The new episode of Dark is worth it just for the first match, the Bucks and Cutler Vs The Dark Order is a real fun comedy ridden banger.

The hot tag fail spot was so great

[Hannibal Scorch]

I was watching Dark last night and saw the graphic of Reynolds and Silver vs Chaos Project and thought was I watching Dark Elevation again by mistake. Then Excalibur announces "The rematch you've been waiting 24 hours for!" Superb

So Joey Janela is saying he's not going to sign a new contract, but something tells me he just hasn't been offered one.

He did bring up that there's a lack of talent relations tho, no-one is coming up to people about contracts and the company goes pretty much radio silence on you.

What incredible strength from Fuego wrestling last week mourning the loss of Fuego 2

 

 

[The King Of Swing]

They should have just started using other wrestlers in the role and made it super obvious who each Fuego actually is.

One week it's Danielson for example and the next week it's someone else. 

Would be fun little Dark storyline imo.

They had Danielson doing a Fuego Dos type thing on Dark not long after he first came in, but it only seemed to be a one-off. Or it was dropped when he started acting more heelish.

Excalibur on these shows the past few weeks has adopted a 'Michael Cole in old NXT' attitude where he just shits on things and it makes me pop everytime. Him taking the piss out of Julia Harts graphic and Gunn Clubs music this week being the highlights.

Ethan Page's vlog continues to be consistently good. He wasn't there this week so Preston Vance hosts it and his lack of giving a shit is brilliant.

That was Cody wasn't it? Or did Danielson do it too?

I have no idea who this guy is but Hey (EW) is becoming a Sunday morning treat for me

Battle of the Belts is looking like another minor effort. Taped instead of live, Cole/Page on Rampage and Jurassic Express/RedDragon on Dynamite.

So far just Thunder Rosa v. Nyla Rose is booked. That leaves Jade Cargill v. Marina Shafir and Scorpio Sky in a TNT title match for AEW title defenses.

FTR, Wheeler Yuta, Mercedes Martinez, Jonathan Gresham, and maybe Samoa Joe/Minoru Suzuki for other titles within the company.

It feels like these shows are just there because they have to be, TNT/TBS has ordered them but Tony doesn't really want them affecting the weekly product too much.

If you just love a bunch of people corpsing, The Hangman / Dark Order segment this week is great fun. 

[Lorne Malvo]

LuFisto is on Elevation tonight. A name I haven't heard for about 15 years or however long it's been since she was pissing about with Necro Butcher and Zandig.
