6 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dark (Oct 29)
Downs...
3. The Shhhhh Remains The Same
Another episode of Dark, another trite Peter Avalon promo in which 'The Librarian' threw tired barbs at the audience, their town, and their sports teams to minimal heat, before Leva Bates interrupted with a shhhhh, drawing an anti-pop. The lack of noise that met her "that was for all of you guys" after cutting Avalon off was extra cringey this week.
It's time to rethink this gimmick. Again.
Avalon is a talented guy who should definitely have a place as an AEW jobber and his delivery is fine, but the content of these promos is rubbish. It's the same thing every week. There's no spice, character, or flavour to any of it, and really, someone who's only been watching wrestling for five minutes could piece these together, let alone a 10-year veteran like 'Pretty Peter.'
