Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week features thirteen(!) matches… Yes, the match count is creeping up, something I’m not a fan of! Anyway, on with the review.
Match #1: Christopher Daniels def. Brian Pillman Jr.
My Thoughts: It’s great to see Christopher Daniels in action again, even if it is on Dark. This was a decent back and forth, with an outcome that was always in doubt (which is great to see!). Daniels hit the Bme for the crowd-pleasing finish.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Emi Sakura def. Jada Stone
My Thoughts: Jada Stone got one move in here, I’m not sure that even qualifies as a typical Aew quasi-squash Tbh. Not much wet on here, so not much more to say than that!
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #3: Ryan Nemeth def. Dak Draper
My Thoughts: Who cares… It’s a Ryan Nemeth match.

Welcome to this weeks episode of Aew: Dark, I’m editor Phil and let’s not mess around with extraneous introductory waffle and let’s just jump straight into this!
Match #1: Lance Archer def. Zicky Dice
My Thoughts: Zicky Dice, formerly of Nwa (and a one-time Nwa TV Champion), makes he Aew debut getting completely destroyed by Lance Archer. Like Totally destroyed… Throw in the ring, around the ring, and in the air. Dice never stood a chance.
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Abadon def. Willow Nightingale
My Thoughts: Between Ricky Starks’ reaction on commentary and Willow’s reaction in ring, this match made Abadon look even more freakish that usual. Willow Nightingale has been doing great work on Aew (and Roh) and it will be interesting to see her career trajectory in a few years time. Meanwhile Abadon… well sh was Abadon – badass and brutal as usual!

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the finals of the Opera Cup, so get ready for the fat lady to start singing. Oprah! Get Ready For Your Brand New Submariiiiiiiiiine!!!!!!!! Low Ki and Tom Lawlor look poised to knock the knuckle-children out of each other like a deranged Easter bunny. I’m so excited to buy a tractor and give it to the homeless so they can mow the parking lot they sleep on at night. We have to care about others. If you are homeless or do know some-one who is, give them a buck and a place to sleep. We all deserve to have some comfort and generosity. Also, I wanna bite ya! Nanananana!!!!! Okay, I’m done filling in this paragraph to make it look like I wrote a lot. We’ve...

Match #1: Ach def. Laredo Kid – 2020 Opera Cup Tournament Match (Opening Round) The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
Before the match, Laredo Kid says he’s going to advance because he’s the most complete luchadore in Lucha Libre. Ach thinks Laredo Kid is fantastic, but he’s not too familiar with his work. That gets Ach excited as he’s ready for the challenge and wants to see Lk at his best. Bell rings and the two stars lock up. Ach takes advantage with an arm wrench and grounds Lk,...

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have lots of wrestling to get to, so get your copy of “The Last Waltz” ready, because it’s time to dance, mama.
Match #1: La Park & El Hijo de La Park defeated Septimo Dragon & Magnus The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
Salina de la Renta shows her serpent-like game plan as the Parks play pals with Septimo & Magnus before going on the attack. El Hijo and his father use “extra curricular means” to maintain control and begin splashing both in the corner. They then begin to take a chunk out of Magnus’ chest with some slaps against the ropes, but Magnus turns the tide with a corkscrew plancha before Septimo follows suit with a Tornillo. Magnus and Septimo get the action back in the ring and go for...

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a big Ladder Match for the main event for the Tag Team Titles. Let’s get right to it.
Match #1: Ace Austin defeated Air Wolf The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
Atlantic City’s Ace demanded this rematch and wanted to exact some revenge on Air Wolf after suffering a loss at the hands of the 19-year-old luchador. The two get down and low on the mat trying to outwit one another with several holds that led to Austin having to reevaluate strategy. A frustrated Austin gripped the mask of Air Wolf and aggressively sent the youngster to the outside. Ace took the moment to literally relax in ring as Air Wolf answered the ten-count at five, but Austin immediately dropkicked Air Wolf crisp in the dome.

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Mlw forgot/neglected to do a recap of their own, so you’ll just be hearing from me again. Hell with it. We’ll do just fine. By the way, Austin Aries makes his big return to Mlw and he does it, right now…
Match #1: Austin Aries beat Adam Brooks
My Opinion: 3.5 out of 5 – They actually gave this time to flourish. This was an excellent introduction for both men, but it was all about Aries here. Aries dominated the wrestling and dictated the pace and purpose of every-thing you saw. Looking fitter and more agile than ever, he took his controversial drawing powers and poured them into the forge of Major League Wrestling and helped craft a bout that will serve as a weapon against any-one that doubts his abilities...

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have more from one of the most interesting leagues around today. Let’s not waste any time. Here comes The Monkees…oh…oh $#!@. I got the wrong one. You know what the thing is called. Hopefully, the matches are better than my introduction.
Match #1: Air Wolf defeated Rey Fenix The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
Nineteen-year-old rookie sensation Air Wolf has become quite a fan favorite in his short time in Mlw. He may have gained a new fan in one half of the Lucha Bros — Rey Fenix. Air Wolf and Fenix squared off and while Air Wolf took a beating from Fenix, he managed to avoid being pinned by the veteran luchadore. Air Wolf had his moments throughout the match, including a pair of German suplexes that were absolute beauties.
