Let’s hear (or read) what you thought about tonight’s show from Philadelphia.
Andrew from Cape Breton
It’s weird that one thing I loved about older AEW was structure, and that seems to be coming back again. I like that there keeps being throughlines with Dynamite and Collision while also using Collision to build up new stars. This past year, I feel the Don Callis Family was lost and seemed directionless. Now, I think Don Callis is perfect with Kyle Fletcther. I was disappointed he wasn’t with Kyle this week as well. Kyle feels like this up and coming mega star and Don seems like the lynchpin to his success. I do feel bad for Mark Davis. I think that Kyle should dispose of him. He feels like Marty Jannetty, Rick Steiner or Angelo Dawkins if Montez wants to make a move in his career.
I also really liked Action Andretti tonight. He does need a name change as he sounds kinda goofy with a name like that, but he had a great promo and I like that the undercard guys aren’t just cowering in fear. Yes, they will always get crushed, but they’re not scared of the threat, despite how dangerous the Bastard Combat Club are. Overall, Collision was great and if AEW keeps it up, I think they will start getting ratings and success back, slowly but surely.
Solid show, I’m all for the direction their going with Moxley and Crew, Tony even said Death Riders, which I feel it’s time to call them that and move on from the BCC name.
My issue though with the whole thing is that you have too many heel stables, Death Riders, Hurt Syndicate, The Cage Family, Don Callis Family, LFI, if they’re all trying to take over, then eventually they have to cross paths. If none of them ever do, then the whole thing comes off silly.
I’m willing to see this through and am curious what babyfaces end up showing out in the end, which that’s all this story should be about building up a babyface to slay the dragon that is Moxley. I don’t think OC is going to be it as it’s too soon, my money is on Darby but well into 2025.
Anyways love listening to y’all, as I work 7 days and then have 7 days off, so I don’t get to respond every week but hopefully I’ll reply in two weeks take care.
