0:04
Hold on. Rock one, two,
0:07
and a two count.
0:09
Fast out of the gate. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
0:11
whoa.
0:11
Lands on the shoulders of Fletcher. He's
0:14
still got the Oh, had the advantage.
0:16
Didn't have the momentum though. Now
0:18
he's had it. Slides back. One, two,
0:21
and rolls up the TNT champ. This, of
0:24
course, the TNT championship on the line
0:26
in the open challenge.
0:30
Wow, look at that. He's just so
0:33
powerful. He this young man
0:37
just like
0:39
as we were heading of course to all out
0:42
like hangman Adam Paige says you could
0:44
be the future of this sport. Well, it
0:48
very nearly was all out and an
0:51
incredibly brutal, physically demanding
0:56
AW World tag team title match between
0:58
Carl Fletcher, who really shot his shot
1:01
against Hangman Adam Paige and Kane with
1:04
a whisker of taking the title.
1:10
So long, so
1:12
strong.
1:14
Lanky would not be a word to describe
1:16
him because take a look at the the power
1:19
in the legs.
1:21
You've got to be a good 6'5,
1:24
240 lbs, I would say. Moves like a
1:28
cruiserweight. That's one of the reasons
1:31
Don Callas scared him from a very early
1:34
age. Callas conspicuous. Here we go.
1:37
Cover one, two,
1:39
and a two count that time.
1:40
Conspicuous by his absence here. often
1:43
times he joins us at ringside
1:46
on commentary. From what I understand,
1:48
he's getting a new painting made after
1:51
what Orange Cassidy did this past week
1:53
on Dynamite. What a show of disrespect.
1:56
I mean, if someone had a painting made
1:58
for you, Tony. Well, I I think right now
2:01
Don is is scrambling knowing that Kenny
2:04
Omega is coming after him and
2:07
absolutely
2:08
return of Kenny Omega certainly has an
2:11
extra with this man
2:13
Fletcher as we saw
2:16
[Applause]
2:17
for a ringside table
2:22
before we saw the cleaner again.
2:26
Commander, former Ring of Honor
2:28
television champion
2:30
as is Fletcher. They have had some great
2:32
battles for that belt.
2:34
Here's a pick up. Look at this. Over the
2:36
top of Howard Fletcher.
2:39
Over the top and commander using the
2:42
approach to the springboard. Arm drag
2:44
take down
2:46
up on top
2:49
and a drop kick after that. Tiaris.
2:53
Look at Look at Commander. He is
2:55
determined.
2:56
Oh, wow. I mean, he really is.
3:00
And you know, a lot of this is based on
3:02
what happened right at the beginning of
3:03
the program. Understandably so.
3:10
Oh, look at the design response
3:13
protocol.
3:21
Spam now the ace of spades. Oh my god.
3:33
Commander who is taking Lucha Libé to
3:36
the next generation. Taken to the air
3:39
trying to but now caught by the TNT
3:43
champ. Watch out. We've got a spear
3:45
coming
3:53
Alex Abraas. cheering on this young man
3:57
living his dream
4:04
running
4:06
caught
4:08
one time too many absolutely
4:13
the bomb on the
4:17
far open in the ring pick up do it again
4:23
this match
4:24
continues on HBO Max and on TNT.
4:32
Jim Ross
4:34
commander may be broken in half.
4:38
You know, you said it right, Michael.
4:40
One time too many. He attempted
4:44
a commander.
4:45
Be the case though, isn't it? When
4:46
you're a highlight commander, that's
4:49
everything you know.
4:52
You keep going back to the well,
4:54
eventually that water is going to run
4:56
dry.
5:01
Just hovering over a falling commander.
5:06
You've got to love Carl Fletcher, right?
5:13
Such a commanding,
5:16
dominant presence.
5:18
[Music]
5:21
was able to have a little bit of fun
5:23
while he's about it.
5:25
Won't be much fun though as Big Bill and
5:27
Brian Keith come for some revenge as
5:30
they take on Eddie Kingston and the man
5:32
that saved Kingston from a brutal
5:35
postmatch attack.
5:39
[Music]
5:40
You see some of the matches still to
5:42
come in and this gigantic night of our
5:44
debut in Huntington, West Virginia,
5:47
home of Marshall University. You heard
5:50
drink match of the night. It will be
5:52
hater part three.
5:56
For whom will three be the magic number?
6:06
I think this kind of mistake by Todd.
6:08
Well, he was certainly wasting a lot of
6:11
time out there, but that time he is
6:13
conducting
6:15
West Virginia
6:19
like a symphony. Pick up
6:23
with these.
6:31
One, two. Just an arrogant,
6:34
disrespectful cover.
6:37
You're not really trying to beat
6:40
commander with that pinful attempt.
6:43
He really believes that he has this
6:46
match firmly in hand.
6:49
Alex Abraham answers.
6:52
Desperate look on his face on the
6:53
outside as he
6:56
really now realizes the danger that
7:00
Commander is in.
7:02
pick up
7:05
Santo suplex in
7:08
just a
7:10
sleeper hold applied here.
7:12
Oh, a rear chin lock of sorts.
7:15
It does not have the hand on top of the
7:17
head. And now he does.
7:22
Brandon Martinez checking in. This is
7:25
for the TNT Championship.
7:32
You're looking live in Huntington, West
7:34
Virginia, and we are on Collision. Tony
7:36
and Nigel, the TNT Championships on the
7:39
line between two former Ring of Honor
7:41
television champions, and of course, the
7:44
current TNT champ is Kyle Fletcher, the
7:46
photo star. Here comes Commander. Pick
7:50
up my Fletcher.
7:52
Commander, the second time Fletcher has
7:55
attempted that LA. The second time,
7:58
Commander has got the bed up. Whoa, here
8:01
we go. Up on top.
8:06
How about
8:08
Commander and fans, we do have
8:11
some breaking news to tell you that
8:14
Hologram has been injured.
8:17
It seems it's a serious injury. He's
8:19
going to be out for quite a while, so he
8:21
will not be able to go after the TNT
8:24
Championship on Wednesday. What does
8:26
that mean for tonight? We'll find out
8:29
here.
8:31
One, two. Oh, wow.
8:36
What an error in judgment it might be
8:39
for Carl Fletcher to attack Hologram. If
8:43
that is what fired Commander up to beat
8:47
him for the GT title here tonight, title
8:50
is on the line. Are we going to see an
8:53
upset? We could see Commander as the new
8:57
TNT champion. It could happen here
8:59
tonight.
9:01
Two young men are going at it. Fletch
9:02
your whole time as you can see to the
9:04
top row.
9:05
[Music]
9:07
Nearly died twice when he was born after
9:11
his mother prayed to God and said if his
9:13
son survived, he would do something with
9:15
his life.
9:18
Can you imagine? This is what she he
9:20
would do though. Wow.
9:22
Flatliner. I mean a flatliner
9:26
almost nose first
9:29
and now on the outside trying to will
9:34
commander
9:37
back to life
9:39
to shock his heart.
9:40
Don't forget next Saturday we are coast
9:42
to coast beginning at 7 Eastern, 4
9:44
Pacific for Collision right here on TNT
9:47
and HBO Max.
9:49
There we go.
9:50
We saw this before, but with no table on
9:52
the outside, maybe even more
9:54
devastating.
9:55
He's going for that brain buster of his.
9:59
Oh,
10:00
the inner thigh, so to speak. And
10:06
the pitcher's got one hand. This is it.
10:11
Oh
10:14
big kick rocks
10:20
[Music]
10:22
outside
10:25
the body camera saving him but still
10:28
getting the shot.
10:32
Here it is again. Just watch this.
10:35
Switching midair and moving object. Kyle
10:39
Fleer, the TNT champion, now flat on the
10:42
mat.
10:45
The chance for AEW here in West
10:49
Virginia. Are they feeling the upset? Is
10:52
it coming?
10:54
Fletcher gets to the corner. Picks up.
10:57
Oh, the man there. One, two. No.
11:04
That leaping mix driver
11:07
from Car Fletcher has paid dividends for
11:10
him, but not tonight.
11:13
This is a great match and this is for
11:16
the TNT Championship. You see what
11:19
athletes will do for this title.
11:24
Over the top Fledger made a mistake and
11:27
a drop kick keeps him on the floor.
11:29
Watch out.
11:31
They may be heading our way. That's
11:33
exactly what Commander's going to do.
11:39
[Applause]
11:41
A springboard
11:46
from the commander of the skies. Did you
11:48
see that commander
11:53
managed to as he was doing a move on the
11:57
way over killing two birds with one
11:59
stone and fans are standing in ringside
12:02
for this one as
12:04
looking for a little rest bite. He
12:06
doesn't realize he's not going to get it
12:07
over there. Commander, let's see if he
12:10
can hold his balance here.
12:13
Oh, smart move. Commander that shot.
12:18
Oh my god.
12:19
Covering
12:22
up
12:24
looking for one final nail in the
12:26
coffin. Down. We could be moments away
12:30
from the engine of the
12:32
ill.
12:36
[Applause]
12:41
Don't stop now. Take a look at this
12:43
great innovation adjusting midfly. Oh,
12:47
we were so close to a new champion here
12:49
on the legend
12:51
followed up with the 450 and now back to
12:54
his book of tricks.
12:58
Fletcher is flat.
13:02
Knees off by Fletcher.
13:05
Fletcher lured him in. Got the finger.
13:10
That's it. to chime very unlucky
13:19
and a pick up
13:22
monster.
13:25
One, two, three.
13:28
