6 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dark (Dec 8)

Downs...

4. The Skippables

The Hybrid 2
AEW

Here's your list of textbook Dark pseudo squashes for the week:-

10 vs. Aaron Solow

Peter Avalon vs. Louie Valle

Gunn Clubb vs. Shawn Dean, RYZIN, and Sean Maluta

Brandon Cutler vs. Fuego Del Sol

The Hybrid 2 vs. VSK and Sotheara Chhun

Diamante vs. Tesha Price

Freya States vs. Shanna

Dani Jordyn vs. Red Velvet

The usual situation applies here. While these competitive squashes weren't necessarily bad, they were built from a near-identical framework, contributing to the show's general sluggishness. This makes them difficult to recommend to anyone but diehard fans of the participants.
