6 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dark (Nov 17)

4. The Acclaimed In General

While The Acclaimed may be years away from peaking as an act, they're on a clear road to stardom. Both Anthony Bowens and Max Caster have considerably more charisma than the average Dark wrestler and the pieces are slowly falling into place, with Caster delivering his best rap verse yet, highlighted by "Angel, we already caught you slippin', beat your ass so bad leave your eyeliner drippin'."

Bowens was gloriously over-the-top in his reactions to Max's bars and entered another creative performance between the ropes. Later on, The Acclaimed ran through some slick-looking double team moves, finishing things off with Critically Acclaimed.

It may take a while before they get there, but rest assured, The Acclaimed are going to get there. This was their best week so far.
