Mox and Eddie being buddies and dealing with poo poo (possibly just the Good Brothers, or maybe against Butcher and Blade given Eddie's history with them) is super fun and a great use of both of them.

It also might be cheesy but I'd love for Hangman to win the belt thanks to Dark Order, Eddie and Mox, Kaz, Best Friends, and Death Triangle all putting aside their differences for one night to beat down the Elite and prevent any kind of interference.

This would own.

Also this is an odd question, but are you the same Fancy I used to shoot the poo poo with? I'm pretty sure this is a different account (or just a username switch but I think it's an entirely different account), but I think I might be right? If so, hi Fancy! :)

Can you expand on this? Because imo that was one of the greatest entrances of all time. Probably second only to Sandman at ONS 2005.

There's a few problems I have with it:

1. I'm sorry, but I'm just never ever going to get the "someone's going to die" vibe I want from a Mox theme with Wild Thing. I know, I know, Onita, etc., just a personal preference.
2. Something I couldn't figure out is where the actual vocals ended and the crowd singalong began. As I recall, the WILD THING shouts in the version Mox uses includes some baked in arena-esque effects by default so I wasn't sure.
3. I just really really liked Unscripted Violence as a wrestling theme and I'm going to miss it.

Thanks for explaining. I was genuinely curious and didn't want to just go "YOU'RE WRONG I LOVED IT :hurr:" like had happened a few weeks ago when you said you didn't like it. I totally get your points.

At least from what TK was saying, it sounds like Unscripted Violence will still be Mox's theme when he comes out alone.

That'd be cool as hell and would address all my qualms but also doesn't make sense because the first time he used it was the NJPWUSC match vs. Kojima (even though Eddie was in his corner).

I like Wild Thing a lot but my brain has also been programmed to expect a murder when Unscripted Violence kicks in so I'm glad to hear it's staying. It's inextricably linked to some of my favourite AEW moments at this point.

Yeah that's the vibe I get too, which again makes perfect sense and is fine, I just don't know where to slot in Mox when he comes back!

Unlike WWE the AEW landscape is constantly changing so rankings and even the roster could be completely different by the time Mox returns, assuming he's taking at least a month or two. The last crop of WWE releases are able to compete around mid July so there's lots of potential opponents there like the handicap match against the Iconics we've all been hoping they can make happen.

Wild Thing seems really weird as a theme song because it's really a love (or at least lust) song with a killer hook. The Major League version at least alters the vibe a lot.

I liked the Troggs version specifically in the context of the Nagata match. I don't have a ton of use for the version they have as Moxleys theme right now but whatever, the audience can sing along. That's cool.

I wouldn't hate a Mox heel turn after not getting the job done in a couple feuds. He already sort of acts like one, he's just beating down other heels. I can pretty much already hear Eddie cutting a promo like "Maybe you weren't paying attention, we've always been bad guys."


Ziggy Tzardust posted:

This is a really good tron/theme and fixes the big issue I had with Page/Sky. They felt so thrown-together that I couldn't take them seriously. Now they've had a bit of time to gel and they've settled on a gimmick of "GQ Guys" there's a lot more to like about them
Page has won me over after just being "a guy" when he showed up, but Scorpio still needs to tweak something in his personality. I think a lot of that is his acting ability, but AEW's good at finding a niche for people.

Unscripted Violence is a much better theme, and hopefully Wild Thing goes away again once he’s done tagging with Eddie.

I’ve never seen Major League because I’m not from a country that gives a poo poo about baseball, and I’m not deep enough into FMW to have a hardon for Onita, so it does nothing for me on either front.

As someone who actively hates baseball in reality because of how boring it is, movies about baseball are great. You should see major league it's very fun.

They just play it too much. Save it for big stuff. Using it for Onita was the best use and it's gone down hill since because it's not as special.

Mox, Eddie, Kaz keep loving with The Elite and trashing their matches/segments and generally loving with them and they build to revealing Hangman is behind it all (he's been shown to Pay Attention and Get Things Done [matt hardy contract]) laughing at Kenny in a dressing room mirror

you could also cash in Bucks vs Hangman as well, they have standing debts

Same. I also hold the incredibly powerful opinion that Unscripted Violence whips almost the degree of the SCSA theme so I like to hear it.

However I enjoy it when a tag team and its members all have individual music, especially when it’s a team of two individuals and not a tag team specialist/faction kind of thing. Like of the AEW roster, Young Bucks or Dark Order don’t need individual music for each of the members while Mox/Eddie, Darby/Sting or perhaps MOTY do.

No that must be somebody else but hi anyway :)

I will also support Wild Thing 100%, and I've never seen Major League or an Onita match. It's unique and fun and has an incredible energy to it.

Actually even better, Tony needs to get someone to do a cover of "The Creatures" version of Wild Thing where they changed it to ""Wild thing, I think I hate you/but I wanna know for sure/so come on, hit me hard/I hate you"

turn it all around

I really kinda love Wild Thing as a theme, especially as crowds are coming back. His old theme was nothing to write home about, it was just your basic, generic rock wrestling theme. This at least gets the whole crowd singing along and having fun in a way less obtrusive way than the extended Judas singalong.

Also, kind of hoping they keep the setup at Daily's Place for the next handful of Dynamites they're still going to be doing there before they hit the road. it made for some weird camera angles and missed shots as they got used to things, but it's sort of a neat shot having the hard camera in a spot where you see a crowd below/in front of the camera and across the ring behind the wrestlers. It's at least nice that AEW is routinely experimenting with layout like this and not stuck in the "hard camera here, entrance ramp on the left" for every show even though I know that's what we'll get in regular arenas post-Daily's.

Catching up on Dark Elevation, and everyone needs to see the Drake / Jungle Boy match. Not just because it's a good match, although it is, but because of how much the crowd absolutely lose it for Jungle Boy. Like, even moreso than in the battle royal. The match with Kenny is going to be insane.
