Only really watched on a whim but I definitely dug that more than Dynamite and I already had a mostly high opinion of that show. Will give it a 9.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

9 that is closer to a 10, that shit was fun

[chronocross]

9/10, great episode of Collision that flew by quickly.

I'd love to see Starks and Bryan continue the feud after Wrestledream but we'll see what happens.

[Some Guy]

9 and subtracting a point entirely because of the Righteous promo

[kingoftheindies]

Gave it a 9. Really feels like all AEW shows are starting to find a groove

7/10

I wasn't that keen on the main event (I hate that stipulation though, so that might be why), the tag match had its legs cut out just as it was getting good, and White vs Andrade went too long for my tastes (Collision always seems to have a match every week that is long for the sake of being long)

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Strong 9 - awesome show. One of the best weeks for AEW in terms of TV quality.

[Chiral]

Best Collision yet. BEST TNT CHAMP IS HERE.

Collision could be having the wrestling glow up of the year in the aftermath of being the Punk show.

9/10:

I kind of want Julia to win the TBS Title now honestly. Everything is just clicking with her right now.

[Cyno]

8/10. Great show all around. Would've been a 9 otherwise but *points to Kevin Kelly*.

[daaave]

Possibly the best Collision yet? Only other one I can think of was the Owen finals/FTR & BCG tag episode

[HMARK Center]

Went 10, just clicked for me the whole way through.

-Opener told a great story and ended in a way that left you wanting to see what happens next. The countdown to Luchasaurus chokeslamming Christian back to the Mesozoic Era might be on.
-I've never been a huge RVD fan (just didn't get to watch enough ECW in his prime), but the crowd was thrilled to see him and that's awesome. Nuclear crowd all night, which made things even better.
-Was happy to see Kiera get TV time with Willow not being available, she's been so improved lately and hopefully keeps getting more shots. Good match (Julia's work is looking stronger, too), even if the purpose was mostly to build to Julia's title shot.
-FTR/Workhorsemen was exactly what it needed to be: a total sprint of a fight, really helped establish that the Workhorsemen are legit, but wasn't too long and thus left you wanting more whenever Henry and Drake get the chance to climb the standings a bit more, which is hopefully very soon.
-Andrade/White also served that purpose for me; you can argue it went a little long, but it still worked as a sort of Act I if they want to revisit it later. Did a good job of having both guys presented as equals, and played up their strategic games, while still functioning as a sort of high level "basic TV match".
-Main event was absolutely insane, don't know how else to put it. They clearly want to get Ricky back to being babyface, and this short feud with Danielson has allowed that because the two just killed it.
-Promos were solid, lots of set up for things to come, killer lineup at WrestleDream announced.
-Even commentary felt stronger; Kelly is getting better at being back in live TV, but Nigel was just nailing it last night.

Can't ask for that every single week, I suppose, but I got the two kinds of weekly shows that are the most fun for me this week: Wednesday was close to PPV quality supercard level for weekly TV, but last night was more a show with a good deal of variety where everything was functional and fit in its place, so you might've gotten some stuff that was shorter than others but it all felt like it meshed. Great stuff.

I absolutely loved that Collision from start to finish.

Crowd were hot, some great matches and great video packages.

AEW more and more is feeling like it's getting its groove back so to speak. Up and down the card are acts that are getting over.

Great show imo, sence Punk left, the show has gotten much better

[Mid-Carder]

I've been sick and didn't have the energy to watch this but sounds like I'll have to make time to watch it soon.

[Celgress]

9 out of 10 an excellent show, IMHO,
