Remaining in Huntsville, Alabama, AEW Collision this week offers the whole spectrum of the promotion’s wrestling buffet. A dash of comedy perhaps, with The Learning Tree facing off against The Outrunners.<\/p>\n
The 3-way TNT Championship match puts three unique technical hybrid wrestlers into a war of attrition. \u201cTimeless\u201d Toni Storm will bring drama and there\u2019s both nostalgia and blood with the Mid-South Street Fight.<\/p>\n
At the least, AEW Collision is going to get a little action in.<\/p>\n
Segments Announced:<\/strong><\/p>\n When AEW does violence, it can be a bloody splendour of a masterpiece<\/a>. Or it invertedly looks staged or sports entertainment-like. The Death Riders have ridden that fine line and stepped on both sides of it.<\/p>\n Attempts at kidnapping FTR and The Rock N Roll Express have felt, for some, more attitude than threatening. Yet, it was not that long ago that some fans questioned a 12-man tag match that, overall, turned into a pretty fun main event encounter.<\/p>\n Also, which teams in AEW are more suited to live up to the expectations of a Mid-South-themed match? For those unfamiliar\/needing a refresher, Bill Watt\u2019s Mid-South had a reputation for sports-centered and realistic storytelling and violence. It blurred the lines of kayfabe.<\/p>\n FTR\u2019s old-school mentality and work fit the stipulation like a loaded black glove on Ted DiBiase\u2019s hand. Likewise, Jon Moxley is a killer. Moxley also has put on brutal realistic action with FTR in the past.<\/p>\n Add Wheeler Yuta, who is no stranger to blood or scrapping, and this could be the upturn in the bell curve some need to get back into this storyline. There will likely be involvement from a range of others. As if the Death Riders are going to let this one play out fairly.<\/p>\n The implications ahead for Grand Slam and beyond could be made in the outcome of this one.<\/p>\n Giving Nicholas Cage a run for his money and outdoing \u201cLost in Cleveland\u201d, we learned that Toni Storm\u2019s amnesia was a ruse! The performance of a lifetime that, in many respects, deserves an Emmy nod alongside that other show like Succession where his family is fighting over a necklace.<\/p>\n In all seriousness, \u201cTimeless\u201d Toni Storm\u2019s re-emergence was a masterpiece. The highlight of last week\u2019s Collision. However, while the reveal was the talking point, Mariah May still got the beating in on Storm in the first place.<\/p>\n Storm is still not at full strength.\u00a0A character who took so much workshopping<\/a> has developed into an icon. Storm is now truly timeless but we, as the audience, want more.<\/p>\n With weeks to go before Grand Slam, what else is there to say? What else does Storm need? What other body parts is Storm going to threaten to dismantle?<\/p>\n Do we get the return of the silent film? The black and white filter? Luther?<\/p>\n More? Well, we\u2019re going to get it.<\/p>\n More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/p>\n Header photo \u2013 AEW \u2013 Stay tun<\/em>ed to the\u00a0Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a> for more on AEW Collision and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
