1. This Is All House Of Black Gets?

Speaking of overbooking...it's House Of Black.

Malakai Black's crew has starred in some killer vignettes lately, and their recent return on Dynamite had fan hopes shooting for the moon. Sadly, everyone feels like doing a different kind of "shooting" by verbally shooting the sh*t out of this decision-making.

HOB attacked a bunch of lower-card fluff on Rampage. Come on, man. This cannot be the stable's grand comeback plan? What? Is kicking lumps out of Serpentico going to change their fortunes, or something? If anything, it was yet more proof that AEW's roster is far too bloated.

There's barely any room on these shows for workers to make an impact. Imagine The Bloodline over in WWE went away for a while then roared back by beating up Los Lotharios, Maximum Male Models, Drew Gulak and Akira Tozawa. That's what this was like!
