I think Mox has been held back by Coronavirus. He's a guy that benefits from having a crowd.

He's been fine as champ. His promos have been good. His matches sans the clunker with Hager have been good. He's been presented as legit. And the Cage feud has been interesting thanks to Taz.

The problem has been that there's no ready made main event heels for him to feud with. A Pac feud would've been fun but the virus killed and chance at that.

That would be an excellent gimmick. Misunderstood gay stevedore who adores a man named Steve and becomes a wrestling champion to impress him since he's only impressed by manly feats of strength since he's such a big dock worker with a big dong.

There's a reason he got upstaged by AJ Styles.

It's a fair point, his frantic style goes better with a frenzied crowd, but that is only applicable to his matches. His character and promos though have been pretty lackluster for a while now. He is certainly nowhere near the level Jericho was as champ.

I wonder how many White Claws it takes for Tony Khan to get "white girl wasted"

Cody doing some Twitter posturing.

Hey mate you're not worth the energy or the free press.

Well actually...

One and a half

:lol::lol::lol: that's what I was thinking.

Probably drinks half of one before every song that's playing is "like totally his song."

I don't think anyone has a problem with Sonny Kiss getting a title shot because he's gay. I think people have a problem with Sonny getting a title shot because he sucks. And when I say sucks, I don't mean...

Other than the person who tweeted to Cody that Sonny was a low-class f****t.

Sonny Kiss should win the title by spitting a mouthful of cum into the champ's eyes.

The Cream Mist

If your cream is green, you’re in the green.

If your cream is red...consult a doctor.

Tony Khan turns heel with Kiss and reveals that the cum Sonny Kiss spat in Cody’s eyes came from PHARAOH who Tony wanked off at the local Cracker Barrel.

“That damn jezebel!” - JR

Tony changes his name to Tonny Wank to be Sonny Kiss’s manager.

I think we're best friends now

They should hire Impact era Orlando Jordan

This is great, put this on TV

That was fucking shit.

Progressive and inclusive stuff.

Lol, AEW getting into bed with Eric Bischoff. 2010 TNA says hi.

Jacksonville Dixie

Couldn’t even get CM Punk to take a vanity deal with them even though he’s got a grudge with WWE and they were running Chicago almost every month. Punk mocks them on Twitter and Tony “Pupper Shtupper” Khan’s retort is “Hey! Remember when you were relevant in 2006?” Meanwhile his biggest star is Chris Jericho, who was getting noticed on Nitro in 1998 and had his best year in 2008.

Hahaha that is kickass. I’m all for this.

Why the fuck isn't this on tv? Jesus that was great.

Future AEW champion: Hulk Hogan

Tony talks for 5 minutes straight at the start with Bischoff and Conrad forced to just listen lol.

I miss Conrad on AEW.

God Tony is so awk.

Okay new rule, Cody does all the boss interviews.

Will chime in and say that Dark Order clip was not great. Maybe could have been an "ok" comedy bit without the profanity. But aren't they supposed to be serious?

The closest they came to looking serious was when Brodie debuted on their first empty arena show after the pandemic.

But then most of the stable was lost to the pandemic. Uno and Grayson who had been the focal part of the stable until that point had to go back to Canada. Plus for that set of taping at QT Marshall's gym all of their New York based talent were unavailable, so they didn't even have Silver and Reynolds despite them being the patsies of the group.

It was just Brodie on his own, recruiting guys like Preston Vance and Allen Angels who were just there to help fill out Dark tapings. And that's when they started changing the direction of the group.

I think you could have Brodie/Uno/Grayson massacre the rest of the stable should they ever decide to turn it serious again but I really enjoy the idea of a cult managing to only recruit complete nincompoops.

Also can't really imagine somebody still finding profanity to be taboo or offputting in 2020 but hey, to each their own.

Not taboo or offputting "per se", just don't like it when profanity is used in a "hey look we're cool and funny, we swear" kinda way.....

I've especially always hated profanity in rassling specifically though..... like "I can't get over on my own charisma or words, but if I say some cusses people will lose their minds over it!"

Part of why I could never get into ECW.....
