Damian tossed AJ out of the ring, then sat on a chair and turned purple and got googly eyes, then it went to commercial. When it was back AJ was getting interviewed about the match ending like "I CAN STILL GO LET ME FIGHT" Thank you for explaining it I understand even less now Does it help if I add on that AJ Styles was like, bleeding from three different cuts on his face he somehow got in the match as he screamed in rage about the match ending via purple light? |

Also, man, that Bad Bunny tag match and rub he got from it might as well had been a million years ago. |

Yeah, we're getting closer to Morbius than the Lost Boys here. I'm hoping they can turn it around, though, because I like goofy supernatural stuff in wrestling sometimes. Just my own personal taste.

Like, my issue with it is that I want to see the segment where Edge gets the powers. He travels to the swamps of New Orleans to find a witchdoctor who can grant him the powers and it's all dumb and elaborate with a lot of SFX and flashing lights, just go out with it. Heck, for as bad as it was, who doesn't remember Hulk Hogan falling into a cave and saying "IT'S NOT HOT!" before being killed by The Giant? If you're just going to go "He can do this now, bleh!", it's wasted potential and of course the audience aren't going to latch onto it. Go big or go home. EDIT: It's why the Zombie stuff annoyed me. There was so much you could do with it but zombies only invaded for that one match and apparently were fine with just leaving after eating Miz? And Miz just came back the next day? Where's the mourning Maryse? Where's the lawsuit? Where's the second Batista cameo where he takes no responsibility for what happened? Just such a waste of time. |

Where's the mourning Maryse? Where's the lawsuit? Where's the second Batista cameo where he takes no responsibility for what happened? Just such a waste of time. Edge could literally just be given a passed torch by Gangrel, and it'd make all the sense in the world to do it, and it'd be continuity to his past, Edge's own spin on the Brood The issue is, they're not doing that, and now to try and get it over, you're having Priest knock a dude out of the ring, and the match end via "Spooky lights", and then just have AJ screaming about how bullshit it was... how does that get anything about it over? It just doesn't. Like an argument posed earlier in this thread even is they want to do this to "Find the next Undertaker type" like... imagine if to get Taker over when he first debuted, he threw someone out of the ring, the lights went out, and the match just... ended, and the opponent Taker threw out of the ring, was pissed off about it... like... yeah, exactly, lmfao. Priest just looks like a god damn bozo, and he's progressively looked more like a bozo ever since they tried the Good/Evil thing with him. |

Like, I've accepted WWE have done weird goofy stuff and I'm fine with it but a lot of stuff they do is just so half assed and rushed that it's hard to not see it that way. |

Of all the great ideas Vince shuts down on a weekly basis, he actually took a look at this on paper and said "Yeah, this sounds fantastic!"? What the f***. I need a compilation of the rejected ideas |

Is it just as simple as “Our old spooky guys are too old now, we need new spooky guys because WWE’s gotta always have a spooky guy”? Between the heavy purple and the sudden invoking of magic, it seems like they’re trying to foist Edge into being a new Undertaker. If they want more spooky dudes, then Omos is right there. That dude would benefit hugely from a zombie gimmick to cover his many, many shortcomings. 95% chance of an awkward to watch Giant Papa Shango |

I always thought there was a potential good (re: campy, cheesy, B-movie) story in Undertaker's powers being passed on. They did that for like a week with Bray Wyatt using Undertaker/Kane powers.
Give me some cinematic questing for the Undertaker's urn!

This is already sadly falling on its ass for a few reasons.
1....Priest as the sole new "member" was intriguiging untill last week and even worse lastnight , the theorized full faction we kicked up around here was alot better and would have already made this group an absoloute force outta the gate.
2. and I have harped on this THE LACK OF VINGETTES!!! you wanna do spoopy and supernatural'esc YOU NEED VINGETTES! because they both allow you to flesh out the entire act and can do cool visual things with them but without it then you just got vague spoopy shit that makes no sense.
Someone already mentioned it but it feels like Edge had some semblence of a really cool idea with him as an elder vampire'esc lord but then the brass came down and said NOPE and now we are left with this WTf***ery.

The NOISE is the best part. Why aren't we talking about The Noise? What was that sound effect supposed to be? What does it mean???
Everything else made perfect sense. Guy turned purple. Guy turns purple: match is immediately over, don't even call for the bell, everyone just leave. Everybody knows this.

I don't know if you were referencing this tweet or if it was a fantastic coincidence I know the House of Black has done the lights out gimmick before, but I don't think they've ever done it to abruptly end a match, so points to them on that. |

Has anyone pointed out that this character is like if Festus got really, really into Type O Negative or something?
If not, then I'm pointing it out right now.

I just can't understand how they've f***ed this man up so hard.
He's literally the easiest guy ever to write for. A cool, laid back, chill face. To think I had him tipped to beat Lashley for the title a few months back...
Even if you're going with the heel turn and this "Supernatural/Now You See Me" type stable, what the f*** does this blue light thing even mean or represent? I mean sure, use it for the entrance or whatever. But why would he drop to his knees and do THAT?
It makes no f***ing sense. Just contrived, nonsensical bullshit that serves no purpose except ruining an otherwise popular character... Don't get me started on the "OH HO HO HO HERE COMES THE DAMIEN" garbage.
