TheDuke Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 I think a good angle might be if they kicked Brodie Lee out of the Dark Order and made one of their other members the new exalted one. Maybe have a feud between Brodie and somebody else over leadership of the Dark Order. And then the DO could start being winning a lot more.

Stiva Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 I dig the idea of Sliver being the one who breaks the Dark Order’s chains since he’s already getting over and he’s great fun in-ring. Rather him than bloody Colt Cabana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 So, on BTE this week, Evil Uno is playing a game of Uno while wearing a cool-ass Jushin Liger Motörhead-style T-shirt. What's not to love. Anna Jay trying her best not to laugh during the Dark Order bits is always adorable to witness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Hats 4.0 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Even after watching Kenny and Don's interview last night, I continue to be puzzled over how this is a screwjob. No problem with a belt collector angle, but if they aren't affiliated or aligning themselves with Impact (or anyone else), it feels like something is missing in the execution. I can't recall if Callis had been on any previous episode of Dynamite (I feel like he was once?), but I'm still scratching my head over the melodrama surrounding him tossing Omega a microphone and the two of them running out of the arena. I get, in kayfabe, that AEW wouldn't want them to appear on a competitor's show, but why spring out of the arena with the announcers screaming about how this is bullshit? It was no more bs than any other match with interference (crying over the gentleman's agreement, or whatever, that Omega and Moxley had is a bit much). And hasn't Omega been acknowledged on-air as an AEW executive? I'm blanking on how this is part of any master plan. I worry this reads like a teen on twitter/youtube/reddit complaining about kayfabe machinations, but I'm really just trying to get my arms around the story they're attempting to tell.

El-P Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Don has been Omega's friend for 27 years. Callis sneaked his way on AEW's announcer's desk once for Omega's big match at the PPV and everyone was all respectful and happy, so they invite him again to announce Omega's title shot. Omega told to Mox it was gonna be a clean match. In the end Omega lied and cheated with Callis' help. They fly away without celebrating with the rest of the Elite. They show up with the belt (ahhhh, the old WWF/WCW stuff) on Callis' promotion's TV show, so Omega winning the AEW title profits... to IMPACT. Like... What's not to understand ?

El-P Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 BTE Xmas episode was just glorious from the beginning to the end, from the Young Bucks popping for each of Kazarian's line on Dynamites to said Kaz meeting the ghosts of Xmas's past, present and future (of course) to the awesome Dark Order musical (funny as hell that Stu can't sing for shit and then Anna is even worse !). And really, when you think about what the Dark Order gimmick was last year and what it is today, it's amazing what they have done with it. It's literally the unit you'd want to be included in now. Anna Jay pretty much every week having to bite her lips at some point to not burst out laughing makes it even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 According to Slam Wrestling, Sammy Guevara nixed a storyline and appearance with Impact, putting the AEW-Impact relationship in jeopardy. Has anyone else reported this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoLogic Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford got written up in the New York Times wedding section. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/12/style/kayfabe-but-for-real.html They'd better issue a correction for calling Orange Cassidy a bad guy, though.

TheDuke Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 What religion is Kip and Penelope if James Mitchell is the official at their wedding? Maybe the REAL forbidden door that was opened was the marriage between Ford and Sabian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I don't see what's the issue with her. I really don't. She seems really charismatic. As a worker, this match was pretty good, nothing special but still much better than some girl on weekly US TV for sure. BTW, it was cool to see Aja kick someone in the gut again. She is kinda immobile, but she can still throw a mean kick and drop that elbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like AEW obviously likes her, but her stuff is going to work way better with a crowd and it's not like waiting six months to bring her over will kill her career.

El-P Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Can we please stop getting injuries, please ? Damn, that sucks so much. Hopefully she'll get tips from Britt Baker on how to get better while recovering from injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenese Sarwieh Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Conti/Rose was alright, some disjointed parts but alright nonetheless. Yuka/Emi was a banger, I see why Sakura gets the reputation as a trainer as she does and Sakazaki was great as usual. I love me some Aja Kong but it's time for her to hang 'em up, she can barely do anything. With the changes due to Anna Jay nothing was left in doubt about Britt winning but they a good job keeping the program with Thunder Rosa going.

PeteF3 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 AEW signs the fucking Big Show. Seriously? I'd have thought he was a WWE Lifer. I don't know what he adds besides finally paying off that Wight vs. Shaq match that's been teased for years, but maybe AEW figured that if they had the opportunity to steal a longtime WWE guy, to do it.
