[6.0] "I completely agree this episode of Dark went way too long, but the actual wrestling was overwhelmingly good. Even the squashes were done right. The Dark Order trios match was a complete blast for the absolutely outrageous bumps D3 and Louis Valle took: I hope those two got a few extra dollars for being tossed around like that. I almost shed a tear on hearing Kazarian's promo because that's pretty much what I have always thought about him, but I also know at 43 his ceiling is sadly limited. I confess I had never KTB in action before and he impressed me very positively, for no other reason he really put his back into his match: that's a great introduction. Luchasaurus, Butcher and the Blade, Scorpio Sky, Jungle Boy... They may be midcarders but they are always entertaining to watch. On the negative I just cannot get into Shawn Spears and Ricky Starks is still lost on me. The two women's matches were just bad and mercifully short: I think at this point it's apparent the women's division is the real Achilles' heel of AEW. Oh and Matt Sydal is probably already getting his few AEW matches getting to his head."

[7.0] "Contrary to most, I enjoyed a lot this episode of Dark. Every match have sense, not many random squashes... good!"

[4.0] "I tried to watch this twice and literally fell asleep both times, got through it on the third watch, and just meh. Not a bad show, and I always love Ricky Starks on commentary, but it just felt kind of pointless."

[2.0] "I love AEW, but I hate watching Dark. At least the dark order have two cool finishes between alan angels and silver, reynolds, and ten"

[5.0] "This was a good dark but I do agree the length was a bit of an issue, although it did seem to go by faster than some of the worse shorter episodes. Spears vs. Daniels was a real match that I would want to see. Starks was better on commentary than last week. Penta vs. QT was a good match and actually had an angle and a reveal that the bunny/Allie is back with Butcher & Blade and not with QT. KTB is a solid name-brand Indie talent who deserved this break. Kaz vs. Jack Evans was OK and watchable although Kaz's promo was formulaic and rambley. Dark Order 6 man worked well and they looked good - I also liked the "drinking bird" finisher. Fenix vs. Sonny Kiss was an average match considering who was involved as these styles didn't really work well together. Shawn Dean needs to pick up a win somewhere considering he's going on 6 months with the company and is now co-featuring on Dark. I'm not a fan of these Wardlow supersquashes. These aren't getting him or his knee lift over when they take out some guy you've never heard of in less than a minute - the point being we don't see if the other guy can even work the quality of the win is zilch. Still this was more entertaining than most recent Dark episodes. I'm torn between 6 and 5 here, but went 5 because I had so many complaints. Really some rarely nice spots on this Dark though."
