4 Ups & 7 Downs From AEW Dark (Jun 16)

by Andy H Murray

1. Jon Cruz/Capital Vices vs. Jurassic Express

Capital Vices are a ridiculous team. First of all, their individual ring names are Money and Sinn. Secondly, they look like The Mountie walked into a costume shop looking for some Legion of Doom gear, but left when a grenade went off by a box of Dennis the Menace outfits. Third... well, watch their work.

The tandem should become regulars. They were outrageously watchable in their losing role here and daft in the best possible way. Sinn slapped Money before he got in the ring before Money showcased some good cowardly heel work. While these guys look super indieriffic, that's kind of the point, and they played their part in a fast, frantic sprint with lots of big spots, including effortless power moves from Luchasaurus and Marko Stunt in prime little scamp form.

The Extinction Level Event on Cruz scored the W in this ripper of a trios match. More like this, please.
