Also while I 100% agree with sticklefilter I'm just gonna say Bray is ten thousand times a better fit for the Spooky poo poo gimmick than Malakai, if AEW is gonna get both, but what's done is done.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Malakai isnt spooky poo poo, hes a Dutch satanist who clearly loves doom metal and paganism, probably listens to YOB in the morning. Like nothing about hik is Supernatural its all throwbacks to wood and creature worship from the old old days.

I think he'd have to find a niche that's entirely different. Malakai Black is doing the spooky demon thing but better, and Dark Order already did the expanding cult thing that the Wyatt Family always should've been.

If he's going to try to be anything drawing from the past, he should present himself as Brodie's best friend who just wants Brodie's crew to mend fences and come back together, but take it a little more seriously. He doesn't have to corrupt them or have THE LORE, just be a leader who misses his brother.

This is what I've wanted since they fired him. I want him to lead the Dark Order in the way that he did when the Wyatt Family actually ruled, and nobody tell me "they don't need it" or "it'd be shoehorned" because it's literally the most perfect story imaginable.

Well this is another hot take but the Dark Order is a big fat "there" for me right now. Like, they're not BAD, don't get it twisted, but they don't interest me whatsoever in a vacuum. They're entirely dependent on what they're working with. They're like plain white rice. See also: Miro.

The Dark Order seem to have something going on in the background, but whatever that is has been kind of backburnered for a bit. It's been simmering on Twitter but I hope we see the denouement, especially with Silver and 10 shacking up with The Alliance to Destroy Matt Hardy.

i can understand not liking bray particularly with how much wwe undercut him for someone who was just constantly over, but he really was incredibly, constantly over. even the fiend was super over. you don't at least try to get him, especially if you're a promotion that knows how to play to someone's strengths and not their weaknesses instead of the opposite

his noncompete also ends right before halloween, which just serves him up on a platter for a special themed ep

time is weird but i think the dark order stuff was just waiting for all out to be over to progress -- it hasn't been that long since hangman's loss and the rift forming between 'we need to help our friend' and 'we need to respect his want to try to fight this fight without us' + you'll want that story to come to a head around hangman's eventual return. my money's on the trios belts finally happening (or a trios tourney, at least) + the dark order trios being on opposite sides

Normally I'd expect that, but considering Bryan Danielson just got thrown into the mix, I don't know if the Hangman stuff will even be set up by then. That said, I do love the idea of the two halves of the Dark Order slugging it out, then hugging it out, in a high-stakes match.

Where would you put each member of the Dark Order in this schism, if you had the book?

Also people are delusional if they refuse to acknowledge that he's not insanely good at what he does. He might not be everyone's cup of tea, but with regards to what he does well, nobody else even touches him right now. It's kinda like the Broken Matt Hardy stuff in that some people loving HATE it, but you can't deny its effectiveness and creativity with people who enjoyed it, of which there were/are many.

I don't deny Bray is a charismatic guy and got over, but I never liked his promos and he never brought it home in the ring. He was always ok at best except once when Bryan dragged more out of him. Not saying he's incompetent or I want him out of wrestling. He can go to Impact and if he's not awful, he can graduate to AEW through the forbidden door.
