We had another Aew pay-per-view this past weekend, so you know what that means… A bonus Saturday episode of Aew: Dark which thankfully only features a handful of matches rather than the growing number of the regular Dark features! Anyway, on with the review…
Match #1: The Acclaimed def. The Workhorsemen
My Thoughts: A great start to this special extra episode of Dark, with one of my favourite tag teams taking on one of Aew’s most popular tag teams in a match that ended up being a exciting back and forth that thankfully didn’t have The Workhorsemen just lying down and eating the pin.
My Score: 3.5 out of 5 Match #2: Daniel Garcia def. Aaron Solo

Welcome to this week’s review of Aew: Dynamite, which was broadcast live from the Cow Palace in San Francisco, California. We’ve got Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz on commentary so let’s get into the review!
Match #1: Aew All-Atlantic Championship Match – Orange Cassidy def. Big Bill The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:
Cassidy walked out of the ring and invited Big Bill onto the floor, playing mind games with Big Bill. Cassidy was looking for a sunset flip in the ring but Big Bill grabbed him and hurled Orange into the corner. Big Bill planted Orange with a high side slam and followed up with a running splash in the corner. Big Bill booted Orange out of the ring! Stokely Hathaway cleared off the timekeeper’s table. He and Big Bill moved the table toward the ramp. Big Bill wanted to chokeslam Orange through the table but Cassidy fought back.

Welcome back to another review of Aew Dark: Elevation, which features six matches on the card and runs just over 35 minutes – that’s what I like to see, short and sweet wrestling action! We’ve got Paul Wight and Matt Menard on commentary, with Roh’s Ian Riccaboni added to the mix this week… so let’s get into the review.
Match #1: Skye Blue def. Zoe Dubois
My Thoughts: Nice to see Skye Blue open a show and Zoe Dubois was an interesting opponent, someone who’s style is certainly unique. This wasn’t anything remarkable and certainly not up to the standard of Blue’s more recent matches. Still, a great start to this week’s Elevation.
My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: The Butcher and The Blade def. David McCallion and Richie Slade

Welcome back to another review of Aew Dark: Elevation, which features a sub-1 hour show this week, with only 8 matches on the card, which pleases me a Lot! We’ve got Paul Wight and Matt Menard on commentary, so let’s get into the review.
Match #1: Emi Sakura, Marina Shafir and Nyla Rose def. Johnnie Robbie, Vipress and Zyra
My Thoughts: This match saw a return to the Shafir/Rose/Vickie squabbles that we’ve seen previously – they’re obviously building to the split between the trio but at the same time I’ve enjoyed the teaming of Nyla Rose’s intensity with Vickie Guerrero’s brash attitude and I’ll miss it when the split does happen. As for this match? It felt more like an angle than a match but still, an Aew quasi-squash is still an Aew quasi-squash!

Welcome back to another review of Aew Dark: Elevation, which features 11 matches on this week’s show – urghhhh, I’m not a fan of these longer cards, especially given most matches are usually squashes! We’ve got Paul Wight and Matt Menard on commentary, so let’s get into the review.
Match #1: Brian Cage def. Schaff
My Thoughts: As this started I thought “here we go, another Brian Cage squash” but that is Not what we got! The crowd in attendance were clearly behind Schaff and so we actually got something of a competitive match, with Cage letting Schaff showcase his stuff for those unfamiliar with his work. In the end that made for a great match!

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week is a stacked show – not only do we have eleven matches on this card we have appearances by the likes of Kenny Omega, who hasn’t wrestled on Dark in almost Two years! On with the review…
Match #1: Kenny Omega def. Hagane Shinno
My Thoughts: Hagane Shinno’s profile has been slowly building over the weeks until this, what would be a main event match if it was anyone Other than Shinno. Instead he gets to take on Kenny Omega in the opening match of Dark. And Kenny was very giving here, letting Shinno get some near falls and plenty of offence in. A cracking opening to this week’s show.
My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: Action Andretti def. Invictus Khash

Match #1: Marina Shafir def. Jazmin Allure
My Thoughts: Shafir dominated this match, squashing Allure in less than two minutes. Short and sweet but very effective.
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Emi Sakura and The Bunny def. Lady Bird Monroe and Gigi Rey
My Thoughts: Another squash match. Not much to say about this one other than Emi Sakura and The Bunny made for a good team – both of them have evil streaks that really added to the storytelling of this one.

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which features 8 matches on the card this week (thankfully; I do love a shorter show)… On with the review!
Match #1: Lee Johnson, Qt Marshall and Cole Karter def. Justin Corino, Ryan Mooney and Steven Josifi
My Thoughts: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the new additions to The Factory faction have given the group a huge boost. Case in point, this match. Johnson and Karter work well as a duo and even made Qt Marshall a new edge!
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Zack Clayton def. Chris Wylde

Match #1: Marina Shafir def. Sio Nieves
My Thoughts: We’re in quasi-squash territory for this one. Unfortunately Shafir hasn’t lived up to her potential so far but there’s still time for her to develop in matches like this or… Maybe its time to get Shafir a manager as a mouth piece? Her in-rings skills are fine but she seems to get distracted by the storytelling aspects of wrestling.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Ari Daivari def. Ar Fox
My Thoughts: This was a great match between two guys that are always seemingly under most fan’s radar(s). This was a fantastic display of technical wrestling from Daivari and Fox. I may not like Daivari’s new faction but...

Match #1: Penelope Ford def. Alice Crowley
My Thoughts: Nice to see Penelope Ford in action once again and, as commentary pointed out, she looked rather more aggressive in this one than usual. This was pretty much a squash match for Ford, hopefully to build her numbers and get her back into the main event picture.
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Darius Martin & Matt Sydal def. Cezar Bononi & Ryan Nemeth
My Thoughts: Another good outing for the team of Darius Martin & Matt Sydal, though I appreciated that this one went a Lot longer than their Elevation match this week! Cezar Bononi & Ryan Nemeth are the wrong kind of opponents for Martin and Sydal though…

It seems both teams are floundering somewhat after the end of the Hfo/Ahfo so to see them in action is good, even more so when the in-ring action is good too!

Tia Bonta was by all accounts a doting mother living in Orlando, Florida, with her baby boy — so when the 25-year-old vanished last August, her family prepared for the worst.
“She would never just leave like that,” her father told local TV station Wkmg, “especially since she has a kid.”
Eventually, her family’s fears were realized.
Authorities said that in September, two men made a grisly discovery while picking palmetto berries in Bithlo, Florida, a rural municipality outside Orlando: As they were searching for berries, the men found the skeletal remains of a woman about six feet off the road.

Bernadette Hernandez, 55, died unexpectedly of a brain aneurysm, the AP reports. She passed away Saturday (June 1) at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, Mars' hometown.
Hernandez, who immigrated to Hawaii from the Philippines, played a key role in nurturing her son's career. Mars (whose given name is Peter Hernandez) and his siblings were part of a family band that performed in Honolulu, and he became known for his Elvis impersonations as a child.
"I wouldn't trade it for anything," he told Rolling Stone of his time with the family band, called The Love Notes.
Mars' brother Eric plays drums in his current band, and their four sisters are recording their first album as the Lylas -- and being recorded for a reality show on We in the fall.
Bernadette Hernandez, 55, died unexpectedly of a brain aneurysm, the AP reports. She passed away Saturday (June 1) at Queens Medical Center in Honolulu, Mars' hometown.
Hernandez, who immigrated to Hawaii from the Philippines, played a key role in nurturing her son's career. Mars (whose given name is Peter Hernandez) and his siblings were part of a family band that performed in Honolulu, and he became known for his Elvis impersonations as a child.
"I wouldn't trade it for anything," he told Rolling Stone of his time with the family band, called The Love Notes.
