[5.0] "Not a good show, but not a bad show either. It felt like a lot of the stuff was sort of just "there" really. I didn't think anything was particularly bad apart from Big Bill vs Juice Robinson but I can't say there was anything above a 7 that I liked here either. If you didn't watch this, you didn't miss anything apart from 1-2 solid matches."
[6.0] "Fine enough episode. 6.5/10 if I could give a decimal rating. I liked the matches themselves but nothing really felt important either, definitely a downgrade compared to the last few AEW shows. Am interested in seeing where Daniel Garcia and Moxley go tho!"
[7.0] "Pretty average show but had fun here and there. Furthers everything it needed to. The Don Callis Family vs The Conglomeration was an easy highlight."
"Really not much to write home about. They would have been better off if they aired the best matches of the Ring of Honor PPV in this Collision time-slot instead; Josh Alexander & Kyle Fletcher vs. Kyle O'Reilly & Tomohiro Ishii was good though."
[5.0] "The matches were rather disappointing, often lacking suspense and quality time. That said, the show's structure wasn't all bad, as the matches often introduced non-match situations that were useful for the storylines, whether it was with Daniel Garcia and the Death Riders, Hologram and his clone, Briscoe and Fletcher, or, of course, the spotlight being taken by Thekla's clan. In-ring quality: 2.25/5. Non-match angles and segments: 1.25/3. Bonuses/penalties: none. Total: 5.5/10. Show seen on AEW Plus."
[9.0] "I liked this episode a lot the awesome story between jon moxley and Daniel Garcia is built very well returning us to the original storyline of the death riders which was with the company's youth so awesome and interesting to see where it will go also ftr match was so lit and the hologram story with his clone is very magnificent.."
[7.0] "Like the episode, the last ones were better but I was enjoyable. I didn't like the lack of more highly competitive matches, the only ones that feel competitive on both sides were the Don callis family vs the conglomeration (even tho it had a clear winner) and the main event, all the other matches felt like we already would known the outcome. Waiting for the apareance of El Clon, hopefully they don't fail on Arez"
[6.0] "Collision opens with Daniel Garcia coming out for the opening contest and Blake Christian and as the match starts Moxley comes out to give Garcia advice before leaving. Solid match pretty much an extended squash match. Then we get a post match promo from Garcia as he calls out Mox for another match and Yuta comes out to accept it. We then get a back stage segment with the conglomeration where Roddy is still pissed with Kyle for teaming with the conglomeration we then go straight into said match between Fletcher and Alexander vs Ishii and KOR. A really good hard hitting tag match with some nice technical wrestling. We then cut to Jamie Hayter battering Thekla finally getting her revenge. We get a backstage segment between mother Wayne, Kip and Killswitch to clear the air post FD. We then go into Hologram vs Jay lethal. A really fun and solid match and get the glitch with Hologram and a clone is coming soon (Hologram heel turn yes please). We then get a video packaged of Ricochet and THS. We then go into a bit of Alex Windsor action in a squash match against Ashley Vox. Yeah it happened nice to see Alex though. Then we get post match promo from Alex. Pretty solid Promo as she calls out Mercedes for a title match. We then get an interview with Make Briscoe and Don Callis were he wants a response to his TNT challenge form Dynamite and Don gives him a match against another DCF member and if he wins he gets his title match. We then go into FTR vs Adam Priest and JD Drake. A pretty solid tag match JD Drake moonsault was cool. We then get a post match promo from FTR calling out Cope and saying it's not about Cope but how it's about they should have won the belts in London. We then get a package recapping Sammy's heel turn last night on ROH. We then get a backstage interview with Don, Fletcher and Alexander. Then Josh explains that he is going to end Kenny Omega. We then go into the next match of Juice Robinson vs Big Bill. We then get a Sky flight backstage promo (yawn) where Darius is pissed off. We then get a promo from Gabe Kidd who challenge Darby to a no rules match. We then get a video package of Darby skateboarding and promoting Tony Hawks charity that he claimed Everest for to help build a skate pack in his home Town. We then into our main event ; Toni storm, Mina, Aminata vs Skye, Julia and Billie. A really good main event with a nice post match angle which probably leads to Toni vs Thekla at all out. Overall a pretty solid episode maybe not the best in terms of match quality overall but I thought it had some great story progression up and down the card in both divisions as well move towards all out."
[7.0] "It was a fine show. Some people say the women should do a Blood and Guts match at All Out, but I'd rather see that on a different show and would prefer an Anarchy in the Arena-type match instead"
[8.0] "Solid opener between Danny G & Vanilla Baby. Liking the Mox angle there. Super happy Fletcher & Mr. Headgear went over on the useless Conglomeration stable. Fun match with Hologram and Jay Lethal. Love how Lethal puts over rising stars. The Windsor match was meh. FTR over the Workhorsemen. Wasn't feeling the Big Bill vs. Juice match. Really liked the main event. Mina, Toni, Billie, Julia & Skye are so much fun to watch."
[6.0] "That was a solid episode that couldn't quite compare to the previous Dynamite. We started things off very good with the Mox/Garcia story, which is easily the thing I'm invested the most at in AEW currently. Followed by an awesome tag match and a Thekla brawl, that's always a highlight of the show lol. We get some good progression of stories with the Ricochet video, Windsor match and Hologram's clone is actually hyping me. FTR's interaction with Philly, the tag match and the main event were very good. Overall the episode delivered but it could've been a lot better."
[5.0] "I wasn't surprised this ended up being a pretty mid episode given how late it took TK to announce anything beyond Juice vs. Big Bill. It's like he went into the day of the show and was like "Shit I forgot about Collision, let me see who is going to be in town." Felt more like a late 2023 to early 2024 episode - some OK wrestling, but not much of importance really happened. Hopefully this was just a blip on the radar and not a sign of things to come with NFL season starting back up for TK."
[3.0] "This episode is throwaway house show rubbish. Learn a language, practice an instrument, learn to paint - Do anything else with your time. It's one boring and unimportant match after the other, to the point that they're showing up about ten Twitter posts in a row throughout one of the matches just to take your mind off of the lack of action. One tweet mentioned how the live audience is constantly going and lively, and I thought, "You must have missed Hologram's entrance because that man's momentum is fucking GONE." Collision isn't always this bad, but the writing is on the wall. There's no care. There's no respect for the viewer's time. It's going the same way as Rampage sooner or later. There is nothing here from either a work-rate or a storytelling perspective. It's just bad TV."
[6.0] "Not the best Collision of recent history, but even the worst AEW shows, as a rule, tend to be easy inoffensive watching. Just a bunch of good, but not spectacular, matches for two hours. Could've done with a bit more effort put in, but at the same time, not even the best team has a 100% strike rate."
[5.0] "Opener was great. Blake Christian is too smooth and I liked Daniel Garcia showing more aggression. After that not a lot of good stuff on this show. Pretty disappointing first Collision for this 2300 arena residency."
[6.0] "Overall a decent show with limited build for the coming weeks shows. I liked Daniel Garcia pushing for what he needs. I think he can improve his physique and skills a bit more before demanding the world. He has tremendous upside, I hope he works harder on himself. What's going on with Hologram? Are we about to have Hologram vs. Hologram? Reminiscent of Glacier before he appeared. I feel like we are supposed to know Alex Windsor and everything she has done, but most people don't. They do this with a lot of wrestlers from other countries/promotions. It doesn't hurt to tell a 30 second backstory, that way we have a glimpse at least if we want to go further. Continually bringing in new (to AEW) talent makes it difficult for the viewer as what are we supposed to be focusing on? Who are we here to see? Oh don't worry it'll be someone new next month. Also, WHERE THE FUCK IS RIHO?"
[5.0] "Middling episode of Collision with a number of fine but predictable matches. There was progression for following Dynamite and Collision episodes but nothing that particularly stood out as anything noteworthy or unique on this show."
