[3.0] "I didn't know that FTR had lost to Starks and W Morrisey, I love it, anyway, they aren't even a team, that habit of giving couple championships to improvised teams does bother me; How Edge humiliates Starks with all the ease in the world is wonderful, this is the Adam Copeland that a certain soap opera company must have offered us, I love this personality of Adam Copeland with an excellent microphone; What a great contribution from FTR to the startup segment, a complete nothing; Willie Mack Vs Samoa Joe, very little to salvage in this match; an acceptable match between Juice Robinson and Daniels, making the members of the Gold Bullet Club look strong; Kyle Fletcher, a great Australian Wrestler that AEW should not leave behind; Max Caster's No Family Friendly segments are pure gold, that segment with Renee Paquette was fun; acceptable starting match between Blue and Statlander; I didn't know that Collision was squash night, already very frustrating that three matches out of six are pure squash, not pleasant at all; Miro's promos are already too repetitive and without substance, on top of that they constantly promote him so that in the end he is frozen for weeks, it is absurd; very good match, but with things to polish between Cage and Danielson for the TNT championship that I feel is in its best stage; Well, it was literally a night with a lot of squash, which was uninteresting and only two good matches, very little to salvage from this episode of Collision."

[7.0] "This was a good show, but not at the level of early episodes. We opened with a fairly average match between Samoa Joe and Willie Mack for the ROH Television Title. Juice Robinson, then faced Christopher Daniels in a match that definitely happened. Kyle Fletcher then faced Boulder in a nothing match that was little more than a squash. We then saw Skye Blue attempt to win the TBS Title from Kris Statlander in one of her best matches so far. This seems to be a trend for Statlander, giving up and comers their best matches to date. Keith Lee then squashed Turbo Floyd in a nothing match. Finally, we got the Match of the Night as Christain Cage defended his TNT Title against Bryan Danielson."

[5.0] "An average show that only had an opening talking segment and a great main event out of the interesting stuff. The rest of the show was pretty boring and unexciting. Finally, Christian showed a fantastic match. Because yes, he performs well, but this was fire."

[7.0] "Opens with good big man exchange, expected winner but a suitable tv showcase for Joe. BCG match was good but the angle following was very entertaining. Juice gives a good promo that pivots away seamlessly from the quarters that were poorly received on social media. Fletcher calls out Omega, very exciting match up. Story is developing with Skye after her good match with Statlander. Not interested in Keith Lee anymore sadly his hype is gone. Main event was very excellent."

[7.0] "Very solid show that was carried by Cage/Copeland/Danielson (whether through in-ring promos or the main event). Just fantastic stuff from all parties (including Big Bill and Starks) to interweave several feuds and faction-based storytelling into the same narrative thread. Both of the Joe/Mack and Statlander/Skye Blue matches were solid TV matches, and kept the crowd engaged (credit to Toledo by the way - solid energy throughout the whole show). The main event easily cleared both of those matches, however, and was just a great showcase for both guys."

[7.0] "Good show. The decision to put Schiavone with the Collision commentary team was a big win as it not only helped the flow of the show but lit a fire under both Nigel McGuinness' and also Jim Ross' asses, resulting in the best commentary performance in a long time during the main event. Speaking of which, what a classic that was. If not for Ricky's interference and the screwy finish, this could have been a MOTY contender. Other than that match, Statlander and Blue also had a really good match. The rest was more or less filler in the match department and/or too long (first two matches). Looking forward to Miro's path of rampage and the return ot LFI as well."

[9.0] "Being there live may swing my rating, but this episode of Collision delivered for me. Joe vs Mack was a fun opener and helped Joe begin his road back to world title gold. Juice vs Daniels mainly put over Juice and the BCG but seeing Daniels in a match was quite nice. Squash matches are getting a little repetitive for me in AEW but still being able to see these guys perform was a blast. Statlander vs Blue went only 9 minutes but in the arena it felt more like 15. Blue declining Statlander's hand may lead to a Skye Blue heel turn (yes please).Danielson vs Cage was great main event. Near falls and Christian working the crowd got myself and that arena quite hot. The post match brawl leads me to believe that next week's main event is going to be a 4v4 or some such tag team, and I will be looking forward to it. Overall, Collision is still my favorite weekly show. With nearly 50 minutes of wrestling on a 2 hour show, as wrestling fan I cannot complain."

[7.0] "This was a very good episode of Collision: I loved the opening segment, really entertaining and fun. Joe vs. Mack was a decent TV match. Daniels vs. Robinson wasn't anything special but it was cool to see Daniels compete. Post-match by BCG was good. Keith Lee and Kyle Fletcher's squash were okay. Statlander vs. Blue was really good. Statlander is having a sensational run as Tbs champion and Blue has improved a lot in the last months. Cage vs. Danielson was an excellent main event: Christian is the best heel in the industry and the best thing going on in Aew right now while Danielson is simply the goat and could have a good match with a chair. Post-match brawl was fun as well. I think they are going for an eight man tag with Ftr, Copeland and Danielson vs. Starks, Big Bill, Christian Cage and Luchasaurus and I'm all for it. For weeks Collision felt directionless, with Cm Punk gone the show didn't have a major storyline that could make the show interesting but it looks like Collision is gonna be fun again. The whole Copeland/Cage angle has been great so far and now adding people like Danielson or Ftr to the mix is going to make it even better. Overall: the opening segment and main event kinda saved the show because the rest of the card was pretty flat, except for Blue vs. Statlander but it was an entertaining show."

[7.0] "Absolutely loved the main event. Christian is at the top of his game right now and Danielson is another level in the ring. This might be the best run of his entire career. Everything else on this show was fairly average and forgettable - except for the opening segment (a 15 minute promo segment that had me thinking I was watching the USA Network on a Monday night). Adam Copeland losing his cool after being called "bug-eyed" and deciding to bury one half of your tag team champions (and one of your most promising young stars) by calling him a "a vanilla midget version of The Rock" was absolutely atrocious. Aside from "midget" being an incredibly derrogatory term that should've stayed in the 90's, what is gained from a nearly 50 year old veteran of the business (who has been in your company for only two weeks) deciding to "shoot" on someone who is being positioned as a future star of your company? Not only that, Ricky Starks is a current champion in AEW and essentially squashed FTR last week. Now you're saying FTR were squashed by a "vanilla midget"? Considering Starks and Copeland aren't even feuding (and we likely will never see Cope put Ricky over), what was gained by any of this worked shoot bullshit? Adam going off on his own, pulling an insult out of the Attitude Era, helped nobody here. Not Ricky. Not FTR. Not Danielson (who looks to be continuing his program with Starks). Not even Adam, who looked like a petulant child. And it will likely be the only thing people remember about this installment of Collision, to the detriment of all involved. I am so sick of AEW's "work shoot" promos and mentioning "the other place" to get cheap crowd pops. Focus on your own company, your own stars and building for the future. As I said, a great TV main event though and the only reason this episode gets 7/10. The rest was forgettable to downright damaging."

[8.0] "After the disappointment of the head to head on Tuesday, and people's reactions to Tony Khan's online activities following afterwards, I thought this was a good rebound show, even if a lot of damage has been done to AEW's reputation. Two good undercard bouts in Joe/Mack and Statlander/Blue, and a well worked main event between Christian Cage and Bryan Danielson. Looks like we're getting a big eight man tag with Adam Copeland getting to team up with FTR which has long been the rumour since well before he left WWE."
