[7.0] "I thought this was pretty good. I'm not a fan of squashes but the rest of the stuff was in the 6 to 8 range which I'll take any day of the week. Not the best, but a pretty good show."

[7.0] "Most of the matches overdelivered. Of course, with that much talent you would always expect them to be fun, but even then they exceed expectations. Really fun show that's worth watching. Ace Austin vs Bryan Keith was a nice surprise. The DC partnership gave a nice aesthetic and this arena had a cool camera angle as well."

""Stone Pitbull" my ass. Why Tomohiro Ishii is still presented like a serious opponent? I bet he hasn't won a match in AEW for YEARS! I'm surprised NJPW made him their Strong Openweight Champion. But I'm glad Pac picked up his first victory since his return and continued his undefeated streak on Collision."

[5.0] "No great matches, but a progressively better quality from the first to the last match (among those over 5 minutes). The squash matches were well-placed, but I'm not thrilled to see Hook in this role at this stage of his career. A few nice angles with MxM and Don Callis. Tegan Nox's arrival was welcome, but her introduction was very minimal. Overall, an average episode. In-ring quality: 2.5/5. Angles and off-match segments: 0.75/3. Bonus/penalty: none. Total: 5.25/10. Show watched on Triller TV."

[6.0] "This show had two standout matches (PAC vs. Ishii and the Main Event), Austin/Keith overdelivered considering my expectations going and Hangman's promo at the beginning was good, at the same time, as a whole it felt very middle of the road and Thekla/Shirakawa match that went WAY too long (the biggest problem with Shirakawa matches by far) imo is the biggest reason why. Two quick squashes served their purpose, especially Olympia did a good job carrying herself like she belonged."

[5.0] "A perfectly fine and steady away television show. Featured some solid matchups, a few decent promos and some much welcomed and needed preamble and build up for the women's tag championship tournament but even then maybe a little more time could have been dedicated to it given there was a decent amount of cursory fluff here."

[5.0] "The matches are mostly okay but it's all still very skippable. The women's tag tournament got a little build from Thekla vs Mina, Brian Keith has stopped being "The Bad Apple" recently, and the main event was another pretend money match. I'd be surprised if there's anyone out there who gains interest in a match if it's announced as being for a cash prize. According to this website, Hook has never worked an indy date, so it's no real surprise to see him doing the same thing here as he's been doing for the past four years with no progression. Pac looks like an 80s action figure now. It was kind of funny and a little annoying to see fans grab and keep the balls Jurassic Express were throwing out, when then intention is to have them bounce around the arena. The wrestling itself was mostly fine."

[7.0] "Lots of decent stuff in this episode. A couple of the mid show matches felt a little slow, but they weren't necessarily bad. The main event was great. Hangman's promo was great. 7/10"

"A really solid episode of Collision, after a few weeks of mediocre/forgettable ones. Hangman's promo was great: well-delievered and straight to the point. Pac vs. Ishii was good. Finish was flat, but the match was solid. Thekla vs. Mina was solid. Thekla should be pushed to the moon, if you ask me. Ace Austin vs. Keith was fun. Austin really impressed me here. Keith is underrated. There were a couple of squashes; can't bring myself to care for Hook in 2025, sorry. This Kingston-Hook team has been a failure. Eight-men tag was the best match of the night. Great, great action in front of a hot crowd despite the 4 hour taping. 7/10."

[7.0] "Solid show with some good singles matches. PAC looks like a cartoon character now. Nice to see Ace Austin get a win and some tv time."

"This was a fine Collision for the highlight for me was the Pac vs Ishii match. Pac was in amazing shape. Also the Mina vs Thekla match it was low stakes but ultimately good as well. The next two matches: Olympia vs Taya Valkyrie and Ace Austin vs Bryan Keith, both of these were similar featuring newcomers to defeat existing wrestlers. The Hook match went by quickly. By the end of the show I thought the main event had too many elements going on it was kind of chaotic for me but nothing was bad."

[8.0] "Much better than Dynamite this week. The Death Riders finally get a win over The Conglomeration with PAC beating Ishii. We get two solid women's matches on the episode, with Thekla tapping out Mina, and Olympia making her debut with a win over Taya Valkyrie. Ace Austin is a great addition to both the Bang Bang Gang and the AEW roster. He earns a win over Bryan Keith. Hook essentially squashes Griff Garrison. I liked the backstage promo with the Outrunners and (formerly) The Acclaimed. The main event was awesome. The pop for Jurassic Express when the got announced was tremendous. I think the Bucks are doing some of their best work in AEW. FTR is always a treat to watch, although JetSpeed pinning them was annoying."

[5.0] "Aside from the opening promo, first match (Ishii vs PAC) and the main event (the Young Bucks & FTR VS Jurassic Express & Jetspeed), this was a massive nothing burger of a show. Every match in the middle of the card was short or unfortunately dull. The quality here felt below average and was reminiscent of a rampage or even an episode of Dark at times."

[7.0] "Better than a lot of the recent collisions. The opening line of hangman's promo made me cringe but everything after that was excellent. Solid PAC promo and same goes for the Ishii match with great heel work from PAC. No one thought Ishii would win though, that's the only thing that hurt the match. Decent women's match. Thekla's selling was great. I don't think she needs to do the spider pose all the time, but her spear is good and that submission finish looked great. Crowd were also really into Mina. Anna Jay was cutting what I thought was a relatively nice promo (the thing about egos coming together for gold unlike them) before being interrupted. Fine segment in general. I actually think MxMTV are fantastic at what they do. Fine squash match between Olympia & Taya. Announcement of a 4 way no 1 contenders match where the winner will obviously be Joe, but why is Hook in this match? Odd. Ace v Keith was slow but I actually enjoyed it. Keith plays a good heel and Ace is a great worker with a pretty good look and in-ring charisma. If they can keep him off promos he can go really far. I loved the content of the Don Callis promo, and I'm actually looking forward to the summit segment on Dynamite. Outrunners & Dalton/Acclaimed segment was baffling (I know that's what they were going for, but didn't like it). Good reaction for Hook but the match should've been much more decisive. Olympia segment felt rushed. Nice hype package for the women's qualifiers on Dynamite. Great heat with the beach ball at the start of the main event. Overly long and at times contrived, but still an entertaining match which is all it needed to be tbf. Love them handing Nick some money and he accepts this time. 7.3/10"
