5 Ups & 3 Downs For AEW Collision (Oct 14 - Results & Review)

Downs...

3. Technical Issues (AGAIN!)

Whether it was an AEW issue, a FITE issue, or something else entirely, a good chunk of the opening segment of this week's Collision was utterly unwatchable as a viewer who tuned in on FITE.

That segment saw Adam Copeland head to the ring... as the sound cut in and out, as the picture flickered or outright just went to black, and we briefly heard the Rated-R Superstar say something about the weather.

These issues seemed to have been rectified as Christian Cage came out, but they soon kicked in once again.

AEW can blame TBS, they can blame FITE, they can blame whomever, yet the fact that these issues still happen on such a regular basis is nauseating. Seriously, having such major problems in your opening segment would be enough to have some people simply turn Collision off.

It took nine minutes for these issues to finally be fixed, which is just unacceptable. When we could see and hear the exchanges between Copeland, Cage, Ricky Starks, Big Bill, Bryan Danielson and FTR, what we got was fine - especially the barbs thrown between Copeland and Starks - but the technical problems tarnished this entire segment.
