Dark had some great moments this week but as usual, the bloated card made the show drag at times.
Matches:

“Superbad†Kip Sabian w/ Penelope Ford vs. Corey Hollis: Sabian’s hot-streak continued with a Deathly Hollows.
Best Friends: Trent and Chuck Taylor vs. Brady Pierce and Sabby: Best Friends scored a confident win with a Strong Zero to Pierce.
Will Hobbs vs. “Absolute†Ricky Starks: Starks was able to lift Hobbs’ imposing frame and plant him with the Chickenwing Sitout Sidewalk Slam to score another impressive win.Â
Aaron Solow vs. Scorpio Sky: Sky fired up and hit a TKO to continue his recent winning streak in solo competition.Â
KiLynn King vs. Diamante: Diamante turned King inside out with a snappy Code Red to put the match to bed.Â
Robert Anthony vs. Darby Allin: Allin was able to overcome Anthony’s size advantage and find the Coffin Drop for his first win since his return last week. After the bell, “The Machine†Brian Cage got some payback for Fight for the Fallen with help from Ricky Starks.
“The Librarian†Peter Avalon w/ “The Librarian†Leva Bates and Brandon Cutler vs. The Butcher and The Blade: Cutler and Avalon went another week winless thanks to a Full Death from Butcher and Blade.
