AEW Dark 11/24 (The First Hour)
Intro: Three hours of mid-carders winning over debuting wrestlers seems a bit extreme. I looked at the first hour of the latest show. In 57 minutes there were five matches. Each match had a "debuting" wrestler face off against a mid-card wrestler with absolutely no surprise outcome. There were a few buildup segments and promos, but nothing too serious. Match 1: Vipress vs. Big Swole (w) Match flow: Started with tie-ups and light takedowns, then followed intense face and body strikes and ended with some strong throws. Match Majority: Tie-ups and jockeying for position Common throws: arm drags, hair throws, snapmare. Strike variety: shoulder charges, back elbows Strong throws: Northern lights from Big Swole, Sideslam, tiger driver to cloverleaf submission from Big Swole for the win. Impression: Nothing out of the ordinary for a women's match. Big Swole is great at suplexes and drivers. Match Importance: A way to boost Big Swole Match 2: Lee Johnson/Aaron Solow vs. Alex Rey...
