If you haven't watched something like this before, it's a little bit of a culture shock - it isn't going to immediately win anyone over in terms of presentation. It looks a little low-rent, and the first match is the weakest by far. However, Veny vs Emi Sakamura was great fun (and interesting to have AEW's second trans/non-binary wrestler). Holy crap, but Maki Itoh is a star. If AEW bring her in, she could be huge - the way she projects so much emotion, while being hilarious, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetofthedeed Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 So, is shanna just completely shite, or is her inability to hit her own finisher properly one of those aew in jokes I'm missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted February 17, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 17, 2021 Dark was cracking last night. 12 matches in an hour and some proper squash matches in there too. Hopefully it follows this format more going forwards, as Jurassic Express, Starks and Hobbs all came out of this episode looking incredible compared to previous weeks where almost every match is a back and forth affair and nobody stands out. Loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finisher issue is similar to a few weeks ago when the woman taking the bump (Tiger Suplex into a pin if you've never seen Shanna folks) dead weighted at the last moment and Shanna had to redo the move and looked rightly a bit miffed. This week it looked like Shanna lifted too much and her opponent jumped too high and they went flying. Eh, run of bad luck, but I quite like her otherwise.

Mr Butternut Squash Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Even as someone who went through their 'joshi phase' several years back, I couldn't get into the tournament. Good on AEW for spotlighting these workers and promotions though, it's pretty cool. Excalibur's voice is so grating! Why is Starks seemingly on Dark every week while the likes of Luther stink up Dynamite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luther is jobbing to OC tonight, it'll be a weird fun match probably, The silly stuff with the Dark Order proved that as shit as Luther is, he has SOME use as a bottom of the actual stars act. Starks is lush, but maybe they have something lined up for the weeks coming up to the PPV for him. He might get an actual crack at Darby's belt before the show happens. Being in Team Taz who have been on promo duty means Starks has had to lurk around there whilst other angles get their time too. I'm really interested in Team Taz post Revolution, trying to figure out where they go win or lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm hoping for a feud with the Dark Order. Those loveable geeks fighting for their lives against the nasty arrogant bullies in Team Taz would be great telly. Or a monster vs monster match with Lance Archer and Cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect to see her signed (there's been very little interest according to a few reports) but it means she can get back out doing shows again. That said, her turning up in AEW and aligning with someone like Santana and Ortiz post Inner Circle would be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) 'Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match' At least Impact is on on Tuesday's, I guess. Garbage, utter garbage. Nonsensical rubbish. Rest of the show was good, but absolutely terrible ending. Fucking hell. Edited February 18, 2021 by d-d-d-dAz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
