This is sadly missing Tony Khan standing up and chanting "YOUNG BUCKS! YOUNG BUCKS! YOUNG BUCKS!" as they went by This has to lead to Cutler reporting that the Bucks bought the boys in the back White Castle and everyone loves and appreciates them for it, or what are we even doing here.

Dunkin Gift Cards would be better given that whole Starbucks Gift card thing…

Brandon Cutler needs a website name. Maybe "Inside the Cut"? Source: Inside the Cut Our sources at Inside the Cut say Nickolas and Matthew Jackson have been short listed to receive a key to the City of Louisville, KY.

I hate authority figure characters, but they could pull it off with this angle. You could have them book their way to the top of the tag division and since they’re active wrestlers, they could actually get comeuppance and put someone over huge (as opposed to someone beating up a 70 year old non wrestler)

Perfect direction for them to go in. They needed it, it’s a reinvention that would make old (and current?) Jericho blush.
Going from the sneakers to those posh ass shoes seals it for me more than the mustaches. Love the EVP shit. I wonder what other old heads they’re going to go after to “restore the feeling of AEW”.

Those sleazy porn director mustaches are just perfect.

I wonder if it'll be old heads and "Ex WWE Guys" who came in after the founding, so like not Dustin or Jericho maybe but others who have joined since. Like "You guys weren't the reason we started the company, we started the company to give the indie underdogs a shot, not you!" In that vein there's a lot of options up and down the card, Adam Copeland jumps out whenever his feud with Christian finishes. The Hardy's would be a perfect target but they're going heel so I assume them and Christian won't get targeted right now. Miro's always there.

Eventually this'll put them in the path of Edge AND Christian.

This makes absolutely no sense.
They're going to get rid of Sting? It's Sting's final match, he's going anyway.

If they're going corporate for their gimmick - which I've not seen, but love immediately in principle - it's time to get corporate haircuts.
Nick, brother, I've got the hairline problems too. It's time, and now, it'll fit your gimmick. Let it go.

Yeah, the promo made that clear. They have no problem with Sting, just what Sting embodies and want to be the ones to send him off to send a message. Makes sense to me.

I didn't love the promo, but I at least appreciate the direction and what they were going for here. I think for this particular feud, the characters will work.
I wonder how this is going to work out in the long run, though. Crowds will boo them now because it's Sting, but this is so clearly parody and a play on some of the Punk stuff lately that I think it's going to get AEW's core audience to just cheer them as hard as they were before the character changes. The people they're heeling for (like the cult of he who shall not be named) don't seem to actually watch the TV show. They just listen to the recaps.
I don't want to turn this into another how heels should act vs. how faces should act discussion, but this was just my initial observation. I wouldn't be surprised if my take doesn't age well, but it's just how I felt after watching that promo.
