The guy who cut that promo was kept silent for years because a deranged old man was annoyed he couldn't do a good southern accent. and even then the few times they did let him talk he knocked it out of the park in WWE. but Vince was still hung up on him not having a southern accent that he wasn't told to speak with... for some f***ing reason...

Dark Order's Motif is an eye
Uno has posted many tweets with the eye emoji
Lets all remember Luke Harpers titantron.
The main clue was actually the most subtle one.

I love Brodie, so I'm hoping this catapults him into a spot that he deserves.

I am going to say, it's a little bit weird for 40 year old Lee/Harper to refer to Daniels (who'll be 50 in less than a week) as "old man".
Not that 50 doesn't count for "old man", but 40 doesn't exactly count as young and fresh.

Honestly I found it underwhelming.
The promo itself was fantastic, but Brodie Lee with Jake the Snake is a match made in heaven as far as I'm concerned. It would've been a MUCH better fit.
His attire was also awful. the hoodie coat, was reminiscent of Matt Hardy in the vignette, but in the ring it looked bad. Then his actual gear...good god. Then just walking off like he didn't want to be there.
Maybe it would've felt better with a huge crowd reaction, but right now I'm not feeling it and I think they should've stayed with Evil Uno being full of shit and there being no exalted one until they found a better fit.
Hell Jake would've been a better choice for the role. I just don't buy Lee as a cult leader, the mastermind behind this all and the reason Uno and Grayson are followers.
Please Brodie, I'll wait and see what you bring, but change your gear tho.

So Bray Wyatt won the Universal title, Braun Strowman won the Intercontinental one, Brodie Lee started his own cult that's infiltrated all levels of society, and Erick Rowan got a spider that's dead now.
We know who the family disappointment is.

This is a red herring.
Ex Al, Ted One.
You ex out the Al part and you're left with Ted One. As in not Ted Jr.
Ted DiBiase is the real leader.

Please Brodie, I'll wait and see what you bring, but change your gear tho. Didn't mind the gear at all, the light robe kind of signifies that he's supposed to be a savior and then the contrasting dark underneath shows his true intentions and character Also he didn't walk off "Like he didn't want to be there", he did his job. He murdered Daniels, and he left, he had made his statement. I was also thinking he would work better with Jake, but after Archer's vignette tonight I like their fit more, and Brodie actually can cut a promo and come off like a leader here. That's all I care about.

To be fair, Dark Order/SSB has had the eye on their gear longer than they have been Dark Order, much less being in a faction with a mystery leader turning out to be Luke Harper. It is one of those coincidences that worked out quite nicely.

While I personally see Brodie as Sagat not M. Bison, it was a damn good debut and promo

Randy Orton is the biggest f***-up in wrestling history. Just in the span of the first half of 2017 he laid the groundwork for the rise of both the Fiend and the Dark Order and was directly responsible for WWE Champion Jinder Mahal.

Daniels has been wrestling since '93 or so, and even as early as the mid-2000s, Punk and Samoa Joe, in the infamous "Homicide's gotta pee" shoot, were calling him "Old Man Daniels". He's definitely a journeyman in the eyes of a lot of guys. Of the current guys who wrestle regularly, only Dustin, Jericho, and maybe Matt Hardy have been doing it longer, and the latter, it's kind of a toss up.

Given Harper was actually able to perform some of Bray's tricks in their feud WWE killed because fans were too interested in it and we needed AJ Styles vs Shane McMahon for some dumbass reason, I think it works that he'd be the cult leader here. Brodie has the background, and beyond that, given CHIKARA, he'd also be the one with the opportunity to plant a seed of corruption in the minds of the Super Smash Bros that'd gestate into the Dark Order.
That, and if you didn't have him with Dark Order, you'd probably have Lance and Brodie biting each other's style too much. They wrestle pretty differently, but it'd still be a couple of tall ass kicking brawlers who back it up with fancy moves and surprising agility.

On a recent free F4W show, Brian Alvarez interviewed DEFY's Cody Chhun, and he asked him "Who is a wrestler who you wrestled and felt like you learned like 10 years worth of knowledge in a singular match?", and his answer was Christopher Daniels.
