Not really into Kingston/Archer. The last few weeks have been my first real introduction to Kingston and Iâm just not there with him, and thereâs something really inauthentic about Archer.  Finally realised why I recognise âThe Butcherâ - heâs the fucking guitarist from Every Time I Die. Incredible. He looks the bollocks, too. Push please. Good Moxley promo. Bad Sting/Allin promo. Only made tolerable by Schiavone and JR taking the piss afterwards: âHoodlums? Thatâs hard hitting stuff JR.â He might be a chunky monkey, but I enjoy Jericho more now than I think I did when he was young. Mad hearing Auf Wiedersehn PACâs accent on display in those promos. Heâs a good promo though. The Cody segment was horrendous. Whatâs the vibe on Cody? I really like him and think he stands out as a real star of the company, but heâs really under used. Will they renege on the stip that he canât win the title? Whatâs the deal with that? He seems like a ready made world champion for them. I know itâs not professional, but JR completely knee-capping Red Velvetâs promo made me laugh. Highlight of Ziggler-lite and Page was Pageâs entrance graphic: âAccompanied by crippling emotional baggageâ Jungle Boy/Dax didnât capture me In the first half, but grew into itself. Itâs almost a shame that JB and John Silver exist on the samE show, as you could see both growing into AEWâs âyes movementâ era Daniel Bryan. Main event was great, but the acts are all a bit off. Anyone care to explain The Dark Order? Lots of sinister branding, but seem like a comedy troupe? The Bucks have no idea what they are or why they do the things they do. The Good Broâs know their act, but itâs shit so fuck âem. That âbiz clizzâ and â...izzleâ nonsense is awful. In short for Dark Order Start of AEW to March 2010 - Reallllllly shit cult gimmick. March 2010 - Brodie Lee revealed as their leader and begins recruiting vulnerable babyfaces in losing streaks or crossroads career wise. During this time on the online BTE show, the Dark Order begin a veer into comedy with Brodie as this vicious leader amongst basically goofy batman villains. This got really over. Then Brodie passed away, they were veering into this angle where without their evil cult leader, they are actually a group who bond over being a bit quirky but friends. So they're now pivoted to being faces, couldn't really avoid it, you had to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I can find has it at just under 1 million. They played a promo during AEW Dark (I think after the Minus 1 dark order commentary match) for it, so that's TNT saying that. I am guessing that probably means on demand, clips and repeats because they never get that size audience on TNT for anything.

Back in his prime he did some DTV acting in the DC superhero film Steel and IIRC released a rap album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the family is receiving great support from AEW which is lovely to hear. Heartbreaking story though.

Yeah lots of fantastic sounding support and family given the ultimate decision on everything. Still amazes me that nothing broke at all given wrestling being what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackpot Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Kenny and Hangman are bound to collide again at some point. Kenny and Impact wrestling have teamed up together. Impact's tag team champions happen to be Kenny's best mates, Anderson & Gallows. Gallows & Anderson are set to defend their Impact tag team titles against AEW's Private Party. Private Party just happen to now be managed by Matt Hardy. Matt Hardy now wants to get Hangman into his circle. But because of Omega, Gallows and Anderson having their other mates, the Young Bucks onside, Hardy's firm is always outnumbered leading us to Stampede Stampede II. Bullet Club v Matt Hardy/Adam Page/Private Party and the debuting Jeff Hardy with the stipulation being if Bullet Club lose, Hangman gets his shot at the World Title five years from now because it's long-term booking. And we'll still be none-the-wiser if the Bucks are meant to be heels or faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Blog Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 In an ideal world I want Bray to come into AEW as a take on his cult persona, take control of Dark Order through bullying etc until Hangman liberates them which keeps Page and Omega apart a bit longer and gives DO something to do.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
