6 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dark (Nov 10)
4. The Acclaimed vs. Louie Valle & Justin Blax
Max Caster rapped on Justin Blax and Louie Valle during The Acclaimed entrance. It's a good gimmick that will go viral if he sharpens his barbs up, but he'll need to bring stronger material than "this guy's too generic to even diss, you're looking way too ugly to even kiss" to the table if that's going to happen.
Nonetheless, this was a solid outing for Caster and Anthony Bowens. Bowens showed some creative stuff, including sliding an opponent onto his shoulders from the outside then slamming him face-first onto the apron. Caster, meanwhile, is a more vocal performer and shows lots of personality in this work.
There is definitely something about The Acclaimed. It'll be fun watching them grow and develop on Dark over the coming months, with this bout suitably one-sided.
