I wanna see more of The Gunn Club because their name is amazing

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Interesting to note, they were supposed to fight Proud n Powerful as that's what was originally advertised. I wonder what happened. Maybe they actually wanna give Gunn Club some shine? Plus it gives Spears looking for a partner more leverage

Maybe PNP couldn't make it.

SCU vs Hybrid 2 and Sabian was also advertised

The last two DARK results were Kong beating Skylar Moore so another jobber squash for her, and SCU beating Kip and Hybrid 2

Kip and Hybrid 2 really need to catch a break, jesus.

[chrom]

Figured since there was a quick Kong squash, there'd be another match as well. JE was there in their gear could've had them do a match against some locals.

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

Huh. That's probably the single most underwhelming episode of Dark so far.

Does seem rather cut and paste.

Hope it’s a one off with that sort of line up and not a recurring thing. Genuinely liked the idea of Dark being a side thing to Dynamite rather than its Jakked or something.

[Mozenrath]

I'll reserve judgment. I'm pretty stoked to see it to see how Austin Gunn is developing, having a debut is pretty cool.

TH2's been kind of the darlings of Dark in a lot of ways, so I'm sure their match is also going to deliver, though I wish they'd have snuck a win somehow to get some intrigue going. Kip needs wins in a big way, and SCU are great, but frustrating because I am more interested in most of the other tag teams.

It does feel like they went full-bore with Dynamite tonight. They might be saving a first triumphant Jurassic Express victory for Dynamite, so that takes them out; Statlander being double-booked probably meant they had to nix some plan they had for Shida or Nyla...

Could also be a holding pattern because they're being careful about wins and losses with the reset. TH2 are pretty well set as the JTTS team that carries Dark, Spears loses very little because his loss makes sense within his current angle; Kong having another squash is business as usual. One of Dark's more interesting purposes has been ensuring needed adjustments to win/loss records (for example, the boring-but-it-works "challenger who came up short wins strong the next show" booking always happens there), so it's possible this week is a dud just because they don't want to blow any important wins and losses on it.

Yeah, I can buy that. Hope that’s the case.

Well they could've had some seen lesser talent like Sonny Kiss. Or have John Silver and Alex Reynolds in their new Dark Order gimmick destroy some guys. There was Havoc, JE, Janela as well who weren't used.

Probably is

Sucks Jurassic Express didn't get a quick match in but maybe they didn't have an opponent for them

Surely since most wrestlers live in Florida they could've find some local talents and ask them if they want to make a quick hundred bucks for a five minute match. There's always Avalon to get beat up.

Has Hybrid 2 won a match since AEW started?

Yes, they coasted to one victory while teaming with the Lucha Bros, then got the pin while teaming with Dark Order. So they are undefeated in 8-man tags!
