Hell of a showing from both of them. Can't say enough about how much Sonny has improved since last year.

Some weeks ago Sonny and Janela fought the Lucha Bros. I was disappointed in that match, ultimately while Sonny and Fenix were an awesome pair, Janela couldn't match up to Penta, so it felt like their bits put the whole thing down. Getting just Sonny and Fenix to fill ten minutes was exactly as cool as I hoped. They usually post the matches individually later in the week, and Sonny vs Fenix is gonna be my go-to match for folks interested in AEW/Wrestling in general, what a good fight.

It has been said a million times and Saturday is bad day to run something at 605, but the Saturday Night vibes I get from Dark are so strong that it really does belong there. It's not a big deal if I miss it, but I sure enjoy watching it.

Darkthoughts A million hour Dark. Here we go. 1) Shawn Spears vs Christopher Daniels. Should be competently wrestled at least. Ooh, or maybe not, that first exchange was very clumsy. Things warm up a bit as we go along. Daniels still has a lot of fire for a fifty year old, and it's on display here. Better match than it could have been. Sky coming out post-bell works too. I'm interested in this feud. 2) Brandi Rhodes vs KiLynn King. Ooh, new ring gear for KiLynn? Like it. Good chain wrestling for a tall wrestler. They seem to be checking out King's technical skills. She's let down a little by Brandi, but King is very solid here. loving John Silver is out? KiLynn King to Dark Order confirmed. Short match, but King was refreshing and good here. Nice babyface bit after the bell too. I think Brandi's building a stable. 3) David Ali vs Absolute Ricky Starks. I like Ali's look. Very distinctive gear that works for him. Lots of fast explosive moves from both men to start. Starks does smug bully very well. Ali seemed a bit lost halfway through. 4) Fuego Del Sol vs Scorpio Sky. Been looking forward to this one. Sky has to face the master of the Tornado DDT and the 450 Splash. Let's see if Sky has what it takes. Fuego needs to get better conditioning, but he has a couple of neat moves. Flying punch in the corner looked good. Meanwhile on commentary Excalibur is talking about Goosebumps. They're giving Sol quite a lot here, but the Scorpion Death Lock had it in the end. And then Spears plays mind games. I'm okay with all of this. Fun fact: if every match tonight hits its time limit the show would be five hours and twenty minutes long. 5) Aaron Solow vs Luchasaurus. Solow is a super solid competitor. I appreciate the Aaron Duo joke, Excalibur. Not much to this match but it was enjoyable. 6) The Butcher and the Blade vs Team 80s Hair. I enjoy the Pillman / Garrison team, very good entry level tag. And then we have a team that I sincerely think could be AEW's Road Warriors. Just proper formidable tag team beef. Blade is athletic and hard hitting here, and then Big Butch is just a loving brute. AEW obviously has bigger guys than Butcher but something about him is so intimidating. Props to Pillman and Garrison here, though. They looked athletic, fast, and lion hearted which is perfect for this spot. This is especially true of Garrison, who has really strong Kerry Von Erich energy. Obvious result, but this was a very entertaining match. 7) Penta el Zero M vs QT Marshall. No Fenix with Penta, as we'd expect from the coming tournament. QT blocks a Zero Miedo, which is fun. Lots of very hard hitting shots from Penta here. Match takes a while to mesh, but QT is a great seller and pretty soon we find our rhythm. Penta's twisting sling blade is great. Ooh, Eddie interference to reintroduce Allie as the Bunny? OK, cool. Really thought we were going to get a Penta armbreaker. Instead we get a decisive package piledriver. This was good. 8) Jungle Boy vs KTB. I've enjoyed this guy in the indies. Powerful and savage in a good way. Good muscular foil for Jungle Boy's athleticism. Lots of unorthodox big lad stuff here. That kick catch into dragon screw was great. I could stand to see a lot more of KTB in AEW. I didn't bite on the pin attempts but only because I know Jungle Boy is in singles action tomorrow. As others have mentioned, that crucifix Go 2 Sleep is awesome. poo poo, those top rope knees from Jungle Boy are great. Great little match. 9) Las Sicarias vs Kenzie Page and Skyler Moore. Did Diamante get new music? Love the tandem back and forth. Loved Page being thrown into Moore. Diamante in particular is really on it during this match. This match is scrappy in a good way. Lots of enthusiastic action and a few really neat spots. Ivelisse didn't botch either! 10) Bshp King vs Colt Cabana. I have never respected Taz more than in no selling the "chess enthusiast" joke. No Dark Order with Colt until a few minutes in. King is built and athletic but I'll need to see him more to see if he has more than that. Match is okay but not spectacular 11) Adam Priest vs Alan Angels. Surely these guys should be on the same side. Angels gave a hot promo online before this, so I'm looking forward to this. Lots of hard hitting stuff from Angels. He's a very good striker. Priest has a very mid 2000s look and has some skills, but this is an Angels showcase. Decisive strong win in a short match. Hot Kaz promo on Evans, with some very Evans cadence idioms 12) Jack Evans vs Frankie Kazarian. Fun, unorthodox match up. Kaz is playing the straight man while Evans does what he does, which is the best way to wrestle Jack Evans. Angelico selling his shoes off was fun too. Match hit hard and Kaz deserved the win. And then we set up TH2 / SCU, which is nice. 13) Baron Black, Louis Valle, and a roman centurion vs 3, 4, and 10. "the empbruh" apparently. Congrats to AEW for finding a wrestler shorter than John Silver. Love Silver as a lil missile. Love how utterly eurotrash D3 is. Pretty straightforward six man squash, but 3, 4, and 10 are a very fun trio. 14) Wardlow vs Vinny Pacific. Oh god, this spud child is going to get murdered. His grandma's going to sob at his funeral back in Staten. God, that dropkick did literally nothing. Winner by his opponent dying: Wardlow. Kingston's family. Yes, more putting women in factions. Full disclosure, from about this point the show had lost my full attention. Too many matches. 15) Sean Dean vs Matt Sydal. I'm still not sure I get Matt Sydal. He's talented, obviously, but what's he actually doing here? Match was pretty good I suppose. 16) Rey Fenix vs Sonny Kiss. Joey looking pretty stylish honestly. Lots of fun flippy stuff here. Rey Fenix is genuinely one of the best on the planet Sonny is improving but he wisely lets Sonny drive. Sonny has great poise, and is becoming more fluid with his transitions all the time. The finish was inevitable but the journey was fun. Overall there was too much show in this show but it was basically all good. Standouts were Sonny / Fenix, Jungle Boy / KTB, and Butcher & Blade versus Pillman and Garrison.

I'm assuming Matt is one of Cody's buddies who needed work, but he's a good wrestler and their retcon of him botching the SSP was pretty clever so I have no complaints.
