It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


Darkthoughts

Commentary is Anthony a-go-go tonight

1) Tesha Price vs Big Swole. Price has a good look, let's see if she has more than that. Technical start, which breaks down nicely when Tesha lands a cheeky slap. Match gets a bit scrappy, but I didn't see anything from Price that looked bad. Swole's upped her technical skills, but that tiger driver needs work.

2) Christopher Daniels vs Matt Sydal. I like the acknowledgement of their history. Sydal points at his head, Chaos Project membership confirmed. I sort of appreciate that Sydal has worked with the fact that there's a billion flippy dudes now and broadened and nuanced what he does. Love seeing Daniels get some submission stuff in too. If they see a future for Sydal in AEW as more than just an attraction, I think he'd pair very well with TH2 as a stable. TH3: Team Synthetic Weed. The ending is nicely nuanced

3) Brandon Cutler vs Michael Nakazawa. Cutler's ring gear remains absolutely awesome. He looks more confident than before. Octagon ball. This match is a good display of Cutler overcoming his greatest enemy, underconfidence. Loved the oily ropes spot where Brandon just goes round to another side. Well deserved win for Big Bran.

Frankie Kazarian promo where he says the things wrestlers say.

4) Griff Garrison vs Ariel Dominguez. Like the Dominguez fighter presentation. Griff needs new music now he's moving into the win column. The height difference here is hilarious. Is this a Marko Stunt warm-up? Griff is in the driving seat here, and as a result the match is pretty simple but not bad.

I LOVED Griff firing off shots on Archer. Great lion hearted babyface spot.

5) Sean Maluta and Ryzin vs Uno and Grayson. It's so nice that they spring for the time machine to keep bringing Ryzin here from 2003. Nice dynamic tag match. Grayson is just so superb at basically everything he does. Very much some guys just being fed to Uno and Grayson but this was fun.

6) Ricky Starks vs someone called Trevor. This match was over before I finished making coffee. Trevor needs to wear something under his trunks

7) Lee Johnson vs Chuck Taylor. Love Lee's copper tights. Nice little match, which is clearly an attempt to season up Lee quickly. Taylor was in control but Johnson was being given room to do some stuff which is good. Johnson is technically sound, but needs to go hard on the character. Young Lion works for a while but eventually you need more. God, that missile dropkick into tope combination absolutely rules. High five! Good match, now let's get to work, Lee.

Fun show.

He puts all his effort in there. Also his arms won't reach the other areas correctly due to all the muscles.
