>>10612572It's because they wanna give everyone ringtime so as not to upset the shitters.
Everyone's gotta get his fucking shit in.
I skipped so much of Collision that I forgot to watch the main event, but from the sound of it I didn't miss anything except for the 50/50 Punk crowd dominating everything, because it was a fucking 8-man rag tag team match featuring at least 2 shitters.
Although it was funny to hear the crowd shout J J J and it sounded like KKK.
At the start, they had Schiavone get threatened by Jericho and when the sound guy gets his queue and the Sting music plays, Schiavone plays it straight and just calmly says "it's Sting!" as if Jericho didn't just slam a bat up his throat. Destroyed all the tension, and with the tension gone, the whole segment was way too fucking slow.
They had to have their chickfrontation too.
10 minutes I skipped. Why did they get 10 minutes? Just because it's a tournament doesn't mean it needs 10 minutes.
If Willow Shiteingale is winning and Brandon is supposed to put her over, might as well squash him.
That gives the 8-man tag an opportunity to be a 6 man, or a 4 man. 2-minute squash makes way for 2 4-minute matches.
Tanahashi seems great. Why's he punching like he's afraid to upset the girl he's hitting? I thought this is a strong styler. Had too much time too.
The Andrade match I kinda saw but it was a repeat of last week with a much slower guy who can't work.
The Christian promo was great but he's doing the old "I did it all myself" heel angle and Puke-a-saur isn't reacting to that whatsoever. At what point will he?
Ultimately it boils down to Tony Khan thinking that if you give these people with weaknesses enough time, they'll get over.
All that does is expose their weaknesses and expose their lack of talent.
Collision is just another AEW show. Dynamite 2.0 - Electric Botcharoo.
