Welcome to another edition of my AEW Collision Hits &amp; Misses column, the only Hits &amp; Misses column that puts the word \u201ccamp\u201d into everything except the word \u201ccamping\u201d because I don\u2019t do camping because I don\u2019t do the outdoors because I\u2019m allergic to nature, and it\u2019s good to know my train of thought is staying on track this week.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, if you missed it, I appeared on this week\u2019s edition of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-Show for AEW Collision with Mr. McMahon. (Not saying which one.) But in all seriousness, I had a lot of fun participating in that episode alongside its host, Mike McMahon (which is technically a Mr. McMahon), and you can check it out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blogtalkradio.com\/wadekellerpodcast\/2023\/10\/08\/wkpwp--107-aew-collision-post-show-wmcmahon-d-bryant-callers-emails\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, with all that out of the way, let\u2019s dive straight into what will probably be the least-watched episode of AEW Collision ever &#8211; not to be confused with the least-watched episode of Dynamite ever, which will air this Tuesday against a totally normal episode of WWE\u2019s NXT featuring Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, John Cena, the return of the Undertaker, a time-traveled Rock from 1998, Elvis Presley but from before he got fat, and direction by Stanely Kubrick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>COLD OPEN \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some highlights:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Brian Danielson said he\u2019d been wrestling longer than Kyle Fletcher has been alive, and I\u2019m old AF.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Kyle Fletcher elaborated on what would happen during his match against Danielson by saying, \u201cTonight, I\u2019m going to show up and stand on my own two feet.\u201d<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2813802857\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>&#8211; Ricky Starks promised that he and Big Bill would become the new AEW World Tag Team Champions, and I laughed until I didn\u2019t later.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Eddie Kingston cut the best promo out of everyone in this cold open, and I don\u2019t have a joke about it. I just wanted to point that out.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; FTR (shouldn\u2019t this have come after the Starks promo?) cut a promo in which they revealed Cash Wheeler has a fractured rib. (Ohhhh, that makes sense.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>RICKY STARKS &amp; BIG BILL DEFEATS FTR \u2014 MINOR-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If Cash Wheeler is truly injured, then this was the right choice. A part of me wishes AEW would have had Dax Harwood carry the match for longer than five minutes, but if you\u2019re going to do something like this, it makes sense to put over the winning team as strongly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll admit, when the referee counted to three, I was shocked, and not just because I did a spit-take into an electric outlet. FTR is already an all-time great tag team, even if they were to retire tomorrow, but I hope they don\u2019t. I hope Wheeler recovers quickly and these two are able to return to the top of the card where they belong.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: I was saddened to see so many empty seats in the arena tonight. A title change of this magnitude deserved to be witnessed by more eyeballs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BRIAN DANIELSON VS. KYLE FLETCHER \u2014 MEGA-HIT<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3393897829\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>This was a 16-minute showcase match for Kyle Fletcher, who dresses like an elf, fights like the Night King, and lives in the magical land of Oz. Sadly, Fletcher didn\u2019t win. I say sadly because while wrestling Danielson is a career boost in and of itself, winning would have been next level, and based on some of his overseas matches, I think Fletcher is at or near that level. AEW needs more new, young stars standing tall over their opponents, and Fletcher should be one of them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>STARKS &amp; BIG BILL CUT A PROMO \u2014 MINOR-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Starks\u2019s portion of this promo was fantastic, but Big Bill\u2019s portion felt like it was missing something. I would advise having Starks do most of the talking between these two going forward. Starks has a great way with words, and Big Bill has a great way with being big.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: I have no problem with these two de-throning FTR. In fact, I hope AEW gives them a long, healthy run with the titles and refrains from using them as transitional champions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ROBINSON &amp; THE GUNN CLUB VS. GRAVITY, ANGELICO, AND METALIK \u2014 MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gravity\u2019s gimmick needs to be brought back down to Earth because Gravity\u2019s gimmick is weighing him down. The Gunn Club\u2019s gimmick is flying high, but it wasn\u2019t enough to make this exhibition match feel meaningful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BELT-THEFT EPIDEMIC \u2014 MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AEW\u2019s wrestlers needed to store their belts in a ringside safe going forward. How are there not rules to stop this? Imagine if you broke into a co-worker\u2019s cubical and stole their computer to show them who\u2019s boss? Your actual boss would fire you immediately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JAY WHITE\u2019S PROMO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jay White\u2019s mic skills are so good they were able to make me forget he was running the same belt-theft storyline they saddled Ruby Soho with last month.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: I loved Jay White claiming that the reason his upcoming match with Adam Page wouldn\u2019t be for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship was because he didn\u2019t think Hangman had done enough to deserve a shot at \u201chis\u201d championship. However, I didn\u2019t love White taking a shot at WWE\u2019s \u201celiminator match\u201d terminology. While I don\u2019t like that terminology, I\u2019m not fond of taking shots at other promotions for no reason.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, I don\u2019t like WWE as much as I like AEW, but that doesn\u2019t mean I dislike WWE. Because of this, when an AEW wrestler mocks WWE on national television, it feels like they\u2019re telling me I have bad taste, and maybe they\u2019re right. Maybe I do have bad taste, but I\u2019d prefer it if the company I spend hundreds of dollars on every year would refrain from telling me about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NICK WAYNE\u2019S PROMO VIDEO \u2014 MEGA-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of taste. Nick Wayne has good taste. I liked his burgundy Nike shoes at WrestleDream, and I flat-out loved his oversized panda-colored sweater from last week. Apparently, Wayne also loved his oversized panda-colored sweater from last week because he wore it again for this video package.<\/p>\n<p>On an unrelated note, I enjoyed this video, and I enjoyed Wayne\u2019s promo skills. From an acting standpoint, this was the first time since he arrived in AEW that I have been flat-out impressed by Wayne\u2019s acting. Admittedly, I was initially skeptical about Nick Wayne\u2019s heel turn, but this video has convinced me he is the smarmiest of smarms and the pettiest of pets. In fact, of all the Persian cats to have ever learned to wrestle, he might be the best at being the worst (assuming Dominique Mysterio is not also a Persian cat.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>NICK WAYNE\u2019S MOTIVES \u2014 MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wayne needed a better reason to hate Darby Allin. People don\u2019t take extreme measures without extreme motivations, and \u201cYou weren\u2019t there for me\u201d feels more phoned in than a Little Ceasar\u2019s plastic-cheese-covered pizza.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, Nick Wayne already has a good reason just sitting there waiting for him to use it. Instead of saying, \u201cYou weren\u2019t there for me,\u201d Wayne should be saying, \u201cYou forgave A.R. Fox after he tried to Sharon Tate me in my own garage!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE IRON SAVAGES CUT A PROMO \u2014 MINOR-MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t get the Iron Savages. Maybe that is a \u201cme\u201d problem, and I\u2019m open to that idea, but for three ostensibly straight men, they spend a lot of time talking about eating ass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE ACCLAIMED &amp; DADDY ASS VS. THE IRON SAVAGES \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Given that 40 percent of Billy Gunn\u2019s entire career has been built around his fabulous ass, I would stay as far away from The Iron Savages as possible. On the other hand, watching Max Caster pretend to eat ass was the highlight of this match and the biggest advancement in gay rights since Max Caster thanked a fan for asking him to spit in his mouth on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TONI STORM STARS IN A VIDEO PACKAGE ALONGSIDE HER GUEST STAR R.J. CITY \u2014 MEGA-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Toni Storm is onto something so big it feels like it is transcending the show itself. Over the previous two weeks, her t-shirt was in the top five (and at one point, in the top three) on ShopAEW.com, and while it is no longer in the top five, it is still far-and-away AEW\u2019s highest-selling women\u2019s T-shirt RN.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: Whoever was in charge of editing this video should be given an award.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SHANE TAYLOR AND KEITH LEE\u2019S PROMO VIDEO \u2014 MEGA-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shane Taylor is one of the biggest surprises for me in 2023. He cut a top-of-the-line promo on the Sept. 16 episode of AEW Collision. (It was so good that I did a number-by-number breakdown of all the reasons why I liked it.) Since then, I have quickly bought into his new faction and his character as a whole. This totally blindsided me because he was not at all on my radar before Sept. 16, even though, in hindsight, he probably should have been because I enjoyed his match against Swerve &amp; Lee at ROH\u2019s Final Battle in December of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>While I am excited to see where this Keith Lee-Shane Taylor storyline goes, I think once it is finished, Shane Taylor should be put into a top-level feud with another \u201choss\u201d type wrestler like Miro or Wardlow, and both men should be given the time and space they need to tell a compelling story. I want to see if I\u2019m loving these promos because Taylor and Lee have a chemistry that just happens to bring out the best in each other or if I\u2019m loving these promos because Taylor could be a future AEW World Heavyweight Champion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TONI STORM\u2019S ENTRANCE \u2014 MEGA-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From the emulsion-scratched film at the beginning to Toni Storm fainting mid-ring, this could not have been more perfect if Glenn Close were playing the role herself. (Which she once did, and you can see a pro-shot of the show\u2019s final scene <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SNVu2j8ndvw&amp;ab\">HERE<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cTIMELESS\u201d TONI STORM VS. KIERA HOGAN \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The match started with Kiera Hogan rejecting Toni Storm\u2019s contract offer, and Storm shouted her newest catchphrase, \u201cHow dare you!\u201d in Hogan\u2019s face. Before the commercial break, Storm looked into the camera and said, \u201cWe\u2019ll be right back, folks. Stay tuned!\u201d Then, right at the end of the match, Storm struck her \u201cMr. DeMille, I\u2019m ready for my close-up\u201d pose and pinned Hogan.<\/p>\n<p>Toni Storm has put so much effort into this. Her makeup, while not directly matching the makeup used at the end of the film, matched the makeup used at the end of the original West End production of &#8220;Sunset Boulevard,&#8221; and her mannerisms are so on point that I wonder if she doesn\u2019t have a collection of silent films stashed away in her dressing room. I mean, locker room.<\/p>\n<p>Storm has done more than simply mimic the Norma Desmond character from &#8220;Sunset Boulevard&#8221;; she has included aspects of several \u201ctimeless\u201d films, from 1981\u2019s \u201cMommy Dearest\u201d to 1927\u2019s \u201cMetropolis,\u201d and because she has fully bought into this character, the fans are buying into, too. The crowd even chanted \u201cToni\u201d during the match.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: In 1950, &#8220;Sunset Boulevard&#8221; was so controversial within the film industry that it led to fistfights at the studio. After the film\u2019s premiere screening, Mae Murray made snide remarks; Mary Pickford hid from the public, saying she was too overcome with emotion to show herself; Barbara Stanwyck knelt to kiss the hem of Gloria Swanson\u2019s dress, and Louis B. Mayer (the second \u201cM\u201d in MGM) accosted the film\u2019s Austrian-born director, Billy Wilder, shouting, \u201cYou befouled our own nest! You should be kicked out of this country, tarred, and feathered. G\u2014d\u2014n foreigner! Son of a b\u2014!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The biographical book \u201cLion of Hollywood\u201d claimed that Mayer\u2019s response also included a disgusting remark about the holocaust (in which Wilder\u2019s mother, grandmother, and stepfather tragically died). Despite this, Nancy Olson (who would later receive an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her work in the film) recounted that Wilder\u2019s only response was to tell Mayer, \u201cGo f\u2014 yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, I know what you\u2019re probably thinking. You\u2019re probably thinking, \u201cIsn\u2019t this column supposed to be about professional wrestling? Why are we so off track? How bad is this man\u2019s ADHD? Was all of that random information necessary?\u201d I assure you, it was.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOHO CUTS A BACKSTAGE PROMO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ruby Soho is the most underrated member of AEW\u2019s women\u2019s roster, and I hope that will change soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KINGSTON VS. KOMANDER \u2014 MINOR-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed this. It was an interesting mix of styles, and Kingston really made the most of it. I gave it a \u201cminor-hit\u201d instead of a \u201chit\u201d because I wish Kommander\u2019s character was better defined. He is very entertaining to watch, but how much do casual viewers really know about him? It would have been nice if he\u2019d at least have been included in the show\u2019s cold open somehow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADAM COPELAND\u2019S SHOW CLOSING SEGMENT: THE BEGINNING \u2014 MINOR-MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I loved the artist formerly known as Edge (Precipice? Can we call him Precipice?) paying homage to Jim Ross, but Precipice\u2019s mannerisms during this part of the segment felt like he was searching to find his comfort zone on the microphone. Perhaps Copeland would work better with a tighter script, or maybe he just needs a couple of weeks to get used to AEW\u2019s looser style?<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: I like that Adam Copeland explained why he wanted to return to AEW, but I wish he\u2019d explained why he was backstage during WrestleDream to begin with. Wade Keller suggested Copeland should claim he was backstage visiting friends or hoping to negotiate a potential return, and during that time, he just happened to oversee what was going on in the ring and couldn\u2019t stand by while Christian ended Sting\u2019s career. I like Keller\u2019s suggestion and endorse it. It is simple; it makes sense, and I think they should run with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADAM COPELAND CALLS OUT CHRISTIAN \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was the point in Copeland\u2019s promo where Precipice really hit his stride, and I liked all of it except for how much he turned his back to the camera. (I really thought he\u2019d know not to do that?)<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: During this promo, Adam Copeland called Nick Wayne a Persian cat, and now I can\u2019t unsee it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CHRISTIAN CAGE RESPONDS \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the camera crew that follows AEW\u2019s wrestlers around all the time (going to the bathroom must suck) in case they ever want to randomly respond to someone in the ring, Christian cut his promo on the big screen instead of on stage, which was a good heel move.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: The most interesting part of this entire segment was seeing Christian Cage look like more of a polished star than Adam Copeland. It was a jaw-dropping sight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LUCHASARUS &amp; NICK \u201cPERSIAN CAT\u201d WAYNE STORM THE RING \u2014 MINOR-MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I liked these two coming out, but that was the slowest storming of a ring I have ever seen. Why didn\u2019t Precipice just leave?<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: Nick Wayne is still wearing that same panda-colored sweater.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DARBY ALLIN IS NOT DEAD \u2014 WOW<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How is Darby Allin still moving? Didn\u2019t he get thrown head-first off the ring apron and onto the \u201cstairs\u201d part of the steel stairs?<\/p>\n<p>Also, where\u2019s Sting?<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE ENDING \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was good to see the panda-colored Persian cat standing tall in the ring at the end of the show. With wrestlers like Jade Cargill and Brian Pillman Jr. headed to WWE, AEW needs its talented younger wrestlers to stand as tall as possible right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was a good episode of AEW Collision, and it was better than the dreadful (in my opinion) episode of AEW Dynamite we lived through on Wednesday, but it wasn\u2019t nearly as good as last week\u2019s Collision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SHOW GRADE:<\/strong> B-<\/p>\n<p>Thank you all for reading. I truly appreciate it. And as always, I\u2019m still working on my sign-off, but until next week, remember, sand dollars are skeletons, and that means Christmas ornaments made out of sand dollars should be used on Halloween trees.<\/p>\n<p><em>(David Bryant\u2019s new bathroom-selfies can be found on his \u201cArtist Formerly Known as Twitter\u201d account @IamDavidBryant; a video of David Bryant being knocked unconscious by an exploding television set can be found on his Instagram account @IamDavidBryant, and David Bryant\u2019s Threads account is threadbare and also located @IamDavidBryant because David Bryant sucks at usernames.
