Welcome back to another edition of my AEW Collision Hits &amp; Misses column \u2014 the best place to find the worst takes!<\/p>\n<p>We are less than 24 Hours away from AEW\u2019s Revolution PPV (or more removed, depending on when you\u2019re reading this column), and I can\u2019t wait for Toni Storm vs. Mariah May. There are also other matches on the card, I assume.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, I can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n<p>Just kidding. I can wait. I mean, I\u2019d prefer not to, but I can. I won\u2019t die.<\/p>\n<p>That is unless you take into account the truth that we are actually all dying every second that we are alive because life is a timer that only stops once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cTHE OPPS\u201d HOOK &amp; SAMOA JOE &amp; SHIBATA vs. STARBOY CHARLIE &amp; JACK BANNING &amp; TITUS ALEXANDER \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I spent this entire match hoping Hook would use his \u201cRedrum\u201d finisher to tap out Starboy Charlie so that I could use the phrase \u201cHot Twink Taps,\u201d but sadly, that is not what happened.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4043536273\" 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><strong>CLIFF CUTS A PROMO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Live from the basement of an Acme Factory, Cliff was able to pull off this promo with the skills and expertise I\u2019ve come to expect from a world-title contender. In fact, despite anxiously watching with bated breath and fearing for the worst, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself witnessing one of the best promos Cliff has ever cut in AEW. If there was ever a time we needed a solid promo from Cliff, tonight was it.<\/p>\n<p>That said, watching a world title contender cut a pre-match promo should not feel like watching a bear ride a unicycle. It should feel like an easy ride, free of pubic hair-related speed bumps and age-related potholes.<\/p>\n<p>Side Note: Cliff spent a portion of this promo reminding us that his upcoming match at Revolution would be the first time he and Moxley faced each other one-on-one. To me, that is the biggest selling point of this match, and I wish AEW had spent more time working that angle into its marketing of the PPV.<\/p>\n<p>Second Side Note: Please don\u2019t have Moxley lose the title this Sunday. While I am looking forward to this match, I am not looking forward to Moxley losing to Copeland, and I fear that is where this is headed. I hope I am wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Beating Moxley is one of the most prestigious things a person in AEW can do, and I hope the person who finally takes Moxley\u2019s title is someone who needs the rub. Names like Will Ospreay, Kyle Fletcher, Jack Perry (Is he alive?), Swerve Strickland, Orange Cassidy, and even Darby Allin are just a few who come to mind. The name Copeland does not come to mind.<\/p>\n<p>Copeland does not need the rub of a world title win; he is literally already a Hall of Famer. If AEW wants Copeland to be a part of their title\u2019s lineage, I understand that desire, and I am not against it, but in my opinion, it would be wiser to have him take the AEW Championship from another wrestler at another point in time when AEW\u2019s ratings are stronger and their future talents are better positioned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SERENA DEEB vs. MOMO WATANABE AS SEEN THROUGH THE SUNGLASSES OF MERCEDES MONE \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2929926716\" 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>I was here for this match from the moment I saw an ad for it on the front cover of AEW\u2019s Triller page, and it did not disappoint. This match was one of the highlights of tonight\u2019s episode, and it received the show\u2019s first \u201cThis is awesome!\u201d chant.<\/p>\n<p>Deeb is a hidden gem of AEW that should be less hidden and more showcased. I would particularly enjoy seeing a Serena Deeb vs. Harley Cameron feud at some point down the line, in which Deeb takes exception to the frivolity of Cameron\u2019s outstanding character presentation. I feel like Deeb and Cameron\u2019s styles would mesh well, and I know Deeb has the experience to get as great of a match out of Cameron as Mercedes Mone did at Grand Slam.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Mercedes Mone\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Wearing sunglasses borrowed from Art the Clown and a smile borrowed from a sly fox in a luxury hen house built by the Swarovski family, Mercedes Mone stole this segment. Her character-accurate commentary was on point, humorous, and subtly sold the seriousness with which she took Watanabe.<\/p>\n<p>During the match, Mone assured us of many things, including that she would never lose the TBS Championship and that Watanabe would never be allowed to kick her in the head like she had just done to Deeb. However, Mone\u2019s acting was nuanced enough to show us that her assurances were every bit as insecure as the four Trump signs that are still on my neighbor\u2019s lawn five months after the election ended.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OSPREAY CUTS A PROMO WHILE BEING TENDED TO BY AN AEW DOCTOR \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am very confused about what AEW\u2019s doctors think doctors do\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Ospreay opened his promo by talking about badges and the various Boy Scouts who have earned them over the years. He listed several people who I am sure were once a part of the Undisputed Kingdom and several people who might have been, but who knows? He just\u2026 kept listing names. A lot of names. Names like Jeff Cobb, TJ Perkins, Callum Newman, Bob Newhart, Great-O-Khan, Huckleberry Finn, Gideon Grey, Dorian Grey\u2026 To be honest, I stopped paying attention once I realized the United Empire\u2019s locker room has more named characters than the Broadway musical \u201cCats,\u201d but that doesn\u2019t mean this was a bad promo.<\/p>\n<p>Despite discovering that the United Empire is the size of a taxable municipality, I also learned all of the Empire\u2019s citizens are somehow close friends and that Will Ospreay loves Kyle Fletcher. In fact, he REALLY loves Kyle Fletcher. He loves him as more than a brother. Kyle Fletcher is, \u201c\u2026a man that I love. I love you more than anything in this world. I would have done anything for you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Halfway through Ospreay\u2019s proclamation of his unrequited love for Kyle Fletcher, I almost forgot I was watching a promo and thought I was watching the world\u2019s most violent Valentine (Something I imagine Alex Windsor is surprised to hear about.)<\/p>\n<p>However, all jokes aside, this violent Valentine cut straight to the heart of the Ospreay\/Fletcher feud, and the only way this promo could have been better delivered was if it had happened in the ring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HARLEY CAMERON vs. TATEVIK HUNANYAN \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wearing the sexiest Barbenheimer outfit I have ever seen, Harley Cameron took on a person whose last name has so many vowels that Arkady Aura stopped halfway through announcing her and proceeded to walk out of the ring in awkward silence.<\/p>\n<p>While this match was short, it was also a lot of fun, and Cameron milked every drop of it that she could possibly milk. That is not to say that Hunanyan (which may or may not be a lyric in a future Lady Gaga song.) didn\u2019t pull her own weight. She definitely did, and I hope to see her back in AEW as one-half of an intergender tag team with Mark Eydelshteyn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KYLE FLETCHER CUTS A PROMO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only thing better than dropping people on their heads,\u201d Feltcher said, \u201cIs doing it while looking like a million bucks.\u201d (He needs to have a talk with \u201chis guy\u201d because that price ain\u2019t the right price.)<\/p>\n<p>Fletcher also talked about his future, Ospreay standing in his way, and \u201cprophecies.\u201d By the end of this promo, I was starting to think, \u201cMaybe Fletcher should actually beat Ospreay this weekend?\u201d \u201cMaybe AEW\u2019s Revolution PPV could be his big defining moment?\u201d I also started to think about how remarkable it is that Kyle Fletcher used to go by the name InstaGraham and looked <a href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/5\/59\/Kyle_Fletcher_April_2019_%28cropped%29.jpg\">like this<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SHANE TAYLOR PROMOTIONS PRESENTS THE INFANTRY vs. THE UNDISPUTED KINGDOM \u2014 MINOR-MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This wasn\u2019t a bad match, but it felt like filler. Shane Taylor is a great talker, and because of that, I don\u2019t know why we aren\u2019t seeing him talk more often. Maybe then, he could go into further detail about the dreams, passions, and motivations of The Infantry because doing so certainly wouldn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n<p>During this match, Kyle O\u2019Reilly began bleeding from a small spot on his forehead, and Roderick Strong started to bleed from his shin. I kept waiting for the referee\u2019s black latex gloves to make a run-in, but they never did. Perhaps they were recently released by AEW to hire more tarps, or perhaps they\u2019re saving their entire reservoir of gloves for the Mariah May vs. Toni Storm match at Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>And the Ospreay vs. Fletcher match at Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>And just in case Jon Moxley sneezes backstage at Revolution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CALLIS AND TAKESHITA CUT A PRE-TAPED PROMO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don Callis forgot his scar lipstick, but he was otherwise on fire for this one. One of the best lines of this segment was Callis briefly pretending his heart was only one size too small and stating, \u201cKenny Omega, God bless him; don\u2019t wish any ill health on him\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>JON MOXLEY CUTS A SALAD \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Moxley used this promo to lament that he and Copeland were the last of a dying breed of people who worked in an extraordinarily oppressive and exploitative system that drove many wrestlers into an early grave \u2014 as if that were a thing to pine for.<\/p>\n<p>This promo is exactly the kind of promo Moxley should have been doing since the start of the Death Riders. What hurt the Death Riders wasn\u2019t the group\u2019s members or the word salad promos; it was the \u201cbigness\u201d of it all. They didn\u2019t feel big. They talked like a faction that touched every aspect of AEW\u2019s programming, but in reality, they didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>The Death Rider\u2019s antics were refined to the lanes of their own storylines, and that is where this potentially brilliant \u201cold guard vs. new guard\u201d plot went astray. If Moxley retrains at AEW Revolution, I hope Tony Khan takes the guardrails off of The Death Riders and allows this faction\u2019s verbal threats to become a reality that no wrestler, regardless of their relevance to the Death Riders, is safe from.<\/p>\n<p>That ever-present sense of terrifying awe is what made similar factions like \u201cThe Outsiders\u201d work in the past; those factions felt bigger than the shows they were on. It is a shame that the producers in charge of the Death Riders\u2019 storyline were not able to grasp this concept, or if they were able to grasp it, then it is a shame that they were unable to hold onto it tightly enough.<\/p>\n<p>The last time we saw Darby Allin on PPV, he said something to the effect of, \u201cWhat is wrong with all of you? You\u2019re just standing around! They said they are coming to destroy AEW and everyone here!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Had Allin\u2019s proclamations been proven to be correct, this faction would now be viewed in a very different light. I wish Darby Allin had been right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOLOGRAM vs. DRALISTICO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fresh off of his day job at Ripley\u2019s Blacklight Mini-Golf, Hologram fought Dralistico in what I assume was meant to be AEW\u2019s second-ever \u201cArcade Anarchy\u201d match \u2014 complete with an all-new build-your-own-wrestler feature.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, The Beast Mortos ran in and attempted to rip off Hologram\u2019s mask in an angle so original, it was literally replicated less than 24 hours later at Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>My challenge to Tony Khan still stands: If you manage to use these two characters to tell a story that is as compelling and complex as the Storm\/May storyline, I will gladly admit that I was wrong about Hologram and The Beast Mortos being interchangeable acts that are difficult \u201cget into\u201d due to a lack of a single crumb of relatability.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, this attack from The Beast Mortos was the start of something spectacular (Outside of the ring, that is. Inside of the ring, these guys are very entertaining and talented. In fact, their in-ring talents are the reason I rated this match and segment a \u201cHit\u201d)<\/p>\n<p><strong>FTR, THE UNDISPUTED KINGDOM, AND DANIEL GARCIA CUT A PROMO \u2014 MINOR-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every time I see FTR, I think about how bad The Outrunners are because FTR are the perfect example of how a modern tag team should pay tribute to \u201cold school\u201d wrestling in a way that doesn\u2019t feel subliminally riddled with presentist views.<\/p>\n<p>The reason I gave this promo a \u201cminor-hit\u201d instead of an out-and-out \u201chit\u201d is because I was disappointed that Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler didn\u2019t have a better explanation for not having shaken the Undisputed Kingdom\u2019s hands last week. I spent a lot of this week \u201cspeculating\u201d about where that angle might be headed, and alas, it was brushed off as if it were nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Daniel Garcia\u2019s ring gear has me craving McDonald&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE AGONY ASSOCIATION&#x2122; CUT A PROMO \u2014 HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Flanked by two of the world\u2019s most intimidating Secret Service agents, MVP cut a fantastic promo that would have left me hyped for Revolution if their match wasn\u2019t against a team that literally looks like what would happen if Hulk Hogan ran out of vitamins and prayers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ARI DAVARI AND TONY NESE ARE DISGRACED BY HAVING TO LOSE A MATCH TO THE OUTRUNNERS \u2014 WORDS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Outrunners, a team that literally looks like what would happen if Hulk Hogan lost a fight to a washing machine set to \u201cpermanent press,\u201d beat an underutilized team with a manager who gets involved so often in their matches that his interferences have become meaningless.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of &#8220;Wrestling Night in America,&#8221; part of the PWTorch Dailycast line-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/wrestling-night-in-america-aew-revolution-post-show-leclair-parks-discuss-moxley-copeland-ospreay-fletcher-storm-mariah-more--64784783\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cpwtorch\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=64784783&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\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>TONI STORM GETS ATTACKED ON THE RED CARPET \u2014 MEGA-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Andy Kaufman would be proud.

More glitter next time. Everything is better with glitter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JOHNNY TV, MXM COLLECTION, ORANGE CASSIDY, TAYA VALKYRIE, AND FOR SOME REASON, MARK BRISCOE CUT A PROMO \u2014 MINOR-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While I can\u2019t stand the thought of \u201cBig Boom\u201d being added to AEW\u2019s card at Revolution, Taya Valkyrie\u2019s stage presence and impressive figure (Have any of ya\u2019ll noticed the great shape she is in now?) distracted me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DANIEL GARCIA vs. LEE MORIARTY \u2014 MEGA-HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This match stole the show, and the other matches are filing a police report.<\/p>\n<p>In all seriousness, both of these men are the kinds of people Jon Moxley should be losing his title to. I have nothing against Adam Copeland, but the last time he stole a show, the building was made of lead paint, asbestos, and failed safety inspections. I am not trying to take anything away from Copeland. I am a fan. I\u2019m just trying to point out that time is cruel to everyone, and while Cope (Can someone please make a Rope-A-Cope joke?) can still \u201cgo\u201d this weekend, there will soon come a time when he will have to go forever.<\/p>\n<p>So, before that time comes, let\u2019s build up the stars of tomorrow today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before I wrapped up my thoughts on this event, I just wanted to point out how much I loved tonight\u2019s venue. The proscenium was striking, the audience was well shot (Thank God this column is far, far removed from Aurora, Colorado.), and its atmosphere felt both intimate and professional at the same time. Please, AEW, I am begging you, find more venues like this one. There are so many more venues like this one out there, and showcasing them is a great way to turn lemons into lemon bars made by grandmothers whose houses smell like bakeries.<\/p>\n<p>Would we rather not have to deal with lemons? Sure, but we do, and it is better to embrace those lemons than to ignore them \u2014 just ask the 9 Grammy nominations Beyonce got for \u201cLemonade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for this show, it was a good \u201cgo-home\u201d show with good in-ring action. Therefore, if I were to grade it on a 7-point grading scale, I would give it a 94 for match quality and an 86 for storytelling. Those two numbers average out to a 90 which is at the bottom-most range of a B+.<\/p>\n<p>Overall Match Grade: A-<br \/>\nOverall Storylines Grade: B<\/p>\n<p>SHOW GRADE: B+<\/p>\n<p><strong>DAVID\u2019S DODGY MATCH RECOMMENDATIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Match of the Night: Daniel Garcia vs. Lee Moriarty<\/li>\n<li>Second Best Match: Hologram vs. Dralistico<\/li>\n<li>Third Best Match: Serena Deeb vs. Momo Watanabe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thank you all for reading.
