“What kind of man carries around a championship he didn’t win” Christian Cage continues to be the funniest man in wrestling

[@wcchains9782]

This is why edge is better cuz he just refuses to wrestle because he likes to insult the people and the town of course like any other heel ever does even though he can wrestle when he's over 40 he can still wrestle I consider him a coward and he's a fraud and he's not even the champion he just likes to be champion so he can quote" get one last run before he retires

Trouble is he's too big for a chicken sh1t run away heel and not big enough for a monster. If he can be booked as more of a tweener, only cheating if he really has to and 'mild cheating' now and then they really could have something. Ricky isn't world champ talent, at least at the moment, but a long TNT champ run will be good for him

"YOU DESERVE IT!" "ᴺᵒ ⁿᵒᵗ ʳᵉᵃˡˡʸ"

[@AnnaBananaGrug]

Collision is a vibe and on another stratosphere in terms of quality and pro wrestling. Love it! Love how well the vets and youngins are meshing. Can’t wait to see it grow further

[@yhprum413]

It's refreshing to see some variation to AEW already with the starting of the Collison Programming. TK does get a lot of heat for bad bookings & stuff from myself included, but thanks to Tony, we have some alternative wrestling in the mainstream television genre that Jim Cornette loses his mind over on a weekly basis. I love it.

[@rossmcdonald4865]

It's because Tony has also got people from ROH involved. Love him or hate him, cm punk. And he's listening to there ideas. They know how to put on a good show

[@ROMANTIKILLER2]

Dynamite can be very entertaining but is a rather chaotic show and sometimes its segments are hit or miss. But Collision so far has been a very solid show, I really like its style.

[@jayburnham3994]

​@@ROMANTIKILLER2collision makes the chaos better on dynamite. I can say ok now give me all the flips and 360 piledrivers you want because on Saturday ill get something different.

[@LetsGoGaming1980]

Ricky comes off alot like a certain people's champion breaking out too, there definitely going to be comparisons made, but that's a good thing, Ricky making waves

[@CapitalPSY]

Couldn't breath laughing at that pyro and the "You deserve it chants". I like that after winning the Owen he's incorporating Owen's exaggerated celebrating (i.e. when Owen would run laps after getting out of a collar and elbow or showing off his Slammies)

[@romeoalpha68]

Ricky Starks reminds of a young Rock when he was coming up . Yet he's just a bit different enough to make him that much more compelling.

[@DJRossNoir]

A lot of people bringing that Rock vibe HARD the last year.

[@blytheskrieg]

I like how they stopped coming in without their entrance music. It makes the thing look much more spontaneous

[@KairosObj]

Agreed. Should be done more often.

[@mohammedalhassan7197]

Why are they booing CM Punk? I don't get it!!

[@TerrellV2]

Collision is the AEW A show imo at the moment!
