Elevated Darkthoughts 1) Adrian Alanis vs Jungle Boy. People LOVE them some Jungle Boy. And with good reason, he's as good here as he always is. Alanis is mostly reacting, but he looks good here. Couple of whiffed moves, but you could build Alanis up well if you had the desire to. 2) Aaron Solow vs Dustin Rhodes. I continue to love the QT throne steps. Dustin starts off dominant and fights Solow into the crowd. I get that Solow is the Factory designated pin-taker but I'd like to see him get more here. Some nice shenanigans with the Factory being ejected, a couple of nice bits of Solow offense. Once it gets into an actual uninterrupted singles match, this is really good. Dustin stops wrestling Solow like he's a brat and starts treating him like a man. There is some great athletic stuff here, Solow's leaping double stomp was great. The bullrope spot at the end worked very well too. The post match with Comoroto was great too. I kind of want the Factory to rack up more wins in this feud. 3) Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston vs Royce Isaacs and Danny Limelight. No "Wild Thing" here. God, Limelight is so good. Just smooth and athletic and great to watch. Him vs Kingston was really nice. Isaacs is a quarter step behind, but I like his ground game. I love Mox and Kingston squabbling. Holy mother of God, that leaping DDT from Limelight was astounding. This was a super fun little tag match. Lance and Jake promo. I love the Sting stuff in there. 4) Lance Archer vs Bear Bronson. Things are about to get beefy. Very hard hitting, lots of strong style strike exchanges. Both of these guys are good in the air too, so I'm waiting for them to get there. The match heats up very well, and for a surprisingly long time Bronson is not just in contention but occasionally dominant. This was very good. Honk interview. Nice and sincere. The thrown away "little brother" line was nice. 5) Leyla Hirsch vs Natalia Markova. Little sloppy at the start as they feel each other out, but it gets good when Leyla starts spamming suplexes. 6) Page and Sky vs Kaelyn Branden and Trevor Jordan. I like Branden and Jordan's gear and their swagger. Jordan has some good moves. Page is starting to really impress me. He did a really high suplex in this match that just looked gorgeous. Not much of a match, but some fun stuff. Hardy Family promo for King vs Bunny. Cool. 7) KiLynn King vs The Bunny. This could be rough, but I'm hoping King brings it together. Off to a good start with King showing power and speed. Decent enough back and forth but I'd have given King the win. 8) Acclaimed vs Blackwood and the Bennett. Not wild about the rap this time. Blackwood has something. Less sure about Bennett. Props to Tall Paul for being cool with young people doing whatever with their hair. This is scruffy but had its moments. Bowens putting Purel on the one kid's hand was funny. Page and Sky want to celebrate Darby Allin's rear end. 9) QT Marshall vs Baron Black. Not a bad match, between two guys who can wrestle, but didn't ever catch fire. 10) Joey Janela vs Daniel Garcia. This was fun. I know Garcia from Beyond and other places, and he does a good job as a compact war machine. Enjoyable back and forth. Factory promo. Well, a container for a really excellent Ogogo promo. I cannot consider someone a heel if he calls Cody a 'pissboy" 11) Private Party vs Reynolds and Five. This is as good as you would expect. Any Dark Order combo is great, Private Party have figured out so much in their time in AEW, especially their heel run. The only problem this match has is that it feels like we've seen Dark Order / Private Party a Tekkers/GoD number of times. Liked the Shida /Stat / Britt segment. Stat nearly got hit by the crutch there 12) Honk and Drake vs Army Boys. One of the army boys is built as gently caress. Not much to the match apart from yay Honks. 13) Tay Conti vs Kiah Dream. Conti is such a great showboat. Dream is very new and sells well, but still needs to get a credible offense together. Jeez, the kick to the side of Dream's head was a real rattler. Fun. 14) Penta El Zero vs Robo The Punjabi Lion. gently caress, I love Penta's new music. Robo has a LOOK. And some pretty stout moves. Nice. He performs like someone who knows he belongs. But then he gets on the wrong end of the Skeleton Man. Paul thinks he invented shush chops. FOr a first appearance, Robo is being given a lot, which makes me think they see something in him. I definitely see something in him. Nasty arm breaker, package piledriver, and the win for Penta, but that was very good. 15) Thunder Rosa vs Robyn Renegade. Renegade doesn't get that much offense, but she's got solid fundamentals, and a frame you could build a great wrestler on. Oh hey, I think this is Alan Angels' other half, and a student or former student of QT Marshall. Wow, this is hard hitting, but even in an enhancement position Robyn is able to show skills. Nice looking sling blade. It of course goes without saying that Rosa is an absolute beast. The ending is a bit awkward but I enjoyed the journey. I like that commentary kept Rosa's options open re: NWA and AEW. Honks promo. Teasing dissention, but Sexy Boy JD Drake is solid with his buddies. 16) Mike Sydal vs Brian Cage. My condolences to Matt Sydal on his brother's untimely demise. This is really hard hitting. Mike is athletic and fast and has some fun flexibility. Cage catching Cage from a tope suicida is really incredible. This match is basically just really good fun. Cage is an absolute freak, Sydal is smooth and athletic and has some very nice strikes. SO you get this dynamic of Sydal flying round, hitting strikes where he can, and then Cage just SWATTING him out of the air. I enjoyed Tall Paul roasting Toney by implying that Excalibur is a better announcer. I loved that we got Sydal moving in for what looks like a flying nothing into a powerbomb, but then flipping with a headscissors to show why people go for moves like that. I wasn't expecting much out of this match, but Sydal blew me away here. Great match all round. Overlong Elevation, but enough really good stuff that it was worth watching.

I feel like it's an easy fix there, she's got the green, the red hair, the face paint. Just let her go full Celtic warrior woman like the chick in Hellblade or the version of maid Marian in that new Robin Hood game.

Honestly what she's doing right now is closer to debuting Becky. Neither had a gimmick beyond "go out and smile and dance/wink a lot!" while wearing ugly bright green gear and no personality beyond that. At least the dancing King is doing came a bit more naturally than Becky's.

King’s coolest moments have been when she’s just screaming and throwing people, she should do more of that and less of the “happy to be here” wink and wave to the audience stuff.

Like I'm saying, give her the Hellblade gimmick. You don't even have to change 90% of what she's doing. Darker gear, give her a crown instead of the headband Senua wears in that game, and have her scream and hoss people around like a mad woman.

Senua would actually be a pretty cool gimmick, she's halfway there, she'd just have to get a bit more serious also I don't like the blue in her ring gear, the blue/green/red palette is the biggest thing pushing her to that 2D beat em up sprite problem, maybe swap the blue to black (but then she risks getting associated with those horrible TH2 boys)

flatluigi posted:you not liking her is not the same thing as her not having a personality I love Kilynn! She's been one of my faves on Dark since she debuted. If you can tell me what her personality is even within a single match please do though. She comes from a cool sounding town in Ohio but dresses kind of like a Celtic warrior with the paint and color choices, but then winks and smiles and dances half the time, screams about a fourth of the time, and is just kinda there another fourth of the time. Other than her being in the babyface locker room I've got no clue why she's hanging out with velvet and swole, because almost everything about what he have seen of her personality clashes with theirs, and not in a way where that's the whole point like JD and the Pretty Picture. They don't need to use my idea, but I would like to see them do something to solidify who she is and what her motivations are and get her in ring presentation consistent with that. Just like they did Velvet. Someone telling her to stop doing that stirring taunt constantly and adding bits of stuff like the body blow spot because of her families boxing background went a long way with her. I just want Kilynn to get the same treatment when she moves up, cause she's like 85% there already.
