4 Ups & 7 Downs From AEW Dark (Jun 16)
Downs...
7. Scorpio Sky vs. Robert Anthony
Fresh off pushing Jon Moxley in an entirely-too-long Dark main event last week, Robert Anthony faced Scorpio Sky in what was again the night's longest match.
This suffered for its placement. The last thing you want after a long, repetitive episode of Squash Match Theatre is a fundamentally sound but low-octane 50/50 main event. While it was fine in a bubble, wrestling matches don't exist in bubbles. This went 10-minuter had only flashes of life to it and sure, Anthony is probably getting the elevated jobber treatment in AEW, but the work has to be fun to watch.
This wasn't, and came off poorly because of the slog.
