The Dark Order segments have also been one of the best parts of BTE. The whole show has been really good the past few weeks too.

Too bad they can't show the Dark Order stuff on Dynamite. They'd be over.

I didn't see Dynamite and will probably skip it for a month because the No Limit and DMX documentary series are on at the same time and bringing in fucking Zack Ryder pissed me off.

Matt is Codys buddy so I thought he'd end up in AEW. But when Rusev is available I would have gone for him instead as he has more upside. That being said, I'll see what they do with Matt Cordona. One important thing too for AEW to consider is they don't need a WCW situation where they've got too many people under contract.
Certain guys and girls I'd made an exception for, but right now their roster is fine. If they sign more working agreement(s) with other promotions they'd have the benefit of fresh names coming in but not in such a way it ways down the roster. Plus they could send some AEW talent away on excursion to improve too.
Most likely reason Excalibur wasn't announcing on Dynamite

As far as Excalibur, it was Human Tornado who asked he and Kevin Steen to say it. They probably should have said no, but he booked the angle so it's a little different than other cases. Certainly not Hulk Hogan.

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread [Dynamite every Wednesday on TNT]
This weeks Dynamite wasn't the best. More miss than hit. Matt Cordona turning up was kinda underwhelming, he's only booked for 5 appearances I read. But if they give him the right angle then he might flourish. The Brodie papers thing didn't really work on the show as the camera was a bit far away. MJF needs much more build before he beats Mox for the title.
They could have built the MJF/Cody feud much longer and the Elite not standing up for him could have been the catalyst for a heel turn. Seems the seeds are planted for a Horsemen faction. Hangman was fun in that segment, I think he would be more so the choice ahead of MJF for now. But again he needs building up to that level.
Ricky Starks would have been more suited for the Inner Circle. With Eddie Kingston now part of AEW maybe he'll recruit Santana & Ortiz for a new faction and Ricky can join the IC.
I also think The Elite needs to step up and be the focal point of AEW, especially Kenny. Maybe if MJF does become champion then Kenny will beat him for it but on paper an Omega v MJF match doesn't sound very appealing. With this new faction they are planning I think MJF as the Paul E type with a Dangerous Alliance of Hangman, FTR & Shawn Spears would be better. Max is solid on the mic but in ring he does need some improvement.
I also think AEW need some more focus regarding where they want to go. Booking so far has been good but Wednesdays show was rather scattershot. I think they are trying too hard to get Orange over too. Let it build organically and study how he performs in the demos. Dark Order are more so a comedy faction whereas in theory they should be nWo like in their effectiveness. Maybe Brodie should cast out Uno et al and bring in some big names who can run roughshod so the Elite has to band together to defeat them.

They should make the 6 p.m. one 6:05 for old times sake.
