2. A Timely Reminder Of Powerhouse Hobbs

Ahead of the ridiculously-titled Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name Street Fight on Dynamite next week, AEW Collision at least gave us a nice, brief reminder of what Powerhouse Hobbs is all about.

Having not been in action since decimating Chris Jericho a month ago, Hobbs made short work of Titus Alexander, putting the poor fella out of his misery after less than one minute. The bigger story here, though, was Big Willy going toe-to-toe with Paul Wight who was on commentary.

One could argue that opting to put Hobbs up against Wight makes the monstrous Will Hobbs look not quite so monstrous, but Powerhouse's demeanour and intensity made up for the obvious size difference between the two, with Hobbs largely refusing to back down from the giant.

Of course, this segment also served as being an excuse for Don Callis to grab some mic time, which he used to label his Callis Family as the greatest family in the history of wrestling, while also questioning Paul Wight's decision to team with Jericho, Kenny Omega, and Kota Ibushi.

Also, props to the woman who randomly screamed out that Don Callis looked like a hotdog.
