Eoae Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 So apparently the most heelish thing Jericho could do in AEW was wrestle the opening match of the show shirtless and been seen by NBA fans who hadn't changed the channel yet. #heatmagnet 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Man, I hate that for Trent. For my money, Best Friends were stealth MVPs of the pandemic era, especially the no-crowd period and those bleak Nightmare Factory tapings. They showed up and did strong work and turned themselves from mainly Dark guys to Dynamite mainstays. Hopefully things will be set up for them to get a tag title run when Trent gets back. In the meantime, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Shawn Dean get a call-up to tag with Chuck, as that crew seems pretty fond of The Captain on BTE.

Death From Above Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 For real, Best Friends tore shit up on TV a lot for a team I started with absolutely no interest in. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Hell yeah to low key Best Friends greatness. From weekly solid matches to that parking lot brawl masterpiece, they were so consistent. Like the tag version of Hangman. Also, Merry Christmas, humans. Boom boom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Evans Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 So is this Shawn Spears leaving AEW worked shoot angle going to lead him to going to IMPACT? That's the gist that I get from it. Spears vs Callahan sounds like absolute hell. Send Marko there too while you are at it Kenny. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alstein Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Didn't Trent miss several months with a torn pec a few years ago when he was with NJPW? Trent vs Juice for the US belt is an underrated great NJPW match as well. Trent is the workhorse of that team and might be one of the top 5 guys AEW has overall. A big loss. Guess we get to see how Orange+Chuck do as a team. Edited December 25, 2020 by alstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfrey Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Best Friends and Proud and Powerful had one of the best TV matches this year and have been generally killing it every time they go out to the ring, it’s a bummer the team has to take a break but the Bucks are probably going to hold the belts for a while so BF can come back even stronger in 2021 to make another run at the titles and maybe it’ll be their time then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Best Friends have been awesome for a long fucking time. Trent definitely missed a chunk of time a few years ago, around the "Trent is a heavyweight" time period, but I don't recall what the specific injury was. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I was always blah on Trent but the Nightmare Factory shows really turned me around on him. For some reason I've always dug Chuck. I can take or leave Orange Cassidy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Who was the kid under the Dark Order mask on Dark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKothoga Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 AEW filmed a dark segment after the show with the Elite and Dark Order where Brodie Jr. defeated Kenny Omega to win the championship. So it was probably the son of Brodie under that mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Now with the recent death, I had put two, and two together with the child on Dark. Also some other things that happened in his last match made me think they were setting stuff up just in case he recovered. I’m thinking the spot were he helps get a bleeding Jon Silver to safety was a hint at a face turn.

christopher.annino Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 There's so much to look at in hindsight now and it really fucks with me... Like Cody coming back in less than a month and just reclaiming the title felt so ridiculous at the time, but now? Fucking hell, man 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I was okay with laughing seeing the clips. I sense that the opening of Raw and Dynamite will bring plenty of tears so it was nice to see again Brodie diving into this weird but fun gimmick on BTE. And as much as I love Dark Order's stuff now I think there was something I liked more when they were fearing for their safety with Brodie around. They were almost like lovable underlings that try as they might had various levels of failure when the boss was around. Which kind of leads to what's next for Dark Order. Disbanding might not be the best option but it's hard to see what direction they go down now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
