I am honestly intrigued by the Dark Order vignettes and the best part is that we know that someone from the AEW roster is going to join the dark side in the weeks to follow. Kenny Omega was mentioned and so was Michael Nakazawa, and a lot more people from the roster too!
But at the same time, the whole presentation of the Dark Order with the creepers and everything else does not do justice to what is often presented in the vignettes, and that is the absolute truth. I love the element of anyone joining the faction at any moment, as was the case with the nWo but somehow The Dark Order does not have the same kind of magnitude as the legendary faction from WCW.

Bash at the Beach wasn't the best show I've seen from All Elite Wrestling but I think it was a pretty good setup show, all said and done. I haven't touched upon a few aspects of the show such as Kenny Omega and Hangman Page earning a shot at SCU, because honestly, it's neither best nor worst, to be fair.
