6 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Collision (March 16 - Results & Review)
PAC returns; AEW puts on an in-ring scorcher; Adam Copeland reveals "Spike".
SPOILER ALERT! If you only fancy watching one match from this week's episode of AEW Collision, then make it Bryan Danielson vs. Katsuyori Shibata. On paper, the bout looked tasty. On TV, it was f'n delicious to take in. That'll come as no shocker to those enjoying Bryan's quest to potentially wind down his epic career with some world class scraps.
Shibata more than held up his end of the bargain though - he wasn't in Ottawa to be a human punching bag for someone else. Impressively, one got the sense these two could've taken things up another notch if they'd so wished. Right, more gushing to come about that match soon, but it wasn't the only thing Collision had to offer.
PAC returned, Kyle O'Reilly worked his first match for nearly two years, Adam Copeland did his best Mick Foley impersonation, Daniel Garcia continued bouncing back, and Julia Hart defended her TBS Title in a refreshing scenario that actually had stakes. On the whole, this was a well thought out edition of AEW's Saturday night show.
Downers came in the form of a puzzling mini-feud for the Blackpool Combat Club, a strange choice of main event and Tony Khan's awkward decision to creatively neuter one of his freshest heels.
Here's all the good and bad!
