I'm a big fan, but wish Tony would tell him to scale it back on the vague edgelord promos. I just want silent Black that kicks off heads.
This is why I'm glad they didn't sign Bray Wyatt.

I want him to keep talking. I actually would like to hear him talk for 30 minutes.

How hard is it to say, "I worship Satan." and then get heat?

Silent face Ass kicker Black > This deep "talking in riddles" heel Black.
He's one of the few that are better as faces.

Black's just a really f***ing boring heel. Needs to stick to what he's good at, keeping his mouth shut and kicking people really hard.

I miss when he was making people pay the bootyman's toll.

I love Black but do wish he was more his NXT silent badass face persona versus what he’s doing right now. I think the former can be world champion.

Yeah, I love Black. Probably my top five in the company. Love his mysterious gothic persona myself. Really want a trios title to see the House of Black as champs tbh.

I like the House of Black promos, it gives them all a chance to talk, it gives them all a chance to integrate themselves further
I've found his stuff captivating, I'm curious where it goes next, but I think they're in a bit of a filler feud until Rey Fenix is back

If I'm being honest I'm kind of past the point of even being willing to give the stable a chance? Be it in WWE or AEW I just plain don't like Black as a heel or his promos, Matthews has never really done anything for me, and the two of them just feel completely awkward paired together. Guess sucks for Brody King being dismissed out of hand due to the stuff surrounding him but my immediate impression of the guy is pretty much, "Generic big man with shitty tattoos," anyway.

Yeah, this gimmick is straight trash. It's the exact same shit WWE does, except he's not sitting in a room this time. Like I've said before, he's just AEW's Bray Wyatt at this point.

Honestly I really enjoy the promos, but then I enjoyed Brays too ha
It’s subjective though so I can understand why some don’t care for them

It’s hit or miss for me. Like, I think it was last weeks Rampage or Dynamite when it was just him…I f***ed with it. He was direct and sounded authentic.
But last nights, with his homeys, and just the talking in edgelord nothingness?..I could do without. As a whole, he hasn’t been the same to me since Cody won their angle. Black should have defiantly won that. There’s no hook (not the zoomer) to the stable. It’s not Edge’s bizarre purple grimace enthusiasts, but there’s nothing compelling about them, character and relationship wise.

That annoys me for a number of reasons, but most of all 1), you don't owe it to a story to be patient with it if you're not enjoying where it's going, 2, an eventual good payoff (which, based on a lot of AEW's other stories that have dragged on and on, I don't count on there being) doesn't justify the ride being ass, and 3), it's not longterm storytelling when you're just doing the same thing every week.

Codys ego pretty much damaged Malakais aura, in a way it reminded me when Cena beat Bray at Mania and he wasnt the same as well(took Bray reinvent himself...before creative let him down again and again).
Fenix getting injured also didnt help matters, HoB got some momentum at Revolution but since then for some reason they were booked to feud with Fuego until Fenix returns to resume the feud with the Death Triangle.
