I love that Cornette is finally on board the Jay White train.
The Jay White on Collision seems like a completely different person than the one on Dynamite. I've never seen such a huge difference so quickly. The Elite are absolute cancer.
Chew Chew
Switchblade is impressive however I'd insist he slow down a tad, seems he's running to execute everything in a snap which throws off the timing of his opponents.
Tony Khan’s been on the white train doing fat rails.
@@13gears I'm worried about that when he starts wrestling the Indie kids who don't know how to call a good match.
Nigel's final call was fantastic! "Oh, no! It's genius and I hate it!". Man, it's great to a a good heel commentator again.
This was a 10 star match out of 5. In my late 50's, been watching wrestling for over 45 years, and I can't think of a better tag team match I've watched in all my years. It was amazing, and high kudos to all 4 men. This is a match everyone in AEW should be forced to watch and learn from.
I'm in my 40s I seen better not saying t easnt great or anything . No but cime on and if you want me to name one off my head the Steiners vs doc and first the brain busters vs ligwr and Windham
You have not seen a better tag team? Ever heard of Harlem Heat? Ever heard of Motor City Machineguns?
@@lordpardus7348 He said tag team match not tag team
My favourite tag team match was harts Vs Steiners from 94 for a long time but this was close
@@lordpardus7348I'm familiar with both those teams, and FTR are better.
Did anyone else notice that both teams actually used the tag ropes throughout the whole match? I couldn’t believe it.
@@chuckles9767either racist, or some bullshit they said to get outta answering the question. You be the judge
@@chuckles9767 Racist...what the fucking fuck....
Tag Team matches and Lucha Libre Trios are entirely separate traditions you dimwits! The problem isn't racism or such BS, it's what happens when you blend the two into the chaotic mush that fills the modern indie tag team wrestling and plagued the first years of AEW to the point even Jericho noticed it.
Rules and traditions are there to create a structure and the image of a legitimate athletic contest. I'm not as fanatical about kayfabe as Jim (I don't think anyone is) but I want to believe in what I'm watching.

@chuckles9767 white liberals love to speak for Mexicans. You think we actually came up with Latinx?
I was at the Saddledome for Collision last Saturday and got to watch this live in person. What a match.
Same. My fiancé was with me and she doesn’t watch wrestling (she got me tickets as a birthday present). But by the end of the whole show the thing she took out of all of it was how incredible that match was and how impressed she was with FTR (BCG as well, but FTR is just so damn good that they stood out more to her).
I honestly couldn’t believe we got a major PPV main event caliber match like that. I know they’re all so good but they REALLY went for it.
Same
This episode of Collision is exactly what we've been missing in the wrestling world for so much a wrestling show centered around actual wrestling not bullshit all play friends flip wrestling this is exactly what we needed Collision to be
Are you okay?
@@Domidomi85are you okay neckbeard?
No
If it wasn't on fucking Saturday so it could draw more viewers :/
Agreed, this is what we need more of in Pro Wrestling. But ofcourse the EVPs have convinced TKhan to keep FTR/Punk and the others who aren’t part of the EVP click on Saturday rather letting them have Weds. Collision will never outdraw Dynamite just based off the time slot, difference Is if the booking were switched, the Punk/FTR product would have much higher ratings on Dynamite and the Play Friends product on Sat would be even worse than Collision’s current ratings
This match made me realize how much I miss the briscoe's. They would have been great on collision if they could have convinced the executives to let them on TV. Then we'd get to see them and FTR again then thrown in jay and juice and we could have had the starting of a legitimate tag team division
Truer words were never spoken about what could’ve been. That dog collar match will be hard to top for me. RIP Jay 😞
In a slightly better world Collision would be ROH and in a better one still, the Briscoes and FTR would both be on it.
The Briscoes were only "banned from TV" by the EVPs. There is no TNT television executive that has an ounce of a clue what Jay Briscoe said 13 yrs ago. They were blocked by The young bucks/ the Elite.
The crowd popping near the end with the double sharp shooters was magic. Amazing match. This was tag team wrestling without the circus shit. Collision is great.
" It's genius and I hate it! " was an incredible call by Nigel.
Run this back a 3rd time, please.
He does a great job of explaining what's happening and why it hurts. No one does that anymore.
They’ll be a blowoff match for sure
I've been waiting for Cornette to review this one. This was one of the best tag team matches of all time.
Best AEW match I’ve seen. No gimmicks, but it was still exciting and fun to watch for the full hour. These 4 are some of the best they’ve got right now.
The commentary was so damn good in this match. I watched this match in bed after a 16 hour work day, and I was falling asleep at the early part of the match. But I can legitimately say the commentary kept me awake, they made me sit up and stay awake to see the conclusion of this absolute classic tag team match.
The Young Bucks must been slapping their thighs with anger watching this classic match that they could never do!
They didn’t watch it for sure, they are getting ready to get their flowers for a match with forks and skewers with Moxley because that’s badass and awesome and badass
@@renelimas333yeah, it’s f*ckin dope
@@thesquirozgxa bunch of badasses, lol
@@timtimly6085 with our foot on the gas pedal, yeah

Man Cody would have fit perfectly on Collision
This show was made for his style of wrestling
No it's not, he'd take up half the show with a monologue and a thesaurus
He would’ve done well but he’s doing better in the wwe environment .. AEW fans don’t respect guys like Cody.. They either support a blood thirsty edge-lord.. or neck breaking stunt infested matches.. But collision does seem like the better compact show. So he may have flourished here..
I agree. Cody would've been great on Collision. I feel like he lost a little momentum after Roman at wrestlemania. :/
He'll be back. Let him finish his story.
@@catseyereflex6774
Cody Rhodes was loved by the AEW fans. They started disliking him because of the poor storylines he was getting into. Lots of people believed that he was the one booking himself into those bad storylines, therefore he was getting booed for that… and then as the rumor about him leaving for WWE started to become popular, they really began to dislike him. Not at all because of his wrestling style, it’s not like they discovered him at the start of AEW.
Riccaboni deserves a lot of credit he killed it
Absolutely. He's great. He has a great cadence to his voice that many other announcers just don't have that makes everything seem bigger than it really is and he accomplishes it a lot of the time by not having to scream the way Excalibur does (altho he does scream sometimes). Imagine if we could get Sock Face and Schiavone moved to Rampage exclusively and get Kevin Kelly and Nigel on Dynamites and Ian and Nigel on Collisions what difference it'd make from a presentation standpoint.
I enjoy Kevin Kelly but I’d prefer Ian Riccaboni over him after this match. Them two and Nigel are all fantastic for the presentation on Collision
I was scared when I remembered that Kelly wasn't going to be with them for a month due to the G1 Climax and his NJPW commitments. When I heard Riccaboni's soothing voice, my fears were alleviated.
@@Hellwolf36I thought sock face was going be stepping in thank god Ian stepped in always enjoyed his work in ROH I do enjoy Kevin Kelly but Ian was a great addition for him not being there
@@StormTroopaKoopaI would do Kevin and Taz for variety
This match was 10/10. These 4 guys are all special in their own rights and they make special work together
6.5 out of 5 Stars this was how wrestling match supposed to be. this should be use as education to showcase this is a wrestling match.
Never thought Corny would be a Jay White fan, kinda hilarious considering he’s just a super laid back Kiwi who completely disconnects from wrestling when he’s home in florida and doesn’t even watch it that much, his interview with CVV is great!
I loved that Dax and Cash were doing some of Bret Hart’s stuff like the swift punch to the gut followed by a side russian leg sweep.
everyone on the card did some version of a bret hart move. it's not like they were the only ones. personally I think watching bret wrestle was like watching paint dry unless he was working with someone who had any amount of charisma and could make the match less boring. that's why WWF let bret go. they seen his style was to old school and knew he wasnt going to be a guy who could draw in the futurewith where the companywas trying to go.
as soon as he left WWF they took off to heights they'd never saw before. I think that's why bret is still so so bitter. I think he knows he screwed up by letting his ego get in his way and jumping to wcw where he was a fraction of what he was. he looked miserable on tv everytime they showed him. he looked heart broken every time he was on screen.
@@youtubebannedme4207 Bret Hart was the best Supporting Champion, and it may have been boring, but it made sense, its like the difference between 5 Day Test Cricket, One Day International and 20/20... so I would call Bret Hart the 5 Day Test Cricket, 20/20 would be close to shawn michaels with the fire and excitement... and One Day International which is not too long, and not too short... Bret Hart versus Shawn Michaels always great matches...
Alvarez being gobsmacked when Uncle Dave called this the greatest American Tv tag match ever was GOLD
Nah but dave hates punk ftr and their style of wrestling right??
Idiots
Will he give it 5 stars then?
@@Tayworld54 and then mumble fumble about the style and how 4 is the same as 5.
@@Tayworld5 he'll give it more than 5 easily
How many stars did he eventually give it?
Is always fun to hear Jim and Bryan talk shit about moxley and the trampoline cowboys but it is better to hear a nice critique of an excellent wrestling match
I agree 100 percent I enjoy the positive reviews far more than the negative ones.
I agree. If only there were more good matches for them to review. Part of the reason I love Collision is because it has actual ring psychology (most of the time).
It's a different kind of enjoy. I think the trampoline ones are hilarious while these matches are just great to listen the opinion.
i saw this live at the Saddledome. by the end, it made me a Jay White fan.
The thing nobody talks about is this is only Jin and juice 5th or 6th match as a tag team and they might have had 2 of the best tag team matches ever
Juice tagged with David Finlay a long time, but to my knowledge Jay has been a single for forever, just occasional tags here or there never had a serious run in a team.
Jay and Juice were both NJPW dojo trainees in the same year, they basically lived and trained together. They definitely have that unspoken chemistry together.
I absolutely HATED Juice as a babyface in New Japan. As a heel? He's the goddamn chef's kiss. This match was incredible. If you let Punk and FTR hand pick a full size roster for Collision and you could legit program it head to head vs RAW and fulfill the promise that AEW made to their audience during their announcement press conference all those years ago.
They gotta start doing some stories we can sink our teeth into. Matches r great but the why isn't there
Lmao
@@SevendueceAlthough I agree with you, but storylines take a long time to build.
The Roman Bloodline empire wasn’t built in one day. (Pardon the pun).
Right now, they can try to use the real life feud of Punk and the Elite, but I doubt if Tony Khan has the balls to do that. Hope that wrong though.
Seems that he’s starting to slowly act more like a boss, by implementing a set of rules to follow.
Collisions vs raw? Lmao
100% correct! Let Punk and FTR pick the talent and suggest matches to Tony. Put Dustin, jake, Arn in the back to ...
You know what... just hire cornette!
This was a PPV match on TV. Jay is a tad too fast though, he'd be good in tango with Darby. Cash Wheeler was most impressive. 60 minute match and was sorry it ended too soon! 7-star.
This match felt like 15 minutes. Time goes fast when you’re invested emotionally. I loved this match from start to finish.
That will be 7 stars if either Kenny or Matty or Nicky or Hangman will be involve in that match, right Uncle Dave? 😉🤣
@@nielcarpnava Only in Japan, 6 stars otherwise.
8 stars if it was at the Tokyo Dome.
THANK YOU! For giving this review so soon. I have been waiting for this review.
I haven’t watched the video yet but in my opinion this was the best tag team match I’ve seen maybe in my 24 years here on earth literally
Agreed it was absolutely amazing. I’m really not sure what my exact rankings of recent history tag matches would go but my top 5 definitely consists all of the 2 ftr vs juice and jay and the 3 ftr vs briscoes in some order.
Good match but their bouts with the briscoes and diy back in nxt were much better
You would be hard pressed to find a better tag team match. However if you did manage to, it would also feature FTR
@@chuckbuskeethat he's seen people might not have been able to watch FTR and the briscoes or Revival and DIY
It wasn’t better than Austin/hhh vs Jericho/Benoit. But it was very good
FTR & Briscoes 1 & 2 and FTR & White / juice are the real 5 star matches of the last year.
I love that that they didn’t pat themselves in the back with the mutual handshake. The heels stayed in character and the babyfaces looked like good sports.
Best tag match I’ve seen in my lifetime. Un fucking real. Looking forward to this thanks Jim and Brian!
It was perfect. One of the greatest tag team matches of all time! FTR have definitively put themselves in the conversation of “who is the best tag team of all time?”
Wouldn't go that far as best teams of all time . No but come on
i wasn't quite sure what Jim meant by his hatred of young bukc matches or modern wreslting. But after watching this match on silent and finally understanding watching wreslting psychology, I can see how you should take time to build the anticipation instead of giving the people everything all at once. It's like shoving dinner and dessert into someone's mouth all at once (you need to take time to savor everything). Anyway, I have always liked FTR and Gin & Juice have won my admiration. The elite can just shove it or go back to new jhapna.....thanks guys
I am so looking forward to this talk.
That match was so amazing that sometimes i caught myself thinking if this 2 out of 3 Falls Match was better than that one between FTR and The Briscoes.
But at this point, doesn't matter! I loved both of this matches and this was one of the best Tag Team Matches that AEW ever produced.
Haven’t seen this one yet. Is it on par or better than the dog collar match?
@@ronaldmanuel732 I think FTR vs Bullet Club Gold 2 out of 3 Falls was slightly better than FTR vs The Briscoes II (with was a 2 out 3 Falls too), so i definitely recommend you to see it, specially because each fall looked like a different match,just like Brian Last said it.
The Dog Collar Match is unbeatable in my opinion😂
Such a fun tag match. No clue where they go from here, but that was fantastic!
When cornette was saying he didnt know what the big deal about jay white was i kept saying "just wait and see what happens with good booking and a serious opponent" and here we are.
A match this good shouldn't be on the Saturday show while the elite and their nonsense get primetime. What is wrong with this company
My mother came through the living room and said “you still watch wrasslin?” And I said “not really only when I know it’s gonna be good” and she inquired who it was and I told her ftr were from the Carolina’s and she even stopped and watched it. That sums this match up.
What are u 40?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@joeyriddle428lol
@@joeyriddle428 25, and disabled. My mother is 45.
This might be the best tag team match in AEW history so far
Best tag team match ever in AEW
I didn't think they could top the last match but they did. These guys put on the 2 best matches I've ever seen yet in aew. That was professional wrestling the way it should be and I love it. 👏👏👏👏
I was shocked when they said it'd been an hour, cuz it felt like 15mins.
Juice Robinson has a great chance to be their LA Knight. He can get so ridiculously over because he's so good and entertaining
I noticed something: Jay White is being pushed as the star, BUT in their tag team matches-- in the falls that Jay and Juice win, it is due to something that JUICE did. In their losses, Juice has to lose the fall. ( although I am judging this based on 4 falls )
Jay White = main event.
Juice Robinson = solid mid-carder ( He should always be in the mix for the TNT or International Titles. )
That was pretty much how they were both used in NJPW. Although Juice was a Babyface for a majority of his run there.
@@Hellwolf36 I have seen a match or two from Jay White in NJPW. Brutal stuff.
As for Juice, before I saw him wrestle, I thought he was going to be a "pay me to be pinned" guy. He gets almost as much respect in the men's division as Toni does in the women's division.
I genuinely think if they stay a tag team that’ll be the best outcome for the both of them this is special they could be ftrs longtime rivals
@@luisreyeskc1560yes esp now that the Briscoe’s are now, well, you know
@@luisreyeskc1560 Except for MJF, Jericho, and CM Punk, everyone else gets forgotten if they aren't part of a group; I think you are correct there.
The review we’ve all been waiting for 🙌
Tag Ropes not only used, but enforced! 😵
This is one of the best tag team matches in wrestling history. Technical, fast-paced, emotional, great commentary, that's what the Young Bucks think they do in their matches.
It's not top 10...its not even a top 5 ftr match
In history? Easy here, it was probably the best non-PPV match tho.
Surprised Corny didn't mention how well Ian did on commentary, that was refreshing!
What's with modern fans (of not just wrestling) immediately declare so many things 'tHe BeST EvAHH!', instead of taking some time and letting it marinate a bit?? What's with you people, lol.
FTR does what the Bucks think they do
Collision has been putting on bangers, I wish they took the wednesday slot and switched dynamite to saturdays - every buckaroo angle would be DOA 😂
need to keep spreading the word that this is the show to watch and not Wednesday, start converting people
@@jeffers1985 Yes, divide a fanbase more…
Preach brotha.
@@stevonwhite8933the EVPs have and are continuing to do that already.
@@barrone71 No blame to go around, huh?
You drunk the kool-Aid, just as much as the other side.
I only been alive 28 years I wasn’t alive for the older era’s. This might be my favorite tag match that I’ve seen with my eyes
This was one of the best hours of actual wrestling I've ever seen. Recency bias has me hesitant to say it's the best tag match ever, but I can't think of a better one. It was an hour long, and had it all, and finished clean.
If you haven't seen it, you have to. The hour flies by
Glad I recorded this episode of collision, got a modern day classic to watch whenever
Great Commentary! Great Wrestling!
As a guy who got cancer and lost My left leg in 1986 and had to end My wrestling career before it started, You and Brian are fantastic, subscribed and genuinely appreciate what You offer.
I also follow "What culture" and "wrestlelamia", and find You guys to be the best and honest voices, thank You!
Being at this event live in Calgary was incredible
Hearing Jim happy and getting to review something he likes is SO much better than him having to criticise stuff.
so agreed. i've seen some of his other videos, and they all seem really negative (although i might have just not seen the right videos) and that really tarnished my opinion on him. however, hearing him talk about how good this match was it makes me really happy! (especially considering i love jay white so much)
I cried threw out the match wondering where has this been, great wrestling. The experience is real to me when I know better. This is wrestling, I want more!!!!
Feels like Punk, FTR are formatting the Collison while Tony and the EVPS including Jericho are running the Dynamite
A lot of names have been rumored to be involved with Collision, Ari Daivari produced this tag match BTW. Bryan Danielson is involved in creative, along with Tony and others for Collision.
Well either way it's still Tony's company .. I don't know why people don't realize that it's not pinks or Ftrs separate brand or company
I think it was said that Colissions are mainly formatted by Jeff Jarrett. So this is not strange that it is so good, considering his experience and lineage. Jeff actually is a great booker once he's not putting all the belts on himself. Hopefully he is too old for now😅
I have been waiting for this 🙂
excellent match! loved it
it was magic of a match. You know they are going to go again after that and people will be pumped for it.
Juice and Jay needed this so much as they were rotting on dynamite
Nigel's "This is pro-wrestling and does it not make you proud?" call sums up this match.
Young Bucks do gymnastic exhibitions in a ring, but this was an actual wrestling match. Very refreshing to see.
i was really into that match. hearing your thoughts and breakdown makes it that much more impressive.
and awesome audio spot to end the clip with. haha.
you know Cornette loved this
Collision feels like WWE when Triple H took over, people were mocking him for not immediately turning the ratings around but they continued with the good angles and PPVs building the judgement day, gunther, the bloodline and seth rollins characters and now we're starting to see increase in ratings because of the groundwork that was laid last year.
If Collision continues in the current direction with good matches, building characters in Jay White and Juice who was basically useless on Dynamite, showing what FTR can do, having Ricky Stark actually do something interesting later in the year we may start seeing the results of the groundwork that's being laid here.
I look forward to it
My jaw dropped when I watched the FTR vs Bullet Club (Gin and Juice) match. I heard Ian Riccaboni and Nigel McGuinness instead of Sockface(would've been cool to have Caprice Coleman on the desk as well)! The announce team on Collision makes it my favorite progrum out of all the AEDubya shows in that they put a sock in Sock Face. Thank the rasslin gods!
FACTS 💯
We will start seeing a bit more stories going forward I think too. But the reasons for feuds and stuff will be over positions within wrestling.
As it should be. I mean wrestling's the only reason they're there lol
The Best part of the match.. Not ONE SINGLE DIVE. If there was, i missed it. This was ABSOLUTELY flawless. Jay White and Juice Robinson are the QUINTESENTIAL Heel tag team. But, the start of the show... The Announcing. I can NOT stress enough how announcing makes these matches SO MUCH BETTER. The commentary on this match, was ABSOLUTELY GOLD! (no pun intended). Fucking best match I have EVER SEEN in my 39 years of being on this earth. Hands down, THE. BEST. MATCH. IN. HISTORY. OF. TAG. TEAM. WRESTLING.
I saw this one live. It was amazing.
This was a great match. Only thing I hated was the double sharpshooter spot. I hate synchronised moves as they’re so fake and in this case it also took away from Dax locking it in individually for the win
Great match! Gin and Juice will overtake Punk and even FTR as the stars of Collision
No No No
And honestly, I don't think Punk would mind. He wants to help make stars who take the business seriously.
I have never in my life re-watched in AEW wrestling match and I have been watching since they started. I watched this match three times already and they were over an hour each. That’s saying some thing about this match.
Same here and this collison Program made me love the wrestling product 💯 again something that was missing wrestling
That’s funny bcuz I was going to rewatch their first match but then I was like nahhh they’ve got another coming up and now I want rewatch them both!
This video and review made my night. Perfect match. Perfect review. FTR are absolutely incredible and BCG brought it. I gave this a standing ovation in my home. Bravo to all involved
This match is the first thing in probably 5-10 years that I've made sure to DVR so I could watch it later.
BANG BANG GANG BABY! This match was fucking great!
That color commentary team was god tier during the entire broadcast, but especially for this match.
Not gonna lie, they got me hooked when Juice hit the frog splash on Dax in the middle of the match and got a crazy near fall.
One of the best matches I’ve ever seen truly
I had surgery Friday and was doubled over most of Saturday. This match was so engaging that the 58 minutes feel like 30.
Being there live for this was a true honour
This match was outstanding! Love the team of Jay & Juice. Always been a fan of both guys and it's great seeing them used so much better now at least so far. Great as a team but also have great potential as solo stars on the show. This blew away whatever other match Meltzer gives 10,000 stars to. Also loved that Jay & Juice didn't shake hands with FTR at the end to keep that heel energy.
I needed that match just to be reminded that i was a wrestling fan
I just got to see the clips of the match on CZcams, but what I saw was fantastic. These guys worked their asses off.
Collision is probably the only show that I watch even during picture-in-picture
Finally! Jim has begun to... _breathe with The Switchblade!_
This match was so good that my wife (who knows nothing about modern wrestling) was absolutely engrossed in it
while i initially had seen the result prior to watching this match (not the blow-by-blow aspect), I was completely glued to my screen at a certain point. having seen a variety of 2/3 falls, i kept wondering what would happen because the initial fall went long. when BCG hit their finisher, i was like wow. things just got real. But I knew that the first fall would determine the rest of the match. unless they wanted to do something completely off the railing, FTR had to beat BCG in the 2nd fall. but there were some crazy moments where you had doubts like the Powerplex/Splash where Cash came up short and Juice hit the top rope splash. Top rope splashes feel banal but it got a huge reaction because the match was deep and this was the second time Cash made a mistake.
the third fall's start wasn't great imo. the outside brawling i got because things started to intensify but i didn't care for the long segment with the railing. you couldn't really see what happened that would take out both men. did they hit their heads? it didn't look hard even though the crowd sighed. but they stayed down for a while. it got a little awkward where the referee started to lose control of the match right around then. the ref didn't do a great job around then in not counting both teams out so i think that distracted. both teams selling fatigue was great towards the end, even though i hate the trope of "this is the final minutes, let's regroup and have a hockey fight." in this case, the crowd got into it knowing that things were about to get crazy.
jim/brian missed Jay's Shawn Michael's tribute to piss off the Stampede/Hart crowd with the telegraphed footstomp but then went for the sharpshooter. That was unexpected and actually great and managed to get the crowd reaction they wanted. Dax pulling down his kneepad to get more depth in the sharpshooter was cool. haven't seen that ever. the Hart tribute with that move was great and FTR had been doing tons of Hart Foundation tributes the whole night (the earlier headlock takedown sequences which you barely see these days, the Davey Boy overhead press slam, Bret's signature turnbuckle bumps). I really had hoped that FTR could've gotten in a Hart-Attack bearhug -> running clothesline double team move.
Jay was great here. He's a very subtle heel but was able to portray a broader range. Just small things like stealing the hat at the beginning, motioning towards the crowd how Cash (Dax?) got blinded, the HBK tribute. I'm going to say this because I just started noticing something: Juice reminds me of Macho Man Randy Savage. His selling isn't outrageous and he reacts really well. Maybe his wildman appearance, his crazy antics, the elbow, his way of reacting/selling as a heel, all these things remind me a bit of Savage. Both guys are really impressing me on this show and i never really had seen them up until AEW. Without a doubt this was an eye opener for someone like me where it was a career defining performance for them. Bravo.
Here on out, I don't know what these guys should do. On the one hand, you want to see more but again where do you go from here? Cage match? 1 hour Iron Man? In that scenario, it almost feels like BCG should win that round. You know this isn't over. On the other hand, because they went nearly 1 hour, and this was a title match, do you give another match to BCG or keep them in the background waiting to be elevated back into the #1 contender spot so that they can recover and get more wins along with FTR so that there's a line back to a finale where BCG can capture the titles? My only fear in that scenario is that Tony Khan can easily derail the situation with bad booking and cool off what they have going because both teams are performing at 100% and have near perfect chemistry right now. This is where The Briscoes would've made for a good 3rd team in the mix just because it would give both teams another set of great opponents. I don't think the Gunn Club should be in that mix outside of just having matches with both teams (but not winning titles). Like do you bring in the Acclaim so that BCG have a distraction, help teach the kids but stay near the top? I think in that scenario, the matches have to be shorter because they won't be at this level just yet. I don't think another tournament would make sense because they're already having that stupid one with Cole/MJF on the other program (but I wouldn't mind BCG vs Cole/MJF or even against FTR but I don't know how they'll handle Cole/MJF comedy hour on Collision unless it's another Roderick Strong gets injured type of angle to put Cole into a serious mood)
Just watched the match and that shit was INCREDIBLE!
Juice has good over the top selling, something I first noticed way back when he was in Nxt and managed to have an entertaining match with the Great Khali.
Match of the Year so far. This was incredible and once again it involves FTR. They might be the best workers in any company. Jay and juice were fantastic as well. This was brilliant.
This was a match worthy of a 1980s or 1990s PPV
That vertical suplex spot where both guys go over the top rope is always scary looking. I believe Scott Lost used to call it the “Suicide”, and that’s pretty much what it is 😂
This match featured the best use of picture-in-picture that AEW has done. I had a lot of fun watching this one.
The best match I've ever seen live, no question.
Incredible match…one of the best of the year so far.
I don't know about this being the greatest FTR match, but it's the best AEW TV tag team match of all time and also the longest tag match too. Almost 1 hour long if you count the action during the commercial breaks.
Damn, that was good, I’m full, The Steaks & Taters was spot on, pass the Sprite Zero, whew!
Those 4 guys delivered 🙌
1 thing they have to give to TK. Eventhough according to Jericho the territory is build around bucks omega him adam page and Cody Rhodes, the titles are still on the ones who earned them i.e MJF,FTR,Hook etc.
There is a reason I only watch Collision now instead of the Elite's playground over on Wednesday Nights: Because here you get more of AEW's few positives with little of their weaknesses as possible.
This match highlighted this.
Someone in the back probaby asked "why didn't they go to the full time limit and do a last second pin/2 count angle like every single other timed match we've had?"
