Suddenly craving a giant donut. I actually kinda like Scorpio, at least wrestling-wise, as I'm not sure he's really found himself on the mic yet. Wouldn't have been my first choice to win the match, but I don't hate it. It’s one of those things. He’s been stop and started so many times. It’s either push him and let’s see what he do in a bigger role or give the guy a QT Marshall role and slowly phase him out. At least Darby vs Sky will be good, but I feel he needs to lose here and then go full heel like he seems to be planning.

I'm glad it's at least going to be a fresh match-up, but I am also a little concerned it might mean the Team Taz/Darby feud isn't over yet. Taz has been pretty open on commentary for some time that he'd like Scorpio as one of his wrestlers. Now, I don't think he will join Team Taz, but I also think that'd be an unwelcome storyline development.

I feel like Scorpio is super respected by the other wrestlers backstage so he's always gonna get featured prominently, unfortunately most fans seem him as the wrestling equivalent of room temperature tap water, the man could put a glass eye to sleep.

Now Scorpio just needs to clear Labyrinth Zone to get his title shot
Spoiler alert
He doesn't.

It's been two years and I'm still waiting for any reason to care the slightest bit about Scorpio.

Yeah, he's someone who is very respected and played a part in a lot of the guys' careers, so people see him in the most favorable light, but he peaked early. Outside of the match with Jericho or the tournament match with the shoe flying off, not much of it has really clicked. Like, for all of the complaints he also gets of this, I can probably think of more Shawn Spears stuff that worked. Both are people probably best played off of bigger personalities, so that's part of why their own feud was pretty meh. It was like taking bread and putting more bread between the two slices.

This is one of those times pandemic booking becomes apparent. With a touring show, there's no way they could put Scropio Sky as an acceptable winner

With a touring show, there's no way they could put Scropio Sky as an acceptable winner It was hard to justify it even with a partial crowd, they had no pop for his entrance. He did win them over a bit more as the match went on, he's a good worker, but unless they have big plans for Archer and Penta, and they just want someone to be a fall guy for Darby? Then woof.

If they want to push him they really need to get Kevin Condron in to manage him again. He's just not going to hack it as a solo act if this is what he can do.

Signing Condron to manage Scorpio Sky when Condron has his own star-worthy alter ego that could legitimately become a sensation in his own right would be madness.

Oh yeah I'm not saying it's the most worthwhile use of the guy, but if they really want to push Scorpio then they need to cover for him instead of letting him die on the vine.

Jon Cruz jobs on Dark while also teaming with Luther as Serpentico, no reason Condron couldn't manage Scorpio while also wrestling as Jervis.

Like I mentioned in the other thread they should bring Alex Gracia as his manager, her as his mouthpiece could help him with his character reboot.

I would have actually preferred Cody winning over Scorpio. But hopefully the match is good at least

It's too soon to judge Scorpio a week into a character change. He sucked Wednesday but then performed well to the point where he won the crowd over. Now he'll be facing a super over face and Sky is a really good worker. He's being put into position to succeed. It's up to him if he does. But he can continue to work his heel turn win or lose at least.

He's not Sonic, he's barely Bubsy The Bobcat. Will you stop?! He's at least Sparkster level.

It's been two years and I'm still waiting for any reason to care the slightest bit about Scorpio. I mean, when he showed up on commentary last week I legit think it was his first appearance on Dynamite in about a month and a half. For a company as good at using all its talent as AEW is, Sky is barely seen.
