3 Ups & 6 Downs From AEW Dark (Dec 10)

6. Competition In Dominance's Place

Luchasaurus jobbers
AEW

Marko Stunt and Luchasaurus vs. John Silver and Alex Reynolds was a well-worked bout and it's always great to see the big man spotlighted (and Silver on AEW TV!), with Stunt mostly ineffective as the heels worked him over for the bulk of the match, leading to the Luchasaurus hot tag for the win.

Those parts of it were fine. The problem is that a tandem who have previously been booked as total jobbers looked too competitive against a team containing the beastly Luchasaurus, who should have ran through Silver and Reynolds in just a couple of minutes, with Stunt getting swatted early on.

If putting Luchasaurus over was the goal, then they may as well have accomplished this in the strongest possible manner, right?
