WORLDS COLLIDE THOUGHTS:
MY PICKS: El Hijo Del Vikingo, Ethan Page, Stephanie Vaquer & Lola Vice, The LWO, & Psycho Clown, Pagano, & El Hijo De Dr. Wagner Jr.
Cool opening video narrated by Rey Mysterio. I never heard the Mexican Anthem, but it was beautifully sung. Lilian Garcia with another incredible rendition of the American National Anthem. It's cool that Konnan & Corey Graves will be calling the show.
Lince Dorado & The LWO VS AeroStar, Mr. Iguana, & Octagon Jr. was a fantastic match. I love Mr. Iguana. He reminds me of Santino Marella & the Cobra. I hope we see more of them in WWE. MY WORLDS COLLIDE PICKS: 0 for 1.
Wow, Dominik Mysterio with a promo & then a brawl with Octagon Jr. Mysterio wants Octagon at MITB for the IC Title. Damn, now I have to do more records, but at least we get a 5th match at MITB. They got Chuey from Evolve doing interviews. He sucks. Good promo by Legado Del Fantasma.
Stephanie Vaquer & Lola Vice VS Dalys & Chik Tormenta was really good. I hope Vaquer will be OK for MITB. I hope someone checks on Booker T after both Vaquer & Vice did a Double Devil's Kiss. MY WORLDS COLLIDE PICKS: 1 for 2.
Funny interview with Chad Gable.
BTW, I like that they have AAA Legends in the crowd as well as WWE stars like IYO SKY & Tiffany Stratton earlier & The Street Profits, as well Chavo Guerrero. Corey Graves knows his history and I like Konnan giving us these history lessons.
Psycho Clown, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. & Pagano VS Legado Del Fantasma was another tremendous match. MY WORLDS COLLIDE PICKS: 1 for 3.
Cool look at the original Worlds Collide event.
Good promo with El Hijo Del Vikingo though I have no idea what he said.
Awesome seeing Damian Priest & Savio Vega as well as Blue Demon Jr.
I don't like to curse on social media, but Je'Von Evans VS Rey Fenix VS Laredo Kid VS Ethan Page was a f***ing awesome match. BTW, the fans who were chanting for tables shouldn't be allowed to watch wrestling ever again. MY WORLDS COLLIDE PICKS: 2 for 4. It's always cool to see Fluffy.
El Hijo Del Vikingo VS Chad Gable has to be my favorite match of 2025. What a match. Thankfully, Gable is done for the night as he doesn't have a MITB Match later. MY Worlds Collide PICKS: 3 for 5.
WORLDS COLLIDE MATCH RANKINGS:
1) El Hijo Del Vikingo VS Chad Gable
2) Je'Von Evans VS Rey Fenix VS Laredo Kid VS Ethan Page
3) Lince Dorado & The LWO VS Mr. Iguana, Octagon Jr, & Aero Star
4) Psycho Clown, El Hijo De Dr. Wagner Jr, & Pagano VS Legado Del Fantasma
5) Stephanie Vaquer & Lola Vice VS Dalys & Chik Tormenta
Worlds Collide was incredible from top to bottom, one of the best wrestling cards that I have ever watched. I think they should cancel MITB because there is no way they can top that.
