Finally finished last week's Dark and Elevation. I guess the nights might not have been switched after all, I just saw the Dark first for whatever reason >_>

AEW Dark e92 - 6/8/21

1hr44

Archer v jobber. Starts with Archer dragging guy out from back, tossing him in the ring, and proceeding to have much-too-long match with him. WTF? Plus the backstage ambush is silly since they came out to Archers music

Backstage Matt with TH2. Big Money Matt is putting a hit on Christian, but offering very small money (like $4200, which he ups to $8450 or something). He wants Angelico to beat Christian bad enough to end his career. Drops a few deletes in there (not sure if thats a Broken Matt revival tease or just a normal thing; I know hes done the voice at times). He also offers to let them into the HFO if Angelico wins.

Abadon v Willow. Skipped.

Cezar v Cyrus (debut). Cyrus looks cool. Big man match, with both doing some moves big men shouldnt. One of the best moments was watching Ryan try to cross-body Cyrus outside the ring, only to bounce off.

Angelico v Matthew Justice (debut). Surprisingly competitive match. Starts with Justice spearing Angelico and going for a pin, then landing a few good moves until he tries a jumping something on Angelico outside the ring, only for Angelico to dodge. Justice hits the railing by the ringside and they replay that moment a few times. It was a pretty mean-looking bump, but nowhere near as bad as the one Billy Gunns opponent took the other week from that missed suicida. At any rate, 24 minutes in and there have been 3 matches and a backstage segment. Not terrible. (Although I skipped one of the matches.)

Dante Martin promo. Dante cuts a very awkward promo on Matt Sydal. Jfc, this guy needs to get some serious training. Why does Tony Khan do this? This is embarrassing. Im not sure whether or not Dante might be good someday, but I could cut a more convincing promo than that on the spur of the moment.

Tay Conti v Natalia Markova. Highlights of this trainwreck included Markova did a slow, sloppy cartwheel well, she slowed down for a lot of shit and

Chaos Project v Tommy and something Daily? I just skipped because Chaos Project is terrible.

Jelly Nutella backstage interview about the injury he suffered at the hands of Adam Page. He wants to go to a bar with Alex. Sonny interrupts, asks Jelly to be ringside. He agrees, but then ducks out anyway. Are they splitting up the team? Who knows, who cares.

Marko Stunt v Ariel Dominguez. Oh look, they found somebody Markos height. I was tempted to watch a minute because at least theyre about the same size (even if Dominguez has some musculature and Marko doesnt), but Marko is just really awful. I gave up quickly.

Aaron Solow v Sonny. Skipped.

Nyla v Missa Kate. I skipped through the Vicky part but, several days later, I cant remember how much I actually watched.

QT v Bear Bronson. Decent match, cool finish

Megan Bayne (Greek gimmick chick) v Thunder Rosa. Lousy match. Rosa kept on a submission angle, focusing on Megans legs but she seemed to alternate which leg she was targeting. And Megan wasnt selling the leg injuries enough, sometimes going for kicks instead staying with punches. Megan in general was underutilized this time.

DOs Stu Grayson, Colt, & 10 v jobbers. You know, other than being a little small, Stu is pretty cool. I liked the neat Viking look, but I hadnt seen as much of his power moves. Colt and Dan Barry got into this long joke segment. That wasnt bad for a DO match.

Swole & Kilynn v Sea Stars. Huh, did Kilynn change her hair? I cant remember her old color, but the red just looks weird unless its because her ring attire is completely difference since she normally wears greens or maybe some blue, whereas this is a red and blue outfit. Something jarring about that. Maybe 5-6 minute match.

Backstage interview with QT & Factory. QT corrects Tony says its Marsh-al (not Marshall), answering my running question (although Cornette had mentioned something about that). Making a big deal over a recent win over Cody, shitty segment.

Matt Sydal v Dante Martin. They keep playing up that this is a main event and describing it as a battle of generations (is Sydal really that old? I thought he was just in his 30s although I guess Dante is stupidly young so meh). Dante towers over Sydal. Man is Sydal short >_>

15-minute match. A few minutes, I finally skipped forward. Sydal is okay, but Dante is ugh. A short match with him is fine, but I cant take a long Dante Martin match.
