I most enjoyed the belt when it was constantly being sought by indie darlings. JD Drake still qualifies (I think this will be his first match on Dynamite). And I've got really high hopes for the match. I really like Drake, and I don't think I've seen a bad match from Allen.

Take the fanboy out of me. This was Darby’s best yet and this Road To is excellent. Wow

i like how Darby is kinda doing the Cody thing from a way less self serving angle (which is fine that Cody does cause his character is a bit of an arrogant douche)

I think since they see him as potentially a big future star, someone has been working hard with him on promos. I was also surprised at the promo he gave (which I think was only out there from fan recordings) after the match with Silver where John got hurt where he was like "I think you dislocated your shoulder halfway through the match, but goddamn did you give it your all." It seems like they are trying to help adjust him from "dark, brooding emo kid" to something slightly more expressive and heroic without changing too much of his total vibe.

Very impressed by JD Drake's promo there. He's got a great "working man" thing going on.

I just love that this dude challenging for the TNT title wednesday has an earnest tweet from last week that got like 10 reactions calling out the rando maintenance guy at his local bowling alley for loving something up on league night. Every sport needs a guy that makes fat slobs like me think "Huh. well gently caress, maybe I could do that?"

I’ve watched the Darby v Drake promos now three times.

So much passion. So much fire. It just flows out without feeling forced. I felt both men were as authentic as it gets here. gently caress, I could dissect this piece by piece and it would amuse me just analyzing each sentence.

Felt SO good.

It's the Road To thing. The first half is the two promos, then there's a Bucks/Kenny/Callis recap thing that you can skip if you've already been following that story.

(edit) didn't see that you already edited it in

I only knew him as the guy the internet was mystified didn’t get picked up to be stored in the Performance Center with everyone else from Evolve until he showed up on Dark last month to trade chops with Eddie Kingston.

I am very happy to see Darby doing so well. It was clear AEW had big plans for him out the gate and he's lived up to that every time. He's going to be world champion some day.
