I know not many people watch it but I hope Excalibur and Taz still get 90 minutes of wrestling to riff over because that's my jam.

Goodm fun match where both looked good. Itoh is off to Japan again for the TJPW show on the 27th so she'll be gone at least for a while Heard she is a freelancer and isnt exclusive to TJPW, does anyone know if its true? She is signed with a talent agency, Jobnet, in particular their entertainment division IQ Project, with TJPW listed as her assigned company/place of loan. I would guess she has some sort of deal with Cyberfight that hasn't been made public, though.

I don't mind Kahn on TV so long as it's very occasional and he's face. I think it'd be weird having him as a heel. Especially with that emotional hug with Negative One on the Brodie Lee Tribute Show.

I honestly don't know if that's good or bad it feels inconsequential compared to their TV show but if it is a sustainable number that's cool because I really like the show.

Elevation peaked at 30k consistent viewership
The important note to that is they went against a full hour of RAW and didn't lose viewers at all.

It needs to be a showcase of new talent with a spotlight on one every week or so. As it is it comes off as a redundant AEW DARK and I don't understand what its purpose is.

I assume when AEW starts travelling again, DARK is not going to be able to continue to be "Pandemic DARK", it'll go back to the 3-4 Matches that happen before/after a Dynamite" It only seems redundant now because they aren't touring again yet, but whenever that happens, potentially later this year if the trajectory keeps on track, Elevation can continue to be this showcase in a homestead location with a potentially smaller live crowd at Daily's or somewhere else. I think that's really their big future plan with it, but establishing it now to work out the kinks is good.

Some people unsure of Khan appearing on Elevation, just a reiteration that he has no plans to ever become a huge onscreen character and this was an exception for an online product.

Watching Elevation now.
Danny Limelight got robbed. He had Jungle Boy down for a 3 but the ref took too long to start counting.
Ashley Vox vs Tay was great. Shocked none of the Sea Stars are signed yet.

So I have no idea how I glossed over it when I was reading the lineup, but man was I pleased to see Royce Isaacs again. Dude's been one of my favorites for years now. I was getting quite concerned as to where he went, he pretty much fell off the map when COVID first hit. Apparently he was part of the NWA exodus back in September. Can't say I blame him there, they made him a total doof with that May Valentine crap.

Marko/QT was a banger, really digging the latter's direction at the minute. Maki/Riho was a good buzz too.

The only issue I had with the show (and I don't watch as much Dark as I used to so I can't really say if this is the same there) was all of the 'jobber entrances' the unsigned talent got throughout the show. Throw some generic buttrock in front of some After Effects name for all I care, but at least give these people a 15-second entrance so it's not absolutely apparent these people are being fed to the named stars here.
Other than that, I enjoyed what I watched, though I agree it did seem a tad bit redundant to Dark, at least in these pandemic times. If Dark continues to be what it was once we get back on the road and Elevation simply becomes an excuse to give indy talent a shot at lesser used folks, I'm all for it. But in the meantime it just feels like all they did was turn Dark into a two-night affair with Dynamite being the actual thing to pay attention to.
