I do like its a different take on the "evil boss". They cant outright stack all the odds on their favor but they can still have "pull" and of course the slimy boss attitude is legit great.They are less the evil GM trope and more that one manager you absolute hate in your job It's rooted in something a lot more 'realistic' in that sense, in a very good way. Few people ahve a boss who will tank their entire company solely to f*** with you. But a boss who will be a dick to everyone around them, pump up their own successes as what matters and talk about doing self-serving shit 'for' the company? That's something it's a lot easier to connect to. Showing up late to work and chiding other people for when they arrived. Laying down punishments for unprovoked and unnecessary shit. It's real. It's dickish. But it's also utterly subvertable as a heel character, rathe than being an indomitable, overpowered mess that will run on too long and be too invincible.

Between the Bloodline and the Jacksons, I love how there's two different legally distinct takes on the Succession theme in wrestling lol.

I love how on Collision they had Eddie and Copeland both show disgust at what they did. Makes it feel all the more heinous and also less like it’s happening in a vacuum (which tends to happen a lot in pro wrestling angles)

Reports are coming in that Morale on FAN is at its highest EVER after the triumphant return of Matthew & Nicholas Jackson. All FAN members are said to be in awe and excited for the future of FAN.
No fines or suspensions have been handed out and One FAN member said that Nicolas and Matthew have been so inspirational its almost like they are running the board itself.
Sales of White suits have skyrocketed by 700% and all FAN members now sport a handlebar moustache in tribute to Matthew & Nicholas.

I don't want to fantasy book this too much because I have no clue where he ends up. But can you imagine the singles wrestler the Bucks bringing in on their side being Okada? Omg yes. Okada is better as a heel and loves the Bucks. Love this. I kinda don't want him with the Bucks... ...unless he gets a new obnoxious theme done by Papa Buck.

I don't think I've ever seen Okada work heel besides trolling NOAH. I think it'd be an interesting way to make him feel fresh while still presenting him as a big deal.

I generally don't find the Bucks to be very interesting, but I'm quite enjoying this heel turn. The bloody beatdown at the end of last week's Dynamite was a great wrestling visual.

NICHOLAS and MATTHEW Jackson have gone beyond Caddyshack and are now stereotypical villainous guys from a Tim & Eric sketch
Just replace Doug Loussenhop's unsettling, nightmarish editing with brutal in-ring violence and voila

The soul patches are an awesome touch.
I get they wrestling in Darbys blood hut my biggest pet peeve in wrestling is guys working in street clothes. Like its a sport, don't wear a suit. But I get they selling the beatdown. I hope they wrestle at Revolution is some badass wrestling gear
