AEW COLLISION RESULTS (9/2/2023)
Ricky Starks Challenges Ricky Steamboat To ALL OUT
Tony Schiavone welcomes Ricky Starks to the ring. Starks says that he’s so tired of having to start over again, no matter how many times they try to use Starks, it doesn’t work. Starks is no doubt referring to his big match with CM Punk now clearly not happening since CM Punk got fired. Starks then turns his attention to Big Bill and says that he, like Starks, has overcome so much, including addictions, and he’s proud of both of them. Starks says he could cry right now he’s so upset, but he’s a man about it, and he’s going to do what he’s going to do. Starks now calls out Ricky Steamboat.
ENTER RICKY STEAMBOAT, WITH HIS WCW THEME!
Steamboat says he didn’t complain on social media, but he heard about this match, and now he’s here. Steamboat says he has a contract and presents it to Tony Schiavone. No disqualification, strap match, Ricky Starks vs. Ricky Steamboat. Starks signs the contract. Ricky Steamboat says everyone knows him as The Dragon, but there’s another Dragon.
THE AMERICAN DRAGON BRIAN DANIELSON IS HERE!
Danielson hits the ring and signs the contract! Ricky Starks is hilariously doing the sign of the cross as Danielson signs.
Jon Moxley says people called Orange Cassidy a cosplay wrestler, but who’s he cosplaying? He’s the winningest champion in the business. When you wrestle the greats, sometimes you win, sometimes they win, but this match is a once in a lifetime opportunity because Orange Cassidy is on the run of a lifetime. Moxley knows he’s won matches before the bell even rings, but Cassidy looks a hell of a lot like the real thing. Moxley is a technician of the highest order, he’s not going to target a knee, arm, leg, etc. Moxley is going to target the soul. When it’s going to get hard, will Cassidy look for a way out? A lot of people believe in you Orange Cassidy, don’t disappoint them.
