7 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dark (Jan 26)

4. The King Of Banter, -1

-1 Brodie Lee Jr.
AEW

As if -10 tearing off his t-shirt and throwing it over the camera a la Mr. Perfect wasn't enough, Brodie Lee Jr. was a delight and a treasure on commentary for 10 vs. Ray Jaz, Red Velvet vs. Madi Wrenkowski, and Danny Limelight vs. Sean Maluta, constantly bantering everything off, even his fellow announcers.

-1 placed a $5 bet with the masked announcers on one match, less than 10 minutes after telling him to shut up. "This is what hell looks like," he quipped as 10 battled Jaz. After his first match in the booth, Brodie Jr. hopped out, smashed Jaz with a kendo stick, then gave Brian Pillman Jr. the same treatment. The only downside is that he couldn't stay for the rest of the show, leaving before the second-to-last match.

Again, Dark is the perfect spot for stuff like this. -1 rules and we only hope he's having as much fun as he appears to be.
