Stop calling screen plays on 3rd & long & throwing goal line fade patterns to receivers under 6' tall.

Last night in Buffalo at separate shows, Mastodon dedicated In The Ruins & Thrice dedicated Red Sky in honor of Andy Williams. Great to see the continued support from these bands. 🩵

i teared up writing my final analysis for #AEWCollision

This was a great main event match with. a lot of emotion behind it.
Garcia winning was the right call here, but in all honesty, the real winner here is everyone here who fought in memory of Andy Williams, a dear friend to all.

As for the rest of the show, this was a great, great show that was a tremendous celebration of the life of one of the coolest people around in Andy "The Butcher' Williams, and the men and women who wrestled tonight went above and beyond to do his memory right by working their asses off in that ring. Between the Rebel Heart Dynamite a few days ago and tonight's Butcher Tribute Collision, doing these special shows in honor of friends in need of help or who've passed on is never easy, but the AEW talent featured tonight did so beautifully, putting on a show that Andy Williams would've been proud of.

Last week, in my Sunday Night's Main Event recap, I spoke about how the wrestling and music world came together to speak about the kind of warm, gentle giant that Andy Williams was. Whether it was in the ring or shredding with his band Every Time I Die, Williams always put his best foot forward. Not only that, he was a man widely regarded by many as someone who could be one of the sweetest people around, despite his intimidating appearance. A true definition of "never judge a book by its cover" if there was one.

I think one of the best ways we can honor Andy Williams' memory is to be that gentle, kind person with a big heart. The world is a cruel place, with many things designed to grind us into despair, but as long as we have people like Andy Williams in our world, that hope for better will never die. As I said last week, never take the love your friends or family have for you for granted. Tell them how much they mean to you.

Please take care of yourself, and each other.

Struggling a bit now after the ending of Collision. Treat everyone like The Butcher would.

Whenever we ran into each other, we seemed to have an instant connection, whether it was about wrestling, music and even my health issues. Just an awesome, incredibly cool dude. I don't know if I ever met a nicer person in wrestling who truly cared and looked to help elevate everyone around them.
