However, it had a much more upscale feel, similar to an Impact taping. My main concern with the audio quality during the first AEW Collision show at this arena was addressed.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>THE ATMOSPHERE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With back-to-back shows on Friday and Saturday, I wanted to see what the fans&#8217; attendance and energy would be like. The fans were lined up at the door by 5:00 PM and ready for the show. I wouldn&#8217;t have thought adding 100 people would make a difference regarding noise, but it did. I received messages from friends and colleagues saying this was one of the better AEW crowds all year.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>MATCH RESULTS &amp; ANALYSIS<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>(1) ORANGE CASSIDY vs. JOHNNY TV (w\/Taya Valkyrie)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Orange Cassidy in 10:31<\/p>\n<p><em>(Brian&#8217;s Thoughts: This was a fun match to open the show. The crowd popped big for Willow Nightingale, making the save for Cassidy during the post-match.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) BLACKPOOL COMBAT CLUB (Claudio Castagnoli &amp; Wheeler Yuta) vs. BRIAN CAGE &amp; LEE MORIARTY (w\/Shane Taylor) vs. TOP FLIGHT (Dante Martin &amp; Darius Martin) (W\/Action Andretti)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Blackpool Combat Club in 10:36<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-371371769\" 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><em>(Brian&#8217;s Thoughts: Great action throughout from all three teams. Hopefully, with Wheeler no longer the ROH Pure champion, this frees up the BCC to be more of a constant in the tag team division.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) HOLOGRAM vs. THE BEAST MORTOS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Hologram in 12:06<\/p>\n<p><em>(Brian&#8217;s Thoughts: What an impressive delay of Lucha Libre. I am glad to see Hologram&#8217;s shaky debut, which may have just been a one-off performance. The chemistry between Hologram and Mortos was great, and I hope AEW will run this one back.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) THUNDER ROSA vs. MAYA WORLD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Thunder Rosa in 3:30<\/p>\n<p><em>(Brian&#8217;s Thoughts: A straightforward rebound win for Rosa.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) THE CONGLOMERATION (Kyle O&#8217;Reilly, Mark Briscoe &amp; Tomohiro Ishii) vs. THE PREMIER ATHLETES (Ariya Daivari, Josh Woods &amp; Tony Nese) (W\/Mark Sterling<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1238231556\" 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>WINNERS: The Conglomeration in 10:20<\/p>\n<p><em>(Brian&#8217;s Thoughts: A very good party match. It&#8217;s impossible to ignore the fact that Mark Briscoe&#8217;s pre-match promo featuring his infant son was fantastic.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(6) LANCE ARCHER vs. GKM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Lance Archer in 0:56<\/p>\n<p><em>(Brian&#8217;s Thoughts: This was a straightforward squash match for Archer to build towards his singles match this coming Wednesday against Will Ospreay.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(7) FTR (Cash Wheeler &amp; Dax Harwood) vs. MXM COLLECTION (Mansoor &amp; Mason Madden)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: FTR in 12:20<\/p>\n<p><em>(Brian&#8217;s Thoughts: This is an excellent debut for AEW from the MxM Collection. They are the needed flavor or ingredient to a team tag division that lacks in-depth personality. You couldn&#8217;t tell by watching Dax Harwood, but I wouldn&#8217;t have known he was dealing with a bad back injury. Dax and Cash gave a lot to put over MxM in their debut and still showed that they should be a serious threat to the Young Bucks.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(8) PAC vs. LIO RUSH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Pac in 13:30<\/p>\n<p><em>(Brian&#8217;s Thoughts: This match benefited greatly from the crowd. I think the crowd cheered so much for Pac, even he was thrown off at times. Additionally, this was a distinct strategy from the usual AEW main event. AEW is attempting to bring back Pac&#8217;s main event popularity from its 2019 debut.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> This was beyond an overdeliver for a card that wasn&#8217;t announced until the night before. The fans were on fire from start to finish, and 95% stayed for the next hour to watch Battle of the Belts.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THE LATEST EPISODE OF &#8220;THE AEW CONVERSATION CLUB,&#8221;
