[Bang Bang Bart]

SATURDAY NIGHT'S ALL RIGHT FOR FIGHTING... AND VOTING! It's time to see how AEW's second Prime Time two hour show does... it's time to RATE THE COLLISION, bud.

------ 2023

6/17: Most voted rating: 9 (31 votes) / (22 didn't watch)

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Going with a 9 - very fun live experience.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

9 for me.

Only mark against it is that it felt a little too similar to last week but this show had it all. Willow being willow, Christian Cage being my favorite piece of shit, super hot main event, it was great.

[kingoftheindies]

7. Some wonky moments and one what the hell was that with the last 5 minutes of Andrade vs Brody, but crowd seemed pretty into everything and it was an enjoyable show

[Billie Gein]

No idea what I voted last week but that felt like an 8 to me, another strong show and the main event was especially awesome. I like what they're doing with Andrade and Miro, Willow and Nyla had a fun match too.

[Fade]

8.5

I actually enjoyed this Collision.

- pre intro hype interviews are cool
- tonight’s episode had variety: promos, vignettes. It wasn’t just match, match match. And you had a wide array of matches as well.

Only thing I really didn’t like was the DQ in the andrade match. Ppl in the thread were right in that feeling very “wwe”, which..maybe they’re going for? Who knows. But it’s jarring in AEW.

Great crowd too ❤️❤️❤️

[Cyno]

Great show tonight. Loved the Swerve vs Tanahashi match, Willow vs Nyla, and the main event. Getting to see Naito make his first AEW appearance was really fun, too. And of course, Christian being a piece of shit. Miro completing his transformation into a MegaTen protagonist. Didn't like the Andrade vs Brody match as much as last week's match against Buddy, but I'm curious to see where this is going. Who's Andrade going to find for backup?

Gonna go with a 9.

[Milkman Norm]

8. Another very enjoyable show.

[DrBackflipsHoffman]

9, good to great matches, minimal bullshit, loved the main event and the heat, Punk hip swiveling and doing Hogan spots to wind people up was fun, fully enthralled by the women's match

[firsttimelongtime]

I was there live. Probably a 7. The main event was fantastic. Tremendous heat!

I haven’t gotten to watch yet (I’m currently in an airport waiting to fly out and eventually get a connecting flight to Toronto for the show Sunday), but I would’ve thought Andrade would bring out Naito as his tranquilo amigo.

Not that I’m complaining, can’t wait for the crowd pop when Naito’s music hits tomorrow.

[Cyno]

Also in a nice detail brought up by a fan on Twitter (and confirmed by Swerve himself), the robes he wore to the ring tonight were a tribute to Jimmy Rave when he was in the Embassy.

Didn’t watch, don’t plan to.

If you're that averse to being exposed to CM Punk, he doesn't appear until the main event and even then, you can enjoy the Toronto crowd loudly hating on him. It's a pretty quality hour and a half or so of wrestling until then.

The CM Punk boycotts just seem crazy to me, if I dont like a wrestler, I don't watch their segment or their match, unless Punk is all over the show, which he's not, the boycotts just don't click with me.

Collision is fun, CM Punk hasn't really anchored it down either. It's an entire show where he happens to have a segment or a match, it's not "The CM Punk Show" and it's more than proven that two episodes in, he didn't even WIN tonight.

Show was a solid 9, hyped for Forbidden Door and had some fun results I didn't expect.

If people don't want to watch Punk stuff, that's their own call though. No point in pushing it if they don't want to watch.

My thing was boycotting the entire show because it featured Punk, of course it's their call, I just don't understand it as someone who watches wrestling programs and simply skips, mutes, or turns the channel when someone I don't like it on in some odd segments

But I'm not them so I'm not trying to say "Just do this", they're free to think how they want, but I do not see this as being a very CM Punk dominated show since the promo, and tonight the other team went over so he's also not here to dominate at all times it seems

I get hating CM Punk it's pretty justified, I just think Collision deserves some attention, because there's plenty going on that isn't CM Punk now, and that will likely only continue. There's a chance he's not even booked in a match next week.

[uewfigfed]

Hopefully this response isn’t just my home country’s usual antics, cuz THIS. IS. MONEY!!! Cena-Punk will only help the company as long as they book intelligently.

[chronocross]

8/10, really enjoyed the show.

It feels important enough to watch and hopefully this keeps up each week.

I liked Swerve vs. Tanahashi, and also noticed that the coat Swerve was wearing was the same coat that Nana gave to Jimmy Rave back in the old ROH days.

[JasonVoorhees1988]

I honestly feel like I'm watching a different show than most of you guys.

A 4. And that's being generous.

Idk. But something about AEW isn't clicking for me lately. And I'm not sure what. I'm still gonna watch Forbidden Door, but I might check out on the live shows after that for awhile.
