Is it even possible to save this angle anymore?

It’s obvious who the devil is. It’s an obvious letdown. Any chance they can salvage this shit and have someone else be the devil? If so who? How?

I'm all for the Devil's Kingdom. It's a really esoteric Grateful Dead reference and the Dead are the best band ever due to not resorting to Devil music to pave their way.

they have to blow the doors open and go absolutely ridiculous with the angle. have it be mjf's shoot dad hiring ex-idf soldiers to reel him back into being a proper amoral fag instead of just being a fag. do a segment where they're going to put adam cole through a kabbalistic ritual sacrifice. charls carroll becomes the devil's advocate. they would immediately make the leap from being the disappointment of wrestling to becoming the best thing on tv.

Yeah, I know it's a front for Owsley to move LSD to America's Youth in a mass psychedelic human experiment but I mean they played mostly major key scales with emphasis on the 3 and the 7 which is God's music. The antithesis is best displayed by Metallica which would be perverted Devil's music. It's still really good to man but it isn't pleasing to God.

Kek why do smarks cry so much over the term hotshot? Tony blew his load like he always does and it probably was intended to be a ratings grab that failed. Sorry if that doesn't fit the definition as well as your autistic mind needs it to.

Sadly the best solution is the one that's going to get the biggest negative knee jerk reaction.
Tony Khan is mad at MJF for standing him up for a huge contract, and now resents the fans for supporting him. Tony is the devil and proceeds to put together a group of heels, mercenaries and bounty hunters to take down MJF. Book MJF like Cena, to over come the odds every time. It's perfect.

In other words AEW could never do something this good
