5 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dark (Dec 1)

by Andy H Murray

1. A Frantic Main Event

Luchasaurus Alan Angels

Jurassic Express, The Dark Order's Alan Angels and Pres10 Vance, and Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss collided on what is fast becoming one of Dark's signature matches - the three-way tag - and delivered the best thing on the show in the main event spot.

This was a total bomb-fest. The wrestlers worked hard, fard, and with urgency, crafting the kind of all-action scramble you'd expect on a high-level indie card in 2020. It's not the kind of bout that'll blow you away or bother your Match of the Year list, but it was a necessary shot of adrenaline at the end of a rather sleepy card.

The Dark Order looked to have victory secured before Luchasaurus intervened. He took care of '10' before Angels ate Jurassic's Powerbomb finish, ending the bout.
