If you don't know CMLL for years they had microstars like Kemonito who didn't wrestle, they were just mascots and known as mascots.

So this tweet made me imagine a tiny Kemonito sized Orange Cassidy and how much money AEW would make.

Since Tony does pay attention to Cubs fan, there is now a small chance that a guy tweeting "mascot Pockets" will lead to Tony booking the mascots.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

And with the next pape still four weeks away it’s gonna plod a bit more.

Still, it’s a bit premature to call the storyline dead after four weeks. It’s like asking “why hasn’t Cody finished the story yet?” before they even touch down in Australia for Elimination Chamber.

It is kinda over, isn't it? He's not the devil anymore. They aren't doing devil things. The storyline is they created a secret faction to.... well... to get their leader to lose the tag title and help an unrelated person to their faction win the world championship.

And to hurt MJF's feelings because they're mean jerks, I guess.

They're a heel faction of belt chasers. The point was to build heat for skilled wrestlers like the Kingdom and Rodrick who aren't over as characters, put Wardlow back in the position where folks got into him -the suffering workhorse for an rear end in a top hat- and give Cole screentime/build to his return when he's healed and they're doing all of that.

This isn't a complex story, how are folks missing it? It does suck that it's attached to the wet fart of the devil storyline though tbh

There’s also the fact that what we’re getting now is 100% a pivot based on injuries. Pulling MJF off tv while he heals makes more sense than a guy in a walking boot hollering at a guy in a sling over the next 6 months.

Yeah, which is also why the devil storyline was so plodding. I don't think anyone in creative thought it was brilliant storytelling -it was a holding pattern while they tried to navigate those injuries.

If you want to make the angle make sense, it helps that heel Adam Cole is a short-sighted dumbass. That way the IRL confusion over where to take the angle after your traitor explodes his ankle and your champion pops all his joints becomes your scumbag heels losing track of the step between "break MJF's heart" and "be world-dominating champions" in-character.
