Hangman Page is here!

San Antonio fires up for the Cowboy, who is still AEW (Men’s) World Champion, but is also still mad after what Joe & The Opps did to him just last week at WrestleDream. The fans cheer for “COWBOY SH*T!” as Hangman grabs a mic. Hangman says, “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Katsuyori Shibata, Will Hobbs, Samoa Joe. The Opps! You fought the Death Riders for nearly a year, and they may have beaten you, they may have hurt you, but they never killed you. And when you had the opportunity, you cleared the way for someone, anyone, to finally take the World Heavyweight Championship off of Jon Moxley.

“You did it, Samoa Joe, and I owed you for that! So I gave you the only thing that I could, I gave you the only thing that anyone here could ever want, Joe. I gave you a shot at the All Elite Wrestling Men’s World Championship.” The fans cheer that. “And Joe, I looked you in the eye, man to man, and I told you what was going to happen, Joe. And at WrestleDream, it took everything that I had but I knocked you on your big, burly ass and I beat you! And for the first time in a long time, I think you felt something other than anger. Joe, at WrestleDream, I think you were embarrassed. You were embarrassed that big bad Samoa Joe couldn’t kill The Hangman.”

The fans applaud, and Hangman continues, “And in your frustration, your anger, your embarrassment, Joe, the three of you, you stabbed me in the back.” The fans boo that. “Joe, Shibata, Hobbs, I want you to look deep inside, and I want you to know that you’ve become the very thing that you fought against for so long. And the three of you, the three of you should’ve known better. The three of you should have known better. Joe, you should have known better than to think that you were going to beat me for this. All three of you, all three of you should’ve known better than to jump me after the match.

“And all three of you have been in this long enough that you should’ve all known better than to make an enemy out of me.” The fans cheer that, too! Hangman brings up that Joe said he’s hunting Hangman, but Hangman will correct Joe’s dumbass self: Hangman is the one hunting Joe! The fans cheer, and Hangman says he is the champion of the entire WORLD! And Hangman is not going to find Joe while he’s hurt, while he’s pissed, while he’s off his game, but he will find Joe in the exact moment that he decides! And when Hangman does find Joe, he wants Joe to know he’ll do far worse than just embarrass him. He’ll do far worse than just beat Joe.

Hangman promises that when he finds Joe, he will ruin Joe’s entire life. The fans fire up for that! When and where will The Cowboy make Joe regret everything he’s ever done?

PAC speaks.

“Discipline maketh man. And trust me, we are not about to waver now. This is a war, not a battle. A marathon, not a sprint. And tonight, I get my opportunity to play my part once again. Tomohiro Ishii, the Stone Pitbull. Well listen, ya mutt, I don’t care how much wacky ‘backy ya smoke. Tonight, I am gonna smoke you in the center of that ring, and remind everybody who dares forget, we are The Death Riders, and we still dominate this place, whether you like it or not.” The Bastard has spoken, but is his bark worse than his bite? Or will he break the Stone Pitbull down and stand on the rubble?

Backstage interview with Don Callis.

Lexy Nair is with The Jackal and says they have to “address the elephant in the room.” After what we saw happen at WrestleDream, and even at the end of Dynamite just earlier this week, what is exactly going on between Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita? Callis says Lexy is like a high school gossip girl. He’ll ask her this: Does she have any siblings back home in “Alerbamer?” Yes… Then does she ever argue with them? Yes… And she still gets together with them for holidays at the family shed and ride the goats, right? He says families have disagreements. And when you have a family of genetically superior athletes, they’ll wanna test each other, pull and push a bit!

This is all normal behavior. When you have an entire family of alphas, you gotta manage it. But if there is one thing out of millions of subjects that he is a master of, it is the innerworkings of his family, THE Don Callis Family! Takeshita and Okada are just fine, and why? Because they take direction from Callis, and they wanna please Callis! And what pleases him is unity, is harmony, is title belts! They’ve got belts out the wazoo! If you don’t believe that, tune in this Wednesday, because he is announcing now that they will hold a Don Callis Family Summit! And Callis promises, he’ll get a Nobel Peace Prize, just you watch.

Callis leaves, but is he right? Is this just typical family dysfunction? Or is this “sibling rivalry” about to tear the family apart?

Backstage interview with The Outrunners.

Collision returns as Lexy is now with Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum, and surprise! Dalton Castle, too! They’ve been undefeated, but what is the secret to that success? Truth says everybody the world over wants to know how they got on such a roll. They wanna know the ingredients in their secret sauce, but Truth’s got three words for ya: Tell ’em, Turb! Turbo says okay, you want him to tell ya? He shouldn’t tell ’em, Castle’s been waiting worldwide to tell ’em! But then Anthony Bowens and Max Caster are arguing so loudly off camera that it interrupts! Bowens and Caster are both upset at the other, each accusing the other of stalking!

Castle says hello, what’s going on? Rude! They’re talking over here! Even though Bowens’ framed magazine covers are really good. But put a sock in it, okay? Put a sock in what?! Caster says Bowens really is too loud, Bowens says Caster is loud AND inconsiderate! They both leave from here, and Castle says time to take it from the top. Lexy says no, this is live. Oh. Well, uh, they’ve never felt MORE alive! YEAH~! Castle says THAT is the secret to their success! #Castlerunners heads out, but will they keep that roll going? Will the not Acclaimed ever figure out how to just get along?

Hook w/ Eddie Kingston VS Griff Garrison w/ The Frat House!

The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil has been victorious alongside Eddie Kingston, he’s a former FTW Champion, and he impressed Samoa Joe greatly in their previous AEW World Championship match. But will Hook have all the momentum going into that Fright Night Four Way Fight? Or will the Ivy League MVP pass the test that is facing Hook?

The bell rings and the fans fire up behind Hook already. They tie up, Griff waistlocks, but Hook waistlocks and SLAMS Griff down. Hook facelocks, Griff wrenches out, and Griff wristlocks. Hook wrenches, shoots in, and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Griff flounders out, his Frat brothers coach him up, but the fans cheer Hook. Griff storms in, pie faces Hook, but Hook drop toeholds! And he crossface forearms Griff again and again! Hook puts Griff in a corner, CLUBS away on him, but Jameson gets on the apron! The ref reprimands, Jameson hops down, but now Cole Karter gets on the apron! Hook swipes at Karter, but Griff CLUBS Hook!

The fans boo but Griff fires body shots. Griff whips corner to corner, runs in, and STINGER SPLASHES! Then he runs to BOOT Hook down! The fans boo but Griff soaks up the heat. Eddie coaches Hook, Griff ROLLING- NO, Hook dodges to LARIAT! And LARIAT! And then he shoots around, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and LEAPING FOREARMS! The fans fire up and Hook clinches Griff, EXPLODER! Griff flounders, but into the REDRUM! Griff TAPS, Hook wins!

Winner: Hook, by submission

And that is 15-0 on the year! Eddie backs the rest of the Frat down with a chair, allowing Hook to celebrate without disturbance. Will Hook now go on and win that golden ticket to Full Gear? Or will even Hook struggle to overcome Lashley, Ricochet and Samoa Joe?

Olympia speaks.

“Mercedes! I want the CMLL Women’s World Championship. You told me where I could find you, and here I am at your house, AEW, obtaining my first victory. See you next week on Collision, to reclaim what belongs to the Amazonians!” Olympia has called out #TwelveBeltsMone, will she bring Mone back down to eleven? Or will The CEO and her Money Train run over the Goddess of Powerlifting?

We hear from Jamie Hayter & Queen Aminata, but also the Sisters of Sin.

The Southampton Slugger says she and the One True African Queen are worlds apart, but they’re cut from the same cloth. And they didn’t team together just for show. They came together under the mutual understanding that they have each other’s back. And that is why they are in this tag team tournament, and why they’re in it to win it. If it means taking your damn head off, then so be it! But Julia Hart says “Manifestation is an art. It takes a strong mind and a bold heart.” Skye Blue says, “If it wasn’t for us, there wouldn’t even be tag titles for you all the fight over. Sisters of Sin come for the win, with belts around our waist, even if we have to lay out an entire women’s division.”

Jamie points out that Sisters of Sin are stepping into the ring with two of the hardest hitters here! This won’t be a cake walk! Hayter & Aminata WILL be AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions! But will Hayter & The Queen trump Skye & The Princess of the Black Throne? Or will choosing the Sisters of Sin as their first opponents haunt them for the rest of their lives?

Do you have a gambling problem? Call 1-800-522-4700. In fact, maybe Matt should get his brother Nick to call that number, because it sure feels like he has a problem.

Winners: Jurassic Express & JetSpeed, by pinfall (win the $400,000 prize)

The Bucks freak out and Stoke is furious, their desperate gamble falls out from under them! And since Jurassic Express already won $500K last week, they’re gracious enough to let JetSpeed have the full $400K from this week. Though Jack does give a $100 donation to The Broke Bucks Foundation, aka Nick directly. But BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan! All these teams fought for green tonight, but now they’ll fight for some golden tickets! It’s a Fright Night Four Way Fight tag team style, the winners going on to challenge the AEW World Tag Team Champions at Full Gear! Will Jurassic Express, JetSpeed, FTR or The Desperate Bucks challenge #Brodido?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision, a lot of fun stuff though sorta like filler and leftovers to get us towards the next PPV. Fright Night is already pretty stacked with two great Fatal 4 Way matches. Hook of course beat Griff, but I doubt Hook wins the Fatal 4 Way. Hangman did at least say he wasn’t going to immediately attack Samoa Joe, so maybe the Fatal 4 Way will have a clean finish. But either way, pretty sure Joe wins the match and gets a rematch with Hangman. Then after an awesome 8 Man Tag main event, and an awesome win for the Faces, the Fatal 4 Way of these teams will be awesome stuff. I bet The Bucks win to face Brodido and possibly redeem themselves from all their other losses.

Very good promo from Hayter & Aminata as well as Skye & Julia to hype up their tag title tournament match. Good promo from TayJay with Miranda & Nixon, and I didn’t even recognize Tegan Nox with how she changed her hair. That’ll be a good tune-up match for TayJay, and I would think they win to also be ready for the tournament. Great match from Mina VS Thekla, and very good Heel win for Thekla. It gives great momentum to Skye & Julia, helps Thekla be poised for title matches after Full Gear, but could indicate Mina & Toni winning their first match in the tournament.

Very good match from Ace VS Keith, great win for Ace, but I feel like Bang Bang Gang is still aimless. For that matter, Castle & Outrunners are a trio but they’ve barely done anything. They got to be a funny part of the Not Acclaimed promo, but that was about it. Great stuff with Olympia answering the “Casting Call,” and a great display of her power in defeating Taya. Olympia VS Mone will be great stuff, but I feel like the Mone “downfall” won’t happen until after Full Gear when Kris finally gets her win over her. That is to say, Mone will retain, go on to Full Gear, and not defend the TBS Championship.

And great opening match from Pac VS Ishii, that naturally the Death Riders had to go and help Pac on. I’m still thinking Darby Allin & Conglomeration VS Death Riders is a Blood & Guts match in the making, perhaps with the caveat that Death Riders must disband if they lose. Cuz otherwise, this is gonna go on forever and we can’t have that, it already feels like it’s gone on too long.

My Score: 8.9/10
