I love AEW, and I like that they have an hour long "B" show like this. It reminds me of WCW Saturday Night after Nitro started, Sunday Night Heat, etc.
They are pushing it time-wise though. Last week, the show was 1 hour and 12 minutes. This week, the show was 1 hour and 2 minutes. I get that since it's a YouTube show, they don't have time restrictions, but you should leave your fans wanting more, not burning them out. I absolutely love AEW, but I don't need over 3 hours of it every week. I don't want to feel burned out on the product like WWE does to me.
Also, next week Impact will start airing at 8 on Tuesdays. I don't want to have to choose between the last few minutes of AEW Dark and the first few minutes of Impact.

Besides Omega vs Janela the matches largely dont follow plot or are deeply planned.You can skip then and not miss anything if you feel burned out

Thought that was a great one-hour wrestling show. The main event was especially fun, and Tazz was having a blast in commentary which really added to it.
Leva Bates isn’t an especially good wrestler and should probably be limited to shorter matches or managing Avalon, but it was harmless for the YouTube show.

Besides Omega vs Janela the matches largely dont follow plot or are deeply planned.You can skip then and not miss anything if you feel burned out I don't want to miss any AEW, the matches are mostly great. And I don't feel burned out yet, I'm just worried that they are going to keep pushing it to the point that I and others do. If they keep this up, eventually they are going to let Dark turn into a second 2 hour show. Part of the appeal of AEW is that they do things differently than WWE. I don't want Dark to basically turn into being Smackdown to Dynamite's Raw. And like I said Impact starts next Tuesday at 8. I already hate that Dynamite and NXT are on the same time. There are plenty of hours in the week that these wrestling shows don't need to be competing for the same audience.

Thursday is too son,Friday has Smackdown,weekend is just a bad time slot and conflicts with PPVS,mondays are RAW and wedsnays..well it is Dynamite and NXT. But it is also a youtube video, much easier to go back so it competes less with Impact

God, Tuesdays being NWA at 6, Dark at 7, Impact 8-10...said this elsewhere, but my attempt at wrestling viewing habits in this brave new world of North American products is NOT sustainable.

I had to put Dark on pause until Impact went to commercial breaks for the last few minutes of the 8-Man main event. Nyla has an official first win now in AEW, but I think it would make more sense if battle royal wins counted, too.

I've never been the biggest fan of Taz(z) on commentary, but this was a really fun show otherwise.

I like that Dark is around an hour. I imagine that some people, this is about the only way they can engage with AEW's content right now, so this is a good thing to give them. Makes me wonder if the show's gotten anyone who normally goes for NXT to make AEW their first look or not.

Yeah, and I still want to mix in checking out ROH, MLW, and WOW, but it's just ridiculous to try and be consistent with all of them, especially since NJPW is my main promotion. I'd love to follow some other puro streaming platforms (AJPW, DDT/TJP, Stardom, something like that), but if I did that there's no way I could keep up with each American show, it's just not feasible. Really is an embarrassment of riches right now, but that's the one downside.

Small stuff like Dustin catching his breath in that match goes a long way. Just simple planning with a dope payoff.

Good show, enjoyed it. Nice to see Tazz again. He was enthusiastic and had obviously done his homework.

Dustin's "Gassed" spot was amazing, lol I have the feeling certain purists are gonna have a rage boner over this because it wouldn't happen in the olden days that someone doesn't take advantage over him that moment.

An error last night, they listed Nyla as 0-3 when she was actually 1-3 due to having won the Casino Battle Royale at All Out.

I don’t think they count battle royales for wins and losses since I don’t think they count Page’s Battle Royale win. Mostly because they don’t count anyone who lost with a loss on their records. Could be wrong there.

Worst episode of AEW Dark so far.
joey janela vs brandon cutler
Man Janela in AEW hasn't been good. Cutler is ok but not good enough to make this worth watching.
janela wins
1.5 outta 5 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Nyla Rose vs Leva Bates
Kinda surprised not a fan of either lady. Leva has a good character but is crap in the ring. And Nyla has looked clumsey and unsafe.But this match was pretty decent.
nyla wins
2.5 outta 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------- cody,dustin rhodes and young bucks vs private party and cima and t hawk
First out is cima and t hawk then private party and I am happy. Like all four guys. Then out comes Cody with Brandi and MJF,even happier. Then out is Dustin Rhodes I am MEGA HAPPY. Then AEW shits all over hte happiness and sends out the young bucks.
Could have been a great match,but got the Bucks having to do the same spots they do over and over for the past what 12 years......
2.5 outta 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------- SHOW 2.16

I don't know much about the T-Hawk guy, but enough of his stuff and selling were weak enough for me to notice a pattern

God, Tuesdays being NWA at 6, Dark at 7, Impact 8-10...said this elsewhere, but my attempt at wrestling viewing habits in this brave new world of North American products is NOT sustainable. Tuesdays are gonna be as filled with wrestling like Saturdays are for me. With WOW,NJPW,MLW and CWFH all airing pretty much in a row on Saturday nights. I am really liking Dark. So much more than I am liking Dynamite. WIth just an hour or so there is less chances for them to put on a match I dont want to see or one i dont want to see running too long. Janela vs Brandon Cutler Cutler appears to be decent. Janela I dont know why but in AEW so far he has looked sloppy and not that good. Kenny Omega is good enough to make up for this vs Janela. Cutler isn't good enough to do that. 1.5 outta 5 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nyla Rose vs Leva Bates I figured I wasn't going to enjoy this match. Like Bate's character work,and been told by many friends how nice she is,but in ring she isn't good. Nyla is a bit too clumsy and felt like AEW was pushing her too hard too fast. Ended up enjoying this match. Nyla looked much better in the ring. Wish AEW had spent say their first 2 months on TV slowly rising Nyla up the ranks. 2.5 outta 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cima/T-hawk & Private Party vs Cody(with Brandi and MJF)/Dustin RHodes&The Young Bucks I had no clue who would be in this match,and first time I watched Dark I had the sound off. So out comes Cima and T Hawk and I am happy. Add in Private Party and I am much happier. Then out comes Cody and his people(outside of MJF being a face I am even happier) Then DUSTIN RHODES!!!! I am about to burst with happiness. Then out comes the Jacksons and My happy level drops way down. Decent match that for me could have been much much better if pretty much any other 2 people on the roster had replaced the Bucks. I get why they have so many fans. But for me I am just tired of their act and matches that lots of the time feel like I am watching a late 90s Hong Kong Action movie. 2.5 outta 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Show rating 2.16 Not a bad show at all. I was surprised at how good the women's match was. But yea the worst episode of Dark so far. Still was good enough I will keep watching.
