Old post but I read this as "Evil Bee Keeper" and now I'd really like to see that gimmick. Just a masked dude with a lil smoke wand and a sack of bees.

I think the bigger thing that annoys me with the DO thing is that people keep declaring that whatever spooky wrestler gets fired would be the PERFECT NEW LEADER of the Dark Order despite the fact that the Dark Order aren't even those guys anymore. They aren't a cult anymore, they're just a group of goofballs who want to support each other and their sad cowboy friend.

That is a delightfully creative idea. Maybe do a subtle gag about feeling "weird " on Halloween but never follow up on it.

"And I did it, because I was a man who had exhausted reason and thus turned to magicks"
We are at an incredibly interesting bit of wrestling history. Two philosophies of promotion are clashing.

“The brand is the star” vs “Stars draw money”

Every other time this happens, Stars win.

WWE has infinite resources, but we shall see who comes out on top.

Obviously he's worth a try, but I'm not optimistic how well his ideas or his in ring performance would play in AEW. Maybe they could temper his worse instincts the way they seem to have kept Malachi Black on the "cool looking badass who kicks hard" side of his gimmick, but I'll believe it when I see it.

I don't want to see Bray Rotundo in AEW yet, I think he'd be a good shot in the arm in a little while. Maybe around Christmas, as Punk and Bryan aren't quite as new and shiny anymore.

I wanna see him sack up and go to NJPW and learn to get nasty with his hits. His crossbody is rad but I would love to see him get meaner learning from Ishii and Suzuki and Shingo.

This is only acceptable if Miro tosses the sack of bees like he did with Jake's snake.

This is why I was advocating for Sting. If he's not wrestling regularly, having a coolguy veteran mentor who's also kind of spooky would be a great fit. Darby doesn't really need him.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
Windham Lawrence Rotunda the sleazy southern businessman who gets brought in by Matt Hardy to help manage the HFO as it increases in size, but starts to exert more and more control until he is cutting members, citing budget concerns. This could lead to a feud with Matt Hardy over control of the HFO, where Matt turns face when he for the first time shows genuine concern for his underlings who are now being unceremoniously discarded.

“I think for the foreseeable future you’ve seen the last of me in AEW. The door was kept open for a possible return one day. They spoke very highly of my work ethic and my work. I know I have a really good relationship with Tony Khan. He’s an amazing human. He’s an amazing person to work for. I am still able to work for New Japan Pro Wrestling and I’m still able to work for the United Wrestling Network. I’m still able to do my indie dates.”

Sounds awful.

Bray should absolutely show up and join the Dark Order. But not to try and take over as a leader; just because he wants (and maybe needs) to be around Brodie's friends.

F it, just go full feel-good with it.
