AEW Collision 10-21-23 and Battle of the Belts

We're starting off with the dream match of Danielson vs. Andrade and his new mask is a killer. Bryan outworks him on the mat and Andrade gives him his props. Gorgeous long collar and elbow tieup too. God, this is such a great technical battle. Danielson's backflip counter works until he eats a big flying forearm. Split-legged moonsault gets 2 for Idolo!

Danielson goes for the kneeling kicks, but eats a pair of dragon screw legwhips! Figure 4/8 attempt into the LeBell Lock leads to the ropes for Idolo. Corner backstabber into the basement knees by Andrade! They go back and forth on cradles and Danielson wins in 20 minutes. Fantastic match! The lights go out and MALAKAI TAKES OUT DANIELSON WITH THE END!

They hype up Sting's gift from TK and Nigel hopes it isn't Robocop again before Skye Blue beats the shit out of Hollyhood Haley and beats her quickly. Hollyhood would be getting "she's a crack whore" chants in ECW with her look.

The Gunn Clubb faces THE OUTRUNNERS! Gunns win quickly with 3:10 to Yuma. THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND IT'S THE DEVIL MASK! Lexy interviews OC and Kris does reps with her. Jarrett vs. Kingston with DAVE BROWN ON COMMENTARY IS HERE! Tons of brawling here before a WHOOP THAT TRICK chant. Lethal sends Kingston through a table near the ramp. Every TNA hardcore match ever breaks out until Singh hits a chokeslam, JJ hits a stroke and the Lethal Injection hits for the win.

CJ's out for the Miro-Andretti match with a big intro. Miro tosses him around ringside and CJ claps for Andretti in theory. Brief hope spot off a DDT, but Game Over ends it. Ruby faces Shida on Dynamite. Kingston cuts a shockingly great promo even by his standards on loving Jay Lethal and his family, but being disappointed because he's gonna have to beat Jay's ass in front of his mother and his mother will cry knowing he deserves the beating.

FTR squash but the HOB beats them up. Battle of the Belts is hyped up. Starks and Bill face Claudio and Yuta next. Claudio runs a-fuckin-muck with lariats, uppercuts Old School and MORE UPPERCUTS! Big powerbomb gets 2 on Yuta before the SWING TIME AND DROPKICK HITS! HOB runs in and a spear and roshambo ends it for Starks! Danielson gets beaten down and FTR does too before MOX RETURNS! And another WHOOP THAT TRICK chant! Strarks comes in and eats a parade of finishers when the HOB leaves him high and dry. Claudio swinging Starks to "Wild Thing" is surreal - this was a great night for him.

A brief break has the BCC leave before OC comes out and gets slapped around by Mox. Recap of OC vs Silver in the past, which is good because I have zero memory of that. Silver dominates on the floor for a bit. OC recovers and runs wild with kneeling kicks to the thick pecs! Silver gets the airplane spin drop, but it only gets 2 and the Orange Punch ends it! Lexy chats with Andrade and says nothing until CJ interrupts him. Mark Sterling chats about how stupid Memphians are before hyping up Tony Nese. Nese calls for some GROUP TRAINING and Joe is like nah dude. Joe massacres him in a minute and wins with a muscle buster. Joe tells MJF is that he's giving him the gift of foresight because he's coming for the gold.

Kris and Willow have a fun match for the TBS Title - a bit of a babyface vs. babyface, but with Kris working character heel. Kris eats a corner charge, but rebounds with a somersault senton. AVALANCHE AA BY WILLOW GETS 2.9! CHOKE BY WILLOW!? Corner bomb by Kris and the 450 HITS FOR THE WIN! Kris wants a handshake and Skye runs out and says no. Willow shakes and Skye is out with a BITE ME shirt.

OC AND OKADA FACE DANIELSON AND CLAUDIO ON DYNAMITE! Trios tag title match sees the faces scissor Grizz. Garcia dances and undoes their good luck and loses.
