Show Recap:
Dark began with a In memory of Brodie Lee graphic, but that was all there was on the show since it was done last week. Given Lee s sudden passing on Saturday, it s understandable that they couldn t edit the show but there were a few awkward moments given what we know now.
Not being a regular Dark watcher, this show really lacked life due to no fans and being a solid two hours.
Dark began with a tribute graphic of Brodie Lee. Excalibur then welcomed us to Dark, and was joined on commentary by Taz…
1. Vary Morales vs. Rey Fenix. Fenix rolled up Morales as the bell rang, but Morales kicked out of a pinfall attempt. The two dodged each other’s moves before breaking again. Morales threw a right strike to Fenix, and a running knee strike. While Fenix was in the corner, Morales smashed his boot in Fenix’s face. Morales then hit the flipping senton on Fenix in the corner again. Morales put Fenix in a brief submission before Fenix broke the hold by escaping the maneuver.
