August Strachan!* If you don\u2019t remember me, I\u2019m that blonde Australian twink who showed up on Mr. Keller\u2019s Dynamite post-show a couple of weeks ago. David has been indisposed** this week, so to take some pressure off him,*** I have once again picked up the pen and will be giving you my takes and opinions on this week&#8217;s episode of AEW Collision. I apologize in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Now, without further ado****, let&#8217;s begin.<\/p>\n<p>*And David will be making random comments that I\u2019m sure August will appreciate and not hold against me in any way.<br \/>\n**Indisposed\u2026 What am I? Queen Victoria?<br \/>\n***August is great at that.<br \/>\n****But I live for ado!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>COLD OPEN \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okada, man what is going on with you?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure what character he\u2019s going for here, but this didn\u2019t feel at all like the corporate-bad-attitude-bitch-machine we\u2019re unfortunately used to. Still, I\u2019m very open to giving this a chance because previously, I asked Okada to find a personality that was \u201cmore than the continental championship and the word bitch,\u201d so hopefully this means we are about to see more character development and soon.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1024091782\" 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>Besides Oakada, this cold open was great! Collision\u2019s cold opens are always a delight to see, and they help to separate AEW Collision from AEW\u2019s Dynamite brand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PRESENCE OF WOMEN IN THE INTRO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every week, AEW\u2019s Collision intro video has undergone slight differentiations, and this week\u2019s intro seemed to have a surplus of female athletes\u2026 unlike previous weeks. Let\u2019s keep this up \u2014 if for no other reason than because I\u2019m pretty sure women\u2019s wrestling is at least 50 percent of the reason my fianc\u00e9 watches professional wrestling to begin with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FTR vs. THE UNDISPUTED KINGDOM \u2014 MASSIVE-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m pretty sure FTR is the other 50 percent of why my fianc\u00e9 watches professional wrestling, so I always pay extra attention whenever they are on the screen, and to quote Ron Simmons, \u201cDamn!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>FTR, guys, come on, can you please not overshadow basically every other match of the night in terms of pure wrestling and in-ring storytelling?* This match was a long one, but it didn\u2019t feel long. Its length was counteracted by the fact that FTR can carry an infinite number of minutes to a breathtaking match.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and something I\u2019ve noticed: AEW has a nasty habit of, whenever a single member of a group is scheduled for a one-on-one match, they throw the remaining members in a tag or a trio&#8217;s match. Then, that tag or trios match almost always functions as a way to offset the loss of whichever faction is losing their solo match later on in the night. I had already doubted Adam Cole would take the TNT Title**, but after seeing Cole\u2019s Undisputed Kingdom allies get a win over FTR (which was very upsetting for me), I realized there was absolutely no hope of Cole pulling out a victory.<\/p>\n<p>*Storytelling is the third 50 percent of the reason why I watch wrestling!<br \/>\n**Speak for yourself! I thought he had at least a 50 percent chance of winning, and as you can tell from my previous statements, I\u2019m good at math.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4286677706\" 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>WILLOW RECAP \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I cannot tell if this is leading to a heel turn for Willow*, or if Willow is just really, really done with taking everyone else\u2019s shit**.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly? I don\u2019t know which version of her I would prefer. On the one hand, a heel-version of Willow who bashes light fixtures over the heads of her enemies and hands out con-chair-tos like party invitations while smiling like an innocent princess sounds fun. On the other hand, a face-version of Willow who is willing to do whatever has to be done, no matter how brutal, is not only fun but badass.***<\/p>\n<p>Either way, I think this version of Willow has a compelling story to tell, and AEW needs to capitalize on that. Also, please get her out of that pseudo-stable of \u201cThe Conglomeration\u201d that sounds like it was named by a lazy AI. (I keep thinking we have finally escaped the clutches of a world in which The Conglomeration exists, and then I hear their name mentioned and it triggers a fight or flight response).<\/p>\n<p>*No.<br \/>\n**Yes.<br \/>\n***On the third hand, these things are not mutually exclusive.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-show covering the latest episode of Dynamite: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/aew-dynamite-post-show-3-5-keller-lilly-lighter-fluid-scissors-and-death-threats-part-of-final-hype-for-aew-revolution--64725092\">CLICK HERE<\/a> (or search \u201cwade Keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=64725092&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>WHEELER YUTA VS. WILLIE MACK \u2014 MINOR-HIT*<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Willie \u201cDeserves an Intro\u201d Mack was already in the ring, so his defeat was preordained by the mystical hand of Khan.<\/p>\n<p>Something I don\u2019t understand: there are plenty of wrestlers signed under AEW**, many of them being lower card wrestlers without an inkling of credibility, but why shouldn\u2019t they have credibility that inks? If AEW would invest the time required to give these wrestlers so much as a single shred of credibility (via a ring entrance, perhaps?) it would make the people who beat them look stronger.<\/p>\n<p>*Do not hit minors; that\u2019s mean.<br \/>\n**Also over AEW, beside AEW, and behind AEW.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JON MOXLEY OFFERS UP YUTA ON A SILVER PLATTER \u2014 MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Moxley, let me get this straight. Cope* specifically told you, and then proceeded to prove to you, that he aims to separate you from every member of your stable so that you are left vulnerable and alone at Revolution. You, I assume, would prefer that this did not happen, and therefore, your solution was to&#8230; put your final supporter in the ring with Cope**?<\/p>\n<p>Interesting strategy.<\/p>\n<p>*Cliff.<br \/>\n**Cliff.<\/p>\n<p>(OMG. David, stop trying to make \u201cCliff\u201d happen. It\u2019s not going to happen!)<br \/>\n(Yes it is! Give it time.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>MERCEDES MONE vs. A CUP OF TEA \u2014 MINOR-MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hi. I\u2019m a trained actor, and I can authoritatively tell you that whatever Billie Starkz was doing in this segment was not that.<\/p>\n<p>Billie, I like you. You\u2019re talented. However, splashing tea in Mercede\u2019s face, smiling like a leprechaun two seconds after meeting Goldust, and then running away like a school girl trying to capture giggles in a butterfly net is not becoming of the talent you have worked hard to perfect.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Mercedes, you did absolutely have that coming for stomping on Puppet Mone, which AEW should sell replicas of.*<\/p>\n<p>*You do not need more wrestling merch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REVOLUTION VIDEO PACKAGE \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seeing AEW open their hype video for Revolution with Toni Storm vs. Mariah May was a wonderful surprise. Honestly, after Grand Slam Australia and given AEW\u2019s track record, I expected this storyline to be shunted off the field and\/or relegated to the island of misfit toys.* But, to my surprise and glee, here I am seeing Toni Storm and Mariah May at the forefront of AEW\u2019s promotional material!<\/p>\n<p>The rest of this package felt exciting and big* and was exceptionally well crafted.<\/p>\n<p>*ROH?<br \/>\n**You do like big packages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cTIMELESS\u201d TONI STORM PROMO \u2014 MASSIVE-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay, I hope none of you are expecting me to be normal about this, right? Good. Let\u2019s begin.<\/p>\n<p>No one does promos like Toni Storm, right now. No one. From the accent to the mannerisms to the courage and commitment, there is a reason the \u201cTimeless\u201d Toni Storm character is one of AEW\u2019s most beloved. To whoever is writing these promos, be it Storm herself, Tony Khan, or Sean Baker (he does everything else), you have every accolade I could give you. After Storm\u2019s victory at Grand Slam Australia, I wasn\u2019t sure if they could properly make a third installment in this story because her win felt so definitive, but any doubts I had were buried the moment I saw Mariah May\u2019s reinvention.<br \/>\nYes, as a typical* and casual fan of Toni Storm, I can unequivocally say that these women have given us a storyline that has outshone every other match on Revolution\u2019s upcoming card. Storm and May are the main reasons I will be watching Revolution and are the perfect characterization of why I care about wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>One note: I wouldn\u2019t have had Storm slouch so much right at the opening of this promo. It wasn\u2019t flattering and it left her with a flyaway hair. Storm deserves to always be flattered and her hair should refrain from flying until the United States gets its aviation industry under control.<br \/>\n*but not atypical.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SWERVE STRICKLAND vs. CLARK CONNORS \u2014 MINOR-MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This match was great! We got to see superb wrestling from both Swerve Strickland and who is this guy again?<\/p>\n<p>David and I spent much of this match trying to figure out if this was Clark Connors\u2019 first match after being officially signed by AEW or if this was another edition of the extremely one-sided talent exchange deal AEW has with NJPW.<\/p>\n<p>The loss of Connors concluded that debate fairly quickly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE HURT SYNDICATE AND THE OUTRUNNERS \u2014 MASSIVE-MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hold on, I need to go find some quick dry cement to put in my ears and eyes. That is the only way I can find any aspect of The Outrunner\u2019s gimmick bearable. If this B-movie of a team puts up even a single moment of resistance at Revolution, I will be shocked and saddened.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HARLEY CAMERON ANNOUNCES THE NAME OF HER FINISHER \u2014 MINOR-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today we were blessed by the presence of Harley \u201cthe Great and Powerful!\u201d I am so glad to see she hasn\u2019t been banished to a shadow realm that I assume exists beneath the ring and is where Kamille is hiding.<\/p>\n<p>During this segment, Cameron randomly appeared at ringside, not to provide mere commentary, but to instead announce the name of her new finishing move.<\/p>\n<p>What magnificent pun has she come up with? The Wrathmare? Snap, Wrathle, Pop? The Grapes of Wrath?<\/p>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p>Her finishing move is named \u201cFinishing move.\u201d While this was a good joke in the moment, I fear that this decision might come back to bite her later on when she aims to be taken more seriously. We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JOHNNY TV DISRESPECTS\u2026 A COOKIE? \u2014 MINOR-MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Holy crap Johnny TV is alive, and his grand return saw him catapulted into the Revolution Zero Hour card due to slapping a cookie out of AJ\u2019s hand. Wow. Even I had to go back and read that a few times to believe it, and I wrote it! I fear there will be a significant uptick in lower-card wrestlers smacking sweets out of the hands of unsuspecting individuals and then looking at Tony Khan with the sad eyes of a longing dog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SHANE TAYLOR PROMOTIONS vs. THE JOB SQUAD* (NICK RUIZ &amp; VINNIE MASSARO &amp; DAVE DUTRA) \u2014 MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So\u2026 this is one of those instances where these guys get in the ring with those guys while that guy stands at ringside.<\/p>\n<p>Other than being generally antagonistic, what is STP** aiming for? What do they want?*** I thought it was the TNT championship, but they went after Adam Cole later on. So, other than being \u201cthat-faction-of-ROH-guys\u201d who beat up jobbers every now and then, I fail to see a reason for this team to exist. I\u2019m not saying there isn\u2019t a good reason for this team to exist, I\u2019m just asking to be shown that reason.<\/p>\n<p>*He\u2019s too young to know that this used to be the name of an actual thing.<br \/>\n**For a moment, I thought this read \u201cSTD.\u201d<br \/>\n***Head? (Actual \u201cJob Squad\u201d reference.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADAM COLE vs. DANIEL GARCIA FOR THE TNT CHAMPIONSHIP IN NOT THE MAIN EVENT \u2014 MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, there\u2019s been one* common complaint among people who enjoy discussing AEW online, and it\u2019s that the titles don\u2019t matter as much as they should. In moments like this, I\u2019m inclined to agree.<\/p>\n<p>Without question, the wrestling in this match was good, but how is the ONLY title shot on the show taking place at an off-peak moment that is nowhere near the main event. I sure hope they have a heck of a match planned to end this show because\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Wait. What?<\/p>\n<p>Tonight\u2019s main event will feature The Learning Tree WITHOUT Chris Jericho?<\/p>\n<p>Excuse me while I smash my head into a desk.<\/p>\n<p>*Just one?<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIG BOOM A.J. FINDS HIS TRIOS PARTNERS FOR REVOLUTION \u2014 MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oh, great. They\u2019re back.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I did need something loud enough to shatter the concrete that has now very much dried in my ears. Usually, whenever a wrestler is given the ultimatum of finding enough teammates to be able to compete, it should take a week at minimum, not half an hour. Who knew AEW\u2019s roster was at the beck and call of a child.<\/p>\n<p>Orange Cassidy and Mark Briscoe answered AJ\u2019s call, which means that with Chickens, Oranges, and Cookies this show is now halfway through the Food Pyramid. While Johnny TV and the MxM collection have some gimmicky synergy I\u2019m sure the Food Pyramid team will come out on top.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JULIA HART vs. QUEEN AMINATA \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always refreshing to see a women&#8217;s storyline that doesn\u2019t revolve around a title, not to mention one between a success story like Julia Hart and an up-and-coming powerhouse like Queen Aminata who is being shepherded by Serena Deeb.<\/p>\n<p>Also, side note: Does anyone else remember when Harley Cameron got hit in the eye with Hart\u2019s mist? What happened to that? Cameron put dark makeup around her eye for a single week and then the whole idea got taken out back and shot?<\/p>\n<p><strong>OKADA ATTACKS BRODY KING \u2014 MINOR HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay, here we go!<\/p>\n<p>This has made me realize the current issue with the Continental Championship \u2014 barely anyone seems to want it despite being held by a wrestler who has absolutely no one to back him up right now.*<\/p>\n<p>Every time this title has been defended, it feels like Tony Khan saw Okada walk past him in catering and thought, \u201cOh yeah, we have this title. Sh\u2014.\u201d<br \/>\nThis moment that has now led to a Brody vs. Okada match at Revolution is no different. Brody hasn\u2019t even asked for a shot or, now that I think about it, so much as demanded revenge for what Okada did to Buddy Matthews. They just kinda bumped into each other, Okada had a tantrum about the song \u201cBitch\u201d by Meredith Brooks, and now the title is on the line.<\/p>\n<p>*Unintentional commentary on AEW\u2019s clique mentality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KENNY OMEGA PROMO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This match at Revolution will be a defining moment for the golden years of Kenny Omega\u2019s career moving forward. This promo was the perfect encapsulation of how much this match means to Omega and how losing would be devastating. If Omega wins, he holds the belt that best represents him as a wrestler*, a worldwide name and sensation known to so many promotions**.<\/p>\n<p>If Omega loses, then Takeshita needs to run being one of the few people in the world to have beaten the Kenny Omega three times. If that is the outcome they choose, then they need to make Takeshita into far more than he is right now. This victory should be a victory that reimagines what Takeshita means both to the fans and to himself.<\/p>\n<p>*which was invented out of whole cloth two years ago.<br \/>\n**Omega; not the belt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cPOWERHOUSE\u201d HOBBS AND BANDIDO vs. THE LEARNING TREE \u2014 MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And now our main event!!!! A match we have had before, that has no stakes and doesn\u2019t even have the leader of the primary faction involved.* Don\u2019t forget, there was a title on the line earlier in this week\u2019s episode, and this is the main event that took its place at the top of tonight\u2019s marquee.<\/p>\n<p>This match felt like a redo even if it wasn\u2019t a redo. There was nothing to set it apart \u2014 no special rules**, no win condition, no reward, and no threat. For all intents and purposes***, this match had no reason to exist let alone main event. This match even regurgitated some of the same moments that we already saw in prior matches!<\/p>\n<p>For the life of me, I could not get behind this match, and that is sad because, as is the case with most things in AEW, the talents featured in this match were exceptionally gifted in their craft, but they were let down by the manner in which their craft was displayed.<\/p>\n<p>*More Chris Jericho is the one unifying thought that each and every AEW fan secretly holds captive in the wish closet in the back of their mind\u2019s eye.<br \/>\n**Because the one thing AEW needs more of is special rules.<br \/>\n***Thank God you didn\u2019t say \u201cintensive purposes\u201d because we would have had to break up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the overall, this episode of AEW Collision was on the lower end of the quality I expect from a company that typically presents a high-quality product, This week\u2019s episode had its share of standout moments \u2014 namely Toni Storm\u2019s promo \u2014 and there were certainly instances of brilliance, but so much of it didn\u2019t really seem to matter, and struggled to hold my attention.<\/p>\n<p>Overall Match Grade: C+<br \/>\nOverall Storylines Grade: C+<\/p>\n<p>SHOW GRADE: C+<\/p>\n<p><strong>AUGUST\u2019S DODGY MATCH RECOMMENDATIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Match of the Night: FTR vs. Undisputed Kingdom<\/li>\n<li>Second Best Match: Adam Cole vs. Daniel Garcia<\/li>\n<li>Third Best Match: Julia Hart vs. Queen Aminata<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And with that, we come to the end of my significantly less funny second attempt at writing one of these columns, thank you David for giving me another opportunity, and thank you all for taking the time to read my ramblings, hope to see you all again!<\/p>\n<p><em>(August Strachan is a trained ballet dancer, sometimes model, always actor, and the inventor of the world\u2019s first pre-melted ice cream with no additives, no sugar, and it\u2019s milk.
