So is Cody gonna heel it up against Brodie Lee? The story feels a bit muddled here

Rarity posted:

Cody was never not a face

Cody was more of a heel than Scorpio Sky, but is going to be less of heel than Mr. Brodie Lee of #JoinDarkOrder. If Mr. Brodie does not win the belt after Cody spent weeks and weeks on TV getting put through the wringer, whoever challenges him after his match with Mr. Brodie Lee will be (maybe Colt Cabana if they want to keep the Cult Cabana moves relevant)

On the last Dark Tully was announced as "Four Horsemen Member", I like how much they are teasing FTR/Spears/???? horsemen.

Then they can swerve me and the horsemen will actually be Omega/Page/Bucks fighting Cody.

There are actually so many little stables and stories going on at the moment, it's good storytelling. I want to see more Team Taz and his Body Guys.

It does feel like they have too many people at the moment for just Dynamite, they've got 59 men alone on their roster (website). Some of their bigger talent is having matches on dark now, but it feels like you could run dark as a full show without the jobbers/tryouts and not be short.

Confused and lost makes sense though? Tully just went off on everyone in that segment unprovoked.

I'm way more forgiving of JR than most people here, but this is one thing he does that just gets on my last nerve. He's got a handful of "jokes" that, despite getting no reaction, he feels obligated to repeat EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. a wrestler is on screen. The Dick Grayson thing is one. Though I didn't hear it tonight, for the longest time, every time Orange Cassidy would show up, he'd say something about "I bet he has the bottoms cut out of his pockets"... Just over and over again.

I don't think they're jokes. I think they're pretty obviously mnemonic devices he uses to remember people's names because he's fuckin old, guys.

Jericho looked lethargic and slow last night. Almost as if his body was tired from something. Can't quite figure out what it could be though :thunk:

I think it was 90 something with nearly 100% humidity in Jacksonville. I think a lot of performances were hindered by it.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Shawn Spears is going to turn face when he assumes he's on the new Four Horsemen and Tully calls him a huge loser or whatever.

FTR looks like a solid pick, plus maybe a conflicted Adam Page? For the fourth guy I have no clue.

I also love that Dark Order has noticeably gotten more competitive since Brodie Lee showed up. And Evil Uno is looking downright svelte lately.

Judging my Sammy's vlogs there's a big indoor (I'm assuming air conditioned) football training field in the facility. I wonder if they might end up in there for hurricane season.

Maybe they should park Jericho in there for 15 minutes or so before he wrestles. It also seemed like his knees were bothering him, which they kinda worked around by having OC target them during the match.

yeah, the pieces are moving for sure

now it just comes down to who the actual 4th is

the way Tully went at Arn last night makes me think he's getting boxed out, unless they're just putting on a show to screw Cody, because AA was there for FTR's contract signing....

if MJF goes over Moxley in real "dirtiest player in the game" fashion and we get the big reveal at that point, that'd be a hell of a Thing

if it's Cody... whew.

Someone on Reddit found a clip of 2004 Raven doing sort of the same dragon screw bump, which I thought was interesting.

I kinda thought Spears was supposed to come out because he realized things were getting heated and knew Tully was going to get punched, but everyone looked kinda off in that show.

Man I wish Excalibur was back.

They boxed him out at the signing. Alcoholism has been used as something of a device within the story, and AA was like "no thanks" to a drink.

Of course performers drinking got him fired from WWE so there's kind of a novel little wrinkle there.

also having AA turn at that point is probably a bit too much wad blowing at one time, so it makes me think you can X Cody as the 4th horse man, which imo really only leaves MJF because there isn't anyone else in the company with the chops

The thing that confused about me about the dragon screws wasn't that he didn't know/was too tired to know how to take them, it's that it was plainly apparent after the first so they immediately did another one, and then they decided to do more after that.

Guys thats actually a Dragon Screw variant. Dean Malenko used to do it, as did Minoru Tanaka.Its even in a couple Fire Pro games. They probably agreed on it because of Jericho's general condition.

I had to look up a correctly executed mousetrap and then the finish of OC/Jericho again, and I think Jericho was just so tired he straight up fell in the wrong direction

OC deserves credit for still making it look like a plausible pin

I'm assuming this is another Beeboo Crawshanks situation where OC told him that the Mousetrap was a rollup but didn't specify that it was a front roll thing, so Jericho went backwards because that's how a rollup usually works and they had to manage.

I'd say bring in Pillman Jr. That way you have a tag, a big match guy, and a junior.

i always thought it would be FTR, Hangman, and Cody. Cody fits the egomanic Ric Flair role really well, nice subversion of his father too. Spears is definitely the chump that gets turned on by Tully and beaten up when they form
