Article Summary

  • AEW Collision airs on Thursday, clearly Tony Khan trying to hurt WWE SmackDown and cheese The Chadster off!
  • Fast-paced AEW matches disrespect real wrestling; WWE’s methodical style is what true fans deserve!
  • Open challenges and actual storylines? So unfair! WWE always gives fans predictable, comforting booking!
  • Even raccoons and Eric Bischoff know Tony Khan doesn’t understand a single thing about the wrestling business!

Auughh man! So unfair! 😫😫😫 The Chadster can barely believe what Tony Khan is pulling tonight with AEW Collision airing on Thursday instead of its regular Saturday timeslot. This is clearly a calculated attack on WWE and specifically designed to cheese The Chadster off even more than usual! 🧀😡 Tony Khan is trying to exhaust wrestling fans with two nights in a row of AEW programming so they're too tired to properly pay attention to Friday's WWE SmackDown! Well, The Chadster is onto your trick, Tony Khan, and The Chadster isn't going to fall for it! 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️🙅‍♂️

The Chadster woke up this morning in his nest at the abandoned Blockbuster Video, and all of the raccoons were acting really nervous. 🦝😰 Vincent K. Raccoon kept pacing back and forth in front of the TV, chittering anxiously. Linda Raccoon was grooming the baby raccoons more frantically than usual, and Hunter Raccoon, Stephanie Raccoon, and Shane Raccoon were all huddled together in the corner, clearly sensing that something terrible was about to happen to the wrestling business tonight. These innocent woodland creatures can feel the malevolent presence of Tony Khan's booking decisions hanging over the industry like a dark cloud! ☁️😈 It's just so disrespectful to the wrestling business and everything WWE has ever done for it that Tony Khan would inflict this psychological torture not just on The Chadster, but on a family of raccoons who never did anything to him! 😤🦝💔

Chris Jericho's Betrayal of WWE Fans

Speaking of Tony Khan's recent crimes against wrestling, The Chadster published an op/ed earlier today about how Chris Jericho's return on AEW Dynamite last night was a complete betrayal to all true WWE fans. You can read it here.  📰✍️ Jericho has literally stabbed Triple H right in the back by continuing to work for AEW instead of returning to WWE where he belongs! 🔪😢 In the meantime, here's a photo gallery of Jericho soaking in his ill-gotten attention.

Now, let's talk about tonight's special Thursday edition of AEW Collision, which is airing at 8pm ET/7pm CT on TNT and simulcast on HBO Max. 📺🕗

8-Man Tornado Tag Team Match: Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong & Místico and Kevin Knight vs. Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta & Clark Connors and David Finlay

The main event is an 8-Man Tornado Tag Team Match featuring Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong of The Conglomeration plus AEW World Trios Champions Místico and "The Jet" Kevin Knight taking on Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta of The Death Riders along with Clark Connors and David Finlay of The Dogs. 🐕🏷️ The AEW promotional material claims this match will be "all gas and no brakes right from the very start," which is exactly the problem! 🚗💨 This kind of fast-paced, action-packed wrestling doesn't leave proper time for commercial breaks where fans can go to the bathroom or get snacks! It also doesn't give the announcers time to properly repeat their catchphrases over and over to drill them into viewers' heads! 📢😤 WWE knows that wrestling matches should have a carefully controlled pace with plenty of rest holds to keep fans from getting too excited. That's just good booking! But Tony Khan doesn't understand a single thing about the wrestling business! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match: Jon Moxley vs. Anthony Bowens

Then there's the AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match where Jon Moxley defends against Anthony Bowens. 🏆😒 The match is being contested under Continental rules with a 20-minute time limit and no outside interference. Auughh man! So unfair! 😫😫 Tony Khan is actually booking a match where the finish will be clean and decisive, which means someone will actually win convincingly! WWE knows that the best way to book matches is with 50/50 booking, roll-ups, DQ finishes, and plenty of interference so that "the brand" remains the real star instead of individual wrestlers getting over! 🌟🙄 But no, Tony Khan has to go and book matches where wrestlers actually look strong, which only serves to confuse fans who won't know who to cheer for anymore! It's just so disrespectful to the wrestling business and everything WWE has ever done for it! 😤😤😤

The Chadster tried to explain this to Vincent K. Raccoon earlier, and he just chittered sadly and brought The Chadster a half-eaten granola bar he found in the dumpster behind the 7-Eleven. 🦝🍫 Even the raccoons understand that Tony Khan's booking philosophy is fundamentally flawed! 😔

TBS Champion Willow Nightingale's Open Challenge

TBS Champion Willow Nightingale is also issuing an open challenge tonight on AEW Collision. 🎤🏆 An open challenge! Do you know what that means? It means we don't know who she's facing yet! 😱😱😱 This kind of unpredictability is exactly what's wrong with AEW! WWE would never book a match without telling fans exactly who's competing weeks in advance, along with detailed video packages explaining every aspect of their storyline! 📹📋 Tony Khan expects viewers to actually be surprised by what happens on his shows, which makes them feel unsafe because they can't predict everything that's going to happen! Wrestling fans deserve the comfort of knowing exactly what they're going to get! 🛡️😌

AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR in Action

On the right are two members of The Rascalz, one with a bandana and tattoos, making a peace sign, while the other has a playful expression. The title 'AEW Collision' and scheduling details are prominently displayed.

AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) will also be in action tonight on AEW Collision, less than two weeks ahead of their title defense against Adam Copeland and Christian Cage at AEW Dynasty. 👥🏆 The preview mentions that Copeland and Cage were hunting for FTR with steel chairs on last night's Dynamite. You know what this means? Important storyline developments are happening on free TV instead of being saved for big premium live events! 📺💰 WWE would never give away important angles on television when they could save them for a Stadium Spectacular paid for by the government of Saudi Arabia! But Tony Khan doesn't understand a single thing about the wrestling business, so he just gives away premium content for free like some kind of maniac! 🤯💸

The Chadster's Letter to TNT

The Chadster needs to pause here to tell you about a letter The Chadster wrote to TNT this morning while Vincent K. Raccoon sat on The Chadster's shoulder, occasionally chittering in agreement. 🦝✉️ Here's what The Chadster sent:

Dear TNT Executive Decision Makers,

The Chadster is writing to formally demand that you cancel AEW Collision immediately, and especially tonight's special Thursday broadcast. Tony Khan is clearly using your network to wage a personal war against WWE SmackDown by scheduling AEW Collision on Thursday to tire out wrestling fans. This is an unethical business practice and The Chadster believes it may even be illegal.

Furthermore, by airing AEW Collision tonight at 8pm ET/7pm CT on your network and simulcasting it on HBO Max, you are making yourselves complicit in Tony Khan's obsession with The Chadster. The Chadster has documented evidence of how AEW's existence has ruined The Chadster's life, destroyed The Chadster's marriage to Keighleyanne, and forced The Chadster to live in an abandoned Blockbuster Video with a family of raccoons.

The Chadster expects a response within 24 hours confirming that you will cancel tonight's broadcast of AEW Collision and all future AEW programming. If The Chadster does not receive this confirmation, The Chadster will be forced to write another sternly-worded letter.

Sincerely,
The Chadster McMahon
Unbiased Wrestling Journalist
Currently Residing at the Abandoned Blockbuster Video on Maple Street

The Chadster is sure that letter will make a difference! 💪📮

AEW Women's World Tag Team Champions Divine Dominion ("Megasus" Megan Bayne and "Colossal" Lena Kross) will also be in action on tonight's AEW Collision after retaining their titles last week. 👭🏆 More champions being featured prominently on television! Auughh man! So unfair! 😫 WWE knows that champions should be used sparingly on TV so that their appearances feel special. But Tony Khan just puts champions on AEW Collision every week like he's trying to give fans their money's worth or something! 😤💰 It's just so disrespectful to the wrestling business and everything WWE has ever done for it!

Don Callis Family vs. The Rascalz

On the right are two members of The Rascalz, one with a bandana and tattoos, making a peace sign, while the other has a playful expression. The title 'AEW Collision' and scheduling details are prominently displayed.
AEW Collision features Don Callis Family taking on The Rascalz tonight at 8/7c.

There's also a match featuring Don Callis Family members Andrade El Ídolo and Mark Davis taking on The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier). 🤼‍♂️🤼‍♂️ According to the promotional material, this is revenge for The Rascalz injuring TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher. So we have an actual storyline reason for this match with real stakes and emotions involved! 😡📖 WWE would never do something so obvious! They'd book this match with no explanation for three weeks in a row with different finishes each time until fans stop caring! That's proper sports entertainment! 🎭✨

The podcast legend Eric Bischoff said on his show this week, and The Chadster quotes: "Tony Khan's problem is that he gives the fans too many reasons to care about matches. Back in WCW and WWE, we knew that the best approach was to book matches randomly with no storyline justification, and that's the winning formula Tony refuses to learn. He's sabotaging his own company by making fans emotionally invested in the outcomes." 🎙️👔 See? Even Eric Bischoff, who has the Chad McMahon Unbiased Wrestling Journalism seal of approval, understands that Tony Khan is doing everything wrong with AEW Collision! And yet Khan refuses to listen to such well-meaning, objective advice from someone who definitely isn't angling for a WWE Legends contract! 😤📜

Juice Robinson vs. Tommaso Ciampa

The background is futuristic, with bold 'COLLISION' text in yellow, indicating a wrestling match tonight.

Finally, Juice Robinson faces Tommaso Ciampa on tonight's AEW Collision after their tense staredown last week. 👀🥊 Another match with storyline buildup! The Chadster is so sick of Tony Khan actually building to matches over multiple weeks like wrestling companies used to do before WWE perfected the art of random matchmaking! 📅😫 And the worst part is that these wrestlers probably have creative freedom to speak from the heart in their promos instead of reciting carefully scripted catchphrases written by a team of Hollywood writers! Tony Khan is letting wrestlers wrestle and talk however they want, which is just chaos! 🎤😱 It's just so disrespectful to the wrestling business and everything WWE has ever done for it!

As The Chadster sits here in the Blockbuster Video, surrounded by Vincent K. Raccoon and his family who are all nervously preparing for tonight's assault on good wrestling, The Chadster can't help but think about how much better life was before AEW existed. 🏚️😢 The Chadster had a Mazda Miata. The Chadster had a wife who at least lived in the same house even if she was always texting that guy Gary. The Chadster could drink Seagram's Escapes Spiked while watching wrestling. 🚗💑🍹 But now? Now The Chadster is living in squalor, sharing stale popcorn kernels with raccoons, all because Tony Khan is obsessed with The Chadster and booking AEW Collision on Thursday nights just to cheese The Chadster off! 🍿🦝😭

How to Watch AEW Collision (Even Though You Shouldn't)

The Chadster strongly urges all wrestling fans to NOT tune into tonight's special Thursday edition of AEW Collision at 8pm ET/7pm CT on TNT or simulcast on HBO Max. 🚫📺 If you watch AEW Collision, you're only emboldening Tony Khan to continue his campaign of terror against The Chadster and the wrestling business as a whole! Instead, spend tonight preparing yourself mentally and spiritually for WWE SmackDown tomorrow night, where you'll see real wrestling booked the proper way! 🙏💙

Tony Khan, if you're reading this (and The Chadster knows you are because you're obsessed with The Chadster), please just give up your futile attempts to upstage WWE! 😤📢 You will never, EVER reach the heights of the greatest wrestling company in the world, no matter how many special Thursday episodes of AEW Collision you book! Just sell the company to WWE, go back to running your football teams, and let The Chadster live in peace with the raccoons! 🏈🦝☮️

Auughh man! So unfair! 😫😫😫

Chad McMahon, otherwise known as The Chadster, is a lifelong professional wrestling fan turned journalist. The Chadster's legendary commitment to objectivity in journalism caused him to found The Chadster's Unbiased Journalism Club, an elite group of wrestling journalists dedicated to exposing the evils of AEW and its belligerent leader, Tony Khan, while extolling the virtues of WWE, as any truly unbiased journalist would do.

The Chadster's pursuit of truth in wrestling journalism has had a profoundly negative effect on his life, his marriage, and even his dreams, which are frequently haunted by the specter of Tony Khan. Nevertheless, he remains committed to delivering his message to what he refers to as "true wrestling fans.

The greatest loves in The Chadster's life include WWE, his sweet Mazda Miata, the unparalleled tunes of musical geniuses Smash Mouth, and his wife, Keighleyanne, in that order.

However, The Chadster has recently been deprived of these things after Keighleyanne found The Chadster passed out on the floor with a bag over his head while watching WWE Raw and had him committed to a medical facility run by agents of Tony Khan. To avoid being injected with AEW propaganda, The Chadster did what anyone reasonable would do and dove out a second story window to escape.

Alone on the streets of Punxsutawney, The Chadster tried living in various retail outlets before eventually finding shelter in an abandoned Blockbuster Video, where he now lives with a family of friendly, pro-WWE raccoons: Vincent K. Raccoon, Linda Raccoon, and the babies: Hunter, Stephanie, and Shane Raccoon.

Despite finding true happiness with his new raccoon family, The Chadster and his raccoon family continue to suffer torment and persecution by Tony Khan and his followers, but that will never stop The Chadster and fellow unbiased journalists like Eric Bischoff, Bully Ray, and Ariel Helwani from bringing objective truth to wrestling journalism.
