
Max Caster had Austin in a corner and it
was just constant constant blows to the
face um Anthony had an accidental run
into Max and Colton almost took
advantage of that but Austin then calls
for the 310 to Yuma and Bowen saw it
coming and of course there was a blind
tag but man there was just some
craziness going on in this match and um
Colton rolled up Max and held on to the
rope and then Jay White of of course no
hate to Jay because I love Jay but he
always got to come and interfere right
he puts the bat into the ring so Colton
can hold on to it and they picked up the
win and I guess the feud between the
acclaimed and the guns continues Phil
where do you hope that this Feud goes
to I feel like uh bullet Club gold has
to win tomorrow night I feel like uh
this is the right thing uh unify those
belts merge those belts we do not need
two sets of trios belts um and I don’t
know seeing these guys tonight just kind
of uh confirmed what I’ve been saying
for a minute confirmed what I said
earlier on grapsid that the claim
they’re just better as a tag team and
I’m ready for them to go back to being a
tag team yeah I do like just I I feel
like the guns
especially um they also need to get
pushed I love the acclaimed and they
were just on such a quick rise to the
top and I feel like it was diminished
for a little bit because I I was at the
I I want to say it was all out that you
know Chicago was cheering for them they
wanted them to win those titles and when
they didn’t I feel like it was putting
aw in a spot of like man we I think we
should have put them on there but we’ll
just we’ll just do it at the next
pay-per-view and I feel like that kind
of hindered with their success a little
bit um but yeah I’m just I’m not all in
on the Acclaim like I used to be I feel
like now as time for the guns and you
really have something good with them and
especially with Jay White and once juice
comes back then you can really focus on
pushing the guns a little bit more um
but man yeah I thought this was a pretty
good match what did you think about this
match overall I enjoyed it um I think
both of these teams are great as a tag
team and of course there was allout that
was of course the night that another
famous thing happened in Chicago um uh
but yeah the one of the more positive
things that happened was that tag mat
and how over the acclaimed were um and
they’re not as hot as they were but they
still continue to be a really good tag
team um I just enjoy them more as a Duo
um that’s not a knock at Billy I just
think that they’re better as a tag team
no and eventually you know I don’t know
when it’s going to be but you know that
we’re gonna get Billy back with his kids
um and I know that the arena whenever
that happens is going to explode because
then this is going to be the start of a
new group of a new Trio that I feel like
could really give the trios division a
run for their money um and I know the
merch is just going to go amazing so I’m
ready for
it um we then go backstage and we get
leir interviewing Brian Danielson and he
has his hair down okay he means business
the hair was not in a braid it was not
in a bun I knew it was gonna get rough
tonight um he says he was feeling alive
and he seemed excited for his bunk house
match which I have no idea what that was
this is the first time I heard of it
tonight me neither I’ve never heard of a
bun I’ve I guess I’ve heard that term
before but I was just like what does
that mean what is the rules of this
match I know and then my immediate
thought to I was like bunk house tree
house that’s where my my mind went and
I’m like what could a treehouse match be
like I am confused why didn’t they just
say like no disqualification match like
yeah that’s what the stipulation was
anyway will Osprey interrupts and he
says that he has nothing to do with
what’s been going on Backstage and
clearly Brian does not believe him and
he walks away do you believe will
Osprey I do I think that uh I do I I
believe him and I think that Don is
doing D things but that doesn’t really
have anything to do with Osprey Osprey
just wants to win his
match yeah and you know what I I believe
him too and I feel like that might come
back to bite us because we believe him
right now I I think it would be
absolutely a choice as over as asprey is
right now to go full on and make him a
heel um is and and you’re going to put
him next to somebody and D that gets so
much heat like that’d be a very odd
decision this guy is really hot man I
think you guys keep pushing in the way
he is I feel like the idea for will
ospry coming into aw was to have him as
a heel and the fact that he’s so over
with the crowd right now that made them
kind of like be like oh okay maybe we
have to keep him as a baby face they
maybe weren’t expecting this that’s what
it seems like to me but um yeah I don’t
think he’s got any to do with it I feel
like he really was honest in saying that
I want Daniel or you know Danielson as
healthy as possible because I want to
fight him in the best version of himself
and I I truly believe that but we could
be back here next week talking about how
wow we were really played yeah uh true
trumer is saying that a bunk house match
was a Dusty
dust match type so that makes sense I
like I said I know I’ve heard it before
but I’m just like what is what is the
what does that mean like he’s saying
well no he says the buck house Stampede
rather it’s a Dusty match okay I’m gonna
have to go back and look thank you so
much um very interesting yeah I I’m
telling you when I first heard that I’m
like what kind of match I didn’t know I
thought this was just a regular tag team
match I didn’t know we were in for a
stipulation but um it was great and then
right after that we got a promo from
Tony storm and boy can Tony storm cut a
promo right Phil
she’s she’s amazing um Phil yeah what
what are your thoughts on this
promo oh feels a little stuck it’s okay
um she was covered in in like red makeup
in blood I don’t know what it was but um
she she’s just always great she’s so
creative with what she says um what did
you think about Tony in this promo
tonight this promo was incredible man uh
coming out and still having all of the
makeup and stuff over her face from the
segment with Rosa from dynamite and uh
starting it was like I want you to keep
this in color I want you to see my face
I want you to see what she did to me so
cool and her getting into it and saying
look you may be a warrior but I am a
star and so good just getting into also
like you know I did everything you could
not do with this belt you could not hold
the weight of this belt and that’s why I
had to show up so so good this was an
incredible promo God she was talking
about
like something about like she making
love to her demons or something like
that she’s like man yes
insane like I don’t know she spent all
week probably writing this it was
amazing amazing and she she really sold
it honestly till you mentioned it right
now I didn’t even notice that it was in
col color and of course she did that
purposely for a reason man it’s just
she’s just doing her best work honestly
um in promos um I wouldn’t say in ring
because we don’t get to see her a lot in
ring but this story has really just
pushed her to the top uh and not even
like of of a star but like of her work
and shout outs to her man she’s doing so
so good um yeah th this might sound like
blasphemy because they also got Athena
and you know now they have Mercedes but
I think in terms of what she’s done now
like like collectively what Tony has
done with aw I think she’s been the best
WWE signing to come from there as like
out out of the women I think she’s the
best she’s been the most consistent I
think in terms of like the matches and
Championship stuff as Athena but Tony’s
been a really really good signing for
them yeah no I agree with you um yeah
Athena has had just a fantastic run and
um the only thing that’s like been
hindering her is no shade but it’s the
fact that she’s on Ring of Honor and a
lot of people don’t watch Ring of Honor
um we get more exposed to Tony um but
man just two really really great uh
pickups for aw um guys we’re we’re
nearing the the end of of the show so
make sure you send in those super chats
send in those hum chats I still have so
many notes I have so many notes to go
we’re getting second hour Lord Jesus um
so let’s talk about this Brian Danielson
and claudo ceni match versus kenosi
teesa um and Kyle Fletcher in this match
that we didn’t know what it was a bunk
house brawl as soon as I saw Brian
Danielson come out with his jeans and
his little knee pads over the
[Laughter]
jeans I knew that this was not going to
be good okay I knew that this match was
going to be chaos I knew that there was
going to be blood and chaos
there was man teesa and Kyle didn’t even
wait to come out you know their little
entrance they immediately attacked BCC
and then they went straight for the
crowd and at this point I was like man I
wish I would have gone to the show I
feel like this one would have been a
great one to see live did you have a
little bit of fomo Phil um during this
match or during any match of the card
tonight yeah that’s right I keep
forgetting that Collision was in
Illinois as in Poria tonight uh so it
was close um I’ve never actually been to
peora yet so I have no idea what’s down
here yeah me me neither but I like
looked how far it was and it was like
two two-ish hours two and a half hours
and I was said nope for a collision love
Collision nope but
unless unless it’s in win trust Arena or
you know somewhere here no it’s it’s not
happening sorry but I did have a little
bit of fomo because I’m like oh man they
could be in the crowd right in front of
my face like I could be
you know helping them um helping the BCC
whatever but um let’s talk about this
match so Danielson was trying to choke
out Kyle Fletcher and I don’t know with
what it was if it was like a belt a Sho
string a camera cord I don’t know what
it was but he immediately chose violence
and I I appreciated
it um teesa bit claudo and I covered my
eyes halfway I was looking like this I’m
like this there’s no way this this
happening right now there was just too
much to look at and um it was lot Phil
what did you think about this match as
as it was starting this match was
absolutely crazy some crazy spots uh the
catcha digging his fingers into Brian’s
forehead oh my God I was like please you
you have a match tomorrow like yeah a
match with will asprey please be
careful man A lot of times when I see
these things I’m like you have my money
already I paid you you know especially
when I go to wrestling shows and they do
this I’m like I paid you already you
have my money you don’t got to do all
this crazy stuff but I appreciate it you
know it’s it’s the love of the of the
sport um cladio swung to kesa tonight
and kesa and I talk about this all the
time about the most disrespectful moves
in wrestling and this is one of them
okay I’m so sorry that people get swung
that’s got it that’s so embarrassing I
felt so bad for teesa I’m like sir how
do you go back to the locker room after
that after getting by clao couldn’t be
me um Kyle throws a chair at Brian as
he’s flying out out of the ring and then
they cut back to the action and when by
the time they cut back to Brian
Danielson he’s bleeding and I said oh my
God I knew it I knew there was gonna be
blood and I hate it but I live for
it and I know Brian loves to bleed and
he talked about this a little bit um in
the promo that cup but we’ll get to that
um as soon as you saw the blood what was
your initial thought um Phil did you
thought did you think oh it’s about time
or you know it’s it’s too soon for
blood um I immed Med thought like this
is two nights in a row we got Kevin
Owens getting rolled out last night with
the blood all over his face and then
tonight we got blood I’m like man we’re
we’re back baby wrestling with blood is
back this is too much for me this is too
much for me man um they also show Brian
Danielson all bloody again and Nigel can
we talk about Nigel mcennis Nigel MC a
guy yes what a guy he talks about well
um he Danielson was attractive to start
with you know he’s going to need plastic
surgery Nigel sir please he cannot keep
he can’t keep getting away with this he
can’t keep getting away with
it you know I feel like he’s gonna keep
getting away with it
though quick story time I met Nigel At
russle Con and he’s a great guy but of
course I was like oh my God I love
listening to your commentary on
collision and you know what he said to
me he Saidi love calling Brian Danielson
a Clam Digger he said that during during
our interaction and I’m like sir you’re
not even on TV right now he’s just ready
he’s he’s got beef with um on site yes
and you know what we were talking a
little bit about rap beef um before we
started recording this is wrestling beef
this is what I need to see I need to
hear Nigel cut some bars and then I need
to hear Brian danielson’s take on it
because Lord Jesus this is all too much
way too much yeah he he just seems like
he’s just a nice guy when it comes to
everything else and then when it comes
to Brian he like turns into Crocker from
Fairly ey parents where just like Brian
he’s like jumping around like screaming
like Brian
s oh my God yeah he’s like a dog when
they see the squirrels automatically
like squirrel like his Focus out the
window and only on Brian Danielson um
tees though was also on the receiving
end of some yes kicks and and a spin
kick there was a double double brain
Busters from Kyle and teesa to the BCC
and then Hobbs comes out which I’m like
of course of course Hobs is gonna come
out right but I did not expect mox’s
music to hit and I’m like here we go
this is what I’ve been waiting for I’m
ready for it and man did they deliver um
what did you think when Hobs and and MOX
came out uh I was surprised to see MOX I
did not know MOX was there uh but I
guess I should have figured once we got
the announcement that it’s was going to
be an
IWGP uh world heavyweight title match um
on Wednesday uh but I thought that this
was a great way to not just build to the
pay-per-view match but also build to the
stuff with Mox and uh Hobs next week
yeah and um there was definitely a lot
going on during this match and also
while MOX was out there I’m like UDA
where are you like give me I like I know
he’s injured give me a video package
give me a voicemail give me something I
need to sign a life a tweet something
sir um I went to uh the Ring of Honor
show in Philly and uda’s from Philly so
I kind of expected you know him to show
up because he is the Ring of Honor pure
Champion but he didn’t and I’m like man
they could have at least shown a little
video package he could have made a an
Instagram video something to give us a
sign of life but they didn’t so don’t
know the severity of his injury but I’m
hoping that he comes back because he has
missed I do miss seeing Willer UD on the
BCC I thought he as the the youngest
member of the group he really added
something he had this drive he was
having this these great matches with um
Daniel Garcia with Lee Mor arti and I
think this injury very unfortunate but
at least put him on TV put him on the
screen at
least yeah I miss big Utes uh there’s
plenty that you mentioned it cuz I’m
like wow we you were at Super Car div
but that’s right I did see you in Philly
uh it just sounds funny like this is now
like almost two weeks in a row I was
like oh we’re in the same building okay
and how you know what it’s so crazy
because we were partying together we
were at w Mania we we chatted for a
little bit and then I feel like Philly
there was just so much going on and
everyone was doing their own thing but
there was a moment where it was you me
rej and kesta and we’re like okay little
fightful crew ready for it I totally
missed sea I heard Shawn was in there
and I saw Sean I completely missed him
and I’m like wow me being in the same
building as my boss and I didn’t get to
see him so maybe next time but it was it
was fun we all partied for a little bit
so yeah Sean Sean came and said hello I
was standing by the bar uh he had a
whole suit on it was
funny because he was he was in the back
doing Media stuff apparently uh but I
did see him shout outs to him shout outs
to you boss love to see it um what did
you think about Brian’s comments after
the match because he also gave a
fantastic
promo yeah uh that promo was so great I
love Brian um him explaining what his
idea of Heaven is and saying that his
idea of Heaven is being in this ring
bleeding for you
guys I’m gonna be really sad when he’s
no longer wrestling at fulltime anymore
man um and I’m trying not to think about
it but he’s just so great and I think
this year is just been reminding us at
every time of just how good he is at the
wrestling how good he is at just being a
complete utter maniac and and cutting
these incredible promos man he just man
one of the best to ever do it man I
don’t want to think about that moment
when he’s because I feel like I know I’m
gonna be crying you know Brian Danielson
has just done so much in aw it’s been
crazy to see what he’s been able to do
especially after WWE um because you know
that whole YES Movement was amazing to
see in itself and now coming to aw and
kind of getting his like dream matches
that he’s always wanted to do um it
pulls out your heartstrings man because
you’re like this guy’s just a fantastic
wrestler he’s definitely one of the
greatest of all time to do it and it’s
just I feel like birdie needs to give
him another year you
know I don’t think it’s gonna
happen but you know as we’re still gonna
see him he’s still gonna be you know
behind the scenes he might be
commentating he might be helping so it’s
it’s not the last time we’re going to
see him but like wrestling wise
it’s just going to be a little
devastating um but it we’ll cross that
road when we get to it right he was
talking about how when some people think
about heaven they think about like 40
virgins but again like like you said his
heaven was him standing in the ring
bleeding in front of a crowd and I I
just felt that I felt that from his
heart it reminded me of the speech that
he was giving when he talked about Brie
saying that like if you fight for your
dreams your dreams will fight for you
which also still pulls out my
heartstrings he’s just so great great I
love Bri I feel like we could talk about
Brian Danielson for a whole hour tears
man like when he came out of retirement
he cut that promo it’s still one of the
greatest things he’s ever done in my
opinion um him cutting that promo and
him looking back and he had the
Wrestlemania sign behind him tears man I
literally in my house crying watching
it oh my goodness oh just great great
stuff and then right after that promo we
go backstage to stokeley Chris
statlander and Willow and we got an Fu
Pro from them um does FU mean the same
thing to you as it does to stokeley or
to Chris D lender and Willow because
they said it meant fired up
okay yeah uh I I love uh Willow cutting
her promo and Stat hyping her up and
their goofy uh cheesy way and her saying
I’m fired up and then uh statlander giv
that short for Fu and it’s just like I
don’t think that’s what that means but
they kept going back and forth and I was
wondering like as wholesome as of This
was um was uh Willow really going to get
fired up here and she did Willow
actually said a curse word here I was
like oh we’re here slow down now Willow
you know keep a PG here man I these
these three are ridiculous in the best
way possible I love what stokeley really
adds to Chris at lender and Willow it’s
just something that’s his comedic timing
is impeccable right so great and what
he’s just been able to add to that Trio
I don’t know where they’re going next
but I’m happy to be on this ride with
them because it’s just hilarious I
genuinely thought they were gonna slip
up and say the f word I genuinely
thought that because you know fired up
is short for f you you know what Fu
short for and it fired up and I’m like
oh my God and stokeley was just looking
at Chris like waiting for something to
happen so this was a little fun Pro
maybe my favorite promo of the night um
next to um Tony storm because hers was
just so so good um so of course 20
minutes into the second hour you know
what time it is time for a women’s match
and we got sky blue versus legit Leela
Hirsch and Sky had the upper hand
immediately so as soon as the bell rung
um she hit a spinning neck breaker onto
the apron onto the outside which
literally looked disgusting um it kind
of rocked Lea um it would have rocked me
honestly maybe that would have taken me
out that would have been too much if was
in that move definitely would have taken
me out um she also hit a cartwheel and
elbow shot to the face which looked
fantastic I love to see sky blue in the
ring because week after week she just
gets more vicious she gets better her
hits get harder and I think you’ve just
been able to see her progression and
she’s doing so good right Phil man she
has improved so much man just seeing her
progress just not not just in the ring
but as a character um she’s man I she’s
going to be one of those like eventually
she’s going to win a singles title there
and we’re going to be able to say we
followed her entire story from being
like on a tier contract all the way up
to this point uh it’s just been so cool
to watch it man um and lela’s one of
those people where man she she’s so so
good I wish that they would use her more
on TV man those suplexes she was hitting
man fire man she’s she’s one of knows
that I think with like the right push
she can be great yeah and Leila is small
but she packs a big big punch you know
she I feel like she hits bigger than she
is and you can’t really say that for a
lot of people so she’s she’s fun to
watch but um Leila started to get some
momentum but it definitely wasn’t enough
to pick up the win um it was kind of a
quick match and I was kind of
disappointed but what did you think
about this quick women’s match yeah I
think it was quick but I I enjoyed
seeing these two in a together we
haven’t really seen them interact much
and I think it was a good matchup um I
thought it was great for what it was uh
like you I would have liked to see more
but I mean it was great for what it was
yeah um I agree with you with the fact
that you know sky blue is one day going
to win a championship and we’re going to
be like wow we were really able to
follow her her progression and someone
that I also see in that position is Anna
J I think we don’t get to see enough of
her I think every week every time we see
her in the ring she gets better better
so um yeah it’s just the women in the
division like there’s some that really
go um not to say unused but I guess
underutilized and when they get back in
the ring you’re just like man you see it
so it’s just tough when you only get one
women’s match but um you know what are
you gonna do about that um yeah any
final thoughts about this um women’s
match yeah I thought it was good for
what it is uh I think that uh
I would love to see Leela be one of
those people that gets inserted into the
TNT title picture
eventually um because she’s she’s just
so great I I think all the time like why
are they not using her moral TV maybe
they just don’t have the right character
or anything but I just think she’s great
yeah because you know they were using
her on Ring of Honor a little bit and
she was working with Maria they she she
was trying to recruit her um but I don’t
know why why that didn’t work out um I
don’t watch a lot of of Ring of Honor
but um I’m glad that we got to see
tonight on collision maybe she can make
Collision her home you know we have a
lot of great women on there that get
featured and if she’s going to put
matches out like the one that she did
with Sky you know why not yeah did I say
TNT I meant
TBS she can go for both titles okay
listen man both Turner Turner broadcast
whatever whichever one that it is okay I
whichever one it is you know what I mean
the you know the Turner branded title
for the women

did you have your money on tonight Phil
did you have your money on okata and the
Young Bucks in the elite or pack and
FTR uh definitely the new formed to
leite because those guys don’t lose like
they’re they money exactly the the rain
of of money comes out every single time
so I need to be at one of of those shows
to collect one of those bucks man so it
needs I need to be close enough to catch
one because I’m just I don’t know what
I’m going to do with myself um frame it
I don’t know but they they look really
really cool so let’s get into this main
event we got to see um Pac and okata
honestly as the MVPs of this match these
guys were putting in the work and um not
to say that FTR and the Young Bucks
weren’t but something about pack and and
okata I need to see that match so many
times going forward I need to see a best
of seven
I don’t care I thought it was great um
Phil what are your thoughts on this
match I I got completely thrown off
because I just looked down at my phone
and apparently Matt Hardy is back with
TNA um wow oh wow that’s yeah that’s
huge honestly my money was that he was
going back to WWE but um wow
that’s sorry what was the question that
just completely threw me up no um who
did you have your um you know what did
you think of in okata um I I was saying
that they could have a best of seven
they would be amazing for me um but what
did you think about this match very
excited for that match for tomorrow
night that was definitely one of those
that I was excited to see in person
definitely want to be at that show to
see those two wrestle um but I feel like
this episode of collision showed us how
great Trio’s wrestling is and it’s just
like man why can’t you do that more with
the belts like like give the actual
Champions these these kind of matches on
a regular basis and I don’t think people
would be so down on those belts cuz
Trio’s wrestling is fun man and there
were man the matches We Got Tonight were
just so good this match was great really
really good Main Event yeah um pack was
able to hit a tilt to World back breaker
on Nicholas Jackson because I’m a little
scared to say the shorten version of
game um 10 out of 10 execution that
looks fantastic pack just be pulling
some stuff off that I’m like bro how do
you do that this man is so intimidating
I was behind him once at a coffee shop
um I think it was starcast or no might
have been uh double or nothing and um
he’s intimidating okay he was wearing
sunglasses and it looks like he just
doesn’t want to talk to anybody I was a
little scared and um He Lives who he is
all right it’s it’s not just a character
guys he he’s like that um there was a
tree of Woe mishap to the Young Bucks
which they might be feeling tomorrow it
looked in forunate and I’m sure it felt
unfortunate too um okada’s torso looked
disgusting they showed him in the ring
and it was just the chops were marked on
him the marks that he has on his arms
terrifying um max then Max Dax tried a
sharpshooter while the Bucks were being
held back but they escaped then we had a
super KCK party it’s never a collision
without a superi party um there was a
lots of it used to be
[Laughter]
I can’t with you um there was a lot of
pins being broken up as a team which I
appreciate seeing because I just think
that that adds to the chaos it’s so much
fun um then a shatter machine um was
given to Nicholas Jackson and pack was
left in the ring and you know when he
gets to the top rope it’s over pack uh
picked up the win and I was like oh
interasante um I wasn’t inspecting that
yeah
what are your thoughts what did you
think about this match um yeah I thought
this was great I thought the Finish was
great um Dax always kind of shows out in
some of these matches I thought he was
great and the few exchanges he had with
okata I was like
man go figure I kind of want to see this
singles match now because this was
really good yeah no man they I don’t
know what I feel like the FTR and the
Bucks you know the chemistry that they
have it just you can always it on screen
right these matches that they have
really they show up and show out and
it’s like you’re never going to get
bored of seeing these guys fight each
other they can fight each other for the
rest of their careers and always give us
something different in their matches um
of course the Young Bucks were like no
no no this is not this is not how we’re
gonna end it all right we’re still gonna
attack you and then Danny Garcia comes
out which was a nice surprise I wasn’t
expecting Danny Garcia to go and help
out
FTR yeah I wasn’t expecting to see
Garcia either so I was very very
surprised by that I popped big for
it and he came out in his new t-shirt so
he’s ready to sell that merch you know
I’m wondering where this is gonna end up
taking Danny Garcia because I thought he
was going to be integrated in FTR and we
didn’t get that so um now I’m just
wondering again like what are they doing
with
Danny yeah I don’t know uh I wonder if
he’s going to end up back in the TNT
title pitcher because it seemed like he
kind of has some unfinished business
there with cope um but other than that I
don’t know maybe him and FDR will
eventually challenge for the trios belts
I don’t know I mean like I feel like a
lot of things could get tossed up in the
air but I also think that they’re kind
of also unsure what to do with Dany much
like they’re kind of unsure what to do
with hook um so I just I don’t know same
thing with like Shane Taylor promotions
I feel like with Lee Mor arti they just
kind of don’t know and like my thing is
like all right just put these guys on TV
and have them fight each other every
sing week like you get to see the young
guys show off make another Continental
classic it doesn’t need to be so often
because I know Tony was like all right
I’m so ready to you know kind of back to
back them but I’m like all right we do
need to give it some time um yeah I I
need to see a little bit more from from
that side because we see Chris Jericho
um we see Jeff Jared we see you know a
lot of the the older talent and that’s
no shade there’s no agism okay but just
want to see see the young guys a little
bit more because we know like these are
the guys that you can really build your
division around you know Ricky Starks I
know he’s with big Bill right now but
like these are your guys who you can say
in like five years they are the face of
the company right yeah man as Shack
might be on to
something I don’t
know crazy stuff Garcia versus okata for
the title he inal classic that that
makes a lot of sense yeah DG versus
okata for a title could be could be um
but then again taking that title off of
okata like
no I don’t I don’t think Garcia is gonna
win it but like just as a one-off match
I’d be all for that yeah no I mean
there’s I feel like we can fantasy book
so many things for for Dany for uh lee
morard for wheeler UDA when he gets back
but can you guys tell him salty about
wheeler UDA not showing up that in
Philly and his hometown but
um back on TV man yes that’s the moral
of tonight’s episode where is
UDA oh man yeah okay so overall what
would you rate tonight’s show before I
guess the go home show to the
Dynasty uh I thought it was a great go
home show I thought uh the stuff that
they did show to promote the
pay-per-view was good the little
vignettes they showed were all great I
thought all the promos tonight were
great um go figure this was kind of like
the show where not not only did trios
wrestling Excel it kind of felt like uh
those New Japan shows that are like in
between the big shows where they use
those like big multi-man matches to Hype
up the pay-per-view um and I really like
that I hope that they do more stuff like
that with Collision yeah and you get to
see more of the talent featured feel
like the matches are a little bit more
exciting they’re a little bit higher
stake because there are so many you know
other players being factored in um this
was just great and I was happy that
Nigel was back on commentary because he
wasn’t there last week but he brought it
to a 12
tonight someone in the comments was like
you can’t spell megis without men or
