I'll share some more, but I want to see moments from others that you loved the 1st year of AEW Collision.
There were a ton of moments and memories on this show.

Luchasaurus winning the TNT title on the first episode sticks out
the round robin tournament going on Collision and Dynamite made both shows feel like equal importance -- and I like that
before Punk got himself fired I liked where The Real World's Champion thing was going
from the Punk and friends era, I loved how each week there was at least 1 really long and really good match

Ricky Steamboat announcing Danielson as Stark's opponent is the first thing that comes to mind.

I just remember FTR being involved in NUMEROUS and long multi man main events.
The Iron Savages and Shane Taylor Promotions getting some TV time
Adam Copeland as the TNT title champion and numerous Cope Open matches

MJF vs. Kenny Omega. A top 5 AEW match for me. BCG vs. FTR. Crazy good. Better Than You Bay Bay vs. FTR Christian "winning" the TNT title on the first episode. Danielson vs. Claudio in the Continental Classic Thunder Rosa's return entrance The Cope Open
Just to name a few
EDIT: and of course, Swerve vs. Claudio. Just an absolute gem of a match.

BCG vs FTR is an all timer and comes to mind first

Kevin Kelly getting removed from commentary was the ultimate highlight for me

BCG vs FTR is an all timer and comes to mind first One year later, this might be my all time favorite FTR match.

Ricky Starks-C.M. Punk feud, specially with Starks dropping the Stevie Wonder line.

Bunch that have already been listed: FTR vs. BCG, the Punk/Starks feud, the beginning of Christian's GOAT TNT Title reign, MJF vs. Kenny...
I think the Blue League of the Continental Classic made the tournament must-see. You had so many great stories: Brody King beating two established names in Kingston and Claudio back-to-back, Garcia losing his first four matches, before finally beating Brody to play spoiler, Eddie's whole run and the story of him putting his two belts on the line, Danielson having the match of the night five weeks straight, the Eddie/Claudio rematch, the Danielson/Garcia rematch, and plenty that I'm probably forgetting. Like, the Gold League on Dynamite was great, too, but the matches on Collision just did more for me. I can't wait for the 2024 edition!
EDIT: I almost forgot, the Willow and Statlander/Mercedes and Diamante street fight! Actually, the women's division in general benefitted from the addition of Collision. We consistently see way more talent in a week than we did prior to the show. Julia really came into her own on Collision and rode that train all the way to the TBS Title. Willow, Skye, Julia and Kris became damn stars thanks to Collision. And Queen Aminata and Lady Frost have been gotten a lot of shine too, which I love to see.

BCG vs FTR is an all timer and comes to mind first One year later, this might be my all time favorite FTR match. same here, i'd have to revisit the NXT stuff just to make sure but that was definitely a 5/5.

-The first two Collision had really killer multi man tags that I liked a lot (Joe & Bang Bang Gang vs CMFTR then full Bang Bang Gang vs CMFTStarks) -The Punk/Starks and Punk/Joe feuds I thought added a lot to the early development of the show -Statlander/Britt Baker was probably Britt's best match since the Rosa match -Willow and Ricky winning the Owen -Christian's heel running playing out heavily and his matches with Danielson and Darby -Danielson in general, particularly his selected dream matches (Shibata, Hechicero, Nagata, Akiyama) -Nigel's obsession with shitting on Danielson -The Ricky promo after winning the Owen where he got 1 minute straight of pyro
and most importantly
-Way, way less Chris Jericho than Dynamite

Omega vs MJF Darby vs Christian The Continental Classic Matches, Brody losing to Garcia was a huge one FTR vs Bullet Club Gold and MJF/Cole, the recent Tag Match draw with Claudio/Yuta ruled too Lady Frost's matches
