AEW Dark December 8 card

[markymark]

[chrom]

Couple of debuts but nothing too eye catching.

[chrom]

Not often Luchasaurus and Marko team up as a duo

[bog]

I really liked what I saw of Lindsay Snow last week

[toodarkmark]

Ivaleese vs. Skylar Moore is the one Im most excited about. Big Swole vs. Snow is going to be hard hitting. And Red Velvet is a future star, love seeing her.

Also, Colt Cabana and Alex Reynolds teaming? Interesting.

Thought the card might shrink to avoid clashing with Impact, but I don't think that's gonna be the case, lol. Let's run the card down!

Dean/Maluta/Ryzin vs Gunn Clubb: Ryzin's "Try and team up with everyone but Chaos Project" run continues, this time with Maluta and Dean who we haven't seen in a hot minute. Another Trio for Gunn Clubb to mow through it looks like.

10 vs Aaron Solow: Yet another match for Solow as it looks like he's potentially been fully signed. He had a great match with Sydal last week, and with 10 having a match with Dustin this week on Dynamite, this is a big match for him to tune up on as well.

Pretty Peter Avalon vs Louie Vallie: A Hat Trick for Pretty Peter? It might just be in the cards vs Unpainted Kodama of the Batiri. Seriously I really just want The Batiri in AEW... but also PPA all day baby!

Sonny Kiss vs Baron Black: The Empbruh has been getting extended looks lately, and is another prospect it seems for the future, but Kiss definitely needs a win here, and they'll look to get it.

Brian Cage vs Danny Limelight: Limelight had a fantastic match last week, but idk if he'll have the same luck vs Cage. Then again Fuego lasted onger than I expected against him, I hope this is a fun little match here

Sothera Chunn and VSK vs Hybrid 2: Hearing good things about Chunn, hoping this is a good match here, as Hybrid 2 look to pad their records further heading into their biggest match to date vs The Young Bucks.

Jon Cruz and Michael Nakazawa vs The Acclaimed: Well that's certainly a combination, and a combination no less that Caster's probably gonna have plenty of ammo to use against. This should be fun.

Diamante vs Tesha Price: The first of six women's matches on DARK! Diamante's been seen less in singles competition, so I'm hoping for a good showing here.

Colt Cabana and Alex Reynolds vs The Varsity Blondes: This is an interesting match. Given the Blondes have a huge match vs FTR this week, this should probably be a win for them, especially given Cabana and Reynolds isn't a typical DARK Order pairing. I expect miscommunication costing them

Falco and Mike Magnum vs Jurassic Express: Lucha and Marko teaming, a very rare partnership of the team, against two very unteresting looking foes. Im interested in what these two bring to the table especially when their looks are already pretty cool.

Freya States vs Shanna: Another win for Shanna I'd expect, but with Freya making her debut, I definitely wanna see what she's got

Fuego Del Sol vs Brandon Cutler: Fuego may be hot but he's facing the guy with the hottest streak. Cutler will look to make it six in a row, while Fuego will look to hit THE TORNADO DDT...

Alex Gracia vs Nyla Rose: Well, Gracia is gonna die, but at least it'll probably be entertaining. I wonder if we get a post-match promo expanding on the Brandi attack.

Skyler Moore vs Ivelisse: This should be a good match, Moore's improved a great deal and Ivelisse has gotten a string of singles wins going for sure and will look to continue so.

Big Swole vs Lindsay Snow: Swole probably wins here, but Snow needs to get signed asap. Her taking losses now doesn't matter much when the records reset in like three weeks, but I really hope she's someone they sign up for the division.

Red Velvet vs Dani Jordyn: This should be fun. Velvet is always a treat, literally, and Dani has improved immensely in there, always nice to see the women's division develop.

I wanna watch Impact this week so there's a high chance I don't watch DARK in its entirety this week live at least. But there's plenty to be interested in. Just a lot happening on a Tuesday

Shanna vs. Freya States: Looked up Freya and found matches that she had with Dani Jordyn and Katie Lea Burchill (she usually goes by "Freya the Slaya" and hails from the Alaskan indies)...wow, AEW is really dedicated to scouting hoss women. She is bigger than Bionic Beast Jenna and Kris Statlander, will absolutely tower over Nyla Rose. She also seems surprisingly charismatic and like a decent seller. Nothing beyond standard hoss stuff on offense, definitely less intense and believable-looking than Jenna, but I'm excited to see what she and Shanna put together.

I now have more reason to wonder if AEW is slowly putting together some kind of cold/winter themed women's faction, between Lady Frost, Leyla "I was born in -10 degree weather" Hirsch, Lindsay Snow, and now a big natural enforcer from Alaska...but I would also love to see a KiLynn King/Freya the Slaya combination, because making KiLynn the smaller half of a pair of bruisers might work very well for her, and the two have a very similar vibe.

Big Swole vs. Lindsay Snow: Could be fantastic, could be disappointing. Both of them are very good but I could see them both being rough around the edges in the exact way that they don't mesh.

Ivelisse vs. Skyler Moore: Hey, Skyler's back! ...that's about all there is to say on that.

Red Velvet vs. Dani Jordyn: Hope this looks like Velvet vs. Frost looked - Jordyn's more athletic than she has shown off in AEW so far, and Velvet seems like the right person for her to actually show her stuff against. Would enjoy if we got to see Jordyn control the match for a bit.

Diamante vs. Tesha Price: Here's another one where I'm intrigued by the execution. Tesha's building a vibe as a weak and clever heel...and she's going against a crafty and agile heel. Wouldn't be surprised if it's mostly Diamante dominating Tesha with strikes before hitting a Code Red.

Sonny Kiss vs. Baron Black: Hey, this should be good! Also could use a nice little Sonny Kiss victory right now.

Brandon Cutler vs. Fuego del Sol: I would love it if Fuego breaks Cutler's streak, but I'm assuming that that doesn't happen. Cutler seems like he is best kept warm for a rematch with a now-winning PPA.

Nyla Rose vs. Alex Gracia: Alas, I just got to enjoying seeing Gracia actually wrestle, but now I can only watch her die.

Brian Cage vs. Danny Limelight: This'll be the most viewed match based on how popular Cage seems to be on Youtube, and Limelight showed how well he can go last week. So, hopefully it's solid, but it's likely just a slaughter...not that anyone will be complaining.

I don't know what I'm looking forward to more, Valle being back (SIGN THE BATIRI DAMNIT) or Caster ripping on Nakazawa.

Limelight is making some waves with NJPW-US right now, it’ll be interesting to see if New Japan eventually tries to rope him in more once international travel is easier or if AEW will want him to stick around. He’s showing enough skill that he should be a lock for one major company or another before too long.

Heard about Freya’s work before, glad she’s getting a shot...and now that you mention it, an all women’s ice based stable sounds oddly awesome. Since TNT is under the Warner umbrella with Netherrealm Studios, get them all Sub-Zero or Frost Lin Kuei gear.

Mortal Kombat's popular again so why not?

Actually interested in this, Dustin was there for Sting's debut, has an interesting match with 10 on Dynamite, and has been one of the biggest supporters of the girls the last year.

Also interested to hear Marko cause he's really gotten better as a musician too.
