The exalted one is very similar to the higher power who was revealed as Vince too, I mean they teased Christopher Daniels as the exalted one ffs (folklore says he was considered to be the higher power - but if you’re on this board you probably already know that)
One thing of note is when Tony Khan was doing the media scrum at the last ppv he kept calling the dark order an “evil corporation” I thought at the time he meant cult but kept misspeaking.
Not only is Brodie Vince but I think the dark order will start to share some similarities with the WWE. .

Hahahaha, I had no idea about that. That’s hilarious, maybe they have been planning this with TDO for a while.

What with him being involved as a red herring in the Exhalted One storyline,I really want Brodie Lee to ask "Who the f*** hired Raven?!?" "Who the **** bought a seat for Raven?" Hahaha, I was well beat to it.

This weeks segment was a good step away from Vince and a good way to build Brodie as The Exalted One
Screaming at people that his name is "MR. F***ING BRODIE" and coming down on someone for yawning because "How can you be tired? NOTHING is OPEN" was just incredible and I love it.
Vince is a good thing to tap into sometimes because he has so many crazy things he's done in his life but tonight showed they don't have to, to make Brodie a fun character.

Hmm I took it as a continuation of the Vince stories. The tantrum/throwing of the glass, calling himself Mr. Brodie Lee (like Mr. McMahon) and I’m pretty sure there’s been similar stories regarding yawning in front of Vince.

Maybe there is because Vince is just that damn crazy, but they're far more obscure than the sneezing. At this point, I think we're at the point where it's really not "Vince", Brodie's made this extremely entertaining just doing his own thing and with his cadence.

I don't really see it as being a shot
Vince never was "famous" for throwing glasses ,breaking stuff or making others call him vince
The "Call Me Mister" trope is pretty common:

Yeah.
This is certainly. A gimmick.

Yeah. This is certainly. A gimmick. A megalomaniacal cult leader who demands perfection and results from the weak he preys on is a pretty good gimmick if you ask me. Plus Brodie looks amazing in a suit and people said that for YEARS and wanted it to happen.

So far, it feels like this huge build to the Exhaulted One was just a build to a bunch of digs at Vince and it makes me less excited/interested in Brodie Lee. I was never high on him in the first place, but I was at least interested in seeing him do something other than the hillbilly gimmick. But if all this is now is one big joke on Vince, I'm not all that into it.

Literally the only big thing that was a jab at Vince was the sneezing And if you didn't even know about Vince's sneezing thing who is going to know it was a jab at Vince and not just Brodie being crazy and controlling? I don't see what peoples issues are, he's literally doing what he shoud be doing, being a crazy cult leader who wants absolute power and control over the ones he controls. It's not wrestlings fault that Vince is a madman, but I really don't think it's fair to look at every mannerism Brodie has done to this point and be like "Ah yes I bet you Vince has done that" over one part of one segment. Brodie's been booked fantastic so far, even tonight where the underling took the pin and he powerbombed them for good measure, failure will not be tolerated. He's just an evil bastard, he's far from a "Vince dig" in my eyes.

I like that there's still the creepy element to it, like the static TV just left on in the background.

It's like when Mike Myers did a Lorne Michaels impression and created Dr. Evil. Or Mark Mckinney and his evil CEO character ... which is also Lorn Michaels >_>

I've never really heard of the things Brodie did this week as Vince-isms. If anything, isn't the "Mr. McMahon" thing more a quirk of Vince's on-screen character than his real-life self?

Plus, he's a cult leader who wears a suit and has meetings in board rooms. Nothing about the Dark Order screams that they are a group who has meetings in board rooms. The 2 gimmicks just don't fit together for me. They obviously do for you and that's fine. Even if I didn't see the Vince connection, I wouldn't be into it because the gimmicks feel too separate to me.

Everything since they started putting Scientology-like ads implies they would have those types of meetings.But I would enjoy more of the "nice" act of the Order being more present too.I think tha is Uno's role.

Even if I didn't see the Vince connection, I wouldn't be into it because the gimmicks feel too separate to me. From the very beginning The Dark Order has had a spokesperson with a suit and has held these sort of rallies, where Uno has been in a suit. There have been vignettes in board rooms with that said spokesperson and Uno with Exalted One. Uno has said in promos what makes Dark Order deadly is they can be anyone and everyone, teachers, the top 1 percent, your own friends and family. Dark Order has never been about a solitary evil cult gimmick, it's about being a conglomorate, and they have absolutely used these sort of refined tactics before while still having the dark underbelly.

It's literally all Vince. There was just a story about a month ago about a writer saying Vince would throw almonds at people who fell asleep on his private jet. And from Hogan's book:
"If you have to yawn, do it in the bathroom so no one sees you."

People who are in these kinds of positions have a lot of quirks that people can harvest for big ego characters. Hell, give it a few years, I bet there will be some villains based on Elon Musk or Bezos, if there aren't already.
