Every AEW Wrestler Ranked From Worst To Best - After One Year

39. Stu Grayson

The original Dark Order are a complicated act.

Fans were right to reject the goofy gimmick after a lame Double or Nothing debut, then again when they were thrust back up the card in December 2019. "Dork Order" isn't creative but it is accurate. These guys and their personalities weren't doing it in a purported "real-sport environment" (that barely even exists anymore).

What saves them is their ring work. Grayson and Evil Uno are a sick tag team with years of experience working together, bringing a level of fluidity matched by few others. Those skills have never been in question and Grayson, though not as charismatic as his partner, is the snappier, more impactful wrestler.

Separating Evil Uno and Stu Grayson is almost pointless, but it boiled down to this: Grayson is the better wrestler, Uno is the better promo. As The Dark Order's mouthpiece and focal point until Mr. Brodie Lee showed up, Uno gets the nod.

Let's hope these more to see from the big man. He is great value on social media and comes off as a creative guy, suggesting strengths beyond what his gimmick allows him to show.

37. Isiah Kassidy

Personality and promise define Private Party, who have been typecast as flippydoos and must now work hard to develop their style beyond the giffable - something the duo are no doubt conscious of.

These guys are loaded with potential but sometimes lack the finesse to meet their ambitions. Their matches aren't as clean as they could be and botches are relatively commonplace, though they are extremely exciting when they click into gear. Time will sharpen them up.
