Malakai Black is getting sent right back to developmental, and will become the factorys secret weapon.

It was kinda oddly put together. I hope they'll dump the whole thing unedited on Elevation.

According to AEW Unrestricted, Charlie infiltrated the Sammy Vlog in order to keep an eye on things, he got in too deep and became a legit part of the vlog instead.

The bigger scoop is Tony Khan wanted to recreate the gobbledy gooker.

Please announce more stuff for Dallas. I'm already going but I'd really like to know if I'm getting more than a 2 hour Britt Baker marathon.

You gotta factor in Elevation, it'll be a 2:40 Bakerthon.

Am i the only person that thought JR seemed more lively and less cantankerous last Wednesday? I know there are some here who do not like him anymore, but I think he's the kind of dude who likes being on the road and feeling the crowd and it showed. That and air conditioning probably helped too.

JR's grumpyness ebbed and flowed even in Jacksonville.

Sure, but as you say, I don't think it will be anyone most people care too much about. With the possible exception of some cult favourite like Fuego who they might sign out of spite.

I honestly don’t think WWE wants anyone from AEW. They’d never see the value in most of those guys. It’s not like signing massively talented people and ruining them is a new thing for WWE they did that with pretty much every ECW star, even those that got over were missing the magic of their ECW characters looking back most of us were kids or teens so we didn’t know how good someone like RVD or Tajiri really was.

It seems their focus right now is still just the brand over individuality and they’re going to push brand loyal types.

WWE may not know what to do with them but they definitely see the value AEW sees in them. Starks, Hobbs, and Eddie Kingston all got calls after their appearances on AEW, and it's hard to imagine Kingston getting as popular over there. The Good Brothers got a very generous contact because WWE knew the bucks wanted them for AEW.
But for the moment they value keeping their own expenses down over locking up talent who could draw money for other companies.

He should have gone the full Bruiser Brody and sat cross legged in the middle of the ring, or marched around it a few times before heading back to back

Oh, yeah, I know that much, I just didn’t think Cody-nepotism points were necessarily worth that much given whats made it to TV.

Graduating from the Factory got her foot in the door, but she very luckily has a gimmick that's a perfect fit for the Varsity Blonds, who are already over. Putting her with them was BPJ's idea, it was successful on Dark, so now she gets matches on Dynamite.

I'm not sure two 15 minute YouTube videos a week is enough to support a thread. People tend to spoiler tag things in the like, half hour after the video drops anyway.

Some of the Dark matches have been announced:
Foxx Vinyer v. Brian Cage
Robyn Renegade v. Penelope Ford
Papadon & Sean Maluta v. Evil Uno & Stu Greyson
Jah-C v. Matt Hardy
Derek Pisaturo & Roman Rozell v. The Acclaimed
RSP v. Dante Martin
Cezar Bononi & JD Drake v. Billy & Colton Gun

Either Derek or Roman have a really cool hat.

e: Breaking news: Harlow O'Hara v. Diamanté. I guess her "maybe next time" tweet was about her getting to do something in her home-town of Miami rather than her not getting booked for the future.

I honestly think it's incredibly cool that AEW gives photoshoots for every extra that has a match - I wonder if they let the wrestlers keep the files for 8x10s

I think they have the rights to use them for publicity - I believe I've seen shots used on both Dark and Mission Pro shows.

Big Swole also tweeted about "closing out JAX" so I guess that answers where it's been filmed.

Do they do these for unsigned people?

Remember when they did this for Solow and they identified him as a Dark wrestler.

It's fairly reminiscent of the infamous Doomsday Cage Match from WCW where it was a three-tiered cage on top of a ring. The match where it was Hogan and Savage versus the entire Four Horsemen and the Dungeon of Doom combined and I think the rules were that the babyfaces start on top of the cage and have to fight their way down to the ring and then escape out the bottom??? Except instead they just climbed out of structure immediately and spent most of the match brawling in the aisle while the commentary was going "How the hell do you even win this match?"

Tony Kahn absolutely has asked himself "how do I do that but make it good?"

Before the match can start Sting will have to chase Malakai out of the coffin w/ a broom.

Last night's Dark had a segment where Angelico was dismissing Wheeler and Jack Evans was constantly talking him up. He's one of those hottest free agents in indie wrestling.
