Contract Negotiation of the Year: Super Sasadango Machine had to weigh in below 110kg to get to chose the rules of his Extreme Title challenge, but weighed in at 119. But luckily, when he signed his contract, he wrote in at the same time they would be weighing his action figure instead, and it was over 108kg below the weight limit! - DDT Nevermind 12/29

Nth, especially as his powerpoint featured a PDSA cycle.

Could have planted some intrigue with how Cole used Strong to get at Jericho, or brought up how Kyle O'Reilly is a distant memory now that Cole can't use him anymore.

Kyle is out injured. It would be profoundly weird to bring him up unless he was about to return.

Nth, very much appreciate Lexi's "I have been taken hostage please save me" energy in these segments

It's also the correct choice from Billie to be "hahaha what the gently caress?" and for Athena to have no idea how to cope with someone she doesn't really intimidate.

Not to be flippant but it sounds a bit like you're criticising what they're doing because it doesn't fit with what you imagine the story might be.

You're right that what they've done so far doesn't fit with a story of Cole masterminding the whole thing but that means that's not the story they're telling, not that they're bad at telling stories.

I'm not putting any stake into what I thought they might be doing. It's more that if there's literally nothing more to it, then it's just a series of wacky sketches, and now they're wearing thin because they have to pad it out.

I think they're going somewhere with it, I just don't think it's the place you think they're going.

To me it feels like they're going to expand the theme of Cole being torn between his emotionally manipulative friend and his new best friend, that he increasingly lets MJF down, and then this builds to a head with Cole being forced by circumstance to choose. Roddy vs MJF with Cole as special guest referee would be a fun direction to take it, and would still allow you the options of:

  • Cole is brainwashed enough by Roddy to betray MJF (not in a "it was me all the time" sense but in a "he was right about you" sense)
  • MJF is sick enough of Cole that he beats him up, ending their friendship and turning heel
  • Brochachos stick together but then the Kingdom and Roddy attack them

Any of these would fit with what they've built so far.
