New theme is amazing. Happy to see them getting praise elsewhere. Been a while but feels like their old selves again. They seem pretty focused since returning.
They definitely have a chip on their shoulders right now and I’m definitely here for it.

Just watched their match and promo from Rampage.
Yeah, this was the shot in the arm the Bucks needed. Legit like 1000 times more interesting with this presentation.

Yeah Rampage segment was really good. Matt being all company man in his closing lines saying 'thanks for coming, enjoy the show everyone' is great touch

I just noticed how their wrestling style has gotten a lot more methodical now. Less breakneck speed. Think it suits their new characters a lot better.
Also love the dynamic of Nicholas being a hotheaded dick while Matthew is the corporate speak guy. Brandon Cutler being their personal Hausman/Satin stooge is hilarious, too.

My favorite version of the Young Bucks are still when they were AJ Styles and Kenny Omega’s scummy Bullet Club henchmen in New Japan. Specifically the Dominion match with AJ and Okada where Red Shoes threw out the Bucks and they threw a baby tantrum on the ramp.

It brings to mind the All In build where they were starting to show the beginnings of this heel run as it now stands, and were on about asking about when they'd 'get their flowers'. It's a real power move to follow that up by coming back with new characters that are putting big eyes on them and even baiting in some of their haters.

One of my fave visuals in wrestling is white gear coated in blood. It always works and sells the beating as more brutal and the heels as more vicious. I love that white is the coulour of choice for deathmatch wrestlers. Anyway great visual which is very welcome given how ugly aew is these days with the LEDs and a million lights and logos.

I wonder if white being so popular in deathmatches, besides the great visual of blood on white clothing, is because of the association of white with death in Japan?

Watching the Rampage promo and I’m wondering if part of the reason the rankings returned was so the Bucks can so obviously work their way through the other teams by cheating their way to the top.

I do like its a different take on the "evil boss".
They cant outright stack all the odds on their favor but they can still have "pull" and of course the slimy boss attitude is legit great.They are less the evil GM trope and more that one manager you absolute hate in your job

Here, they can make opportunities for themselves, but they're still constrained by the same bounds as other wrestlers regarding their title aspirations.

The Succession theme song music they've got rocks. Easily most interesting they've been since the heel turn with Kenny.

I think what helps is that Tony Khan is still the supreme authority in AEW and *knocks on wood* since he isn't a heel, he can override blatant power abuses by the Jacksons.
