At this point I just kinda feel bad for Evil Uno and Tiny Kratos. Right now The Dark Order is nothing more than the Vince Parody Hour. Uno should've just been the de factor leader. The biggest issue there is, Uno and Grayson are Canadian, and the borders are closed right now. So unless they start doing video calls with Brodie during the vignettes, there's really no practical way to involve the three of them right now.

Outside of the sneezing thing, people are trying way too hard to connect dots that aren't on the same piece of paper. "Dress for success" is like Corporate Employment 101.

How is it that the Dark Order has fallen in stature and importance since the exalted one got revealed.

There's just been less vignettes 'cause they're introducing Lee's squashes. In couple weeks, there will probably be lots of other craziness with 'em after all the Hardy sagas are finished, etc.

Brodie biggest mistake was starting with the sneeze.Now people are gonna watch with the intent of connecting non existent dots that can apply for any big business or cult.

My only gripe is that I don’t think that he should be wrestling this much. He should just be watching various creepers lose in hilarious fashion before rising from his throne at the end of the aisle and murderizing the creeper and the guy that beat him. It essentially accomplishes the same thing as his squashes but could lead to some character extrapolation for Brodie as the exalted one, the creepers, and their opponents. I also want vignettes of him watching creepers have Mortal Kombat fights from his throne.
I do hope that we get more wacky creepers though, so far we got the two loser creepers(8&9), and Necktie Creeper, I want fedora creeper, cape creeper, sunglasses creeper, Doctor creeper, toupee creeper, 80s ring jacket creeper, etc.

How is it that the Dark Order has fallen in stature and importance since the exalted one got revealed. It's kinda hard to build the Dark Order up when half the roster isn't there, including SCU who they were clearly about to begin a big feud with. The only thing they can realistically do right now is build Brodie up slowly in both his matches and character. So... yeah, this isn't really Dark Order's fault or AEW's fault, they're doing the best they can until restrictions loosen. Which ain't gonna be till late May at the earliest when their tapings end.

I wish I could find this on YouTube, but anyone remember when Vince had a limo driver give him a piggyback ride to the arena?
Well, I specifically remember he chewed out the limo driver for not wearing a tie earlier in the show, which makes this a Vince-ism that's actually made it to TV.

Afterwards, it automatically led me to a Vince McMahon Ice Bucket Challenge. That was excellent too.

The eating before the others. Eating a steak. The line in his first promo. Mr. Brodie. The dress code/tie segment. The split-color suit, which Vince has pretty much exclusively worn in recent years. Not much of a stretch.

Holy shit eating a steak. Only Vince McMahon does that! And so many of those things are quirks of corporate executive types in general. The sneezing thing is the only thing I associated with just Vince McMahon.

Didnt know Spongebob ripped off Vince McMahon Like that is one of the biggest cliches ever,demanding to be called by mister or an important title.Including being called by your full name. "Whats My Name" scenes are classics.

The sneezing thing is the only thing I associated with just Vince McMahon. Does only one person have to do it for it to mean he’s doing it because of Vince? Even the AEW insider Meltzer said the sneezing and the eating before others were specifically about Vince. Haven’t seen what he said about the subsequent weeks.

I saw on Reddit Brodie used a line from the Scientology leader...the Dark Order as a whole being more Scientology-y makes sense, from their image to Brodie's leadership style.

Really glad to know you signposted that your takes are going to be bad with this bit. Yes, it's clear that the Exalted One character is taking a lot from Vince, but the character is also being presented in such a way where you don't have to know that to understand the text of the character.
