Catching up now, definitely in on Bear Country, Two Big Guys is the only Tag Archetype they’re missing.

Also, I hope Skyler Moore has access to some Scott Norton tapes, her power offense is really fun compared to a lot of what the other Dark crew does.

They should do Bear Country vs Hobbs and Cage on Dark.

Just finishing the Tay Conti match and it’s wild that we’re just over a year since that slow motion sequence against Santana Garrett on NXT, such fun offense.

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


Darkthoughts

1) Sotheara Chuun vs Ricky Starks. Sotheara Chuun looks like a nice boy. Hobbs at ringside looks like he's ready to gently caress people up. I enjoyed Starks going for a Stinger Splash. Chuun has something but it needs to develop. Decent match, great Starks shirt.

2) Baron Black vs Brandon Cutler. I keep waiting for Baron Black to break out. He's clearly talented, but I couldn't tell you one thing he does in the ring. Black and Cutler's ring gear coordinate. Ooh, some fun holds and reversals here. They're not quite connecting though. I like Cutler's springboard elbow. He should use that as a secondary finisher.

3) KiLynn King vs Hikaru Shida. King looks like she belongs here, which is good. Wow, King goes LOW on that knuckle lock. King gets some good moves in, but inevitably this is a Shida showcase. I do enjoy King's increased confidence. Loved the dodge of the running knee strike but nobody kicks out of the Falcon Arrow. Oh poo poo, ABADON. We get the necessary footage of Abadon hitting her finisher on Shida. Good match becomes good segment, give King something to do.

The Waiting Room. Loved Leyla in the crowd refusing to applaud. Love Reba's cue cards. Things are chaotic fun and then Scorpio Sky throws Spears THROUGH A WALL. okay, sure.

4) Jurassic Express vs "The Captain" Shawn Dean and Fuego Del Sol. Love Shawn's ring gear. Loved Jurassic Express discovering cameras. God, Jungle Boy is so incredibly good. The match is a little stilted, but there's lots of fun to be had here.

5) Leva Bates vs Skyler Moore. Thunder Rosa on commentary! Awesome! Moore looks good here, Leva looks like Leva here. Excalibur does some good feeding into stuff about Britt Baker. Commentary were paying about as much attention to the match as I was.

6) Brian Cage vs VSK. VSK vs Cage, if you weel. He has his flying boots on tonight. Lots of neat power moves and midair reversals. Match goes longer than I thought, and VSK looks pretty good in it, but the result is inevitable.

7) Louis Valle and Mike Magnum vs The Acclaimed. Rap was a bit of a stinker this week. Thankfully the match that followed is solid. Valle's missile dropkick looked at bit weird. The rack / dropkick spot was pretty awesome.

8) Anna Jay vs Dani Jordyn. I like that Jordyn is showing a lot more character these days. She's about to get murdered. Absolutely love Day Off Colt Cabana. "number 99 of the kids next door" was funny. This is a good match. Jordyn is kinetic and Jay is a killer. Ending is inevitable, but getting there was fun.

9) Bear Country vs Dark Order. Pretty Peter Avalon on commentary. They didn't let Bear Country use their bear trap masks. Thankfully. But they look like beasts. I want to watch Boulder and Grayson forever. Just power of one kind hitting power of another. Dark Order are one of the great tag teams of all time. OH poo poo! THAT CATCH OF STU WITH UNO ON BOULDER'S SHOULDERS! gently caress! and a running powerbomb of Grayson into Uno. drat, these guys look good. gently caress, that backbreaker from Grayson. This match was loving awesome.

Is Santana actually saying "dat rear end" during the Little Bit Of The Bubbly ad?

10) Ryzin and Sean Maluta vs Bad Romance. I love Ryzin's gear. Okay, what the gently caress was that Janela / Maluta bottom buckle move? That was insane. Bad Romance looked great here.

11) Tay Conti vs Freya States. Freya is physically formidable. If she can tighten the ring game she would be a great bully heel. Tay's look is fantastic tonight. Tay really laying in her strikes here. Match could use just a little smoothing, but everything both women were doing looked good. Jumping knee strike in the corner was fantastic. And while it took a moment to lock in, Tay's submission finisher was great.

We could use more multi-woman matches on Dynamite, to give more people visibility.

12) Danny Limelight vs Matt Sydal. I like Sydal now. He's a solid talent who is happy to wrestle. This match is really good. Just an excellent exchange from two talented junior heavyweights. Limelight is just so drat agile. The rope jump clothesline was outstanding. I liked this match a lot.

13) Kaci Lennox vs Ivelisse. Lennox has a good look, and potential but is fundamentally dominated here. The match is generally pretty good. Lennox has a few points where things don't quite come together, but her comeback offense is really solid. Ivelisse's finisher looked a bit weird, I couldn't quite tell who was meant to be in the hold.

14) Chaos Project vs Best Friends. Snakem'n and Pointm'n are the best. But perhaps not friends. This is wild in the best way. Trent's spear attempt that just shot past Luther who was standing there looked absolutely awesome. Weapontico continues to be the best spot. This is not, in technical terms, a great match, but it's incredibly good fun.

This was a fun show.

I still need to watch snake’em and point’em but last night was fun, as that show always is. Highlights were the Cage match, Bear Country vs DO (Stu with the back breaker was the craziest part of a match with very cool power moves), Joey just murking Maluta in the corner and then Rizin on the outside, another solid Acclaimed performance, the captain and fuego, Limelite vs Sydal, and King, Shida, Anna Jay, Dani Jordyn and Tay Conti who are all awesome. Jordyn in particular looks soooooo much better than when she started. I’d have to go back but it seems like she’s really trimmed down over the summer and fall, and she’s also just starting to show so much more personality. I wasn’t a fan originally but think she’s great now.

8 and a half matches I really enjoyed (I thought conti’s opponent was no bueno and that Conti carried that match), and the other ones were just acceptable to good actually.

I hope they do something with Bear Country, obviously, but also the up and coming women (King and Jordyn in particular), Dean and Fuego, VSK, and especially Limelight , who feels way too good to be a jobber on Dark.

I really like Bear Country but how do you even add another team to this division without them getting lost in the shuffle?

They bring something unique to the division. They have had some guys on dark with that kind of bigger fat guy monster look but these guys just do it better. I don’t think a team like that gets lost at all.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Yeah, for all the 800 tag teams in AEW, most of them can be called flippy teams, some of them technical teams, some of them brawling teams. They don't have anyone else who quite wrestles like Bear Country

Lead Pipe Cinch

Yeah, they have a strong Natural Disasters 2K20 vibe that no one else in the division has right now. You can also keep’em visible out of the title hunt by making them part of a trio. Don’t know why, but I could see them working well with Lance Archer with a force of nature rather than heel/face alignment.

If they ever get the trios division going they can have a bunch of their current tag teams reformat into trios teams and open up space for new tag teams.

Surely it's time to augment Dani Jordyn's character with a promo. She actually does a good job of getting the gimmick over with body language and mannerisms but it could really use her Regina George-ing it up on The Waiting Room or something.

I hope it's not because she can't talk, because I like her a lot. I should probably watch mean girls at some point.

Dani Jordyn seems born to be Britt’s smaller, more competent goon if they decide to start building more alliances in the women’s division.

It was a long time before KiLynn had her first promo package, and I'm not sure Lee Johnson has had one yet. I wouldn't mind if they had a few more promos on Dark, they're very sparing with them. If Dani ever does get to talk I expect we'd start seeing her win pretty soon after..
