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

It's gonna own if Brodie wins the belt and it just motivates the rest of Dark Order even more, since they're so proud of him and want him to feel that same joy.

It would also be great if he kept the open challenge concept (at least for a while) as it would be a great way to have somebody from the Dark Order almost beat him. I'd be curious to see if he'd be pissed off or happy about that. Probably happy they took the initiative and managed to improve so much, right?

the TNT belt needs to be won and lost on television and it's absurd to wait for a PPV to do it. why the hell have a TV specific title and name it as such if not?

Brodie Lee has been cool as hell ever since I saw him at a Chikara show like 13 years ago. He always performed above the level of the material he was given in the WWE and it's awesome to see him portrayed as a super-intelligent beast instead of a swamp idiot like he got pigeonholed as for some reason.

Vince didn't let Brodie talk because he doesn't have a southern accent.

Brodie really wasn't helped by being awkwardly jammed into a rushed feud with Mox but this Colt storyline has been great for both of them. I reckon Brodie loses this week and that Cody/Colt is the All Out match.

The Moxley feud had the best finish I've ever seen to a heavyweight championship match and Moxley screaming at Preston Vance "YOU'RE HIS SPECIAL BOY!", I will hear nothing against it.

I think you could also do something where Brodie lee will only give you a TNT shot if you beat some number of the Dark Order, maybe just V and Stu (and 10 if/when he's recovered).


Also there should be a Hangman vs. Brodie ironman match. Not related to this, but I really want to see that.

I'm not sure if that's funnier with them holding the tag team belts, or without.

Tagteam champs fighting over the midcard belt and champ belt, while everyone else gets increasingly annoyed at them sounds like a weird/funny angle, though.

Jul 4, 2018

I think the Brodie/Cody outcome is the least predictable of all the Cody matches - Dark Order has been winning and gaining a lot of clout in AEW and for Brodie to lose here would quash their momentum and would make for the second title match Brodie can't finish on, which would undermine him as the exalted leader. I'd guess something will happen where it's contested and they rematch at All Out, because Brodie losing clean to Cody would seriously hurt the effectiveness of his character.

Brodie should win and honestly that’s because to me, Cody doesn’t feel on the same power level as Brodie. I can easily suspend my disbelief with Brodie in that he’s a super strong and tough cult leader but Cody is just Cody to me and my mind can’t shake the reality of that he has the belt because he says he has the belt. Sorry

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



I think Brodie needs to win to maintain the Dark Order momentum unless they want to do a power struggle for leadership story within DO, which it seems way too early for

Brodie carrying both real and temp belts around as if he’s a double champ would be really a really cool heel move imo

ICR
Dec 31, 2008

I don’t think Cody needs anymore wins with the belt. Now is the perfect time to drop it to Brodie and where somebody else can chase it down from a heel.

Hell, even just continuing an open challenge within the AEW roster for this would be fun with Brodie as champion.

Long story short, Cody seems really elevated to me. He’s the face of this company (the amount of families and kids who love Cody, the amount of loving Nightmare Family tattoos, the insane amount of dads and moms who post on Cody’s twitter about how beloved he is by their kids, etc.) and he’s had a nice reign with this belt to make it already feel like it’s inline with the Intercontinental.

He’s done his part and in a stagnant climate that is THE COVIDS, gotta keep it fresh and trying some new things here and there.

Editors Note from me, ICKER: If he beats Brodie, which the internet will then deem a burial, Lance Archer needs to come out and tell him to prove that last win wasn’t a fluke, and then beat Cody for it.

It’s time baby!

well aware, but that motherfucker can be jammed right back in the barn. introducing a new title at a PPV makes it feel like kind of a big deal, but making it a TV-only thing makes it a regular draw rather than Big Plat being what feels like a "ehhhh gotta wait for a PPV for this one"
