I don't know why but I'm actually looking forward to Chaos Project matches and when Luther just starts screaming and screeching like a weirdo. He's genuinely kinda funny and him using Serpentico as a weapon is great fun.

Ryzin's another one, and should probably interact with Luther at some point.

I have turned around on him too. On BTE when John Silver thought he was Sting, I laughed. I mean, he's got a thing and it kind of works.

There's always a place for laughably incompetent comedy villains in wrestling. Very much so. We already have too many big bads, the business would benefit from some more Dick Dastardlys and Hooded Claws.

Yeah, he's a guy who is benefiting big time by not being booked above his ceiling. He's a very smart, experienced wrestler on the decline who fills out the undercard and mostly loses. He'd be hard to take seriously if he were pushed, but he's great right where he is.

He recovered from an awful debut angle, he's gotten into better shape and has found his niche as part of a credible lower tier heel team.
I am so glad they stopped attempting to use his deathmatch background as a thing, that angle with Jimmy Havoc was awful.

AEW has a knack for taking guys who have never teamed before, smashing them together, and making someting that works
Chaos Project is a great example of that. Luther's "Use Serpentico as a weapon" offense is some of my favorite stuff in wrestling right now. It's just hilarious.
Luther himself is just a freakin weirdo in the best way, and I think his overall workrate has gotten better since he especially changed his gear. I think he was literally wrestling in cneakers before, the boots have made his overall footwork and balance better

Chaos Project vs. a team like Top Flight would be a really fun match if they had a house show loop. The Serpentico weapon spot would get over a ton.

I'm on the Chaos Project fan wagon too.
The Luther abusing Serpentico spots are great fun. Especially when Serpentico flat out refuses and Luther either browbeats him into doing it, or just does it anyway.

I like him and Serpentico a lot. They're definitely taking two veterans and doing something really entertaining with them without it being at the expense of the up and comers.
I think it's nice that they're a good mid level team. They are I think a bit under 50/50 on wins and losses, and seem to be the kind of people a face team can beat to get a good win without it having to be on TH2 or Acclaimed, who they are still kind of protecting right now.

Luther is very much a niche character and where he is right now fits nicely into it.

Chaos Project are so much fun, with the weaponization of Serpentico and Luther's hilarious shrieking (the high point being telling Top Flight that their mom was going to replace their picture on the fridge with his). Luther's also low-key been more than solid in the ring - remember, this is a 50+ year old deathmatch veteran.
I'm glad to see them getting time on Dynamite and BTE - they're perfect for the latter.
I think at some point soon they should become oddball babyfaces. I can see them thriving even more in that role.

I love his and Serpentico’s Bros attacks. They’ve become one of my favorite acts in all of wrestling. I bought a Chaos Project T-shirt.

As far as mid-level teams go, they have a fun style niche to play around with that gives them identity and some exciting spots to hit even if they won't win. It's a really great space for them to have settled into, and I'm glad they have the steady work from it.

Maybe it was the fact that I was running on minimal sleep, but I laughed like a lunatic when Luther on BTE confused Sting with Police Sting, confused the Police with U2, then screamed mangled lyrics to Roxanne at the top of his lungs.
Chaos Project should have the Acclaimed gimmick, just let Luther freestyle all of their entrances.

Chaos project is one of my favorite tags right now for all the reasons listed. The two of them have such great character chemistry. Just wonderful buffoonish villains that can take an L and be unharmed by it. And I second the oddball face run. The use your reluctant partner as a weapon gimmick is too good.

He throws a mean pumpkick.
