my thoughts from this weeks double Dynamite / Collision episode. #AEW #WrestleSky 🤼
I’m lucky to call myself a wrestling columnist. I’ve always kept a day job though and I’m often asked what I “do for a living.” When I mention my column, people seem bewildered.

I think pro-wrestling has tragically become misunderstood. Here’s why:

The question every wrestling fan dreads | You know it's fake, right?

AEW Dynamite 10.7.25 Match Ratings
It’s weirdly comforting to imagine that I’ve probably ran into someone from the internet
how long have you lived in Cville?
business as usual for the Hangman. the ace of the world doing ace shit. what a phenomenal match, making great use of MJF’s stipulations

****1/2
Toni Storm delivering yet another standout performance on PPV. Match of the night thus far.

****
Vintage Okada performance. Leave it to Strickland to conjure that out of him.

Wardlow’s return was crazy. What a faction.

***3/4
The tag team championship match was strange. The rules were unclear. The run in was stupid. The finish was flatter than a plate of piss.

**1/2
I loved how AEW honored the legacies of Marty Jones and Johnny Saint. What a tremendous ode to the history of English wrestling.

The Windy Man strikes again. TMDK

***3/4
Mercedes Moné escapes with her title intact. Awesome match.

***1/2
I love the angle, here. Three rising stars trying to grab the brass ring and beat a legend in Moné.
I forgot to tweet the Fletcher/Takahashi rating because of the fatal fourway entrances.

It’s so cool to see a women’s mid-card championship receive this kind of spectacle, from an American promotion.
Kyle Fletcher vs. Hiromu Takahashi fucked. That was a lot of fun

***1/2
I really dug their finishing move, but (Adam I Lost My) Edge (Copeland) and Christian (Cage) left a lot to be desired.

**3/4
I know this isn’t a hot take, but Bullet Club needs to die. They’re not just beating a dead horse anymore. They’re mutilating it.
We need a Women’s Blood & Guts match after Forbidden Door. Then, we need a Women’s Eliminator Tournament to take center stage. Multiple matches on Dynamite and Collision for multiple weeks, that can take this division in a new direction.
