Of all the possible gimmicks that could happen in wrestling, Im surprised nobody came up with a Scientology gimmick.
Until now.
Geniuses!

Before you know it, we are not able to discuss the Dark Order here due to the board rules.

I didn't know how I was going to feel about adding the angle of a shadow self-improvement twist to a spooky pervert cult, but holy shit does it work, especially in this day and culture. I dunno if they shot the everyday footage or if it's stock footage, but finding some of the creepiest smiling people to be in them really adds to the unease that you get from their video packages. *chef fingers* Apparently Sick Nick Mondo directed the Jurassic Planet video, so I wouldn't be surprised if he had a hand in this as well.

so do we think that the dark order will actually get anybody to join them or will they keep getting rejected and beat down each week?

Would love to see kenny go full crazy and join after losing to Pac for the second time next week. Let's take this full comic book/anime/video game style. You have people kind of subtly joining Dark Order under the radar, with the commentators looking at the Creepers and maybe just asking "is it me, or are there more of those guys than last time?" Maybe you have Peter Avalon join given his losing streak and exhaustion with the Librarian gimmick. Granted, I like imagining him joining because the masks are cursed or something, ala the helmets that just repeat the Anti-Life Equation over and over again, but perhaps that's a bit much. Still, it'd be one of those things where Dark Order mostly seems to be bringing in goons and lower card henchmen, but all along, without people higher on the card noticing, someone like Kenny is their prime target number one. Then you get that dramatic anime reveal where there's a fight going on between the Order and maybe some of the Elite, only for Kenny to enter and basically reveal a big 'ol Majin Vegeta "M" on his forehead, or whatever equivalent you want to use. Hell, go back to the Smash Bros. calling the Creepers their Heartless and let Kenny wear a long leather coat and call himself Oaxmeg or something. Somehow it all ends with a cataclysmic JRPG battle set in a dimension trapped between time and space, where Kenny has to fight off the control they have over him; you guessed it, the final battle will take place in the parking lot of a TGIFridays. Oh man I want basically all of this. Or make it like Marvel's Secret Invasion, more and more Creepers showing up, then suddenly in a big clusterf*** match or something where Dark Order seem outnumbered, you get the ECW Invasion moment where they turn and beat the hell out of probably Cody. Dark Order as some weird Illuminati-Scientology-Gimps is somehow amazing, I never knew Uno was so good on the mic he's come on so much since I last saw him in, ohhh, 2008? Honestly this feels like a gimmick that could become HUGE in 6-12 months.

AEW is leaning on the versatility brought by trios and factions - they're seemingly setting up Proud 'n' Powerful vs. SCU through an SCU/Jericho mini-feud, and were able to smoothly rebook the tag tournament around injuries by drawing on trio partners. When all of your tag teams have at least one additional partner, your number of possible matches increases by a lot. The Bucks (who seem safe to be credited with tag team booking) clearly understand how to play with that effectively.

When Luchasaurus is healthy I can see them vying for Stunt again. I like the possibility of them getting Logan Stunt to counter Marko as well

They are putting subliminal messages into Twitter video clips now.
I caught three: :06, 20 and :22.
So which one is in the Dark Order? The goth, the alien from Andromeda or Freddie?

I hope we get the Dark Order "taking over" Being The Elite at one point.

I love how this is done in a sort of self-help video style, really gives off a unsettling vibe, more-so than there already was, with the Dark Order and the cheery music really works in how it shouldn't work. I also find it interesting how it targets the lonely and the people without a purpose in life, just like how a lot of real world cults prey on the unsure. Also, how much do you want to bet that the guy in this video is one of the people under the masks as Uno's goons?

It's got to be Kris; she'd be great in the Dark Order; she's an alien and thus the one who'll feel like she doesn't belong, but the Dark Order will show her that humanity isn't all bad.

What's this about Kris being an alien? That's her gimmick. She is announced as hailing from the Andromeda Galaxy and recently escaped from Area 51, and has various weird mannerisms that she hasn't been doing on TV so far. She also has telekinesis depending on the promotion.

Now I wanna see a slow burn/long angle where the Dark Order very gradually becomes a huge threat to the main event scene. They slowly grow in power while groups like the Elite and Inner Circle fight each other. A promo by Uno could even work into that.
Uno:" while all of you fought amongst each other for petty reasons, we in the Dark Order looked out for one another. Took care of each other."
