I feel like somebody has to break out from the Dark Order. They're too popular and too numerous to have all of them all occupy the same place in the card.

STUPID FANTASY BOOKING ALERT

Kenny tells Hangman that their tag team would have been nothing without him. Bucks try to twist the knife by letting him challenge for the tag titles at All Out with a partner of his choice. Hangman chooses Angels (who can play up the metanarrative of their first match) and they win. Of course this has its own bag of problems but if you want to legitimize any member of DO that's a way to do it. And maybe it'll teach Dark Order an important lesson about not bullying your friends. (It was fun at first but now that the narrative has become 'good friends vs bad friends' it feels like a plot hole).

The other way is to have 10 beat Miro buuuuuut the optics really arn't there.

I’ve seen positive early reviews but I watched the trailer and a woman does a shoot hurricanrana to a much larger guy outside a bar so take that with a grain of salt.

I still can't believe the WCW tried to make the rednecks the bad guys in that feud.

HMM I wonder who is going to be viewed as the bad guys in a traditionally southern promotion? The rednecks who sing about redneck pride and hating rap, or the rappers from up north who outnumber the rednecks two to one? Why is my promotion going under someone help.

I'm terrible about lawn maintenance, but there is a lovely lady in my neighborhood who's mother has dementia so she does lawns since she can't get out much, and she does an amazing job on my front lawn.

Then I had some lovely friends demand that they come over to do my backyard.

Growing up in New Orleans Master P and No Limit, along with Juvenile and Cash Money were huge. So Master P was always the face in my heart. Because rap is good.

Sure, that makes perfect sense. They just bungled the whole thing so completely it was like nobody at WCW no longer knew how heels and faces typically acted in feuds, or in wrestling.

Him promoting the show using boilerplate language seems to be a tell that he's doing something with them. If it was just there to support Wheeler Yuta I think the tweet wouldn't be using their corporate language structure that other performers use to advertise the show.

It would be pretty funny if he just cut and pasted someone else's boilerplate AEW tweet to screw with people

A crucial mistake. Vince always remembers to play into that.

Drexl rules. I once saw a guy pound a fistful of wooden skewers into his scalp, and some of them stuck in so he kept wrestling with them sticking out of his dreads while bleeding down his face. :unsmigghh:

He's got sort of a Rob Zombie style, he'd be a good guy to pair with Abadon.

he yeeted Steve West into a kiddie pool full of barbed wire that Steve could barely get out of so he’s good in my book.

unless it gets shut down due to plague, I’m gonna see him on a card that includes Luther and Daniel Makabe in October, which will own.

Yeah that played a big part, definitely. But even beyond that they kept doing weird as gently caress things like having the heels be outnumbered by the faces in confrontations and getting jumped by the faces.

Like... what are you even doing?

E: it is of course also possible that people in WCW were ALSO racist and despite theoretically having Master P and his guys be the faces, they booked them as heels.

Steve West is legit the sweetest wrestler I've ever met. I saw him at a bar after a show and said hi. He's actually kind of meek and really polite, and described himself as a pacifist, which is great because his character is such a colossal rear end in a top hat.

…have you not heard about how he was ousted from 3-2-1 Battle! for assault allegations last March and that’s pretty much why the promotion is dead?

it was definitely an eye-opener to hear about a lot of wrestlers during the speaking out movement. a few months before that I’d had a super chill evening after a show in Seattle grabbing beers with Jimmy Havoc and he asked me for advice on girl problems.

CM Punk probably isn’t going to AEW anymore after rumors got out. But I think Bray will debut in his spot, as a new character, who will be managed by a psychotic Tony Khan who will call out CM Punk for letting down his fans. Tony will command Bray to wreak havoc on the AEW locker room to demonstrate that you don’t cross the boss.
