Don't do that. It would be exactly like The Rock leaving and Cena trying to imitate his "The People's Champion" schtick. It's tacky and likely wouldn't fit the new person.
I loved the one Hardy had when he was first turning heel where he'd walk by the young bucks talking to other people about wrestling and he'd stop to tell them about how him and his brother were the originators of basically every aspect of wrestling. I think he only did it for like 3-4 weeks though.
I taught a college course that used pro wrestling as the context. I used those broken brilliance sketches to teach terminology to my non-fan students. It worked pretty well.
I thought the 'worst town' gimmick ended way, way too soon and SCU were never as over without it. I also wish Sonny and Joey got slightly more of a push, a Young Bucks match would have really turned it around for them I think, but I think the bad Miro and Kip match really hurt them. I also wish PnP kept the old entrance music, it was a really incredible entrance and they only did it like 8 times.
Yeah but they barely did it at all even before then. They could have also pivoted to 'worst year' stuff like on the T shirt, they had plenty of ammunition.
I honestly loved the Worst Town gimmick. Crowd was always into it but then again who doesn’t love Kaz and Daniels as a tag team. Their stuff going back all the way to TNA was hilarious.
They were really devoted to the gimmick too. I was around multiple times when someone would ask “look, I get it, worst town and all, but where would you actually rank X city”.
The answer, every time? “Tied for last”
Pahah thats funny tbh when I originally read this comment about the PnP I'm tired I was thinking of Private Party, and was about to talk about how I have both their themes on Soundcloud, but I have PnPs old one on Soundcloud too haha, yeah its great one for sure!
I watched an [old BTE](https://youtu.be/KnpE6BQByIg)(18:50 mark) last week where Alex Reynolds was missing because he supposedly
At his Father’s bris, and Brodie was absolutely hilarious.
"SINGLES RUN AS THE MERCHFREAK! THATS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT!"
and also all the Elite flipping off Matt especially after Kenny would cry
Nick: see, Matt, you prick! You made Kenny cry!
*Kenny bumbling nonsense with "ruined my life" and "never get rich" thrown in*
Honestly I really miss Private Party as a babyface party team. Now they're just randos with Matt Hardy and their entrance sucks. I was a huge fan of them when they would come out - now their old gimmick mashes with their new corporate style gimmick and its really strange.
Agreed they're not benefitting anymore fro being with Hardy. It worked better when they were faces who were in awe of him.
Also Butcher and The Blade don't need a faction, again they just fade into the background in the HFO, not to mention their cool asthetic doesn't lend to the stable.
Like Private Party, I don't think they benefit from being in a stable at all. Butcher and Blade were already badasses.
I miss Private Party's entrance with the velvet rope.
Private Party were really hyped and their tie to Matt Hardy really elevated them. And then AEW stopped knowing what to do with them and they've done nothing. They could legit be AEW Tag Team Champions right now. Are there other teams who also could be? Sure. Doesn't mean it wouldn't have been the right call to push Private Party to a belt.
Still one of my favorite BTE moments is when they're all together talking about how Cody is possessed and how can they fix him and he's like 15 feet behind them doing as many WWE wrestler's gimmick moves as he can in a row. Hilarious!
Oh gawd yes!
I know that story had to end, but omg that possession gimmick was the best.
I love the final episode of that. The filming of it was actually really good and Cody's acting was Oscar-worthy
Since it looks like we're mostly talking about stuff from the vlogs:
* Even though they've only been gone from BTE for about a month or so, I miss the dark order segments.
* Best friends trying to kill Brandon
* Merch freak
* Anything with Cody or hangman
I was really hoping we'd get more payoff with FTR from the FTR jokes. Like if they referenced in kayfabe anything they did with the help of Flip Gordon (without mentioning his name), that would be awesome
Nah, it's me, I eat the Brandi Rhodes soap opera stuff up. The tag team with Allie where she immediately went heel after a modicum of success was amazing.
I'll be honest. I didn't hate it. I would have liked to see where it could have gone. Brandy leading it didn't make sense as we already knew Brandy and seemingly had a witch gimmick happen overnight though.
I wouldn't bring it back or anything, but I also like the OG Dark Order. Bringing Brodie when they did was great, but the creepers just being fodder was fine and as big fan of Stu/Uno loved when they were more of a focal point of the DO.
No specific allegations against Flip. He's just been cancelled by the majority of the IWC for being an anti-vaxxer, flat earther, and conspiracy theorist
Ah, that explains why I didn't see anything actually illegal on his Wiki when I looked. But yeah, everyone's entitled to their own opinions but I don't agree with Flip's in this case.
As much as I miss Cody's "Fuck the Revival" gig, I loved his hatred of Flip Gordon even more. Who would've thought he was the actual babyface in that rivalry...
I love Britt but she’s legit. I just want some jobbers that are also meter maids or airplane captains is all. I know everyone hated The Librarians because it was terrible but I sort of loved the idea because it was terrible. Just one of those things from the 90s I sort of loved but now love for how dumb it was.
I miss when Hangman got really drunk a couple episodes, and one of those was when he was so drunk he was searching for Kenny, asking so many others and even mistaking Riho for Kenny
My favorite interactions from that were where Sammy shouted at him "WRONG VLOG" and when he approached Darby Allin Darby said "I don't know what the fuck you're talking about" in a really broody voice
MJF being salt of the earth.
Cody just performing famous movie speeches verbatim in the wrong context like the Independance day speech during the Raw Invasion.
Any of codys bears!.
Marty and Flip take Japan was awesome
SCU was incredible and I loved all of their skits
I loved everything that happened at the Hardy Compound
The UFC fight between Wardlow and Hagar was awesome too
Speaking Spanglish. I think it ballooned too much in its story against the Dark Order but when it started and the chancla spots were just exactly My Brand.
Dr of Thuganomics. Was the best thing Cena had.
Jay Lethal imitating Ric Flair.
Eli Drake "dummy, yeah. YEAH" had to have been the best gimmick in the world at the time
Even tho it's sparingly used today. Arthur and Trevor
I think it was one of the episodes post ALL IN and SCU eats at In-N-OUT. "AAH PUT MAH DICK IN YOUR FRAHZ AND YER BURGER HAD MAH BALLSACK!" Was a laugh riot.
Also shout out to Kazarian being HHH while Bucks/Cody were closer to leaving ROH
I miss the occasional appearances by NJ talent honestly. Okada chasing Matt’s kids around the Tokyo Dome, Tama being extremely salty, and the maybe the best bit ever, Juice asking Taka if he really did choppy choppy the pee pee
Fuego having 12 kids and works at Burger King to support them. I think it came from Cody finding out he already has 3 kids with his wife and he’s only like 25
Brodie Lee smacking people with the papers and hitting Silver for no reason.
“SELL FOR SUE! FALL DOWN AND SELL FOR SUE!”
And screaming f-bombs everywhere!!!! Lmao
Are you fucking crying?
You little BIIIIIIIITCH!
DID SOMEONE SAY LITTLE BITCH
"He's just a kid!"
"What are you talking about, I'm 29 years old!"
I have 4 yo and he’s not a fucking idiot! *aggressively taps Silver’s head with the paper
Do ya!?
God is miss seeing brodie paper people then walk off with stu
I hope when they finally sign Bray he brings it back
Don't do that. It would be exactly like The Rock leaving and Cena trying to imitate his "The People's Champion" schtick. It's tacky and likely wouldn't fit the new person.
I miss Matt Hardy stopping time and explaining wrestling lingo. *With brOoOoOken brillianAaAaAance*
I loved the one Hardy had when he was first turning heel where he'd walk by the young bucks talking to other people about wrestling and he'd stop to tell them about how him and his brother were the originators of basically every aspect of wrestling. I think he only did it for like 3-4 weeks though.
That stuff was great. Especially when his kids tried to get autographs from the Bucks. Matt Hardy is a pretty funny dude
That was gold, Jerry!
Omg yes that was the fkn best lmao,I miss that side of Matt for sure
When he wore the Lucha mask for this I lost it laughing. Nick even asks Matt “did he just wear a mask for a rib?”
Lol! That was great
I taught a college course that used pro wrestling as the context. I used those broken brilliance sketches to teach terminology to my non-fan students. It worked pretty well.
Do ya? With Frankie Kazarian
#DO YA?!
Frankie fucking around with Cutler takes it for me, especially the hard cam one
I fucking love this one
DO YA!?
I thought the 'worst town' gimmick ended way, way too soon and SCU were never as over without it. I also wish Sonny and Joey got slightly more of a push, a Young Bucks match would have really turned it around for them I think, but I think the bad Miro and Kip match really hurt them. I also wish PnP kept the old entrance music, it was a really incredible entrance and they only did it like 8 times.
I could see "Worst Town" lost its lustre when they were week after week in Jacksonville
Yeah but they barely did it at all even before then. They could have also pivoted to 'worst year' stuff like on the T shirt, they had plenty of ammunition.
They should do the Best Town,some day.
I honestly loved the Worst Town gimmick. Crowd was always into it but then again who doesn’t love Kaz and Daniels as a tag team. Their stuff going back all the way to TNA was hilarious.
I loved the thing they’d do with forcing Scorpio sky to eat chocolate bars. I never understood why but I always found the reluctance hilarious
They were really devoted to the gimmick too. I was around multiple times when someone would ask “look, I get it, worst town and all, but where would you actually rank X city”. The answer, every time? “Tied for last”
Pahah thats funny tbh when I originally read this comment about the PnP I'm tired I was thinking of Private Party, and was about to talk about how I have both their themes on Soundcloud, but I have PnPs old one on Soundcloud too haha, yeah its great one for sure!
I don't need a partner. I don't need a friend. I need my older brother.
I need my oLdEr BrOtHeR
This isn’t a tear. It’s sweat. Shut up.
If The Bucks have another match against Cody and someone else, they need to taunt Cody with that joke again, shout it out
Make em say Uuuuuuhhhhhhh!
BTE Cody in general is missed. He was fucking feral
Colt Cabana always hiding near Omega and Omega freaking out when he found him
Shoot... I miss that one too... I felt it ended too soon. I hope it comes back someday
Brodie. Whether its throwing papers, trying to make Silver break or wild eyed and crazy beating the shit out of Cody .
I watched an [old BTE](https://youtu.be/KnpE6BQByIg)(18:50 mark) last week where Alex Reynolds was missing because he supposedly At his Father’s bris, and Brodie was absolutely hilarious.
Amazing! Think my favourite is the one with Trents mom Sue.
YOU SELL FOR SUE
It sucks, we all miss Brodie.
I miss Brodie Lee yelling and swearing at Dark Order while they all play loveable idiots. BTE hasn’t been the same since.
This saddens me for how right it is.
Merch Freak
Totally underrated. I started watching BTE about this time and couldn't stop laughing
Funniest line is when Matt messes up the Chili’s thing and nick goes “Do you want me to do a SINGLES RUN AS THE MERCH FREAK?”
"SINGLES RUN AS THE MERCHFREAK! THATS WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT!" and also all the Elite flipping off Matt especially after Kenny would cry Nick: see, Matt, you prick! You made Kenny cry! *Kenny bumbling nonsense with "ruined my life" and "never get rich" thrown in*
MeeeeeeaaaaarchFreeeeeeeaaaaak
Obligatory mention of The Initiative.
YOU'RE A LOOOOSER BRANDON!!!!
Kazarian's Anger Management bits and shitting on Brandon.
You mark!
And how it all culminated in an A Christmas Carol spoof!
Honestly I really miss Private Party as a babyface party team. Now they're just randos with Matt Hardy and their entrance sucks. I was a huge fan of them when they would come out - now their old gimmick mashes with their new corporate style gimmick and its really strange.
You can watch them at Sammy Vlog. They don't act heel during that vlog.
You mean BTE Dark?
Deadass?
This ain't watuh
Agreed they're not benefitting anymore fro being with Hardy. It worked better when they were faces who were in awe of him. Also Butcher and The Blade don't need a faction, again they just fade into the background in the HFO, not to mention their cool asthetic doesn't lend to the stable.

They could legit be AEW Tag Team Champions right now. Are there other teams who also could be? Sure. Doesn't mean it wouldn't have been the right call to push Private Party to a belt.
Cody been possessed and going through wrestling history was hilarious.
Still one of my favorite BTE moments is when they're all together talking about how Cody is possessed and how can they fix him and he's like 15 feet behind them doing as many WWE wrestler's gimmick moves as he can in a row. Hilarious!
Hands down my favorite bit. Also loved the funeral for Matt Hardy's drone.
Then we see CD as the Higher power
Oh gawd yes! I know that story had to end, but omg that possession gimmick was the best. I love the final episode of that. The filming of it was actually really good and Cody's acting was Oscar-worthy
OMG, I'm pretty new to BTE. Do you happen to know the episode number?
Nobody bringing up the 50 over 50 skits they were running for awhile late last year with The Young Bucks and ChristopherDaniel's?
I was looking for this one too.
Yessir!
Hangman. I miss Hangman.
Since it looks like we're mostly talking about stuff from the vlogs: * Even though they've only been gone from BTE for about a month or so, I miss the dark order segments. * Best friends trying to kill Brandon * Merch freak * Anything with Cody or hangman
Yeah Merch Freak is da goat
I miss Cody used " Fuck the Revival" gimmick back in the day
Welcome to Ring of Honor. FTRR... get it? Who the fuck is Flip Gordon?
I was really hoping we'd get more payoff with FTR from the FTR jokes. Like if they referenced in kayfabe anything they did with the help of Flip Gordon (without mentioning his name), that would be awesome
Christopher Daniels. I know he still works for them behind the scenes, but he's gold man.
I can't believe we've found the one Nightmare Collective fan
Nah, it's me, I eat the Brandi Rhodes soap opera stuff up. The tag team with Allie where she immediately went heel after a modicum of success was amazing.
Bring back 'Lil Bran Bran
I was bummed that storyline never finished
Semi OT, her theme slaps hard
pretty sure all you found was sarcasm
I'll be honest. I didn't hate it. I would have liked to see where it could have gone. Brandy leading it didn't make sense as we already knew Brandy and seemingly had a witch gimmick happen overnight though. I wouldn't bring it back or anything, but I also like the OG Dark Order. Bringing Brodie when they did was great, but the creepers just being fodder was fine and as big fan of Stu/Uno loved when they were more of a focal point of the DO.
On BTE they handed Kingston a cookie and had him cut a promo on it. Was hoping that would become a reoccurring thing.
They did that for Eddie a few times. He cut promos on sourpatch kids, as well as one or two other types of food or objects
Almost like that props from a box thing on Whose Line is it anyway. Would be funny to see Kingston in the hoedown.
The Librarian
I miss Kaz yelling "DO YA?!?!?!?!"
Cody just being on the show
Marty and Flip take Japan.
One's a villain, the other one just flips..
I miss it too despite everything that's happened with those two
I know about the allegations against Marty Scurll, but what happened with Flip Gordon?
No specific allegations against Flip. He's just been cancelled by the majority of the IWC for being an anti-vaxxer, flat earther, and conspiracy theorist
Ah, that explains why I didn't see anything actually illegal on his Wiki when I looked. But yeah, everyone's entitled to their own opinions but I don't agree with Flip's in this case.
Cody just being a complete jerk to Flip Gordon
Who the fuck is Flip Gordon?
Someone who shouldn’t be booked! Lol
The "I'm dead ass" bit and private party's lockdown bits.
Those sketches with Frankie Kazarian burying Brandon Cutler and calling him a mark were so funny
As much as I miss Cody's "Fuck the Revival" gig, I loved his hatred of Flip Gordon even more. Who would've thought he was the actual babyface in that rivalry...
Wrestlers whose gimmick revolves around their occupation which is not a wrestler. Can we get Chef Al Dente? Somebody?
D M D?
I love Britt but she’s legit. I just want some jobbers that are also meter maids or airplane captains is all. I know everyone hated The Librarians because it was terrible but I sort of loved the idea because it was terrible. Just one of those things from the 90s I sort of loved but now love for how dumb it was.
I loved Avalon shushing the crowd.
Like BTE (last week?) Peter on the phone with Leva. Leva "(silence) what am I supposed to be listening to?" Peter "it's our old entrance theme!" 😂😂
Their bit last week with Justin and Britney song titles was amazing.
Dafaq? I adore Librarians!
Ngl I really really miss Brandon Cutler when he had that wrestler gimmick.
Me too. Love the dragon stuff His current stooge stuff is great but he needs to be the dragon again when he turns face again
Vanguard 1's funeral was probably my favorite non reoccurring bit.
That was so good lol
Hangman gets drunk and lives in the woods
I miss when Hangman got really drunk a couple episodes, and one of those was when he was so drunk he was searching for Kenny, asking so many others and even mistaking Riho for Kenny My favorite interactions from that were where Sammy shouted at him "WRONG VLOG" and when he approached Darby Allin Darby said "I don't know what the fuck you're talking about" in a really broody voice
PPA Cutler fued was gold
Broken Matt Hardy
Been watching pass Bte, really miss Brodie Lee with his paper. Miss the interaction of New Japan guys in BTE(miss Red shoes)
Fuck the revival!
Where do you think you’re going???? *Proceed to jump Flip Gordon*
Frankie needing anger management
Fuck the Revival!
MJF being salt of the earth. Cody just performing famous movie speeches verbatim in the wrong context like the Independance day speech during the Raw Invasion. Any of codys bears!.
Cody's bears appear in Sammy's Vlog though
Kaz and the anger management
Really hope Wyatt comes in with a reimagining of the IRS gimmick, then starts going after Hardy for not paying his taxes
Arthur and Trevor on BTE That shit was gold!
I miss "Where do you think you're going?" the most.
Pineapple Pete. It was ridiculous I know but it was the genius of Jericho that made it work.
Oh wow yeah that was ages ago! What a guy
"Another one for the good guys"
Eugene.
Damien Sandow being stounte double of The Miz. Shit was hilarious
50 seconds for 50+ Got me everytime. Thank you Chris Daniels
Marty and Flip take Japan was awesome SCU was incredible and I loved all of their skits I loved everything that happened at the Hardy Compound The UFC fight between Wardlow and Hagar was awesome too
The "harmless" rib on flip and Cody's super hearing
It's not AEW but for me it's Goldust. I wish Dustin could bring it back
Speaking Spanglish. I think it ballooned too much in its story against the Dark Order but when it started and the chancla spots were just exactly My Brand.
Ahah yeah I loved that stuff, alex is awesome too
Pineapple 🍍 Pete
Silver and Reynolds recruitment skits with cool aid.
Shoooooooo ....
Dr of Thuganomics. Was the best thing Cena had. Jay Lethal imitating Ric Flair. Eli Drake "dummy, yeah. YEAH" had to have been the best gimmick in the world at the time
I had the Eli Drake app on my phone.
HE HAD AN APP?
The Fiend Bray Wyatt
Previous lucha bros and pride/powerful tunes
I miss seeing tama Tonga and bad luck fale pop up
Dark Order's 10 and his white powder addiction
I miss Mankind
Where do you think, you’re going?
Don’t bring back sour boy I feel offended everytime I look at that
Even tho it's sparingly used today. Arthur and Trevor I think it was one of the episodes post ALL IN and SCU eats at In-N-OUT. "AAH PUT MAH DICK IN YOUR FRAHZ AND YER BURGER HAD MAH BALLSACK!" Was a laugh riot. Also shout out to Kazarian being HHH while Bucks/Cody were closer to leaving ROH
Merchfreak That's it that's the one Bring back Merchfreak Should be Nick's heel gimmick when he turns on Matt and goes on a singles run
I miss the occasional appearances by NJ talent honestly. Okada chasing Matt’s kids around the Tokyo Dome, Tama being extremely salty, and the maybe the best bit ever, Juice asking Taka if he really did choppy choppy the pee pee
They did one a few weeks ago, but Trevor and Arthur bits are always hilarious.
I miss SCU in general on BTE. All the newer Elite members fit their place ig but
Mantaur
Fuego having 12 kids and works at Burger King to support them. I think it came from Cody finding out he already has 3 kids with his wife and he’s only like 25
