20 AEW Dark and Elevation Regulars that AEW should sign

Now I know, AEW has a very stacked roster, in fact I've considered writing an essay on the risk of AEW's growing roster being top-heavy

I mean we've barely scraped the potential of Brian Cage, Scorpio Sky, Wardlow, Sammy Guevara, TH2, Sonny Kiss, Matt Sydal, Proud and Powerful, Nick Comoroto, Will Hobbs, Serena Deeb (who I know is injured atm), and many more. But with Rampage oncoming maybe there is room for them.

But, we'll stick a pin in that for now, because tonight is AEW's 100th Episode of Dark. A big deal still considering it's one of AEW's 2 weekly youtube wrestling shows, and one of AEW's many Youtube weekly shows if you include vlogs such as BTE, SammysVlogs, Ethan Page's vlog and the AEW-promotional Countdown to and Outside the Ring with Lexy Nair segments and the Unrestricted Podcast. In the pandemic era, Dark became a home to several indie talents in need for work, some got signed but not all, so I'm gonna list 10 men's and 10 women's wrestlers who were regulars on Dark and Elevation who AEW can and should still sign

Note: I will not be including wrestlers who look set for regularity, so Wheeler Yuta, Jora Johl, Fuego and the Wingmen won't be on the list, as will any AEW Women's tournament entrants (Maki Itoh, Madi Wrenkowski, Nicole Savoy etc.). Danny Limelight and Konosuke Takeshita are also signed to MLW and DDT Pro just fyi

10 Men AEW should sign

The men's division is already stacked, and it has a lot of up and comers too, but there are still a few areas where AEW's Dark stalwarts have proven they can fill a void for.

Honorable mentions for: JDX, El Australiano, M'Badu, Jake St. Patrick, Brick Aldridge, Megabyte Ronnie, Suge 'Pineapple Pete' D and Vary Morales. Also Kidd Bandit, but he hasn't wrestled on Dark or Elevation so I couldn't add him in.

10. Marty Casaus Better known as Marty 'the Moth' Martinez from Lucha Underground, Marty trained with AEW after some time out with injury and made some appearances on Dark. As the Moth, Marty demonstrated his character work as a gross heel, but his size was also an asset to his disturbed and near-psychotic persona.

9. Dean Alexander An alumnus of the Nightmare Factory, Alexander has frequented on Dark and Elevation usually in tag action where he hasn't been able to get his dickhead persona across. He is your traditional cocky heel which in the Nightmare Factory showcases has led to his hilarious downfalls, even losing to Negative One in his multiple failures to win in the Main Event of these showcases. Frankly, this is what Baron Corbin should be like if you're gonna mock him, he's also very impressive in the ring.

8. Dillon McQueen Another Nightmare Factory alum, Dillon McQueen has also only been used for jobbing, but his character is actually great. The King of Queens, Dillon brims charisma that would be a winner for crowds, but he has a babyface fire to him as well, easily could be a rising talent with the right training.

7. Dan Barry To be honest, I like his Hawaiian Shirts. He has a lot of experience in the indies and can work in a similar way Colt Cabana works balancing serious and comedy wrestling, would just be pretty cool to see him more.

6. & 5. TNT (Terrence and Terrell Hughes) Sons of D-Von Dudley, TNT have had less appearances on AEW as of recent, which is a shame, because they can definitely be developed as some of the next gen tag teams the Acclaimed and Blonds have been. AEW haven't shied from legacy wrestlers in the past, and the duo definitely have potential.

4. Chandler Hopkins Chandler Hopkins has shown up to be squashed by the big men a lot, but somehow he also manages to eke out some strong entertainment and fluid wrestling in it. His match against Brian Cage is an effective example of this. Like Fuego, Chandler is definitely someone you can use on the undercard for some enhancement, maybe even push up once more character comes across.

3. Ryzin Ryzin has stuck with AEW for quite a while now, even having skits on BTE. The Unholy Father however never got a W on AEW, which is a shame because he has character and promo skills in hand. He could easily be a fit for Chaos Project as well or teamed with Abandon in a James Mitchell kinda role.

2. Carlie Bravo One of the first class alums of the Nightmare Factory, Carlie Bravo remains charismatic and athletic in his showings, he even had a great little pairing with Shawn Dean until Dean's signing, I'd love to see them bring that back - two Navy veterans tearing up the tag scene would be pretty awesome.

1. Baron Black Few have stayed the course during the pandemic era like Baron Black. Debuting in April and still yet to get his first win, he was one of the three touted stars by Cody on Sammy's vlog who he encouraged to be booked around the world because of his workrate and skill. If anyone has earned it that isn't named Fuego del Sol (or that other name Cody mentioned), it's Baron Black.

10 Women AEW should sign In contrast to the men's division, AEW's women's roster does look like it could use some buffing, for midcard and even building more stars.

Honorable mentions are plenty in this one, so just missing out are the following: Ashley D'Amboise, Leila Grey, Renee Michelle, Jazmin Allure, Savannah Evans, Willow Nightingale, the Renegade Twins, Holidead, Kenzie Paige, Jennacide and Brooke Havok (who I would guess will be signed once her leg recovers).

10. Ashley Vox With or without her Sea Stars tag partner, Delmi Exo, Ashley Vox has proven herself a frequent flier for AEW. Talented in singles and tag competition. She also has a strong rapport with many of AEW's current roster.

9. Alex Gracia The Pink Dream has been on ROH as of recent but remains a freelancer, her last appearance being a squash from Dr. Britt Baker DMD. AEW must've been high on Gracia at one point because they gave her a title shot on Dynamite. With experience in Shimmer and Stardom, Gracia would definitely be a worthy addition.

8. Tesha Price Another woman who AEW put on Dynamite rare times, Tesha proved herself to play face and heel during her time on Dark and Elevation. As a heel she showed a lot of fire especially against KiLynn King and Ryo Mizunami, the Psycho Sweetheart definitely has something she can give to the division - who are tbf lacking in heels right now.

7. Vertvixen I am not sure what it is about Vertvixen specifically, but whenever I see her I think she has the look, not to mention the athleticism to boot. Her triple threat on MPW against Jennacide and Jazmin Allure was a definite highlight as of recent.

6. Miranda Alize A former Mae Young Classic competitor, like Jennacide and Gracia she's recently been used by ROH, but she is definitely a confident wrestler and does not shy from the intergender matches either, having fought Laredo Kid and Danny Limelight. She's worked with many impressive wrestlers too, including an Impact Knockouts Title match against Jordynne Grace and matches against Deonna, Taya and Tessa.

5. Reka Tehaka The Samoan Savage may've debuted on AEW's first ever house show, but regular Dark and Elevation appearances have been met with positive reactions. Being partly trained by the Nightmare Factory, Tehaka has done well to establish herself despite only wrestling for a year and a half, she could definitely be a prospect.

4. Veda Scott Okay, so I cheated a little by saying no competitors, but I could not leave out Veda on this list. She has in-ring talent and intergender experience - tagging with her Speedball husband - but on AEW Dark and the Deadly Draw she proved herself excellent on commentary. A female voice in the booth even for just the women's matches would go a long way for the division and Veda's the perfect voice for it.

3. Dani Jordyn The Mean Girl is definitely someone you can call a regular on Dark and Elevation. She works hard and works with a lot of main roster talent, and I don't think I've seen her put on a bad match. So it would be nice to reward her with a contract.

2. Diamante It still baffles me actually that Diamante has yet to become All Elite. Deadly Draw winner and involved in a lot of the Elevation/Dark women's feuds, Diamante has a wealth of knowledge and experience under her belt. She's still popular with fans and can easily step back into her LAX days by pairing with the Inner Circle. Few unsigned talent have won as much as her too, I would say it's when rather than if, but when is taking a long ass time.

1. KiLynn King The three names Cody praised highly were Fuego, Baron Black and KiLynn King, so I think above all else they should be given contracts. In fact, I was surprised King wasn't on the Dark 100 card, by virtue that although King has shown up on Dynamite a few times, she has been on Dark and Elevation 41 times since debuting in May 2020, it was a shock that someone so regular wasn't on the card. King showed she could work as the bully heel but also as a charismatic babyface, even having a little faction brewing with Swole and Red Velvet as RSK, but when crowds came back we seemed to drop the potential of AEW's first all-women faction. King is over with fans...so long as you don't put her against someone as over as Thunder Rosa, and she has put on some lowkey bangers during her time on AEW, especially the one against Riho. Tall and powerful, but fun in the ring and outside the ring with clips of her in the crowd chanting and even vibing to Angelico's music. King would definitely be on the top of my list of AEW Dark regulars that deserve a contract.

I'm sure I might've missed some and opinions may differ, but I think these lot would definitely be able to fit into AEW effortlessly thanks to their time on Dark and Elevation. Many of whom could be used to build or become future champions themselves, and I hope still to see more of them beyond Dark 100.

Big shout out to darkcloud7892 for suggesting this OST!

Hello once again you. Since the last time I uploaded, we reached 1K subs, THANK YOU! Here's to the next thousand (8) and many mooooooree..........BLURGH (8) I don't know this game but gosh dang it this track suggested to me is a bloody belter so I had to cover it! The game is locally known as The Legend Of Heroes: Trails In The Sky Second Chapter however it's Japanese name is more appealing as a video title ;) (There's a cheeky little Bon Iver riff in there somewhere, can you guess where it is? :P) Also the 11/8 section was pretty fun to figure out too. Also also, I've made the transition from 9 gauge strings to 11s and man do they feel great! Still getting used to the stiffness but my fingers are swiftly becoming acclimated to them! Hope y'all enjoy this month's cover! :D Stay safe.

[Translation] Myojo 2018-11 Autumn Fashion (original scan: yoshiko-mama@LJ)

Understanding Their Fashion Situation | Autumn Styling BATTLE!!

Sakuma Ryuto’s Fashion Situation [Closet By Color] 45% Black, 45% White, 10% Other. “I don’t have a lot brightly colored items. The most colorful one I have is a blue green top, but it’s dark toned.” [Regular Shopping Buddy] Inoue Mizuki. “When it’s the two of us, we end up checking out a lot of places. We go to the stores Mizuki-kun wants to go.” [Senpai Who Recently Gifted You Something] Watanabe Shota. “I’ve only received something from Shota-kun. I still remember it, it’s a t-shirt with an image of sunglasses hanging off of it.” [Ideal Couples’ Match With Your Girlfriend] Matching colors. “Rather than have matching items, I think having matching colors is better. If hat’s the case, matching from head to toe is OK too!”

Hashimoto Ryo’s Fashion Situation [Closet By Color] 60% Black, 30% White, 10% Other. “I have one pale pink top.” [Regular Shopping Buddy] Matsuo Tatsuru, Kanno Taiki. “These two invite me to come along. If it were just me, I have no desire to go shopping.” [Senpai Who Recently Gifted You Something] Shimekake Ryuya. “I have a lot of them, but Shime-chan recently gave me a black tote bag. I told him I wanted it, and he gave me it to me right there♪ I’m using it today, too!” [Ideal Couples’ Match With Your Girlfriend] Parka. “But, there aren’t any that aren’t just a plain black or white, huh.”

Inoue Mizuki’s Fashion Situation [Closet By Color] 60% Black, 30% White, 10% Other. “The ‘Other’ is grey (lol). The brightest thing I own is one (1) yellow piece.” [Regular Shopping Buddy] Iwasaki Taisho. “We both work fast. Whenever we want to go shopping, we’re the friends who ask each other.” [Senpai Who Recently Gifted You Something] Morita Myuto. “I bugged him about it for two years, and I got a racing jacket and a bag! I’m so grateful, I have received a lot from many others.” [Ideal Couples’ Match With Your Girlfriend] Wristwatches. “I think it’s too much to go out and be in an Obvious Couples Outfit so I’d rather go with the casual accessory (lol).”

Takahashi Yuto’s Fashion Situation [Closet By Color] 30% Black, 50% White, 10% Other. “100% Patterned (lol). I don’t own a single solid item. When I wear something plain or solid, it’s borrowed from my little brother.” [Regular Shopping Buddy] Suetake Yukihiro. “I’ve been going shopping on my own recently, but I do go with Suetake a lot. The shop I’ve been frequenting lately is the shop Suetake took me to before. [Senpai Who Recently Gifted You Something] Yasui Kentaro, Jesse. “It wasn’t recent, but Ken-chan has gifted me things, but I remember the bracelet the most. I was bugging him about it as a symbol of how close we got through doing Rajira together… and he gave it to me! Jesse-kun gave me a t-shirt when we did the Shonentachi stage show together.” [Ideal Couples’ Match With Your Girlfriend] With accessories. “How about a ring? Of course, it would be a present from me♥”

Igari Soya’s Fashion Situation [Closet By Color] >50% Black, 30% White, 10% Blue, 5% Red, 5% Other. [Regular Shopping Buddy] Sakuma Ryuto, Matsui Minato, Inoue Mizuki. “I’m usually alone, but since I hang out with Saku-chan and Matsui a lot, we end up going shopping, too. With Mizuki-kun, we’re often synced up on when we want to go.” [Senpai Who Recently Gifted You Something] Hirano Sho. “I got a black fur coat. It’s really warm and stylish—I wear it regularly! (Iwahashi) Genki-kun, Shimekake (Ryuya)-kun, Jesse-kun… I can’t list them all, there are so many generous senpai!” [Ideal Couples’ Match With Your Girlfriend] T-shirt. “But, only when wearing an outwear piece. Looks best if the matching t-shirt just peeks out.”

M I Z U K I > In a photoshoot for MYOJO last year, there were these glen plaid underpants, and I saw them again at another location afterwards. I thought they were fated so I decided to buy them from the stylist (lol). Last year, I was really into wearing shorts and vests for a school uniform-ish look. This autumn, I want to try challenge myself with coordinating with monotone tops. > I’m the type of person who immediately decides to buy something the moment I see it—with the price being the only thing potentially holding me back. The other day, I was strolling through Takeshita Street in Harajuku with Sakuma and Hashimocchan. I bought a Coach jacket from a store we passed by. It’s black, and I like the design with the word “STREET” written in white all over the sleeve. It was cheap so the decision was easy! Now if I can find aa white chesterfield coat I’ve been looking for since last year, then it’ll be perfect.

S O Y A > It’s part of my routine to pick out the outfit I’ll wear that day the moment I wake up. But, since I’m indecisive af, I’d have second thoughts while I”m eating breakfast and change my outfit completely. I’d leave the house, change my mind again, and turn back around. Because of all the changes, my parents ask tell me to decide the moment I wake up, but they don’t get it. Picking out my outfits is fun, even the indecisive part♪ > Last autumn, I bought a knit sweater that looked similar to a happi. Since it wasn’t an item available in Japan, I ordered it based on the model’s pictures they had online, but when it came, it was way too big on me (lol). It looked so good online… When I got it last year, autumn was over, and it was too thin of an item to wear in the winter. I had to wear a knitted turtleneck underneath. I’ll wear it at the start of autumn this year—the lead role this time!

R Y U T O > I love wearing t-shirts with funny illustrations like the one I’m wearing today. Even in my personal wardrobe, I have many similar shirts. My favorite is an illustration of a tonkatsu set meal. It’s so cute, the tonkatsu was drawn with a face. It was love at first sight the moment I saw it! Unfortunately, I currently don’t have the courage to wear that t-shirt when I’m out. But, after today, I might be able to do it if I pair it with a long coat like this (lol). > I have a problem with styling myself the same way! Or rather, it’s frustrating that I can only style myself one way… black skinny jeans with a t-shirt… is my go-to. I also came here today like that. I have four pairs of black skinny jeans. Not to mention, they’re all the same brand and style. I’ve also gotten interested in ripped jeans… but when I start thinking the level of ripped looks good, I have no clue (lol).

Y U T O > For a show project, I saw Sakurai (Sho)-kun wear this super flashy outfit and i wanted to try and replicate that outfit! For me, I think it’s a pretty good replication. I’m wearing it, but that necklace is super heavy! And of course the fanny pack. It’s looks shiny, but it’s actually a clear material and you can see inside it. It looks to be in style, but I have no idea what to put in it. And most importantly, the hat. First time I wore a taller one, I kept hitting everything (lol). The white top I’m wearing underneath is close to my personal style … is what I would like to say, but I I have no confidence in wearing solids. I like patterns so I would buy the leopard print shirt (lol). > Lately, I’ve been understanding fashion less and less. I feel like I should be able to wear whatever. To be honest, I want to wear the sweats I wear during lessons out in the streets~ Is that bad!?

R Y O > I’m awful at the layered look. On cold days, I can’t stand just the layers; only warm days, I can’t take it off right away… so that’s why, I only wear a jacket. It’s not something I would pick out myself, but I like this look so I wanted to try it. My wardrobe is all black and white so this navy is a fresh look♪ > Most of my shopping has been done online as of late. It’s not that I don’t have time to go shopping, it’s just simply easier. But, I had a big fail when I bought these harem pants that looked really cool on the Internet… They were just different from what I had in mind. In the end, I haven’t worn them once… But, I really like the sweats I bought recently! It’s a set with a top and bottom in light blue that stands out from everyone else♪ I wear them lots during stage show lessons.

Daily Report

人間は生まれながらにして唯一無二の存在であり、必然的に個性を持っている。それはたとえ、赤ちゃんであっても同様だ。高い知能のある振る舞いが見られなくとも、コミュニケーションが難しいとしても、彼らはその容姿や単純な振る舞いから独立した個であることが確認できる。個性があったとしても知性があるとは限らないが、いずれにせよ人間が「人間」と認識してきた生物には少なからず個性が発現している。一方、人工知能は「生物、特に人間の知能を人工物、特に計算機(コンピュータ)によって模倣しようとする試み」である。これらの試みは、人間の知能を模倣することを目的としておりそこに個性が感じられるとは限らない。例えば機械翻訳に特化したAIモデルは、人間と遜色のつかない精度の翻訳を行うことが可能になってきつつある。しかし、その出力に個性を感じることはできない。特に、人工知能の中でも近年多用される機械学習は大量の学習データを要するため、データセットとなった文章を書いた作者の文体の癖や画像データの傾向はデータが多ければ多いほど薄まる。人工知能が目指す先に個性があるとは限らないが、工夫次第では個性を与えることも可能だ。初音ミクは、その母体となる音声合成エンジンの vocaloid 単体ではただ与えられた入力を人間のような声で返す機械である。しかし、機械に対して初音ミクという名前と2次元の容姿をキャラクタライズすることにより「個性」を獲得した。また、日本マイクロソフトが開発した人工知能「りんな」は、モデルの設計段階から会話応答のキャラクタライズのためにさまざまなアルゴリズムを用いており、リアルな女子高生感が反映された会話を可能にした。人間は生まれながらに個性を持ってしまうのに対し、人工知能は知性の獲得と個性の獲得が分離可能だ。そして、機械に対して我々が「人間らしさ」を感じる瞬間は、その知性ではなくやはり個性である。

私たちは、知性ではなく個性に人間らしさを感じる。Daily Reportはこの仮定を鑑賞者自身が検証する作品だ。この作品では、ブログサイトであるnoteに「# 日記」タグをつけて投稿されている記事および作者の友人 4 人が書いた日記を学習したAIと、作者が約3年にわたり書き続けている日記を学習したAIが日報の著者となり、存在しない架空の日記を LINEアカウントに投稿する。ここで作者の日記を学習したAIは、文体や話題といった作者の個性を色濃く学習している。一方noteを学習したAI は、話題の一貫性や文体の癖が存在せず日々変化していく。鑑賞者は2 つのAI(著者)のうち、どちらが個人を学習したのか、もしくは膨大な数のnoteを学習したAIなのか、区別がつかない状態で日報を受け取る。鑑賞者はLINE公式アカウントを友達追加し、日々届く日記を読んでいくことで著者の区別を試みる。

生成された日報の著者は全て人間ではないことは、その文章生成精度の低さから自明である。本来機械学習モデルは大量のデータを利用しなければ精度の高い出力はできないため、2つがAIの学習した日記は文法的な自然さ、つまり知性の模倣が可能となる文章量には程遠い。しかし上述した仮定が正しければ、作者の日報を学習したAIが生成する日報に表れる個性に対して強い人間らしさを感じることができる。一方、note を学習したAIが生成した日報は、一貫した個性を感じられないため読み進めるほどに人間らしさを失っていく。人間は生まれながらにして個性を持ち合わせるため、人間を対象に上述した仮定の検証は不可能である。この作品は、知性の獲得と個性の獲得が分離可能な人工知能を用いることで、「人間らしさとは何か。」という問いに突きつけた「個性」という一つの答えに対する回答を試みる。そして人工知能が汎用化した現代そして未来の社会において、AIの知的能力を向上させるだけでなく、個性の発達が人間とAIの親和性の向上に重要であるということを示したい。

Daily Report is a project that two Artificial Intelligence generate fictional diaries. One was trained with a large number of articles posted on a blogging platform called "note" with #diary, and another was trained with diaries that the artist has been writing for more than two and a half years. Each Artificial Intelligence continues to post a journal to their LINE account daily, but we can not tell which AI wrote the journal at first glance. However, we would gradually be able to identify an author because we can sense the tendency of time to post and contents of the diary generated by the AI. We will use the two AI models to verify that not only intelligence but also individuality can be essential elements that constitute humanity.
