A fine episode but it was probably 15 minutes too long.

I have absolutely no idea where {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Vickie Guerrero and Nyla Rose dressed as sexy nuns is going to go, but what a moment. A: Yeah they were both looking Good this week B: LOL @ Vikki's master plan basically being begging for change And Nyla’s response being “Beg, knock them out and Tiny Lister it”

I'm enjoying Matt Hardy's character more than I thought possible for me to enjoy Matt in 2021.
Kaz investigating Anger Management (the movie) instead of actual anger management was a funny gag to say it was barely focused on.
Loved the Dark Order's NY party. Each member has such a distinct character and they work so well together. I also loved the callback with Hangman hiding for the last seven days, just like Silver and Reynold's did when they volunteered themselves as his tag partners.

Cutler vs Luchasaurus on Next Week's DARK is honestly a sleeper match, a battle of some mean kicks that's gonna be
Silver vs Reynolds for the BTE Belt is great for many reasons
Nyla punching a dude out after asking for a donation took me out, funniest part of the episode for me personally

I just think people were going through the motions, but you can tell people's hearts are still somber. It didn't feel like it had a lot of energy, and it was just a bunch of bits. It's understandable, might be a while before levity feels ok to feel.

Speaking of which, that crappy New Year's party would have taken place the same night the news broke, which is all sorts of f***ed up.

10 gives up gambling, then snorts coke off of the table. My favorite part of the episode.
I'm curious about Luchasaurus versus Brandon. I think that there's honestly a non-zero chance that Brandon wins it, but Luchasaurus is honestly pretty protected in singles matches, and matches in general.

It's also notable that it comes on the heels of a likely loss for Leva Bates on this week's Dark. Maybe Avalon wrestles Griff Garrison the same night, and all three have their first post-Initiative loss on the books... ...or maybe Avalon ends up the last of them to take another loss.

Avalon is a few wins behind Brandon, so there's definitely room for Peter to gloat for a little bit and then lose it in the pageant he wants to do.

I didn't think I'd see that day that I would say someone's ongoing cocaine habit never fails to make me laugh, but here we are.

I do want to say that something they've gotten better about is having women on BTE more. They had them in the past sometimes, but there was often the problem that, it's not exactly like BTE was a priority and they were very busy, so we would get who was around and had enough time for quick sketches.
Now, though, they're definitely making a point of proactively involving people, including the women, and it's been fun seeing Anna Jay be intimidation incarnate, Nyla revel in violence, Kris Statlander being weird, and the Spanglish crew, like Dasha, Diamante, and Vickie. I miss Public Swole Announcements, but presumably, we'll get more of those later.

The appearances by Ashley Vox and Davienne are making me hopeful that the two of them, along with Leyla Hirsch and Delmi Exo, will bring their TikTok shenanigans to BTE. Davienne in particular would thrive there. Speaking of, someone get Dani Jordyn and Vipress onto BTE:

I don't think DARK is the show where you'll see a lot of upset victories. They just found something for Luchasaurus to do on the week where Jungle Boy and Marko were repping Jurassic Express (which was basically an excuse to show off Tarzan Boy on Dynamite).

Probably not, true. I could see them having Luchasaurus win a competitive match, though I could also see FTR f*** over the "dumb dinosaur", given their feuding as basically stand-ins for, well, we know who FTR is channeling.

I'm pretty sure that guy actually likes the Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy tag team though. His irrational thing with Jurassic Express is that he hates Marko, even more so than most people who don't like Marko.

I guess FTR is more "meat and potatoes, why is everyone wearing kickpads if they don't even throw kicks, hold the goddamn tag rope" curmudgeons and often hypocrites about it, that's more the character, which can be a fun contrast with the colorful types in AEW. Like, I could see Private Party as an easy feud for them after this.
