Welcome back to another edition of my AEW Collision Hits &amp; Misses column \u2014 the best place to find the worst takes! Tonight\u2019s episode of AEW Collision needs to deliver with the surgical precision of a ballet at the Palais Garnier, and not because it involves ballet dancers or surgery, but because we are one week away from Forbidden Door, the most deceptively-named PPV event since Taboo Tuesday, Barely Legal, Hardcore Heaven, Uncensored, and two years of weekly PPVs by a company named TNA.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Forbidden Door (which I assume was named for Pride Month), I have seen a distinct lack of new Pride t-shirts being advertised this year. As a gay wrestling fan and proud owner of a fast-fading \u201cJungleHook\u201d Pride t-shirt, I was hoping for a Christian Cage \u201cWho\u2019s Your Daddy?\u201d t-shirt, but maybe next year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAMOA JOE &amp; SHIBATA &amp; HOOK VS. THE PREMIER ATHLETES \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Samoa \u201cThe Learning Mountain\u201d Joe, Hook, and Shibata (the funniest man to ever frown with both his face and his belly button at the same time) came out first, followed by the Premier Athletes, who looked like they were about two episodes away from being canceled by a chokehold.<\/p>\n<p>This match was fun to watch, and everyone in it played their roles well except for that one spot where Nese got dumped on his head by Hook, and the announce team had to pretend he didn\u2019t almost die because that would make him sympathetic.<\/p>\n<p>Joe and Hook are a joy to watch each week, and the Premier Athletes\u2019 humor-laced shtick contrasts well with Joe and Hook\u2019s barbed wire-laced sticks. As a result, I\u2019m putting this match in the \u201cHit\u201d column of tonight\u2019s column despite Nese\u2019s near-death experience.<br \/>\nSide Note: Tony Nese\u2019s arm is so colossal that it bulges out like a mountain even when it is being stretched out as straight as an arrow in Shibata\u2019s armbar!<\/p>\n<p><strong>JUICE ROBINSON &amp; THE GUNN CLUB CUT A PROMO \u2014 MINOR-HIT<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1095586930\" 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>Juice Robinson\u2019s facial Tourette tics made it look like his muscles were trying to escape his skin, but other than that, his delivery was as good as the United States Postal Service, and I\u2019ll let our readers decide whether or not that is a compliment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CHRIS \u201cTHE LEARNING TREE\u201d JERICHO &amp; COMPANY VS. PRIVATE PARTY \u2014 MEGA-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the first time in a while, Chris Jericho is one of my many reasons to tune into AEW each week. Jericho, Christian, and Tony Storm are some of the most enjoyably outlandish characters mainstream wrestling has spawned since the 1990s, and I hope they continue schmucking it up every single week until Chris Jericho announces he\u2019s replacing Le Champione\u2019s Champagne with a new brand called Beer Gut, and Christian announces they\u2019re both co-authoring the non-awaited sequel to Bill Cosby\u2019s Fatherhood but creepier.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: TBH, I feel so alone in loving this gimmick right now. Every time I open the door to the soul-sucking black hole that is the internet, it seems like everyone else \u2014 from published analysts to random tweeters \u2014 absolutely hates Chris Jericho\u2019s \u201cLearning Tree\u201d gimmick, and I feel like I\u2019m going insane. How can anyone hate something this cringe? This is quality cringe! You could not buy better cringe at a Comic Con booth that sells racy pictures of comic book characters to full-grown adults.<\/p>\n<p>Second Side Note: While I don\u2019t normally like \u201cnon-finishes,\u201d I liked the ending to this match, and I would enjoy a wrestling world where Chris Jericho\u2019s teammates keep cheating for him, but he thinks he is winning each of his matches legitimately and brags about it.<\/p>\n<p>Third Side Note: Big \u201cThe Redwood Tree\u201d Bill\u2019s trunks had the perfect slogan for this year\u2019s Pride t-shirt if anyone in the t-shirt department is reading this.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth Side Note: Can we just call him Redwood now and pretend the whole \u201cBig Bill\u201d thing never happened?<\/p>\n<p>Fifth Side Note: I realize I have a side-notes problem. I\u2019m working on it.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-977562376\" 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><strong>TEAM LEARNING TREE VS. TEAM LEARNING MOUNTAIN \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After Chris Jericho\u2019s match, Hook and Samoa Joe wave back to him with their fists.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAMOA JOE CUTS A PROMO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The greatest gift Samoa Joe could ever give Hook is gab.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OKADA VS. ULTIMO GUERRERO \u2014 MINOR-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ultimo Guerrero (no relation to the renowned fashion icon Vickie Guerrero) is one heck of an ultimate warrior (no relation to the renowned homophobe.), but his talents weren\u2019t enough to defeat the renowned (no parentheticals needed) Okada.<\/p>\n<p>While I genuinely thought this match was more than decent, it wasn\u2019t as good as Team Jericho vs. Team P.P. I am still surprised by how fun that match was. I\u2019m not sure it was fun for all of the right reasons, but it was definitely entertaining. I\u2019m also surprised by how middle-of-the-road Guerrero vs. Okada was. It wasn\u2019t a bad match by any means, but here\u2019s a thought exercise: When you first heard AEW signed Okada, is this what you had in mind?<\/p>\n<p><strong>DANTE MARTIN CUTS A SURPRISINGLY NOT-AWFUL PROMO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On a night that saw a plethora of promos that were better than they had any right to be, this one was one of the most surprising. (I\u2019ll get to Jeff Jarrett later.) For most of his career, Dante Martin has confused cutting promos with butchering them, but tonight, he shut up his critics except for me because, rather than butchering the English language, I tend to slowly drag it out behind a car over long-winded stretches of mind-numbing road. (Seriously, the columns you are currently reading are the heavily abridged versions of my columns. If you don\u2019t believe me, go back and read my old Dark Elevation columns where I managed to turn 40-minute YouTube shows into twenty-five-page filibusters.)<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: Whoever is convincing Dante Martin he needs to look heavier to look manly should be prosecuted for crimes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LIO RUSH JOINS DANTE MARTIN\u2019S NOT-AWFUL PROMO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On a night that saw a plethora of promos that were better than they had any right to be, this one was unsurprising because Lio Rush does words goods, and by good, I mean \u201cmasterfully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A CHRISTIAN CAGE-ORIENTED RECAP VIDEO \u2014 MEGA-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I talked about this a few columns back, but whoever is doing AEW\u2019s recent video packages deserves everything their heart could possibly desire, including a personal coffee machine in their office and not Tony Khan\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IRON SAVAGES SCREAM A PROMO AT ME \u2014 MINOR-MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From the people who brought us unwanted promos about \u201ceating ass\u201d comes an all-new promo about Timothee Chalamet and \u201ctitty city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE PATRIARCHY VS. THE IRON SAVAGES \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Iron Savages may not be the best babyfaces in the business, but The Patriarchy are the best foils since aluminum, and together, these two teams turned what could have been a dreadful match into a wonderful spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>This match started with the greatest ramp walker of all time (Christian Cage), featured The Iron Savages drinking what looked like tobacco juice out of what I\u2019m assuming was Tommy Dreamer\u2019s sippy cup, and ended with Christian Cage getting a rightful pinfall he fought hard to obtain.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: Nick Wayne was fantastic here. I cannot overstate how good he is at pretending to be a smarmy dick, and I\u2019d love to see him featured more often. Honestly, I wouldn\u2019t mind it if he changed his name to Twinky McFace-Pubes, started wrestling in a sweater vest, greased his hair back with \u201cMean Street\u201d branded pomade, and handed random girls in the audience his phone number. At this point, and as far as I\u2019m concerned, Nick Wayne can do whatever he wants as long as he remains this naturally hatable forever.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: Is seeing \u201cYard Sale\u201d Chalamet getting motorboated by a bear supposed to replace our t-shirt this year? If so, I want a refund.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TONI STORM &amp; MARIAH MAY VS. LEYLA HIRSCH &amp; LADY FROST \u2014 MEGA-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Between Dynamite\u2019s Nyla Rose sighting and Leyla Hirsch showing up tonight, I\u2019m half expecting a Pride t-shirt that says, \u201cHappy Pride Month! Here\u2019s All Of Our Many Queer Wrestlers Losing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That said, Hirsch lost well, and this match\u2019s story added another chapter to the gripping saga that is the Toni\/Mariah\/Mina love triangle. I \u201cpopped\u201d big-time in my living room at the sight of Toni Storm sacrificing herself for Mariah May, and I am pretty sure my fianc\u00e9 is now ashamed of me because of it, but God, I love women\u2019s wrestling! I especially love good women\u2019s wrestling, and it is so nice to see AEW\u2019s Women\u2019s Division finally getting some of that magic WWE\u2019s Women\u2019s Division has had for years now.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: Props to Luther for his excellent contributions to this match\u2019s post-match imagery. It was almost enough to make me forgive him for how abusively he once treated poor, sweet Serpentico. (Almost.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>SERENA DEEB CUTS A PROMO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was another surprisingly good promo (and just you wait until we get to Jeff Jarrett\u2019s because that one is going to be a doozy), but it shouldn\u2019t be THAT surprising that it was good.<\/p>\n<p>Serena Deeb \u201cgets\u201d the art of the promo and despite constantly losing, she is almost always able to convince me that she is on the cusp of winning big time \u201cthis time.\u201d Deeb\u2019s promos are like the \u201cCharlie Brown football gag\u201d of promos, except the role of Lucy is being played by Tony Khan.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: Before moving on to the next segment, I wanted to drop one of my favorite lines from this promo: \u201cBaby, I\u2019m on the up! And from here, I\u2019m going to remind everybody, and I\u2019m going to remind myself just who the hell I am. I am the professor of professional wrestling.\u201d (Soooo good. She is so good at this stuff.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>BLACK &amp; KING VS. ALREADY IN THE RING \u2013 IN-THE-MIDDLE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this match, Malakia Black and Brody King absolutely destroyed their opponents, who were named LSG, MSG, and their invisible tag team partner SOL.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOUSE OF BLACK ANSWERS A HUMAN QUESTION \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The two things I liked most about this promo were hearing Malakia Black describe Ian Riccaboni\u2019s pleasant face as punchable and hearing Brody King respond to a \u201chuman question\u201d with a haiku.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HE\u2026 \u201cTHE SABINO TREE\u201d \u2026CHICERO VS. DADDY MAGIC \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was a solid match featuring solid wrestling and Daddy Magic wearing skims while serving plumber\u2019s crack (for Pride Month? No?) Seriously, though. I love Daddy Magic, but please never wear low-rise jeans in public again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JEFF JARRETT CUTS ONE OF THE BEST PROMOS OF HIS CAREER \u2013 MEGA-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re not going to believe this, but a Jeff Jarrett promo was one of this show\u2019s biggest and brightest highlights, and I\u2019m not saying that ironically.<\/p>\n<p>There are not that many active wrestlers who can talk with authority about what it was like to work with Owen Hart, but Jeff Jarrett is definitely one of them. This promo felt real, visceral, and like I was watching someone read excerpts from their diary. If we got more of this Jeff Jarrett, he would need less (or none) of his hit-or-miss comedic shenanigans to get over. People would love him all of the time, and it would be deserved.<\/p>\n<p>Moments like this remind me that Jarrett has a cornucopia of talent at his disposal, and nobody undercuts that talent as much as him.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: Because of this promo, I hope to see a different side of Jeff Jarrett in the Owen Hart Tournament. I hope to see someone who is determined, serious, capable, and uses far fewer hijinks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WILL OSPREAY VS. BRIAN CAGE \u2014 MEGA-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was outstanding, and this is the reason Brian Cage should win more meaningful matches. If Cage had won more meaningful matches in the past, I could have better suspended my disbelief during this match\u2019s tantalizing near falls. Both wrestlers worked hard to make this match feel like it mattered inside of the ring, but one of AEW\u2019s writers\u2019 biggest flaws is failing to make matches feel like they matter OUTSIDE of the ring, too.<\/p>\n<p>That said\u2026 OMG, this was good! This match\u2019s \u201cThis is awesome\u201d chant was well deserved, and this was very likely the best match Brian Cage has ever wrestled inside an AEW ring. While that sentence might imply that Will Ospreay carried Cage to a great match, that would be an inaccurate description of what happened. Cage proved he did not need to be carried here or anywhere. All he needed was the time and the chance to show AEW\u2019s audience what he is capable of.<\/p>\n<p>From the moment Cage came out dressed in a cape that looked like what would happen if the Tiger King was in the MCU to the moment Ospreay ripped off an elbow pad made of the exact same style of holographic lame as Cage\u2019s costume (which was in no way distracting to anyone but me), this match never lagged, snagged, or met a single bump in the road. We got a top-rope-spring-board-powerslam, a defiant Cage screaming, \u201cWho\u2019s better than The Machine!\u201d (The AI version of Kanyon\u2019s old slogan?), and an endless supply of cardio from both Ospreay and Cage as they jumped between strong-man wrestling, chain wrestling, and high-flying wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>Having watched every AEW show this week, this match was by far the best match on any of them, and I am lucky to have covered it. If you haven\u2019t seen it already, I highly recommend you check out this match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AEW\u2019s undeniable strength is its in-ring action, and its undeniable weakness is its storytelling. While in-ring wrestling matters and makes for compelling television, good storytelling is what makes for a great show. Wrestling without storytelling is like going to a ballet studio and watching ballet dancers slowly destroy their bodies while executing beautifully performed dance moves to zero music. Despite how often J.R. used to tell us, \u201cWrestling ain\u2019t ballet,\u201d wrestling is actually a lot like ballet. Both sports are dangerous, challenging, require incredible athletic ability, incredible disregard for fear, and memorable stories to make them meaningful.<\/p>\n<p>A wrestling match with no story behind it is no better than a ballet with no music. That doesn\u2019t mean the matches can\u2019t impress and wow their audiences! Seriously, go watch Will Ospreay vs. Brian Cage! You won\u2019t care about that match before it starts, but you won\u2019t be able to stop yourself from caring about it by the time it ends. However, once it ends, you\u2019ll eventually forget about it because there was nothing leading up to it, and there will be nothing that follows it.<\/p>\n<p>Think about that. Will Ospreay vs. Brian Cage put on a match few wrestlers would ever be capable of performing, and in three months\u2019 time, we will barely remember it. Meanwhile, Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant wrestled a dreadful match at WrestleMania III, but it made for a glorious memory that will never be forgotten because that match was performed to music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SHOW GRADE:<\/strong> A-<\/p>\n<p><strong>DAVID\u2019S DODGY MATCH RECOMMENDATIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Match of the Night: Will Ospreay vs. Brian Cage<\/li>\n<li>Second Best Match: Chris Jericho &amp; Redwood vs. Private Party<\/li>\n<li>Third Best Match: Tony Storm &amp; Mariah May vs. Leyla Hirsch &amp; Lady Frost<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thank you all for reading.
