Ian's pronunciation of EL IDOLO is an affront.
Collision head commentators are 0-2 versus the pronunciation of Andrade's name.
I love the character Jay has to his in ring work.
Definitely. And I love how chatty he is in the ring lol
Im used to the uncensored version of them in NJPW. Coming over though, they still deliver entertainingly. Juice screaming RICKY! will always ring in my head.
Willow's theme is the opposite of funeral music.
Kinda reminds me of Rich Swann's theme.
Yeah that's a great call. And that reminds me I have to watch Slammiversary later lol.
Oh no, the feed!
Glad it wasn't just me.
This match is CRAZY. Sorry for who has to follow it but I feel drained.
Looks like they're giving us some promos to let us recharge.
Starting with A should be BANGER!
Lets go Bullet Club Gold!
Ding DING! Let's go!
This OC run is such a treat for weekly viewers. The injuries he's accumulated, how he's compensated, and been opportunistic and finally his body may just be giving out.
Agreed. It's going to be interesting to see who takes the belt from him, too. I'm hoping it's Jay White.
Get comfy gang. This one's easily going 30-40 mins.
Did I say 30-40? I meant 60-70.
Jay is a star man!
Love how matches get time to breathe on COLLISION.
What a dirty filthy finish.
I love that it wasn't Joe interfering, but really giving Ricky a moment
Juice is hilarious.
Anyone know the point of BotB? Out of all of them, there's only been one belt change. If it weren't for Lance, I wouldn't even bother.
They've been pretty skippable in the past. I'm hoping it being live, and with collision as a lead in, they'll actually do something with it this time. Doubt we'll see a title change though.
Probably something the network asked for and it's a chicken or egg problem. No point in making it great in the time slots it gets and no point in changing time slots because of what it is.
Willow V Ruby is my looking forward to match. And later, probably Cassidy V Archer. Toni V Taya could be good.
Agreed on all three. Even the Punk/Starks match should be good.
Any idea on who won the women's title match?
They just finally said Toni Storm held her title in a victory.
Punk/Starks match going longer and more dynamic just shows how quick and done Willow's win really was. What was with that?
My guess is it has to do with Willow's injury (the one that postponed her last match), assuming that's real.
Fair enough. My wife assumed the same. I hadn't thought of that.
It's really interesting how pro-elite Canada has been. Is it just Kenny?
I forgot Collision starts at 5pm on the west coast again! Gonna have to watch it in the DVR again lol
Well, at least you can skip the commercials! And the FTR/BCG match was a doozy. Enjoy.
Please don't tell me this is gonna end with a doctor's stoppage.
Match card was taken from Reddit. It was the only place I could find it (tried to go on Twitter but Elon won't let me without an account).
Hard to tell who the face/heel is here. It's like they're both both lol
It's a battle of gamesmanship. BCG is choosing to wrestle and tone down the sneaky tactics. Whereas FTR is engaging in BCGs usual style to antagonize them.
This match has been so good I forgot it was 2 out of 3 falls
Yeah I have no real love for either team but it's been a hell of a match!
Great match. It'll be interesting to see where Jay/Juice go from here though. Singles runs?
Anyone else's feed die?
Just looked at Calgary radar and there's a strong cell hitting the area right now
Got dang it Bobby!
Here it went back to the wrong match. It was showing Julia Hart from last week. Hulu fail.
Had the same thing on Sling
I saw the same thing. It's okay now, but I have no clue how the Taya/Toni match ended.
Lance vs. OC. This is a serious clash of styles.
Those cameramen at the top of the ramp are weirding me out.
