Yeah, can't reallt fault the promo. Was good. Its gonna be tough continuing story when Cole is injured. But they did a good job of setting up title paths for the guys and BCG & Acclaimed coming out definitely helped. Man’s injured and Tony’s got him carrying the whole stable

So Roddy didn't have the neck brace on last night, guess this means that #NeckStrong has ended. I would question why it has ended when it was getting Strong so over, it was the best character work he had ever done and it was also getting Bennett and Taven over as well. It was also getting face reactions and generating a "WHAT"-esque crowd hijacking response, so I can see some good reasons to move on from it when Roddy now has something else substantial to be doing. He's also not stopped doing the mannerisms that got him over, but they got boos now that he's aligned with someone despised. So it might work out. I get that and from that perspective I understand why they moved on from it. It was great seeing Roddy bitch out to such an extent he was dragging his taint on the carpet and drinking out of the toilet though.

For a second there I thought you made this topic after their Dynamite promo. Good call.

Not a big fan of Wardlow becoming somebody’s goon again and doing the same thing he was doing for years with MJF, but I liked the promo anyway.

Does anyone really fear the Kingdom and Roddy?

Does anyone really fear the Kingdom and Roddy? I dont think it's about fear, Bullet Club Gold and Acclaimed aren't afraid, Hangman isn't afraid They're a group of bullies and cowards who hid behind masks and using numbers to win, which is a flavor of faction but not one necessarily feared outside of Wardlow's muscle.

Bit of a waste of Wardlow, imo.

Bit of a waste of Wardlow, imo. I've been wanting him to jump to WWE anyway. He may have hit his ceiling in AEW.

Bit of a waste of Wardlow, imo. It seemed pretty obvious from the promo that Wardlow is going to eventually go ‘f these bunch of geeks’ and wreck them all. Not a bad use of Wardlow to go back to the ‘frustrated big guy, held back’ gimmick but this time, he’s going to use it to his advantage.

I hope whatever this group does, it leaves some room for Bryan vs Roddy somewhere.

Bit of a waste of Wardlow, imo. Yeah it seems to be leading towards the same type of story as they had Wardlow do with MJF, where he gets sick of being used and destroys everyone, but since it’s already been done (and another storyline is doing the exact same thing with Christian) it may not hit the same way as the MJF story did. If they didn’t rip all of Wardlow’s momentum over the past year, I think him beating Max for the title would have been a good story, but I don’t see Wardlow as a title contender with his current momentum. When you go back and watch the crowd reaction when he beat Scorpio Sky for the TNT title and compare it to what he’s been the last year or so, it’s kinda sad.

Maybe Wardlow and MJF are in cahoots and are playing the long game.
Mjf knew he needed to find out who the devil is, what better option is there than to get Wardlow back onside to infiltrate the group. They'd never suspect him.

Yeah so like heel Adam Cole has been played out and boring for years and I was never that fond of him in the first place and he's by far the best part of this group, and that isn't a compliment to him.

My impression so far of the group: -the theme is f***ing amazing -while I didn't want Cole as the devil beforehand, him and the group make the most sense narratively, which means it's not as much of an OH SHIT reveal but it feels more true to AEW to have the most straightforward answer be the one for their first big mystery angle (unless there's a prior mystery angle I'm forgetting) -I think that similarly to MJF and his leaving AEW angle, Miro and getting cucked, Adam Cole REALLY wants that big evil betrayal and faction storyline in that "This is my creative baby and I will pursue this no matter what" way, and the last few attempts didn't go greatly but I guess I'd rather he goes for it here. If he's gotta make the best of various snake bites with injuries and such, I'd rather he get to do it with something he wants to do? Like, if it's his creative vision I want him to get the shot to tell it sink or swim in the company where you get a more open canvas to be creative on? Like an optimistic "wait and see but I hope you make it work" kind of deal. -I also think this is gonna be one of those gimmicks/wrestlers/groups I just have to shut off live threads for it's got that like "didn't land with the FANs and will probably only get worse from here reception wise but I kinda wanna try and enjoy it and being on here when everyone else isn't f***ing with it won't be good" vibe lol
