7 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dark (Nov 24)

Downs...

5. The Skippables

Big Swole
AEW

Vipress vs. Big Swole

VSK and Baron Black vs. Private Party

Adam Priest vs. Brandon Cutler

Gunn Club vs. KTB, Seth Gargis, and Cezar Bononi

Dreamgirl Ellie vs. Penelope Ford

The Acclaimed vs. Alex Chamberlain and Damian Ferrier

These were your textbook skippable Dark squashes, meaning that they were largely indistinguishable from each other in terms of layout and execution and only need to be watched if you're particularly invested in the performers. Otherwise, there's little reason to check them out.

Note, as usual, that this doesn't necessarily mean the work was bad. In most cases, it was fine. It's just hard to recommend these near-identical bouts when there's so many of them every single week.
