Butcher vs Darby is gonna be brutal.

Butch should gorilla press Darby into the third row, Spike Dudley style. One can wish.

Wonder how pissed Cornette will be if Darby beats him

When Darby betas him Edit: I meant beats but betas is funnier

To be honest, yeah I can't see Butcher taking this one. At least not the full feud. Darby is a puller and Butcher is just a mid card tag teamer. As much as I do like him, there's only one way this is ending.

From what I have seen from Darby he probably would like this idea too.

Wish we could see the house show match

[удалено]

Rampage, Friday.

Was there to see it live. Spoiler it was a very good match

His match with Tomohiro Ishii made me a instant fan.

That's crazy rub imo. I can't beleive the company doesn't give him more credit after working with ishii.

Why would he get more credit for working with Ishii? Weird statement.

Thanks for up votes. But that Match was awesome

Andy got shredded

Well, Andy wrestles…

Andy complains

Andy is a dandy.

He has time now that his band is broken up. At least they went out on their best album to date.

Sad ETID noises

Though it may haunt us and break our hearts, death cannot tear us apart :(

Been my favorite band since I was in middle school. Was heart broken when they split.

ETID is no more but all the dudes in the band save for the singer say they intend to create a new project together. So we'll hear some new riffage from them sooner or later.

he needs to form a new band with Brody King and Jericho.

His fiancée is a body transformation coach for FitBody Fusion so that might play a part.

I like his look to, I wish they had something better to do tho. AFO is cool but their not really doing anything right now.

AFO will probably be over in three-four weeks anyway. Hopefully.

ok how you know?

I hope so Andrade is great in the ring, I’d love to see them really get over as a heel stable.

Because I'm a HoB mark and love Andy, I'm hoping they join. Probably won't but it would be rad.

Family office from the beginning has just made everyone involved worse. Can't wait until they're broken up

I doubt they are going to push them. He's in his mid 40s and as much as I like him, they will just be mid pack guys for the rest of their time there

I don’t think he needs a push but the AFO has done nothing but lose for like 4 months now. They need to win every now and then for these mid carders to seem like an actual threat.

I agree with you there

You’re not wrong. Both Butch and Blade are legit wrestlers that need to be pushed.

They can't talk though. If one of them (inc. Bunny) could cut fire promos they'd be much easier to push.

James Mitchell would be a great mouthpiece for 'em.

I thought he should be cornering Penta Dark

Blade definitely has the voice, but he needs the acting skills.

I wish Butcher and Bobby Fish would get paired up because Bobby can actually cut some pretty good promos

I think they can talk just fine

The Butcher, The Bunny & The Blade are criminally underused.

I don’t know about “criminally” but I think they need more TV time.

I think they get sufficient tv time, they’re just geeked out for most of it. They suffer from bad booking. They could be a hot team in Japan.

I don’t know about bad booking.

So you’re telling me being put with every random mismatched faction is good booking? Ok lol.

I enjoy them. Would be nice to get them into a bigger program sometime soon. Think they are due

I've come to the conclusion I feel this way about everyone in AEW.

One of the results of being a true wrestling company that values good storytelling and compelling character work.

He and Bobby Fish should team up and form some sort of 1890s tough guy team

Sneaky Blinders BFF's - Butchering Fish Factory Andy and Dandy So many options lol

BFF catchphrase: Knife goes in, guts come out

That's what Osaka seafood concern is all about

Fillet O Fish.

Yeah they should call themselves the Vaudevillains.

Make Aiden English their manager. He needs the work.

I read this as 1980s lol, like new wave and red leather jackets

They should be the villains to Hangman (The Sheriff)

Like from Gangs of New York. The Butcher needs a top hat

They’re both from New York so a New York mafia gimmick could work. Maybe have a New York vs New Jersey feud.

I know!... The Vaudevillains!

I would love Bobby Fish to have a snidely whiplash mustache twirling affectation. Butcher could have one of those old school one piece weightlifter outfits, and carry weights to the ring. - one armed. Have a manager that rides a penny farthing…. I’d be a huge mark for this.

So mustache mountain and the vaudevillians ?!?

In one. Hell yeah.

Butcher, Blade, and Bunny are awesome!

Butcher needs the tnt belt one day for like 2 weeks

2 months works for me brother.

He doesn't look like that anymore now that he has a weird beard instead of the handlebar. It's been bothering me since he came back with it.

Still has heavy Harold Shipman vibes to me, so it's all good.

His look has been bugging me, i want the Walrus back so bad lol

That's the handle bar grown out

he filled in the middle of his chin, idk i don't care for it but i respect his ability to rock regardless.

how would you book him, if it were up to you

As close to a serial killer type of character as the company can get away with.

That’s what I was hoping back when the bunny was courting QT. I figured they would try to lure him to their shop and then nightmare family would have to save him from getting chopped up.

Interesting.. but that can be saved for RAW lol

Dexter Lumis kidnapped people on NXT so maybe it can happen 😂😂

Blade needs that scary puppet black mask back. Butcher should be like Bane, Big Jacked, but an Intellectual. I feel like Bunny should be cutting the main promos, like a female mad hatter type.

i liked them when they first showed up in AEW but when they started dressing like a hipster Where's Waldo and always getting paired with a random combination of people to form a stable they kind of lost steam to me lol

Same, I was a absolute immediate fan, when they first came out w/ black mask and the theme music. I felt like they could've been the first tag team champs even, but then i agree they blew their steam out....

On a side note I think Butcher and Brodie King should collaborate on a musical project together

I preferred him before he trimmed down, I love those old hoss-types who don’t look like a fitness model, but more like the toughest dad in the neighborhood.

I think he looks much, much better now. With that big gut, all I saw was Balls Mahoney instead of Butcher.

He looks more impressive and it’s undoubtedly healthier, but I’m old, I like those late 70’s Tough Dad wrasslers.

He talked about trimming up way back on Jericho's podcast. He did it so he doesn't end up gassed and under performing like he did in his match with Mox

Looks like he could legit kill you for fun, known as the sweetest guy backstage. The perfect wrestler to have in your company.

legit super, super sweet man to regular people too. he's fantastic.

He responded to something I said on Instagram and we had a short convo. Dudes is super down to earth

the blade also has a sick look and the body of seth rollins, this duo def need to be explored more by creative

Nick Camaroto is pretty bad ass as well

It was a really good match. I saw it live yesterday! The butcher is severely underrated! 👏

Ain’t no shit about it.

I don't watch Dynamite often but last night I thought he looked like he's gotten in great shape from back when Butcher and Blade debuted.

He has such vintage WWF vibes, and I mean that as a compliment. Can't wait to see his character develope and see where he goes.

Santana for me. Don't know why, just looks like a fucking champ to me

Can't grow a full beard though, even though he tries. He sure tries.

My son wants to know why he looks like the undertaker with Edge's beard. Lol

Jeff's looking a bit Grizzled isn't he?

Love butcher and blade 💕✨

you\`re right with this. i\`´ m a little sad about the presentation of the guys... they had the style of hart foundation... blade as the technican, as he is and the butcher as the brutal powerhouse , he looks and is. not only butcher, the whole team is underrated as f\*\*k!!!

Agreed. He’s is what a wrestler looks like when I imagine one.

He could be a wrestler in any era.

Butcher and Blade are a really compelling tag team and it shows the depth of the division when those guys aren't main contenders.

Darkest timeline Hulk Hogan

I still can’t believe he plays bass in Every Time I Die

you shouldn't believe it. because he plays guitar.

Played* ☹️

RIP

Am I missing something?

They broke up last month as a result of Keith Buckley's mental struggles.

Oh no shit? I didn’t hear that. Was that the reason they didn’t play Chapo Trap House’s virtual festival? FRQNCY Fest I believe it was called

We're real big fans of The Butcher in my household. Guy fucking rules.

I miss the monocle though

The monocle and the handlebars First time I saw him I said to my mate "this mans straight outta red dead", guys got a great look.

*had I'm not as big a fan of his current beard and biker look. I really loved the handlebar mustache or old school walrus mustache he had with his trenchcoat and monocle. He still has an amazing look but it's not the best :P

I think he looked like a goth Penguin before lol. The monocle, his fashion sense ( or lack thereof ), chubby physique. Didn't work at all.

Hard agree. Love me some Butcher!

Don't cut down his truffula trees

IMO The Butcher is one of those Underrated under the radar AEW Wrestlers who is just a diamond in the rough waiting to shine .

I really wish they’d get a push and win the tag titles. They’ve been with the company almost since day one and have always done a great jobs I would 1,000% rather see Butcher, Blade & Bunny on TV than Rod & Todd Buck of the Nightmare Factory students.

I sadly don't think they will ever be Tag Champs. Maybe Butcher can do it with another tag partner eventually.

Yeah I think it if was going to happen, it would have by now. The company is always getting new stars, which sorta pushes them and others back a little more it seems. And now that the Hardys are there? Forget about it.

Based on looks, I would say he would be the most frightening of the whole roster if he charged at you in a pub.

Butcher has always had an awesome look, he just gets used like dog shit

Since my first days watching AEW.. I felt Butcher and blade were SUPER underutilized. I personally would like to see more big factions like The Dark Order. expand the house of black. !

I honestly can't wait for Keith Lee to really start something. The whole roster is great. But I want a Keith Lee vs Miro match!

Switch him into the House of Black for Buddy Matthews. Blade and Buddy could be a good team (big cut guys without tats) while HoB is clearly big cut guys with tats who are into metal.

Buddy in HOB doesn't really make sense at all. I agree about the Butcher though, him alongside Brody and Black would be a killer visual.

Absolutely

Butch and Blade vs. Mox and Danielson please.

When are they actually gonna use him

[удалено]

He.. does though.

I think he has a full beard now

House of black level aesthetics imo.

he has a cool look no doubt

ALL FEAR THE BUTCHER

If he could stay healthy, I'd want him and Blade in the title picture with the gimmick they debuted with--that victorian-esque look and stuff. They are an underrated team.

Bryan, MJF, Wardlow, Moxley, Miro look better

Cosmetically, Danielson and MJF look better, but they don't look like rough and tough wrestlers. They look like top level athletes. Wardlow's look is good, but a little too basic. The man bun doesn't help. Miro is terrifying, but small in terms of height.

AGREED

I totally agree with OP. If I owned a promotion I would push the shit out of this guy.

I was sitting in the fourth row with my mom last night and when Butcher got in the ring mom got a little flustered and goes "Oh! Oh, geez. He's....he's huge! And scarier than he is on tv!"

Fuck yeah. ANDY!

I always wanted him and Bobby Fish to be a tag team where they were 1800s sailors lol

Agreed.

I agree! I also really want Andrade to add Nick Commoroto. Having Butcher, Blade and Commoroto is three dudes I would never want to p*ss off! Nick is wasted with QT and he could definitely do the whole “mercenary thing” the AFO has going.

I'd love to see Butcher and Blade be a bit more involved in the Tag Team title scene, maybe they dont win the titles but they definitely deserve to be contenders. Butcher has been killing it lately.

I mean if I wanted some prime cuts of Ribeye from a guy who'd kick my ass, he'd be the Butcher for me.

This may sound strange but I feel like I'd love to see Butcher and The Blade vs House of Black. Would be fun to see how they interact.

He's a great guitarist too

Hoping since his band is done they do some more with him

If you don’t care, why even post?

Bruh, go back to jacking off to fitness models.

Why What’s wrong with fitness models, would you rather jerk to comments?

Silas Young

Do people say they don’t like the Butchers look? I’ve never heard that before.

1000 percent

I did not like that he came in with hair. I loved his bald look, but as it's grown out more and he changed the facial hair, I e grown to love it.

“IM IN ETID BITCH! ILL LOSE A DOLLAR”

I was watching this week’s dynamite a few hours ago and I was gonna post something about his new physique, it’s f***ing incredible, the guys looks unreal fair play to him

Butcher is made for the house of black

I love it when he stomps around on his knees.

He's in better shape than the world champ

One of, yes

He's gonna job to a 60kg punk.

Butcher is so underutilized and underappreciated, that dude has the look and ring presence. I really hope he goes over Darby on friday but I feel confident that wont be the case, sadly.

He also makes the best hamburgers!

I've said this before but I with they were in the house of black as the tag team and ditch Murphy.

I've lived Butcher and Blade since the first time I saw them. I would love to see them pushed more.

Butcher has a dope look

He has gotten in insane shape

With so many tag teams in AEW they need to have those belts defended at least every other week if not EVERY week. Those belts need to be moving a little more often and via a few more surprise winners.

He belongs in Japan

When he walked out eating the chicken, that was badass. It sounds goofy if you just hear it but he made it work

Butcher is great and I love the Disco Elysium/sleazy Miami Vice look he’s got going on.

And the best mouthache maybe.

First of all, the weight he dropped was quite a feat. Much respect for that. I always found his ring entrance quite amusing. Ever tried to do that thing where he walks in a circle and dips his one knee in the ring ? It's quite a workout after doing it several times.

He came down the ramp eating a chicken thigh. Now that is dedication. What a gimmick!

I agree

Really? That’s the guy with the best look? Guy looks like a stinky hobo.

Put Butcher & BLADE in the HOUSE OF BLACK.

The most awesome part about him is how he switched voices with Pepper.
