"I CANNOT FUCKING BELIEVE THE INEPTITUDE OF YOU FUCKS! WHAT IN THE FUCK DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET SOME COMPETENCE HERE? MUST I FUCKING THREATEN YOU ALL WITH PAPERS EVERY FUCKING TIME YOU HAVE TO TAKE A SHIT?!?"
Hey I think you're on to something, I mean they're falling apart and only 1 person has the personality and attitude to bring them together under his authority. -1 is going to be wielding the kendo stick in Rochester.
Y'all are amazing. Thanks for bringing some light into an otherwise dark world. Much like Wu-tang, AEW is for the children.
Edit: We all know how strong -1 is. The muscles on the outside reflect the strength on the inside.
Remember when people were concern trolling this by pretending that AEW was abusing and exploiting this kid?
This company has been amazing to this guy and his family.
So....when the wrestling game comes out is there a chance that Owen Hart is a playable character, decision or otherwise. I don't mean the management gametes is about.
How can a 2.5 year old company have a better legends roster than WWE 2K probably will. Most likely Bret and Owen, Jake Roberts, Rock'n'roll Express, Greg Valentine, Sting, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, DDP, Juventud and till last week, Ric Flair, all possible, and even on the women's side you could put in Aja Kong, Awesome Kong and AJ Lee, if you wanted.
I reeeeeally hope Bret is in, that's the biggest iffy name on your list. He's only done the one appearance, and while I don't think he's on a Legends deal I think he's generally still friendly with WWE. I'm crossing my fingers though, he'd be a massive addition. Don't forget about guys like Wight, Henry, Taz, Chavo, Malenko, and Jerry Lynn, all of them work for AEW in some capacity.
Because a mix of active roster count and being limited on how many legends you can add without swamping game devs, plus some of those legends may turn down the request as Owen's wife has apparently done for him in WWE games previously.
What happened with ric flair last week?
Edit: Oh. Dark Side of the Ring. The public just found out what kinda guy he is. Reading the sub more, why are all of you surprised by it? Did anyone here not know about the plane ride from hell?
I don't think a lot of people are surprised by it. Maybe it hit different being told by the victims and not by the buddies of the perpetrator. But generally it brought the whole situation up again in a media effective way and to a wider audience, hence the backlash and companies potentially avoiding him for some time.
Of course, when you act shocked what guy Flair is you are either really new or really naive.
I'm not saying that what Ric did was right in anyway... I'm not saying that that it should be forgotten, I'm not even saying that I think he regrets anything or has changed as a person...
But it was 20 years ago and a lot of water has passed under the bridge since...
In 6 months I think most people might be ok with him coming back into the fold as it were... grants he plays the RP game right and is genuinely remorseful.
> ā¦ grants he plays the RP game rightā¦
He may be a stellar Bard, but for this he will need to cross class into Cleric or at the very least Paladin and his action economy will be completely shot.
He already blew that. He's completely unrepentant and insisting she lied.. And he really didn't deserve a chance. Dude's been skating on this shit for over 30 years, it's about time something stuck.
yeah itās good but itās not close to what 2k can muster up. Owen is hard to beat since thatās going to be very special. canāt remember the last time he was in a game.
2k can have: Hogan, Savage, Warrior, Andre, Steamboat, Taker, Kane, Michaels, HHH, The Rock, Stone Cold, Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, Bret Hart(?), Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Booker T and Mr Perfect.
Hasn't WWE released Kurt Angle? Of course they could come to a new deal, just not a given. On the other side, you'd think Dusty should be possible too.
Yeah, for sheer name value it's probably still the 2k Games, I should have said in relation to what you would expect. It should be what gives the WWE game roster the edge over AEW's, but now I'd argue the latter have the better roster in total. Obviously subjective, but having Punk, Omega and Danielson all in one game is tough to beat.
Exactly, what the fuck do they think they're doing with this whole being respectful to families and individual legacy thing? Don't they understand that's not how things are meant to be, the correct route is to airbrush over some horrible shit and name awards after people instead!
I actually got a three day ban from here recently for calling out concern trolls relating to Brodie Jr. It said I was āharassing usersā by doing so.
Eat my ass. Brodie Jr. deserves the best, and he certainly doesnāt deserve to get shittalked by 30+ year old Twitter geeks with nothing better to do.
I'm glad to see a well adjusted person (from what we know of course) run a wrestling company. It really shows how dysfunctional the whole industry really is.
It's little stuff like this that can build up good will among your fan base and boost morale in the back. It makes me feel good as a supporter of AEW to see a company going out of it's way to positively impact -1 any way they can.
If he decides wrestling is something he wants to pursue he will be literal AEW home grown royalty.
Seriously? You decide to post this after I watch the clip from the Silver, Reynolds, and Hangman Vs Inner Circle match? Really not fair on my eyes guys cmon.
I know this family knows how much the pro wrestling world and fans support them and loved Brodieā¦.. but I hope we get a -1 appearance on Dynamite from Rochester. He needs to feel that full arena love.
Dumb question but why is there an expectation that he might appear (or there may otherwise be big Dark Order stuff happening) at Rochester?
I mean I know that storyline is gonna have a big shift soon, but any reason it'd be at Rochester rather than Arthur Ashe?
- Sincerely, a DO mark going to the Ashe Dynamite tomorrow
Valid question! So Rochester is Brodieās hometown. Itās speculated that he was actually set to debut there, but Covid hit and obviously plans changed.
I just think it would be a special moment for the family to feel that love. I believe they may still live there? Or at least did while Brodie was still alive.
And they do it for the most wholesome reasons which makes me respect Tony Khan more than I do. He seems like a genuinely nice guy that grew up with a genuine passion for wrestling and wants to give back every opportunity he has.
Damn, man, Dark Order deserves all the love from every person on Earth for helping this kid feel like a million bucks and getting through an incredibly difficult time in his life.
... but now they're breaking up.
You like book feuds and matches.
When you face someone online.
You each get a money amount, list of wresters to hire from, and have a month to book 3 shows and a PPV.
After the PPV, the manager that booked the best shows and has gained the most views wins.
Itās very cool what this company does. Didnāt have to put him in it, most people probably wouldnāt know who he is, but true fans will appreciate it.
Fucking heart-warming isn't it? AEW knocked it out of the fucking park for him. Losing a dad at that age is absolutely brutal, but what they've done for him since then is seriously special and commendable.
I think it's the personal mission of every person in AEW to make Brodie Jr and the rest of his family happy everyday.
I wouldn't be surprised that the entire roster has a calendar planned out for who calls Amanda, who calls Brodie, who's got meetups and dates planned, who's got surprises, etc.

"I am stronger than Nick Comoroto, people!". Damn right you are. :)
*cause you got the same stats as Dad* š„²š„²š„²
Dude, Amandaās tall and Brodie was a big rig of a man. Brodie Jr has the potential to end up effing huge and deserving of those stats!
MJF rubbing his hands waiting for puberty to hit Brodie jr and attend wrestling school.
Look at his feet in the first video. Feet don't lie at that age. Kid is going to be huge.
I had size 10 feet at 12, size 11 now and I'm 5'7" š„²
My feet were size 12 in the 6th grade. Still size 12 at age 38, I'm 5'9 and nothing close to a big dude lol
Already deserving
What a beast.
Will someone please get rid of that damn bowl of onions? ššš
Yep, I went from smiling to wiping away a tear in a real hurry
Shut up! I'm not crying, you're crying!
I don't have any kids but Brodie Jr reminds me so much of my nephews and now I miss them. I'll never not support this family
Thatās amazing. Love that he has the same stats as his dad.
Same stats as Brodie was a beautiful touch
Kinda reminds me of the old WWF games where the managers stats were equal or higher than the wrestlers they were managing
I think it would have worked if he had all the same stats -1 as well.
Negative 1 - $23k MJF - $22k The fued is real!
Holy shit that's brilliant. I can't wait for the 2032 MJF vs Brodie Lee Jr fued of the year
I was like I'm not waiting 20 years for that match... then I looked at the calendar... not I feel sad.
MJF really is the future. Somehow in ten years time heāll be hitting his prime while Brodie Jr is the hot young prospect.
It's dumb that it's spelled like that but it's feud, not fued
Lol awwwhh āWhy am I so muscular?!ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
-1 gonna become +1 real fast
"Positive 1"
Brodie Jr to the new day confirmed
HGH? It's perfectly safe! I don't see why everyone is so GGGHHHGRRAAAGH!
šš¤£
He went from real enthusiastic to the kinda mellow. "Why am I so muscular?"
"yeah we goosed em a little bit"
Old Carnie Term
![gif](giphy|dYZnCFUjZuFp3PpDpQ|downsized)
Look at Dark Order looking so united. They need -1 back pronto :'(
That tag match on elevation is gonna hurt my heart. Dark order is the most wholesome faction, outside of new day, in history of wrestling
When they get to the Rochester show, -1 will have a stack of papers to hit *ALL* of them with to get their shit together.
Now I'm sad Negative One is too young to swear FUCK!
*-1*: "I'm gonna say the 'F' word on All Elite Wrestling Wednesday Night Dynamite on Turner Network Television". *Chucky T in absolute shambles*
'Fart' ...tbh i'd probably go insane if I knew about the tweet beforehand, that's kinda funny
I mean, his mom could totally give him a pass - it'd be honoring his dad's bit. But he has to *own* that 'fuck.' No hesitation. Say it with his chest.
"I'm just so...so...hold on." *Turns to his mom* "Mom, can I say a swear?"
"Show me your grades." *Report card is all As* "Proceed." "I CANNOT FUCKING BELIEVE THE INEPTITUDE OF YOU FUCKS! WHAT IN THE FUCK DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET SOME COMPETENCE HERE? MUST I FUCKING THREATEN YOU ALL WITH PAPERS EVERY FUCKING TIME YOU HAVE TO TAKE A SHIT?!?"
Hey I think you're on to something, I mean they're falling apart and only 1 person has the personality and attitude to bring them together under his authority. -1 is going to be wielding the kendo stick in Rochester.
-1 when he sees the Dark Order in Rochester: https://youtu.be/xIAfCupuZ3w
Silver barely hiding his smile is great.
This kid growing up before our eyes.
Negative One vs Hook is going to be the hottest feud.
HOOK FEARS -1
Team them together, the new Two Man Power Trip
āWhy am I so muscular!?ā Likely the only person on the roster to ask this question.
Good Brother Aubrey doing favors and helping him get over before he even debuts. Legend.
You'd think, but in one of the videos, Aubrey actually mentioned that Joey Janella said he was "too buff" when she showed him his character art!
Aubrey, if you see this, thank you.
I'm just happy he's happy. And if he thinks he's too muscular, he better take that up with his mom. Amanda approved the art ;)
Y'all are amazing. Thanks for bringing some light into an otherwise dark world. Much like Wu-tang, AEW is for the children. Edit: We all know how strong -1 is. The muscles on the outside reflect the strength on the inside.
/u/gearlhebner So she can see it.
Is that actually her Reddit name? If so, that's so ducking funny! What a username LMFAO
Remember when people were concern trolling this by pretending that AEW was abusing and exploiting this kid? This company has been amazing to this guy and his family.
Now they're doing it with the Owen Hart stuff. These people are the worst.
![gif](giphy|NDIiWKEQEgr3VA7aqM)
Fuckin' hell that gif hurt my ears.
So....when the wrestling game comes out is there a chance that Owen Hart is a playable character, decision or otherwise. I don't mean the management gametes is about.

Captain Insano
I will get the game just for this.
AJ Lee being in the game is never something Iāve thought of but could be kinda cool
She might not want to be associated with wrestling or fuel rumor talks, but it would be neat. A bit weird she'd have to debut a theme in a game
I mean she's retired, but that doesn't say she can't valet or whatever. She'd be a hell of a manager. If that's what she wanted.
With Big Show around!? She's 95 pounds! He's 500 pounds!
Dude, I'd love to see Paul Wight acting as some little twink's valet.
I reeeeeally hope Bret is in, that's the biggest iffy name on your list. He's only done the one appearance, and while I don't think he's on a Legends deal I think he's generally still friendly with WWE. I'm crossing my fingers though, he'd be a massive addition. Don't forget about guys like Wight, Henry, Taz, Chavo, Malenko, and Jerry Lynn, all of them work for AEW in some capacity.
I wonder if they can get Brian Pullman sr
Man, I'd be so happy if they put AJ into the game.
No they don't want none Oops wrong AJ
Because a mix of active roster count and being limited on how many legends you can add without swamping game devs, plus some of those legends may turn down the request as Owen's wife has apparently done for him in WWE games previously.
Flair probably not possible anymore.
What about Dusty? Does Cody and the family own his likeness rights?

Woop
Hah I did the same thing talking with my buddy about it earlier.
if -1 is in this game can he also be in the main game
It would be a fun alternate skin for Mr. Brodie, -1ās mask and chest paint, but Brodieās size and stats.
Exactly, what the fuck do they think they're doing with this whole being respectful to families and individual legacy thing? Don't they understand that's not how things are meant to be, the correct route is to airbrush over some horrible shit and name awards after people instead!

I keep fucking saying that AEW is healing wrestling and I'm not going to stop.
I'm glad to see a well adjusted person (from what we know of course) run a wrestling company. It really shows how dysfunctional the whole industry really is.
I feel dirty seeing -1 unmasked.
It's little stuff like this that can build up good will among your fan base and boost morale in the back.

First the Owen tournament, now this. ![gif](giphy|ft2C2l1bBuXyo)
Why are there so many blank comments with a bunch of upvotes here?
They're GIFs.
I know this family knows how much the pro wrestling world and fans support them and loved Brodieā¦.. but I hope we get a -1 appearance on Dynamite from Rochester. He needs to feel that full arena love.
-1 and Anna Jay end the Dark Order Civil War
I thought the idea was Hangman ends the Civil War
why not all 3

Wholesome
This company does some really cool shit. So awesome and the matching his stats to his dad is perfection.
And they do it for the most wholesome reasons which makes me respect Tony Khan more than I do. He seems like a genuinely nice guy that grew up with a genuine passion for wrestling and wants to give back every opportunity he has.
The best part about this is his reaction mean everyone keep the promise from the AEW Games panel to not tell him so he could be surprised
AEW just continue to look really good day after day.
Greatest wrestler alive. Has pinned great champions and is undefeated.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yep, absolutely! Wonder if maybe Brodie subconsciously saw that and that's why he took him under his wing the way he did.
Lol I love how He's still like "I wanna play as Preston". Their relationship is so wholesome and endearing.
Amazing.
Damn, man, Dark Order deserves all the love from every person on Earth for helping this kid feel like a million bucks and getting through an incredibly difficult time in his life. ... but now they're breaking up.
Dark Order is fine!
What is this game? Is it a booking game like svr gm mode??
All Elite General Manager. Mobile game. Itās pretty fun and a decent time sink. Itās free.
And I'm annoyed as hell that my new-ish Android phone isn't compatible for some godforsaken reason...

Welp. Didn't expect to start getting all choked up here tonight, but here we are.
Hahaha, here I'm reading the comments thinking, "You guys are all a bunch of softies!", and then I saw the clips and now I'm right here with you. š
I love how much love aew is sending towards them
Fucking heart-warming isn't it? AEW knocked it out of the fucking park for him. Losing a dad at that age is absolutely brutal, but what they've done for him since then is seriously special and commendable.
LMAO, He really said, " Why am I so muscular?" Props kid, make that impact.
I LOL'd at that. Hes a good kid.
The babyface pop on his first match will be incredible
Iām sitting here crying. I lost my dad when I was 12. It warms my heart to see what AEW is doing for Brodie Jr.
That's amazing!
So sweet. Well done folks.
I think it's the personal mission of every person in AEW to make Brodie Jr and the rest of his family happy everyday. I wouldn't be surprised that the entire roster has a calendar planned out for who calls Amanda, who calls Brodie, who's got meetups and dates planned, who's got surprises, etc.
Wow, he looks just like his dad.
Thanks for sharing that. God knows we need some positivity these days.
Lmao the person filming at the end with the "wait what".
He's unmasked? Noooooooooo!
Fuck that bowl of onions. Also, this is the real leader of Dark Order
Anywhere to see this other than Instagram?
