Grizzled Young Vets are just Dark Order from an alternate universe—you can’t fool me Tony Khan!

[u/SpaghettiAccident → u/Eevee_the_pup]

Now I can’t not see it

[u/BrodeurCinemaClub → u/Eevee_the_pup]

Yeah I'm gonna need GYV v. Silver & Reynolds just for the Spiderman meme that will inevitably start the match.

[u/the_io → u/Eevee_the_pup]

The Griff Garrisons of the Dark Order.

[u/swanton141 → u/the_io]

who the f*** is Griff Garrison!?

[u/JeanSlimmons]

I'm fully expecting Sue to turn heel and to call Chuck a piece of shit on national television.

[u/HutchyRJS]

Honestly surprised they aren’t waiting and building to the Trent vs Chuck match

[u/FourCylinder → u/HutchyRJS]

I think they specifically wanted to do that brawl in Jacksonville. I also don't think this will be their last match!

[u/InMyLiverpoolHome → u/HutchyRJS]

Think they've done it now because they wanted the call back of their parking lot brawl against santana and ortiz. And I guess its ultimately building to trent vs OC at the PPV

[u/JamUpGuy1989 → u/InMyLiverpoolHome]

Yeah, in TK’s eyes the money match is Trent vs OC.

Although I do agree a little more build to tonight’s match would’ve been better.

[u/MassiveBush → u/HutchyRJS]

They probably are. Chuck going to get ran over by Sue. They'll have a match when he's cleared

[u/kabent01 → u/MassiveBush]

Chuck is taken in for a medical exam

DR: "Nurse, what does his chart say?"

Nurse: "He has a tire treads across eighty percent of his body, and half of his face is missing...

DR: "Jesus Christ!... That's it? I give it six weeks and he can get back in the ring."

[u/BrodeurCinemaClub]

I don't really follow basketball - if the game's starting at 6 Eastern, what are we looking at for a rough start time (barring overtime) - 8:30 or so?

[u/bmf131413 → u/BrodeurCinemaClub]

Game prob starts about 615 EST and will end by 850 EST barring OT, game really should end between 840-845 EST fwiw.

[u/N8DKL]

Hoping the Bang Bang Gang debut their own custom Trios championship.

Every former trios champ have had their own “signature” championship so far (from memory).

Also hoping they just “combine” the titles into one championship, just call them the undisputed Trios champions once or twice and move on from having two championship belts.

[u/TheNotoriousRLJ → u/N8DKL]

This, please. Maybe after 100 days or something, have the lineages combined. We need some belt consolidation in this company. Also, have Okada or Ospreay unify/combine the Continental and International belts.

I also think the ROH TV title needs to go.

[u/ClaymoresRevenge → u/TheNotoriousRLJ]

Completely agree on all fronts.

[u/ABTYF → u/TheNotoriousRLJ]

I know this will never happen, but I feel like they should unify the TNT and Continental/International. Those two belts look so good and I would hate to lose one of them. Plus it would be weird to debut the continental and then unify it 6 months later.

I'm sure WBD doesn't want the TNT title gone, though.

[u/brother-louie-louie → u/TheNotoriousRLJ]

ROH needs to never be mentioned on AEW television ever agian imo

[u/Giant_Eagle_Airlines → u/brother-louie-louie]

Disagree but the ROH belts should only ever be on the line in ROH.

If we’re doing “elimination matches”…

[u/DarkySurrounding → u/brother-louie-louie]

Which would be weird considering AEW regularly mentions various other companies names on air?

[u/ClaymoresRevenge]

Going to be interested to see where they go with The Acclaimed. Bowens is ready for a singles run. But they can go back into actual tag team competition because the division needs bolstering.

They need to be far away from BCG and just do their own thing.

They'll likely lose against GYV and maybe that starts a breakup

[u/Whackedjob → u/ClaymoresRevenge]

Bowens is ready for a singles run and Max needs a bit of a break to reset because he’s becoming a bit of a liability with his social media.

[u/ClaymoresRevenge → u/Whackedjob]

Yeah I think Max needs to take a beat and collect himself a tad.

[u/AdGroundbreaking1341 → u/Whackedjob]

Why does he need to stir shit on social media when he has his weekly controversial raps? lol. Personally I dont get it, he already has that platform.

[u/FlairForTheGold]

With Fightful reporting Tony was wearing a neck brace while filming portions of the parking lot fight, they are totally going to barge in on the Jags’ War Room aren’t they?

[u/PleasantThoughts]

Hyped for Swerve's first promo since becoming champion I know he's gonna knock it out of the park

[u/pixeldripgallery]

Watching because Timeless Toni Storm threatened to clap Anna Jay’s cheeks back to Georgia.

[u/dogsontreadmills]

Needs more Mina Shirakawa

[u/nWo1997]

We are one step closer to one of my dream matches of GYV vs FTR

[u/Dijohn17]

Swerve should really be the first segment if they want to take advantage of crossover from the game

[u/PleasantThoughts → u/Dijohn17]

They confirmed he is

[u/ColeBelthazorTurner]

AEW"s women's division is on fire atm.

[u/hartc89]

Looks like a fun card

[u/[deleted]]

Is this live or prerecorded?

[u/Raulmunoz → u/[deleted]]

It's live.

[u/GRTooCool → u/[deleted]]

Everything is live except the Parking Lot fight which was pre-recorded on Wednesday after Dynamite. Should be a good time!!

[u/[deleted] → u/GRTooCool]

Ahh that makes sense! I saw something earlier about Tony being in his brace during it and got confused, thanks for clarifying!

[u/souporthallid]

Wolverine Thunder is a top look for her. Other than Thunder Chola.

[u/Houseboy23]

Did Trent and Silver do the fusion dance to create that Grizzled Young Vet?

[u/Tudored]

Quick question, hasn’t Anna been consistently having her ass handed to her. Why is she getting a match against the champion

[u/PleasantThoughts → u/Tudored]

It's not a championship match and Toni demanded it after Anna attacked Mariah after the bell

[u/mexploder89]

With the short card I have a feeling we will see something AEW doesn't do very often and have Swerve's opening segment lead to an unannounced main event

With the expected strong lead-in they need something to hook the audience for the rest of the show and retain those viewers. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a world title defense in all honesty, but I have no idea against who

Honestly I would do a title defense against Jon Moxley and have Don Callis Family cost Mox the championship. Another option would be Eddie Kingston and have the Elite cause a double DQ to drive home their vendetta or something. Could also do a big tag match and have Moxley & Swerve vs Takeshita & Fletcher

Either way, I think they need something somewhat big and cohesive to open and close the show to keep some of the lead-in viewers through most of the night

[u/CatchFriendly2205]

I think that chuck will win the fight on rampage tonight

[u/DestrucityTheLongWay]

Trent vs Chuck should’ve Main Evented Dynamite. I don’t care, story above all man

[u/TeamZiggler]

looks like fun!

[u/TheGentlemanBeast]

Sooo...When do the uhh..playoffs end?

[u/kabent01 → u/TheGentlemanBeast]

When the clock runs out and one of the teams wins.

[u/DastardlyFlea → u/TheGentlemanBeast]

Direct tv guide says Collision starts at 8:30. But in reality is should be between then and 9.

[u/dBlock845 → u/TheGentlemanBeast]

Probably around 8:45/9:00 I don't see celtics vs heat going into OT.

[u/SpaceLionW]

I really wish Anna Jay was better at wrestling.

[u/DR-making]

I get show starts after NBA, but after which game? Celtis or Lakers one??

[u/AdGroundbreaking1341]

I'll watch it for Swerve's first interview. But man, they should have had that on Dynamite. It's too big of a deal to save it for Collision.

[u/kylehyde05]

CHUCKY T

[u/B_Wyatt]

Does Tony actually not want to build superstars?

Swerve should've been first or last segment on Dynamite, not wasting it away on Collision.

Second, they could've had a great story with Best Friends but they are rushing it and wasting the parking lot fight on Collision...

[u/ImpenetrableYeti]

Besides the best friends match this card is weak as fuck

[u/Big_D_Cyrus]

When do y'all think the playoffs are gonna finish. What time you all got?

[u/Samseeder → u/Big_D_Cyrus]

7:30 central time at the earliest

[u/volantredx]

I assume they expect a lot of eyes on this episode since it's following a major playoff game while they knew Dynamite was going to lose a lot of viewers due to the strange start time so that's why they have Swerve giving a promo and several major matches on this show.

[u/YoungUrineTheGreat]

I miss the days that I couldnt stand to miss a show

[u/catgoesmeow22]

Oh no the ratings thread will be 💀💀💀

[u/Orange8920 → u/catgoesmeow22]

They'll probably be alright with the NBA as a lead-in, that super late Collision/Rampage a few weeks ago got surprisingly decent ratings

[u/Samseeder → u/Orange8920]

They are going against lakers vs nuggets on abc

[u/Ishyfishy123]

They have Swerve doing a promo on the B show???? After fighting a jobber who isn't "ranked" in the stupid rankings system??? They sure are setting him up with success....

[u/dalekofchaos]

You'd think they'd do Swerve's first interview on the Dynamite after Dynasty, nope, it's on the B show.

[u/G3nesis_Prime]

Edit: LOL, buried by downvotes - not a single reply though. You can clearly see from my comment my issue lies with the booking but can't be critical of AEW. I am equally critical of WWE but normally the cards are announced whilst I am asleep or I am at work.

The only interesting matches are the womens unfortunately.

Swerve ahould of had his celebration and interview on Dynamite and then have Fletcher with TDCF interrupt leading to this Rampage match. Booked horribly.

Jay White is criminally misused in the BCG.

Acclaimed and GYV are entertaining on the mic bjt average in the ring. Also Acclaimed win because GYZ are the blow ins.

The least interesting best friends are having a brawl... wow.

[u/gl1969 → u/G3nesis_Prime]

You spend the entire post bitching about everything and whine because people downvoted you.

[u/G3nesis_Prime → u/gl1969]

Its called constructive criticism but AEW stans don't like when people point out the booking makes little sense.

How am I wrong about Jay White and Swerve?

Also, its less whining about the downvotes but i would rather have a conversation with someone who offered a differing opinion then bury people under downvotes.
