20 minutes to bell time, building is just filling up.
Gotta say this for AEW, they sell a lot of merchandise.
Their ring announcer Dasha is really pleasant.
They're welcoming some Special Olympics Ontario athletes before Dark happens. No matter what you say about Tony Khan's booking, he is a really good hearted person.
Zack Clayton vs Shane Saber - a Toronto local. A loud "We want JWow" chant happened early on. Clayton wins quickly. Clayton was booed but looked good here.
Hikaru Shida is the first "name" tonight taking on Vanessa Kraven. Kraven is strong early but Shida takes over, does the 10 punches in the corner. I'm really glad I don't have to listen to Excalibur for this. A couple 2 counts later and a kick to finish it off and Shida wins.
8 man tag coming up. Jose joins Excalibur and Taz on commentary. Dark order of Evil Uno, John Silver, Alex Reynolds and Ten vs 4 guys I couldn't catch the name of. I have a feeling that won't matter too much. Evil Uno gets a chant early on for just standing on the apron. Rick Knox is the referee so no surprise all 8 guys are in the ring at the same time here with no semblance of order. I can make fun of this all I want, but the crowd loves it! Uno with the win for the Dark Order.
James Stone vs Danhausen. Danhausen is more over than even Shida and Evil Uno were earlier. Danhausen makes Stone submit in a come from behind victory.
Eddie Kingston and Ortiz vs. Mo Jabari and Jake O'Reilly. Eddie is mad over with people on their feet for him. Ortiz wins it with a Perfectplex after chops galore. Eddie tries choking the guy out after the bell, but Ortiz convinced him to let go.
Best Friends and Orange Cassidy in a six man tag match vs Steven Mays, Jessie V and someone else I couldn't catch the name of. Cassidy gets the hot tag and 3 Orange Punches later to all 3 opponents and it's all over. Best Friends win.
Willow Nightingale defeated former ROH personality Seleziya Sparkz. Sparkz reminds me of Sonya Deville and looks really talented. Willow wins after a dominator powerbomb.
QT Marshall vs Dante Martin. People love to boo QT. QT with power moves bullying Dante early. QT gets on the mic and threatens to leave Canada if we don't stop booing. Dante bumps like crazy for QT while QT milks the crowd. Dante doing a dive is really impressive live. After a few false finishes Dante gets the win.
Ari Davari with Sonny Kiss vs Brandon Cutler. I took a moment to yell at Cutlet how much he sucks. Sonny with a vicious kick outside while the ref is distracted. Sonny is perhaps the best part of this match and Cutlet can't help but dance like a moron between every bit of offense. Ari Davari wins thankfully. Ari calls out Hook saying he wants to take the FTW title personally after not being able to buy it. Hook comes out to get in Ari's face then leaves.
Lance Archer vs. some poor guy they didn't announce but was dragged out down the ramp and beat the crap out of by Lance. This was all Archer, with no hope for the nameless one.
Athena vs. Alexia Nicole is next. Athena wins after some early fire by Alexia. Crowd was into Alexia because she's local. After winning they raise each other's hand and hug.
Aaron Solo vs Serpentico with Luther. Luther is wearing the Canadian flag for a cape. If this doesn't end with him using that cape to choke out Solo I'll be disappointed. Crowd is reminding everyone how much QT sucks as the match begins. QT comes out in his street clothes to a huge chorus of boos. With a single kick to a prone Serpentico outside QT is getting a bigger reaction than anyone else in the match so far. Luther suplexes Solo outside and then gets attacked from behind by QT. This leads to a Solo victory
Women's tag match Emi Sakura and Serena Deeb vs Taylor Rizing and partner who's name I didnt catch. Serena showed how awesome she is and she wins it with Emi with simultaneous submissions. I can't put in words just how good Serena is compared to most of the other ladies.
Nick Comoroto with The Factory vs. Ricky Starks. QT is getting called an a-hole by the crowd while Comoroto is dominant. The ref finally sends QT and Solo to the back after too much interference. Ricky Starks gets the win.
