5 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dark (Sep 29)

Downs...

4. Best Friends vs. M'Badu & BSHP King

Chuck Taylor
AEW

Best Friends completionists need only apply here. This wasn't a bad match, but it didn't bring anything new to the table either, with Trent and Chuck Taylor working their typical Dark bout.

Such matches are typically a little too long and lack the variety required to hook a more casual viewer. M'Badu looked power and explosive in defeat, entering a solid performance, but regular viewers have seen dozens of matches like this since Dark turned into Squash Match City. Skip.
