Welcome back. Thank you for spending today with me. I really appreciate it. Before I start, I want to first shamelessly plug my social media accounts. If you\u2019d like to follow my Wordle scores, you can do so on my Twitter account @IamDavidBryant, and if you\u2019d like to follow my vanity, you can do so on my Instagram account, which is also @IamDavidBryant because I suck at usernames.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Tonight\u2019s AEW Dark Elevation taping emanated not-live from the Cable Dahmer (not that Dahmer) Arena in Independence, Mo. Normally, I\u2019d make quips about the state AEW is in, but I\u2019ve never been to Missouri. However, I did like one of Claire McCaskill\u2019s tweets last week, and I can\u2019t help but love a state whose flag looks like the Croatian flag but if two bears had gotten mad playing checkers and turned over the board.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Before the show started, a stirring pride-month video aired featuring Nyla Rose. (BTW, during tonight\u2019s show, Rose is booked for a potentially explosive match-up against Max \u201cThe Impaler!\u201d There\u2019s been anticipatory buzz within certain corners of the Twitterverse, and I\u2019m one of the people excited to see these two square off. I hope they\u2019re given plenty of time.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The show started off with Excalibur introducing the announce team for the night, which included only himself and Mark Henry. (Nooo! I need Paul Wight, too!) The camera dollied up the ramp toward the tunnels as Nyla Rose\u2019s music hit, and the new set debuted last week was no more. The classic \u201cchandelier\u201d set had returned to take its place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) NYLA ROSE vs. MAX \u201cTHE IMPALER\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It looks like we aren\u2019t going to have to wait long to see the match I\u2019m looking forward to the most tonight. (All week, actually. In fact, I was so excited about this match I messaged Wade about it over the weekend! Hold on to your seat, folks!) The first person to make their entrance was the beautiful yet terrifying \u201cNative Beast\u201d Nyla Rose. Rose wore a new mask (or at least one I had not yet seen), and it was covered in comet argent light-colored rhinestones. (If it seems like I comment on rhinestones a lot, it\u2019s because I stone costumes and have had work appear in U.S. Figure Skating, national drag pageants, national ballroom championships, and even RuPaul\u2019s Drag race. Long story short, I get distracted by shiny objects.)<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1669682993\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Already in the ring was former OVW Women\u2019s Champion and current New South Tag Team Champion, Max \u201cThe Impaler\u201d (Wait. They don\u2019t get an entrance? How does Max \u201cThe Impaler\u201d not get an entrance? I am not okay with this.) Max always has an elaborate look, but tonight they looked especially stunning \u2014 in a terrifying, run-for-life sort of way. (Seriously, no entrance?)<\/p>\n<p>The bell rang, and both performers jumped straight into a collar and elbow tie-up. (Maybe they cut Max\u2019s entrance so the match could get to go a little longer?)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMax could be Abadon\u2019s cousin,\u201d Excalibur said. \u201cWe\u2019re not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both athletes struggled to move one another mid-ring and quickly broke up their aforementioned collar and elbow tie-up, seemingly frustrated that they could not overcome each other\u2019s impressive power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNeither Nyla nor Max is willing to give ground here,\u201d Excalibur said.<\/p>\n<p>Max roared and charged at Rose, possibly looking for a second tie-up, but Rose fell to the ground and caught Max with a drop toehold. Nyla threw herself into the upstage ring ropes and hit Max with a sharp dropkick. The audience applauded Rose\u2019s efforts. Rose then turned her attention back toward Max and startled at the horrifying sight of Max\u2019s face paint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven Nyla (is intimidated),\u201d Excalibur said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can see how that could happen,\u201d Henry added.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-596611887\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Max hit Rose with a body avalanche, sending Rose into the stage left ring ropes. Rose hung in the scarecrow position, and Max backed up and hit Rose with a running body avalanche. Max attempted to whip Rose across the ring, but Rose held onto the ropes, not budging an inch. Rose roared in Max\u2019s face, but they did not so much as flinch.<\/p>\n<p>Max hammered Rose\u2019s face with their forearm, and Rose released the ropes. Max tried to whip Rose a second time, but Rose countered with a short-arm reversal and a behemoth of a neckbreaker. Rose quickly tucked Max\u2019s head between her legs and attempted a Beast Bomb, but Max countered Rose\u2019s offense with a back body drop. (Holy crap, that was backdrop was gigantic \u2014 colossal calamity at its best!)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen was the last time you\u2019ve seen Nyla Rose get\u2026\u201d Henry trailed off.<\/p>\n<p>Rose backed up, and Max speared Rose, taking her down. Rose stumbled into the upstage right corner and hung in the scarecrow position. Max pounded their chest, pointed at Rose, and sprinted toward her with a spear. However, Rose sidestepped Max, and Max crashed into the turnbuckles so hard they might have even clipped the ring post.<\/p>\n<p>Rose seized Max\u2019s person and audibly grunted as she lifted Max onto her shoulders for what would surely be an earth-shattering Beast Bomb if she were to execute it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMax is fighting the Beast Bomb!\u201d Excalibur said.<\/p>\n<p>Rose executed her Beat Bomb finisher on Max. (I feel bad for the canvas.) Rose pinned Max, ensured their legs were hooked, and the referee dropped to the mat to count to three. (The match did not get to go \u201ca little long\u201d like I\u2019d hoped. In fact, it was a little short.)<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Rose at 1 minute and 54 seconds<\/p>\n<p><em>(David\u2019s Analysis: That was way too short for such a potentially epic match-up. I was excited to see Max \u201cThe Impaler\u201d on AEW television, and while they looked great, they didn\u2019t get to show off hardly any of their offense. I\u2019m not saying Nyla Rose vs. Max \u201cThe Impaler\u201d was an Undertaker vs. Sting level dream match, but to a small subset of fans, it was a mini-dream match, and they could have at least given these two goliaths a solid five minutes. That said, I\u2019m still grateful we got this match at all, and I hope we get a Rose vs. Max rematch soon. And for the record, if it wasn\u2019t obvious, I would love to see Max and their tag partner, Heidi Howitzer, signed by AEW.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; After the match, Rose struggled to her feet and posed atop the turnbuckles in the downstage left corner. The crowd is seeming more and more into her.<\/p>\n<p>-AEW aired an advert for DraftKings and touted the promo code \u201cDark.\u201d What is DraftKings? I\u2019ve never downloaded it, and I\u2019m not sure I want to. It sounds like it\u2019s a game about royalty fighting in the Vietnam War, but it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) PRIVATE PARTY vs. PHARRELL JACKSON &amp; S.K. BISHOP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh my God, is that Private Party?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Private Party\u2019s music hit, and the stage lights turned blue and purple. Private Party literally danced their way out of the stage right tunnel, and Quen even did a forward tumble on his way down the ramp.<\/p>\n<p>Already in the ring (not a good sign) and making their AEW tag team debut (they\u2019re definitely losing) was the team of Pharrell Jackson &amp; S.K. Bishop! Jackson John-Silvered for the fans, and then both men walked to the losing team\u2019s corner. Quen and Bishop began the match and circled one another. Quen feigned going in for a collar and elbow tie-up but then spun around and knocked Jackson off the apron instead.<\/p>\n<p>Bishop went for a belly-to-back suplex, but Quen escaped the move, rolled over Bishop\u2019s shoulder, and landed on his feet. Quen snapped Bishop up in a waistlock and ran into the upstage ring ropes, looking for an O\u2019Connor Roll, but Bishop held onto the ropes, and Quen went flying backward. Kassidy distracted Bishop, and Bishop punched Kassidy, but the mistake cost him dearly as Quen hit him with a high-angle drop kick the moment he turned back around.<\/p>\n<p>Quen led Bishop into Private Party\u2019s corner via a front facelock and tagged in Kassidy. Kassidy and Quen whipped Bishop across the ring and caught him on the rebound with an inverted atomic drop\/step-up enzuigiri double-team combo. (Kassidy\u2019s enzuigiri amazingly cleared Quen\u2019s head in order to effectively nail Bishop!)<\/p>\n<p>Jackson ran in to \u201cmake the save\u201d but was unsuccessful when Private Party countered his interference with an elevated headscissors takedown. (Isn\u2019t it a little early for interference?) Quen and Kassidy celebrated with a game of patty-cake, and then Kassidy assisted Quen in executing a springboard somersault plancha off the top rope and onto Jackson at ringside. (Wow.)<\/p>\n<p>Bishop hung on the downstage left turnbuckles, and Kassidy ran toward him. Bishop dodged Kassidy, and Kassidy crashed into the turnbuckles. Bishop hooked his leg under Kassidy\u2019s and pulled him into a roll-up, scoring a quick two-count.<\/p>\n<p>Kassidy popped up and hit Bishop with a clothesline so vicious that his gold chain broke off his neck. Kassidy picked up the gold chain and tossed it to Quen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, he just broke his gold chain,\u201d Henry said. \u201cHe\u2019s gonna be pissed!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kassidy mud-stomped Bishop\u2019s back while screaming in-audible insults at Bishop. Kassidy pulled Bishop upright into a front facelock, but Bishop countered with multiple bodyshots to Kassidy\u2019s torso. Kassidy tried to clothesline a defiant Bishop, but Bishop reversed Kassidy\u2019s clothesline, maneuvered around Kassidy\u2019s body, and attempted to kick Kassidy in the stomach. However, Kassidy caught Bishop\u2019s foot before it could hit his midsection, and Bishop countered Kassidy\u2019s offense with a step-up enzuigiri. Kassidy and Bishop made simultaneous tags to Quen and Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson planted five alternating chops into Kassidy and Quen\u2019s respective chests. However, Kassidy fought through the pain and kicked Jackson\u2019s sternum. Jackson doubled over, and Private Party jointly whipped Jackson into the upstage left corner. Jackson crashed into the turnbuckles but seemed unphased as he rebounded off the turnbuckles and took down both members of Private Party with a double clothesline. Jackson flexed and rallied, causing the crowd to rally around him as well.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson went for an Irish whip on Quen, hoping to send Quen into Kassidy, but Quen reversed the Irish whip and sent Jackson into Kassidy\u2019s superkick. Quen hit Jackson with a high-flying windmill kick while Kassidy punched Bishop off the apron. Quen officially tagged in Kassidy, and Private Party executed their double-team shooting star\/neckbreaker combo. (This looked far more impressive than my words portend.)<\/p>\n<p>Quen pinned Jackson, hooked his leg, and mugged for the camera. The referee dropped to the mat and counted to three.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Private Party in 3:00 minutes<\/p>\n<p><em>(David\u2019s Analysis: This was a nice enough match, but much like the first match, this one was also very short, and so there is not a lot for me to say about it. Nothing went wrong, everyone did their job well, and Private Party looked strong in the process.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; After the match, the referee replayed Private Party\u2019s impressive shooting star press\/neckbreaker combo as well as the pinfall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; An advert for Forbidden Door aired, and while I\u2019m looking forward to this PPV, recent news has put a slight damper on my excitement for it. While it is not Tony Khan\u2019s fault, it is unfortunate so many names (Andrade, Penta, Rey Fenix, Jeff Hardy, C.M. Punk, MJF, Kenny Omega, etc.) have been rendered unable to take part in this historic event. Hopefully, Bryan Danielson will be cleared to return in time for the show, but if he does return, I hope he returns with safety in mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) ORTIZ vs. ANAYA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before Ortiz entered, Excalibur hyped his hair vs. hair match against Chris Jericho on Wednesday. (IF they decide to cancel the tag-team ladder match altogether rather than just remove the Hardys from it, I hope they give this match ample time in its place. Ortiz vs. Jericho feels big by itself, but when you add in the hair vs. hair stipulation, it feels more than worthy of the show\u2019s main event spot.)<\/p>\n<p>The contours of the Puerto Rican flag filled the screen. (My BF\u2019s from Puerto Rico. I wonder if I can use this to finally convince him to start watching professional wrestling. *plotting emoji*.) Ortiz came out with his typical haunting makeup, looking pumped and pointing toward his fans. (Ortiz can really go, so this match could be good if given time.)<\/p>\n<p>The director cut to fans applauding Ortiz as he continued to acknowledge them all the way down to the ring. (Jericho would have been fun to have on commentary for this one, but I can see why they\u2019d hold off on that. Given this is Dark Elevation, Jericho is an AEW Galaxy Megastar, and people might expect a post-match brawl or something, and then they\u2019d be disappointed when it didn\u2019t happen.)<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz\u2019s opponent, Anaya, was already waiting in the ring, and the bell chimed as soon as they faced one another. The match started with Anaya and Ortiz stalking in a circle and sizing each other up. Anaya attempted a single leg takedown, but Ortiz stepped back, and the two ended up in a collar and elbow tie-up.<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz shifted the tie-up into a side headlock, and Anaya bulldozed Ortiz into the stage right ring ropes, attempting to whip him across the ring. However, Ortiz countered Anaya\u2019s whip attempt by yanking downward on the side headlock and bringing Anaya back to the mat mid-whip. (That looked cooler than it sounds.)<\/p>\n<p>Anaya fought his way back up, but Ortiz instantaneously tore him back down to the mat with a side headlock takeover. (He\u2019s really working this side headlock like his life depends on it.) Once again, Anaya fought his way to his feet, yet Ortiz still kept his side headlock firmly in place. Anaya backed up toward the ropes a second time, and this time, he managed to throw Ortiz off of him, sending Ortiz tumbling across the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Anaya ran the ropes, and Ortiz dropped to the canvas to avoid him. When Anaya came back around, Ortiz caught him mid-run with a powerslam! (This is great, so far!) Ortiz immediately followed that powerslam with a standing senton onto Anaya and John-Silvered for the cheering crowd. (Ortiz has the kind of body I wish I had. I can\u2019t ever get that cut without losing a ton of gains. Good on him.)<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz darted toward Anaya, and Anaya lurched away at the last second. Because of this, Ortiz crashed into the downstage right turnbuckles. Anaya went for an Irish whip, but Ortiz executed a short-arm reversal and sent Anaya into the turnbuckles. However, Anaya used his hands to grab the ropes and stop his impending collision. Ortiz ran at Anaya, Anaya leapfrogged Ortiz, and Ortiz jumped onto the second turnbuckle and executed a springboard crossbody on Anaya. (Hot damn. This action is good.)<\/p>\n<p>Anaya climbed to his feet, but Ortiz suddenly took him down with a front dropkick out of nowhere. Ortiz rallied the crowd, snapped up Anaya\u2019s leg and torso, and executed a fisherman\u2019s buster. Ortiz covered Anaya but did not hook his leg. Ortiz looked into the camera as the referee counted to one, two, three \u2014 Ortiz picked up the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Ortiz at 74 seconds<\/p>\n<p><em>(David\u2019s Analysis: Great match! However, I hated it was so short. I really enjoyed the more recent Dark Elevations, where they only had four matches, but each match went like 8 or 9 minutes. Granted, I know they can\u2019t do that every week because they need to fit in enough wins to fill wrestlers\u2019 win\/loss dance cards. At least I\u2019ll get to see a longer Ortiz match on Wednesday against Jericho. Again, not to belabor the point, but I hope they give Jericho vs. Ortiz plenty of time. It could steal the show if they do.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; After the match, Excalibur continued to hype Jericho vs. Ortiz in a hair vs. hair match. While Excalibur spoke, a lower-third digital graphic appeared at the bottom of the screen to add a visual alongside his hype.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) SERENA DEEB &amp; MERCEDES MARTINEZ vs. TOOTIE LYNN &amp; MIRANDA GORDY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Serena Deeb\u2019s music hit first, and the stage lights turned an electric-looking teal. Once at ringside, a group of jeering fans caught Deeb\u2019s eye, and she got right up in their face. She calmly read them down while they continued to boo her. (This was good heel work and likely a fun experience for the fans, too.)<\/p>\n<p>Deeb\u2019s tag team partner, Mercedes Martinez, came out next. (This is an interesting tag team. I thought Martinez was a face, and Deeb was a heel, no?) Martinez wore her Ring of Honor Women\u2019s Championship around her waist. Fans cheered, and Martinez smiled, nodding to them as she made her way down the ramp.<\/p>\n<p>(Excalibur did his auctioneer thing, and it always feels like a magic trick where he\u2019s trying to see how many words he can stuff into a single hat. Also, much like a magic trick, you\u2019re left completely in the dark.)<\/p>\n<p>The team of Tootie Lynn &amp; Miranda Gordy was already in the ring. (I\u2019m excited to see Lynn wrestling again! Welcome back! Lynn wore her hair differently than last time, but it still looked great. Here\u2019s hoping she has another good showing.) Gordy waved to the crowd while Deeb scowled at the camera like she\u2019d swallowed the soul of a Disney villain.<\/p>\n<p>Deeb and Gordy started things off by lunging toward one another; however, instead of a collar and elbow tie-up, Gordy found herself trapped in a side headlock. Gordy fought Deeb off and attempted a waistlock, but Deeb performed a svelt standing switch and went right back to her side headlock. Gordy shoved Deeb into the stage right ring ropes, and Deeb rebounded into Gordy with a shoulder tackle takedown.<\/p>\n<p>Gordy pulled herself up, but before she could fully stand, Deeb snatched her in a third side headlock and took her to the mat using a side headlock takeover. Deeb rolled through her side headlock takeover, grabbed Gordy\u2019s leg, and executed an inverted dragon leg screw.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh my goodness,\u201d Henry said. \u201cSo skillful \u2014 so quick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martinez looked perturbed by how disrespectfully Deeb was treating her opponent, and I can\u2019t imagine what Martinez expected to happen? Did she think Deeb had just been in a bad mood for the past two years?<\/p>\n<p>Deeb executed a kneeling shoulder tackle, and Martinez asked to be tagged in. Deeb looked incredulous but begrudgingly agreed and tagged in Martinez. Meanwhile, Gordy tagged in Lynn.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez and Lynn entered the ring and locked up with a quick collar and elbow tie-up before Martinez executed a double leg takedown, followed by a float around into a front facelock on Lynn. Lynn fought to get to her knees, and Martinez yanked her back to the mat. Lynn fought her way to her knees a second time, and Martinez rolled Lynn across the mat, still holding onto the headlock.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez pulled Lynn into a standing position and then held Lynn upside down for a delayed vertical suplex. (Martinez held Lynn in the \u201cdelayed\u201d position so long the crowd began applauding enthusiastically.) While holding Lynn in the \u201cdelayed\u201d position, Martinez pointed toward Deeb; Martinez then finished the suplex and covered Lynn. Lynn kicked out at two.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez reapplied her front facelock on Lynn, walked Lynn to the heel (face?) team\u2019s corner and tagged in her heel partner, Deeb. Deeb took over Martinez\u2019s front facelock and executed a huge twisting neckbreaker on Lynn. Lynn sold this extremely well, giving us excellent facial expressions in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Deeb pulled Lynn to the center of the ring by her leg and planted an elbow drop on Lynn\u2019s knee. Deeb put Lynn in a grapevine, but Gordy entered the ring to interfere before Deeb could fall backward to fully lock it in. (Rules?) However, Gordy was unable to interfere because Deeb grabbed hold of Gordy\u2019s upper body and executed an innovative vertical suplex\/grapevine combo. Deeb gloated by posing triumphantly while her Maleficent-infused soul snarled at the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Deeb then asked Martinez something along the lines of, \u201cDo you think you can do better?\u201d Martinez reached out to tag Deeb, and Deeb yanked her hand away at the last minute. Martinez looked infuriated and slapped Deeb\u2019s shoulder to tag herself into the match. Gordy ran at Martinez, but Martinez caught her with a spinebuster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe said, I got it!\u201d Henry said.<\/p>\n<p>Lynn attempted some offense, but Martinez prevented her from achieving anything by taking control of Lynn\u2019s person and slamming her onto Gordy. Martinez then whipped Lynn into the upstage left corner and hit Lynn with a running flying forearm. Martinez grabbed hold of Lynn, pulled her up into a vertical suplex position, and hotshotted Lynn across the top rope. As Lynn hit the ropes, Martinez relinquished her grip and allowed Lynn to bounce off the top rope, flip over and land on her back. (Wow.)<\/p>\n<p>Lynn sat up mid-ring, and Martinez ran into the upstage ring ropes, rebounded, and hit Lynn in the back of her head with a running forearm. Martinez then put Lynn in the setup for her Brass City Stretch submission hold, but Gordy ran in to try and stop Martinez. Deeb ran in to counter Gordy\u2019s run-in and took out Gordy\u2019s left leg.<\/p>\n<p>Gordy fell to the mat, and Deep trapped Gordy in her Serenity Lock finisher. Martinez then trapped Lynn in her Brass City Stretch submission, and both Lynn and Gordy tapped out.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Deeb &amp; Martinez in 5:00<\/p>\n<p><em>(David\u2019s Analysis: This was yet another good, solid match that would have benefited from being about a minute longer. Still, this told an interesting story, and it looks like we\u2019ll be getting Deeb vs. Martinez for the Ring of Honor Women\u2019s World Championship somewhere down the line. Lynn looked great during the match but wasn\u2019t given much offense because that would have hampered the story. Hopefully, she\u2019ll get in more offense next time.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; After the match, Deeb and Martinez glared at each other while their hands were raised. The referee then handed Martinez her belt, and she raised it above her head as Deeb\u2019s Evil-Queen eyes smoldered with envy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Another advert for DraftKings aired, and I\u2019m still not entirely sure what DraftKings even is. It sounds like it\u2019s about beer, but it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) JERICHO APPRECIATION SOCIETY (\u201cDaddy Magic\u201d Matt Menard &amp; \u201cCool Hands\u201d Angelo Parker) vs. WARHORSE &amp; DANNY ADAMS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Jericho Appreciation Society\u2019s theme music hit. It began with a voice-over stating, \u201cThe Jericho Appreciation Society: The five-star symbol of excellence for sports\u2026 entertainers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCool Hands\u201d Angelo Parker and \u201cDaddy Magic\u201d Matt Menard came out of the heel team\u2019s tunnel. (I love writing the words \u201cDaddy Magic.\u201d I feel like that should be my sports-entertainer name. We can call Matt Menard something else because from now on, I want them to announce me as \u201cDaddy Magic\u201d every time I go out on the ice for a figure skating competition \u2014 you know, to bring some flamboyance to the event.)<\/p>\n<p>The team of Warhorse &amp; Danny Adams was already in the ring awaiting their opponent\u2019s arrival. Warhorse held his hand over his head and posed for the crowd. Adams watched as \u201cCool Hands\u201d Angelo Parker and \u201cPapa PixieDust\u201d ascended the turnbuckles to pose for the AEW Galaxy.<\/p>\n<p>As Justin Roberts announced Warhorse &amp; Adams, Parker and Menard attacked their opponents from behind. Punches were thrown, knees were thrown, and Adams was thrown out of the ring by \u201cFather FiddleStix\u201d Matt Menard.<\/p>\n<p>Parker and Adams started things off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(Parker\u2019s) still got his glasses on,\u201d Henry said. \u201cI don\u2019t understand that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parker and Adams circled one another while Adams held his side, still suffering from the pre-match beatdown, which the referee was fine with. Parker hit Adams with a big boot, and Adams hit the canvas. Parker picked Adams up and executed a snap suplex followed by a leaping face-stomp. Parker tagged in \u201cDongle Von TwinkleDick\u201d Matt Menard.<\/p>\n<p>Menard grabbed Adamss\u2019s glasses, threw them on the floor, and stomped on the frames to pulverize them. Menard slammed Adams\u2019s head into the downstage right top turnbuckle, chopped Adams\u2019s chest, and whipped Adams into the upstage left turnbuckles. Adams hit the turnbuckles so hard he bounced off and bumped to the mat. Menard then yelled something obnoxious at Warhorse, but I couldn\u2019t quite make it out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMumbles McMarbleMouth\u201d scooped up Adams, trapped him in a front facelock, and tagged in \u201cCool Hands\u201d Angelo Parker. Together, Menard and Parker executed a Two For The Show into the turnbuckles on Adams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Daddy Magic\u2019 and \u2018Cool Hands\u2019 both have a leg up on these guys,\u201d Henry said. \u201cThey\u2019ve been teaming together for years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCool Hands\u201d Parker kicked Adams in the stomach and attempted a shoulder tackle, but Adams put up both hands, imploring him to stop. As is befitting his gentlemanly character, Parker stopped beating up Adams to see what he wanted. Adams pointed to something on Parker\u2019s chest. When Parker looked down, Adams raised his finger and bopped Parker on the nose. (I\u2019d love to see someone do that in UFC\u2026 No, really. I would.) Parker punched Adams twice, kicked Adams once, and let Adams escape by crawling through his legs and tagging in Warhorse. Warhorse rammed his fist into Parker\u2019s face, flooring Parker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApplesauce Alchemist\u201d Matt Menard ran in for no reason, just as Warhorse was getting the upper hand. Warhorse drop kicked Menard, put Parker in a side headlock, released the headlock, ran into the ropes, and kicked Parker in the chest. Warhorse then punctuated that flurry of offense by bouncing into the ropes and executing a running springboard lariat onto Parker. The crowd cheered Warhorse, and he bobbed his head like a one-man hair-metal band.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHarry Headband\u201d Matt Menard pulled himself into the scarecrow position just as \u201cCool Hands\u201d Parker did the same in the opposite corner. Warhorse ran to both corners, clotheslining Park and Menard. Warhorse went for a second clothesline on Parker, but Parker took Warhorse down with a drop toehold, and Menard ran across the ring to hit Warhorse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHymen HorseHit\u201d Matt Menard tagged Parker and officially brought himself into the match. Together, the Jericho Appreciation Society executed a humungous double DDT on Warhorse. Parker punched Adams off the ring apron, and Menard hooked Warhorse\u2019s leg and covered him for the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Jericho Appreciation Society (\u201cCool Hands\u201d Angelo Parker &amp; \u201cDingDong SorcerSizzle\u201d Matt Menard) in 3:00<\/p>\n<p><em>(David\u2019s Analysis: Now that\u2019s how you represent sports entertainment! I liked the match. Even though it was short, Menard and Parker\u2019s antics made it a lot of fun. I\u2019d like to thank Matt Menard for loaning the nickname \u201cMagic Daddy.\u201d I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll easily find a suitable replacement, and if not, I\u2019ll always be here to help him.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; After the match, JAS confronted a ringside camera and took the opportunity to taunt Santana and Ortiz.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(6) RUBY SOHO vs. HEIDI HOWITZER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(OMG! I should have known a show with Max \u201cThe Impaler\u201d would also feature Heidi Howitzer! Heidi and Max are in a tag team called Wasteland War Party and won the New South Tag Team Titles together! I hope they give Howitzer more time than they did Max.)<\/p>\n<p>Ruby Soho\u2019s iconic theme song hit, and the crowd got on their feet. Soho bounced out of the faces\u2019 tunnel and sported a jacket reading \u201cI Love You\u201d in pride colors. The crowd seemed genuinely excited to see her (and I sorta, kinda, maybe feel like Soho is the most misused member of the AEW Women\u2019s Division).<\/p>\n<p>Howitzer was stretching while awaiting Soho\u2019s arrival in the ring. When Justin Roberts announced Howitzer, she stuck out her tongue and looked absolutely ferocious. (Speaking of the name Heidi, it\u2019s a fun bit of trivia to note that Ruby Soho used to wrestle under the name Heidi Lovelace.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWow, Heidi Howitzer,\u201d Henry seemed impressed by Howitzer\u2019s appearance. (This is her second time wrestling for AEW, BTW. I hope that means they like her.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho would you rather meet in a dark alley,\u201d Excalibur asked, \u201cHeidi Howitzer or Max \u2018The Impaler?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNone of the above,\u201d Henry answered.<\/p>\n<p>Howitzer and Soho started things with a collar and elbow tie-up. Howitzer tried to muscle Soho into the upstage left corner, but Soho was strong enough to fight her way back to center-ring. Howitzer released the collar and elbow tie-up and looked impressed by Soho\u2019s might. Howitzer raised her hand, offering a test of strength, and the crowd chanted something I couldn\u2019t make out as Soho accepted Howitzer\u2019s offer and took her hand.<\/p>\n<p>Howitzer held Soho in a Greco-Roman knucklelock and headbutted her shoulder. Soho fell to one knee. Soho decided to end things quickly, jumped to her feet, executed a short arm reversal, and attempted for her No Future finisher. However, Howitzer countered Soho\u2019s finisher by yanking Soho\u2019s arm and pulling her to the mat. Howitzer grabbed Soho\u2019s leg, looking for a dragon screw leg whip, but Soho denied her the chance. Howitzer then executed a leg drop, but Soho moved out of the way, allowing Howitzer to crash and burn.<\/p>\n<p>Soho then punt-kicked Howitzer (hard) in the chest. (That looked and sounded so painful.) Soho stomped on Howitzer\u2019s foot, struck Howitzer\u2019s midsection, and executed a spinning back kick. Soho then attempted a backheel trip, but Howitzer countered the maneuver and whipped Soho into the ropes. Soho bounced off the stage right ring ropes and rebounded into a clothesline from Howitzer. Howitzer covered Soho but did not hook her leg, and Soho kicked out at one.<\/p>\n<p>Howitzer attempted to apply a full nelson on Soho, but Soho refused to allow her to complete the hold. With her arms still in the \u201cfull nelson\u201d position, Howitzer bullied Soho into the downstage left corner and repeatedly beat her head and torso against the turnbuckles like she were a human flyswatter.<\/p>\n<p>Howitzer released Soho and charged at her in the corner; however, Soho countered with a back elbow. Soho then used the turnbuckles to support her own weight, grabbed Howitzer\u2019s neck with her knees, and executed her signature Deadly Nightshade on Howitzer. The crowd fervently applauded Soho except for one jerkwad opposite the camera, who flipped her off for no reason. Howitzer hung in the scarecrow position, and Soho dashed toward her, spearing her and planting five short-arm shoulder blocks into Howitzer\u2019s midsection. The referee forced a break. After a moment, Soho returned to the corner and plunged six forearms into Howitzer\u2019s face. Once again, the referee forced a break.<\/p>\n<p>Soho shoved the referee out of the way (that was kind of heelish) and began mud-stomping Howitzer\u2019s chest. After a multitude of mud-stomps, the referee physically pulled Soho off Howitzer, and Soho screamed. The audience boomed with applause upon hearing Soho\u2019s outburst.<\/p>\n<p>Soho pulled Howitzer into the middle of the ring. Soho then hit Howitzer with a forearm, an uppercut, and a headbutt. Howitzer clutched at her skull and doubled over. Soho wrapped her arms around Howitzer and attempted a suplex, but Howitzer refused to be moved. Howitzer then cheated by raking her fingernails against Soho\u2019s eyeballs.<\/p>\n<p>Howitzer capitalized on her illegal eyeball-scrapping and hit Soho with a forearm followed by a direct kick. Howitzer then attempted a cutter, but Soho blocked it, kneeing Howitzer in the back. Soho executed a neckbreaker and pulled Howitzer into an inverted front facelock. Soho then performed her Destination Unknown finisher. Soho rolled Howitzer over, covered Howitzer, hooked Howitzer\u2019s leg, and got the pinfall to score the win.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Soho in 4:00<\/p>\n<p><em>(David\u2019s Analysis: This was a fun bout, and it was given more time than Max\u2019s match. I am thrilled to see both Howitzer and Max on the same show. Howitzer is fantastic at telling an in-ring story, and Max is worth much more than the limited amount of time they gave them. BTW, if you are interested in following Heidi Howitzer, you can find her on Twitter @ThundrdomeStyle \u2014 If you\u2019re interested in following Max \u201cThe Impaler,\u201d you can find them on Twitter @_theyaremax_ )<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; After the match, Soho mounted the turnbuckles and posed for her fans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(7) THE FACTORY (Q.T. Marshall &amp; Aaron Solo) vs. DARK ORDER (Preston Vance &amp; Evil Uno)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Factory\u2019s music hit first, and Aaron Solo walked out with his tag team partner and human tragedy, Q.T. Marshall. Solo walked to the ring looking furious, and Q.T. Marshall walked to the ring looking furious about a snowy TV set he can\u2019t work because rabbit ears aren\u2019t a thing.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the words \u201cJoin the Dark Order\u201d blared over the speakers, and the team of Preston Vance &amp; Evil Uno was accompanied onto the stage by Alan Angels, Alex Reynolds, and not Stu Grayson. (#JusticeForGrayson) However, Angels and Reynolds remained atop the stage as their friends, Vance and Uno, made their way to the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arriving at ringside, Uno and Vance performed their signature Mother Monster hand gesture, and several local Gaga fans returned their salute. \u201cNumber Ten\u201d Vance climbed the upstage right turnbuckles a flashed ten Shawn-Spears fingers at the crowd, who flashed them back at him in return.<\/p>\n<p>Solo and Uno started things off, and the crowd began a LOUD \u201cEvil Uno!\u201d chant. Uno took notice, walked to the upstage left turnbuckles, climbed them, and lounged across the corner ropes. Uno conducted the chanting crowd like an orchestra and basked in their adulation. When the chanting showed no sign of abating, Uno hopped off the ropes and decided to continue the match because time exists.<\/p>\n<p>Uno went for a collar and elbow tie-up, but Solo kicked him in the stomach. Uno doubled over, holding his midsection as Solo took control of Uno\u2019s head and put him in a side headlock. Solo then backed up into the stage left ring ropes, and Uno managed to shove him off, sending Solo into the stage right ring ropes. However, upon rebounding, Solo hit Uno with a shoulder tackle. Solo\u2019s shoulder tackle sent Uno into the opposite ring ropes; Uno bounced off those ring ropes and used their momentum to shoulder tackle Solo.<\/p>\n<p>Uno ran the ropes, and Solo avoided him by dropping down to the canvas. When Uno came back around a second time, Solo attempted to leapfrog Uno, but Uno turned Solo\u2019s leapfrog into an inverted atomic drop. Uno kneed Solo, stomped both of Solo\u2019s hands, and captured Solo in a wristlock. Uno tagged in Vance. Vance was unable to take over Uno\u2019s wristlock in time, and Solo escaped, making it to the heel team\u2019s corner. Once there, he tagged in Marshall.<\/p>\n<p>Morning-after-mascot, Q.T. Marshall, stepped through the ropes to a chorus of boos and mocked Vance\u2019s Shawn-Spears fingers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVance was a student at The Factory years ago,\u201d Excalibur pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>Vance knocked Marshall down with a forearm, and they both moved into the downstage right corner. There, Marshall attempted a clothesline, but Vance ducked underneath it and chopped Marhsall\u2019s chest. Solo ran down the ring apron to clothesline Vance, but Vance ducked Solo\u2019s clothesline. Vance then chopped Solo so hard he went flying off the apron. However, the distraction took Vance\u2019s attention off Marshall, and Marshall capitalized with a kick to Vance\u2019s stomach and a punch to Vance\u2019s head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDaddy Tragic\u201d Q.T. Marshall tagged in Solo, and Solo dropped a flying axe-handle onto Vance\u2019s locked wrist. Solo put Vance in another wristlock, and Vance clotheslined Solo. Vance then lifted Solo in position for a delayed vertical suplex, but because \u201cdelayed\u201d anything is a bad idea in tag matches, Marshall ran into the ring to interfere. As Vance dropped Solo, Marshall caught him off of Vance\u2019s shoulders and put Solo down feet-first. In response, Vance pump kicked Marshall.<\/p>\n<p>Solo ran the ring ropes, but Vance caught him in a \u201cpowerslam\u201d position and quickly turned that into another delayed vertical suplex. This time, the delayed vertical suplex was successful, and the crowd roared with delight. Vance put Solo in a front facelock and tagged in Uno.<\/p>\n<p>With the crowd cheering him on, Uno picked up Solo and performed a delayed vertical suplex of his own. Upon the execution of the move, the crowd exploded, and Uno raised both arms over his head to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>After his celebration had ended, Uno chopped Solo\u2019s chest, stomped Solo\u2019s foot, and punched Solo\u2019s cranium. Uno attempted to whip Solo across the ring, but Solo reversed the whip and sent Uno into the stage left ring ropes. When Uno hit the ring ropes, Marshall, a man who is better known as the blue-screen of wrestling, picked Uno\u2019s ankle, and Solo capitalized on Marshall\u2019s distraction by knocking Uno out of the ring and to the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Dead-Mall-Santa, Q.T. Marshall, catwalked along the apron with the grace of a hog-tied penguin and jumped off onto Uno, executing a flying double axe-handle that looked even more boring than it sounds. Marshall then got into an argument with a fan, and whatever Marshall said included a word that got bleeped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to get demonetized thanks to Q.T. Marshall,\u201d Excalibur said.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall pulled Uno back into the ring and punched him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQ.T. Marshall\u2019s not holding any punches,\u201d Henry quipped.<\/p>\n<p>Q.T. Marshall, who is internationally recognized as the reason babies cry, tagged in Solo. Solo cornered Uno against the turnbuckles, kicked Uno in the stomach, punched Uno in the mask, and choked him with his boot. The referee broke up the choke, and Solo backed away. Uno fought his way up, and the crowd applauded in an attempt to cheer him on. Uno reached out to tag Vance.<\/p>\n<p>However, Q.T. Marshall, a man you may remember from every \u201cbefore\u201d picture, tagged himself into the match and hurried across the ring, where he punched Vance off the apron. Marshall then punched Uno in the head and mocked Lady Gaga. After that, Marshall swung Uno into the ropes, but Uno rebounded onto Marshall with a falling cutter. As Marshall wallowed around the ring like a pig in a fair, Uno once again rallied alongside the crowd and crawled his way into the face\u2019s corner. This time he made the tag, and Vance entered the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Vance clotheslined Marshall, and Marshall crashed to the mat before getting back to his feet. Vance clotheslined Marshall a second time, and Marshall crashed to the mat a second time before getting back to his feet. Vance then executed a back body drop on Marshall. Solo ran into the ring and rushed straight into yet another clothesline from Vance. Vance then side-suplexed Solo and whizzed across the ring toward Marshall, who stopped Vance with a big boot. Marshall then leaped toward Vance, but Vance caught Marshall in midair and executed a spinebuster.<\/p>\n<p>Vance rallied the crowd as the audience began flashing Shawn-Spears fingers in unison with Vance. Vance went to apply a full nelson lock on Marshall, but Solo jumped into the ring and slugged Vance across the back. Vance released his full nelson lock, and Uno ran in to counter Solo. Uno kicked Solo with a high boot, but Marshall immediately kicked Uno with a boot of his own. Marshall attempted a Diamond Cutter on Uno, but Uno overpowered him and refused to be taken down by the cutter. Marshall then spun around and struck Uno with his forearm.<\/p>\n<p>Then, AM-radio-enthusiast, Q.T. Marshall, ran at Vance, but Vance caught Marshall in another full nelson. Marshall once again fought off Vance\u2019s full nelson and superkicked Vance for his efforts. Things looked bleak for Vance, but only momentarily because Vance roared back to life and executed an inside-out lariat on Marshall. Vance placed Marshall in the please-moonsault-me position and tagged in Uno. Uno climbed to the top rope, jumped off, and landed a Swanton Bomb onto Vance for a two-count.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClose but no cigar,\u201d Henry said.<\/p>\n<p>Vance stepped into the ring and helped Uno put Marshall on his shoulders. Solo ran into the ring to save Marshall, but in the process, he knocked Uno over, and Marshall went down courtesy of Solo. Solo distracted Uno long enough for Marshall to go for his Diamond Cutter once again, but Uno blocked the cutter in the same manner as he had before. Uno shoved Marshall toward the ropes, but Marshall managed to use the kinetic energy created by Uno to run across the ring and punch Vance.<\/p>\n<p>Q.T. Marshall, a man who thinks ketchup is a vegetable, turned his attention back to Uno, but Uno slugged Marshall with a forearm to the face. Solo then hit Uno with a corkscrew windmill kick, and Marshall finally got to execute his Diamond Cutter on Uno. Marshall covered Uno, but because the very idea of being covered in \u201cMarshall\u201d is disgusting, Vance jumped into the ring and interfered by shoving Solo into Marshall. Fans were alive, raucous, and thoroughly enjoying the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPandemonium!\u201d Excalibur exclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>Man-who-always-posts-late-BeReals, Q.T. Marshall, tossed Vance out of the ring and tagged in Solo. Uno used the upstage left turnbuckles to pull himself back to his feet, and Marshall whipped Solo toward Uno. Uno lunged out of the way, and Solo splattered against the turnbuckles. Solo teetered and tottered his way out of the corner, and Uno caught him with a jawbreaker. Moments later, Vance made a blind tag, but Marshall saw it and ran at Vance; however, Vance speared Marshall.<\/p>\n<p>Solo attempted another corkscrew windmill kick, but Vance ducked underneath Solo\u2019s leg. Vance then grabbed hold of Solo, picked Solo up in the wheelbarrow position, and with the help of Uno, he hot-shotted Solo on the top rope and used the inertia from that hotshot to execute a German suplex. Marshall tried to get back into the ring, and Uno blocked him by running down the apron and executing a flying cannonball senton onto Marshall.<\/p>\n<p>Vance trapped Solo in his full nelson lock and shook him back and forth like a singular maraca. Unable to escape Vance\u2019s monster-like grip, Solo was forced to tap out and end the match.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Dark Order (Preston Vance &amp; Evil Uno) in 9:00<\/p>\n<p><em>(David\u2019s Analysis: This was by far the best match on the card; it had the time to breathe, and the wrestlers involved made sure they gave it the oxygen to do so. The crowd was fully behind Dark Order and loved cheering for them, especially Evil Uno. It is not easy to be as hateable as Marshall\u2019s character is, but he knows how to make it look easy. On the \u201cplease punch this man\u201d chart, only the wrestlers MJF, Sammy Guvera, and The Acclaimed come out ahead of Marshall. Vance and Uno have good chemistry together, but I still miss Stu Grayson.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; After the match, the audience gave Evil Uno &amp; Preston Vance a standing ovation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> This week\u2019s match of the night goes to Dark Order vs. The Factory. It isn\u2019t even close! If you only have time to watch one match this week, watch that one. If you have time to watch two matches, then check out Soho vs. Howitzer, and if you have time to watch three matches, check out Rose vs. Max \u201cThe Impaler.\u201d I\u2019d love to see Max \u201cThe Impaler\u201d and Heidi Horwitzer on the AEW roster. They are so \u201cinto\u201d their characters, and I could easily see them teaming with Abadon to form a stable.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you all for reading. I truly appreciate it.
