At this rate I expect Julia to finally join House of Black in December. Actual prediction is she's the X Factor in House of Black vs Death Triangle and comes out at the end to cost them the match at Double or Nothing, which can give them a few weeks of conflicted Julia to work with

Wasn’t sure which thread to put this in but with it being House of Black caused I figured I’d put it here. After yesterday’s angle, anyone else want Malakai’s influence on Julia to be she should leave Pillman and stay with Griff? That’s why she was so conflicted last night. If it was Pillman on the floor she would have nailed him with the chair. I actually would be way down for Griff joining House of Black with Julia and Pillman being left out in the dust because it's felt like he's turning into the blowhard of the group. I would rather Julia joined first and then Griff rather than at the same time, as it's more impressive that someone Black corrupted has managed to corrupt someone else.

I think they need to strongly consider making House of Black faces. People should not be cheering when Julia decides to join them, but they cheer because House of Black are cool as hell (and Varsity Blondes aren't). Malakai has been cheered in every feud he's had so they should lean more that way I think and feud with heels. I think they can easily be badass faces just without the cheating to win.

Well it was also a combo of Blondes/Pillman being cold as an act and people waiting on the turn for awhile, so people cheered The Wyatt Family got cheered and they did horrible things... if an act is over, they're just over.

The issue is this angle has been going on since December, and Julia hadn't been on AEW TV much until recently. What happened then was...she refused to hit Griff Garrison with the chair before Death Triangle chased HOB off, so the angle's still in a holding pattern several months later.

Instant gratification is one thing. But this has been going on since December!! If we were gratified now it sure wouldn't be instant.
Can't wait to look back on all the easter eggs fondly.

No offense, but why do you kind of make a habit of copying and pasting wrestlers thoughts as a response to topics? I don't care what Brody King thinks, I don't care what Fuego thinks. I still think this storyline is boring. What are YOUR thoughts? And it's completely possible to watch something patiently but still have an opinion on it as it moves along. "You're not allowed to have an opinion on this storyline that's been going for months until it's wrapped up" is folly.

Tony and company really need to work on timing/scheduling. As others have pointed out, we're now 6 months into the Julia "will she or won't she?" angle and they should have pulled the turn by mid-February.
It was interesting at first but now it's lost all momentum.
Sane thing with Pillman Jr. AEW blew it by not doing more with him shortly after the DSOTR episode on his Dad. I know Brian Jr. is still a bit green, not as green as Julia mind you, but outside of the match he had with MJF over the sullying of his Dad's name, Jr has done jack all since.
At this rate, given Brian's whatever that was promo last week, Julia ought to be the one to get him and Griff and her aligned with HOB. If they want to keep Malakai, Brody, and Buddy somewhat strong, they need lackeys.
Or maybe they can borrow Gacy's druids when Johnny isn't looking.

"You're not allowed to have an opinion on this storyline that's been going for months until it's wrapped up" is folly. I like it. I don't read any news websites so it's useful to add some context. Brodie King is totally wrong though. They didn't make 20 movies to build to Endgame, the movies were designed to be compelling stories in their own right. Had Marvel made boring movie after boring movie, promising there would be easter eggs to look back on in the end, they'd have never made it so far as Endgame.

I mentioned before and I will say it again, AEW will pull the trigger at DON, Julia betrays the DT, HoB wins to end the feud for good.

They should disband the VB, saw Pillman Jr said on twitter that he went from VB to Hollywood Blond(for his upcoming movie debut), Griff should remain as a face and spend more time in ROH.

I haven't agreed with Fuego or Brodie saying that it'll all be totally worth it, but I'm also not entirely blaming AEW for outside forces seemingly stopping this angle dead. Pillman Jr. went through months of mental shit, including his house burning down and being forced to essentially move, and then Garrison was seemingly also MIA for a few weeks as well with his own stuff.
It just didn't time out right that a few months kinda just flew by, and only now does everyone seem back in place to do something. I do think the end is at DON, because HOB vs Death Triangle is for sure happening at the PPV, it just sucked that almost the second they did the angle, Varsity Blondes hit some major snags.

Very much looking forward to HoB moving on from the Varsity Jobbers. These two dudes should not be on national TV at this point in their careers. Pillman especially is not fit for any role at his current talent level. He’s outright terrible in every facet of the game.
This feud has immensely cooled me on HoB.

I'm not going to be patient with your story if you're not doing anything to make it interesting during the wait.

Storylines can't become good in hindsight. Totally understand what you’re saying, but I would argue that Daniel Bryan’s 18 Seconds was only a “good storyline” in retrospect.

The thing about Marvel movies is they are worthwhile standalone movies for the most part even if they tie to a bigger narrative.
HoB has no such quality to them.
What comes to mind when Brody wants to make a reference like this for me is LU...as an example Penta and Vampiro.....he started breaking arms and talking about a master setting the end game from the start and while that trigger was never pulled for a long awhile they littered the path there with a whole bunch of intrigue before they finally laid all those cards on the table.
HoB has just been floating so to speak doing absoloutley nothing of interest in the down time and it has killed most of it not all interest and people are at the point of...just get this over with.

I agree Daniel Bryan is the key example of exactly this. WWE have tricked a bunch of people into thinking that his booking up to Mania 30 was good, too, when it was excruciating

I don't entirely disagree with Brody King, as I like a long-term story in general, but long-term storytelling isn't the same as doing nothing and making people wait. It was only last week that there was any movement at all since Julia was attacked.
