Tonight is the night they need to hit the ball out of the park with these guys

They need a win and some story development of who they actually are

People are getting too frustrated with the lack of.... everything about them so far

Fwiw I think they will be beaten finalists to the Lucha Brothers

 

[Oracle]

What? Dark Order are refreshing from the rest of the jump flipy crew.

Im hoping they get the belts first

 

[Optikk is All Elite]

We haven’t seen enough of them. Why are they dark? We need to see them frequently before making up our minds on them.

 

[Geeee]

The match they had to gain a bye in the tournament was fire. So I think the issue has been entirely presentation. Maybe just get rid of the gimps LOL

Like keep them spooky but don't have them sit on a chair made out of bondage slaves?

 

[Reggie Dunlop]

They missed a golden opportunity to get them over last week — they could have attacked SCU instead of the Lucha Brothers. But if the plan is to have SCU vs LB in the tag finals, then that adds a little more heat to that match.

Whatever they do with them, Dark Order needs to be a bit more ... dark.

 

[V-Trigger]

I have a feeling that they're going to pair Scurll with them.

 

[Geeee]

I do think the sample size is a little small too. They've been on TV...three times?

 

[CHAMPIONSHIPS]

I like them. Here's the thing - their gimmick just doesn't work for AEWs audience. It's a gimmick that takes itself too seriously. That's not going to get over with the type of people who fuel AEW

 

[NXT Only]

I just hope the lights don’t go out for them. Can’t deal with another thread about the lights.

As for them they need some character development, like what is their purpose, why are they the way they are.

 

[Sbatenney]

Well...they clearly have high hopes for the Dark Order, but we all think they’re fucking shit, true?

Too me, if Dark Order won the tag title, even if they beat SCU this week, it’s symbolic this isn’t any different to the WWE.

Simply pushing whoever they want to push and ignoring the fans.

Keen to see the Dark Order shelved, they’re done.

Well given how many people have shat on Stunt's performance aka getting his shit in on the Lucha Bros and yet Nick Jackson called it a home run. I can expect them to be a big part of the tag team division.

I don't expect them to always listen to the fans, that would be stupid because fans can change their minds in a heartbeat and at the end of the day, they need to push who they believe in.

The problem is we don’t really know what their gimmick is yet. Are they dark and evil, or are they a comedy team? They’re kind of all over the place at the moment, and my guess is they’re having a hard time making the transition from Super Smash Brothers to whatever it is they’re supposed to be now. I don’t care what it is, they’ve got the potential to be real players in the tag division, we just don’t know what they’re supposed to be. A gimmick like what I think they’re heading towards needs a well-established identity, and they just don’t have that yet, so fans don’t know how they’re supposed to react. It’s not that they can’t get over with these fans, and that’s kind of a dumb statement to be honest, considering you’re talking about fans who have been heavily criticized for the diversity of talent that has gotten over with them.

 

[CHAMPIONSHIPS]

Almost every gimmick in AEW has some sort of ironic subversion or element of humor. The Dark Order are basically AEW's version of The Bludgeon Brothers. They feel tonally outdated and play their gimmick too straight, especially with the overall tone of the promotion

Hey, has anybody had a rational conversation with this poster that didn't devolve into personal attacks?

:goaway

salty ass

Maybe the solution is to actually make the Dark Order a BDSM gimmick LOL

Hey, you made the dig on the AEW fan base. That was a completely inaccurate generalization.

Saying that a certain tag team isn't going to get over is not a dig at the entirety of the AEW fanbase :lmao are you mentally ill??

Bruh you are ridiculously defensive :goaway keep baiting and trying to throw insults though, you'll get it back soon enough

This is unironically a great idea and I hope they do it lol

 

[Necrolust]

I think an image like this, needs to be build up a bit first. Maybe some YouTube promos before the debut, would’ve been better instead of just “boom, here we are and we’re an evil faction!”

Perhaps they can be salvaged, as I like Stu, great in ring ability and evil uno gives off some nice old school vibes, but their gimmick is just bad and uninspired.

Yeah obviously it’s all in my head. Thanks for setting me straight, Dr Phil.

 

[Death Rider]

Tbh they are not working for me. They need someone to speak for them. Like why do they have random gimps?

 

[Stylebender]

They piss me off. Aew needs to get rid of them,sunny kiss and midget stunt at the same time before aew becomes a chikara promotion.
