Moxley's Collision promo was epic

Moxley explicitly saying he hired Gabe Kidd is great stuff. Perfect addition to the group hope he makes some dates

Why can't the actual brand entirely feel like this. But no instead you have this gritty bad ass promo in a rainbow colored princes diaries vibe promotion. Tiny badly needs to hire some creative people to finally bring a identity to the promotion. It's a bit of a crisis across the entire promotion. Every company feels the same. Back then every promotion felt different, looked different and ran things differently.

It would make them like the old ECW. That would be great.

It doesn't need to be like ECW or WWF or WCW. But all 3 of those brands managed to look interesting, different and stand out. But the current vibe is generic rainbow cheese ball. The stages too shout nothing

Moxley’s promos won’t make up for how much of a meaningless clusterfuck the D Riders turned out to be.
I mean maybe if you only watch AEW promo vidoes. It ain't bad I guess though.

I mean how could it possibly be good when it doesn't match the entire nerdy promotion and branding. AEW seriously needs to revamp it's visual presentation. Logo is great but everything shouts generic game show. No style to it. I said it before and I'll say it again. Why does Wcw and WWF both rebrand at least 3 times in the 90s but 6 years in and aew is the same. Dude is beyond stubborn

Promo's are live, sir.
That's a pretape, and a pretape that doesn't make any sense at that.

All his talking has been really good lately, but this one I found great because it clearly, angrily, and arrogantly does a gentle readjustment of the whole purpose of the thing away from STEP UP AND PROVE YOURSELF towards YOU ARE FAKE/WE ARE PROFESSIONALS. As I said in the show thread, that might be a laughably hypocritical thing to say, but then that's what makes the heel the heel. He has perfectly set the stage for a babyface to step into.
But Gabe Kidd saying that line feels like the fakest thing ever
He might be the last person on Earth I'd pick to say it.

I’m assuming Death Riders have to win AITA in order for Mox to be at his most powerful going into All In.

Yeah I'm thinking the same, especially with Gabe Kidd being with them. There's a sense of urgency that seems to be building and things are starting to reach the boiling point for the Death Riders, which is why I loved this promo so much.
I think the re-adjustment is doing them well, as the Death Riders have been a lot more tolerable since the Australia show. You can see Moxley cracking and getting angrier and angrier. Its like he wants someone to prove to him that they are worthy of being a champion, while berating everyone for not being a professional.All his talking has been really good lately, but this one I found great because it clearly, angrily, and arrogantly does a gentle readjustment of the whole purpose of the thing away from STEP UP AND PROVE YOURSELF towards YOU ARE FAKE/WE ARE PROFESSIONALS.

He likes that people are stepping up, but hates it at the same time because it threatens his position. Its delusional madness fitting for a guy who is happy to have things fall into anarchy because its the only way he knows how to prove his point. He thinks he's a real champion and everyone else is pretending, so anarchy is a step up that proves how weak they all really are, and this promo really drove the point home.
I love it personally. This is definitely a villain arc that is set up to have a triumphant ending.
Promo, promo segment, pretape, talking segment, call it what you want. And this made perfect sense to me.

Why is he hiring talent? How do we square not being able to win a match without substantial interference with no one being on his level and him being the only "professional"?
Not a single minute of this entire arc has made any sense and this isn't any different.
He also still hasn't explained the multiple attempted murders.

PAC got taken out and he's getting jumped every week, he doesn't like the Young Bucks but works with them, so he needs reinforcements. Almost everyone in AEW who matters is trying to take him out. Darby and White included who are out right now. Marina keeps getting cancelled out by Willow.
Because he's a delusional madman, multiple guys including Joe have called him out as being a pussy who talks tough.
Welp, it does to me.
He's a vicious heel. He wants to take out those he deems as weak. Those that he doesn't deem as worthy or professional. Darby tried to run him over with a car, of course Mox was gonna try to murder him back. Bryan was "weak" which is why he tried to murder him.
