This seems to be Collision's MO so far, cool way to separate the brands. We get the PWG-style high-octane lucha-flippy-stuff on dynamite and the more grounded, story-driven, slower paced stuff on this show. I personally love that AEW has tried to be a buffet of styles, I know some fans dislike the lack of focus but to me it's great cuz I can get a lil taste of everything if I so want. We're spoiled as fans in the modern day, honestly. Back in 2009 this was unfathomable.
