Ongoing AEW Dark Thread

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

So...if nobody else likes this idea, this thread can just die.

But, it strikes me that any time a Dark or Elevation thread is created, it gets traffic, even if the traffic has gotten a bit low lately. Developments on each show are somewhat sparse, but there's usually still something to discuss, and it feels like the forum is missing something when the threads aren't created. I haven't felt up to making two threads a week, but I'd feel up to updating an existing thread with a video link twice a week. (I know, not that much different in effort, but brains are weird.)

With that in mind, I propose just doing like some of the general threads in (w)rest and having an ongoing thread for the webshows. If the traffic gets out of hand, the concept can be reconsidered.

This week's Elevation:



And tonight's Dark:



To get us started.

Riho vs. Jungle Kyona and Shida & Storm vs. Sakura & Suruga were basically my motivation for making this thread. I figured I wouldn't have a match to motivate that every week so why not get started when there's such a clear reason to do it?

Making it an all purpose, continuing thread I think might actually be a great idea, and I approve so no one has to rely on the threads being posted weekly, especially when the usual poster seems to have abandoned AEW entirely

And I just constantly forget lol

I have a request.

Is it possible you could start putting card run-downs in the OP?

I would love to do that, especially for each individual video posted, but I refuse to get a Twitter and the only way to get the full card is seemingly to scour AEW's Twitter page for matches spread across multiple posts, and Twitter's gotten increasingly hostile to those without an account.

Fair enough.

I appreciate your candor.

I usually get full cards in my spoilers threads if that'd help you out

Interesting how we now have an "AEW DARK Record" specifically on the Chyron

Archer is 26-0 on DARK

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

Lance Archer being webshow exclusive just because his shtick is suited for the format is one of the things I love about the shows.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

A Chokeslam from the apron into the ring just... looks very painful lol

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Archer might be the first dude to start a clap an immediately want it to stop lmfao

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Here comes AEW's hottest new signing, Zack Clayton.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Shane Saber looks like a discount Jared Leto...

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Clayton's someone who I think is gonna be very happy when Ring of Honor relaunches

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I hope this Athena Match just like has a whole bunch of bullshit in it just to be spiteful

Like Athena just starts wielding a chainsaw mid match

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Athena is super hated in Canada lmfao, she keeps fighting hometown heroines.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Athena will go to your hometown and beat up your friends.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Not sure if they'd need to get a Visa, but Alexia Nicole is someone I'd really want to see again

Perfect underdog energy, very smooth in there

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

Definitely felt like Athena was keeping a story going for fans who were live for the Jody Threat match.

And also testing out a finisher that isn't called the O-Face, which I very much appreciate.
