AEW Dark 8/16/22: Willow takes on a Renegade

[chrom]

Has another new look, dyed her hair blonde

[chrom]

After two years of being employed, you'd think she'd be on TV more than just once a year

[chrom]

You see her eyes?

Could do with an excursion

Brock is still so new and green that honestly I don't think it would be a step down or demotion to have him go through one of the New Japan dojos. He's barely got a gimmick other than "Hey he looks almost exactly like his dad lol", and while I know the dojos aren't for character building persay, I think just getting him into a completely different environment would help keep him from turning into a Dominik Mysterio.

I mean, the trip to New Japan doesn't work for everyone *coughs in Cody Hall* but realistically, if they're planning on holding onto him as a long-term prospect, it might be worth it. I really don't see an organic path up the card for him right now with how saturated the roster has gotten since the Daily's Place era, and time overseas or in LA might strike the right balance of giving him something to do other than being on Dark every few weeks.

Feels unfair to compare him to Hook, but some folks it just comes stupidly naturally and some folks just need the seasoning.

But yeah, I agree that he really, really needs a gimmick past being an Anderson. Not saying he can't still do the Spinebuster, but I can't think of a single second-gen wrestler that succeeded solely on rehashing their father's gimmick to a T.

Mafiosa is a bit on the nose.

ABADON SECTION!

[chrom]

35 wins for Abadon and she has her own cheer section

[mystermystery]

Still confused how there wasn't a qualifier for the Trios Tourney involving The Butcher, The Blade, and The Angelico.

[chrom]

Akki wrestled all over

[chrom]

He's been in DDT, Chocopro, Heat Up and All Japan

[lionheart21]

Can we get Angelico vs Zack Sabre Jr, please? I don't care how it happens.

[chrom]

No pushover as Angelico is reeling

A different environment and working live events would do him some good.

[chrom]

Emi not been on a roll as of late.

[chrom]

Renee is a very pretty woman

[markymark]

I hope they call Akki again for this weekend Dark tapings, he looked good vs Angelico

[chrom]

Missile Dropkick hits

[chrom]

I heard when she and her husband got married, he had to get on a stepladder so he could kiss her

[chrom]

Like Ospreay's finisher that was
