If a certain John Hennigan is thinking about jumping ship to AEW he'd better be ready for a long talk with my lawyers. 3 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd gladly drive down to Tacoma or up to Everett (or maybe Kent if ShoWare's 6,500 capacity is good enough for the company) to see a show, especially a TV taping. Last I heard it's not likely until next year that they head to the west coast. But they said it's definitely happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Well, they have until October 23rd with TV and internet segments to win people over on The Dark Order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your untruthful and wrongheaded edit about the shitpit that is the whole East Coast aside, that's too bad. Though I will give love to Baltimore for having the best wrestling crowds in the country.

And to be fair while I'm blanking on wherever else at the moment I'm certain there's better crowds in the country than us.

Craig H Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I think all of them should be able to see that the Dark Order are the absolute worst acts on all of their shows and not remotely over. It would actually be concerning if they wound up winning the tag titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they might know but are waiting to see how people react to them in the tournament. It seems like a foregone conclusion but if they look great in defeat then they might come out of this okay.

odessasteps Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) I remember them having a fun match one year at KOT (2008) teaming with Generico vs the North Star Express and ...

AxB Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 With the other teams, you can easily get a handle on who they are and what they want, and why they are a team. Whereas the Dark Order, you've got the sinister bondage master black magic sadist guy, and his friend who is either a LARP enthusiast or is actually supposed to be a Warrior of the Ancient World. But, like, why are they friends? What do they talk about, when they aren't wrestling? And how is Stu Grayson supposed to be an intimidating name? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 3 hours ago, Smelly McUgly said: EDIT: They show Impact-in-60 on the Games channel in Canada right along with old Dragon's Den episodes and other such stuff. Could AEW be a good fit for that channel as well? Game TV is owned by Anthem, just like the Fight Network, AXS TV and Impact Wrestling. Unlikely it would end up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys have any recommendations? I'd seek out their ROH matches vs. the Young Bucks and vs. Steenerico. Their work in Toronto's Smash Wrestling is worth checking out. They had formed a faction with Joey Janela and Vanessa Kraven called Malice before Janela got injured, putting an end to the group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) I think what’s even more jarring about the Dark Order is that the only similar (goofy supernatural) characters at the moment in other feds are Bray Wyatt, Rosemary, Su Yung and occasionally Taker, Kane and Finn Balor. All of those guys and girls have a well established mythology built around them. I would not be against AEW getting someone like Ultramantis Black or James Mitchell to be their mouthpiece and to flesh out their back story Edited September 18, 2019 by Ultimo Necro 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 They aren't supernatural characters, and Evil Uno is a good enough talker all by himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Wasn't Billy Graham gone from wrestling about 5 years at that point just like CM Punk is now. Maybe Punk joins the Dark Order with a Fu-Manchu and rocking Martial Arts pants. Flairs Shadow what do you think? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
