5 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dark (Jun 9)

Downs...

3. Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky Vs. Low Rider & Fuego Del Sol

Essentially a mid-paced workout for the veteran team, this offered nothing beyond the typical seesawing enhancement bouts we've come to expect from Dark in recent times.

SoCal Uncensored were pitted against the two most indieriffic guys AEW has used in this squash-heavy era. This was true of Low Rider and Fuego Del Sol's work and look, though they were at least able to show some pretty slick flippydoos before Sky and Kazarian took over for the end. Miscommunication broke the jobbers' brief control sequence, SCU capitalised, and an SCU Later put Del Sol down while Rider was neutralised on the outside.

Not bad, necessarily: just not particularly interesting.
