The colored logo is no more

Did Paragon change their theme music again?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

That mat stamp is a thing of beauty. For sure.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Reminds me of the Impact one from Bound For Glory 2023.

The pure black logo has a purity and cleanliness to it.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Speaking of logos, paragon logo wasn’t terrible, but it is a downgrade from undisputed kingdom.

A wild Smark appears

I was curious how they were going to present paragon for their first entrance since changing their stable name. But, I’m gonna be honest I’m still pretty upset that they just randomly split up the undisputed kingdom without even a story line reason and sent the kingdom packing back to ring of honor without so much as a how you do.

OGK just shows back up in ring of honor with their original (the) kingdom name and purple ring gear and logo, and absolutely no mention as to why they’re not with their buddies anymore.

Yeah that's kinda wack for sure. The whole story of trying to get Kyle back just seems kinda like a waste now since Matt and Mike are just now gone from it.

Exactly. I was waiting so long to get to that pay off probably longer than anyone and they’re only a whole group for the one night. As soon as Kyle joined the group OGK are never seen with them again and there’s absolutely no mention as to why. When they randomly decided to rebrand themselves as the paragon no mention was made as to why they were changing the name and no mention as to why Mike and Matt weren’t with them anymore and then when Mike and Matt finally show up after five months off TV for no reason, they’re just with their old name again and no mention as to why they’re not with paragon.

It’s so fucking whack.

I’ll be honest as much as I like Kyle I kind of wish he was back with the conglomeration because getting him back was not worth losing both members of the OGK. OGK as a unit is better than just getting Kyle O’Reilly. Especially because Roddy’s chemistry with Matt and Mike was amazing. I would rather Roddy and OGK stay together, Cole be a single wrestler and Kyle stay with a conglomeration then to lose the kingdom.

 

[DameDollar]

They are giving this match time. I love it

 

[Ricky Smarks]

At this point, I actually want the kingdom to leave AEW and go to TNA because I honestly don’t think Tony even likes them.

I do hope they end up explaining it but I kinda doubt it.

I know my ex was wanting it badly also and was happy when Kyle joined them. I should ask her how she feels about this.

The blue and plum color for the paragon’s ring gear is certainly an interesting choice. It’s definitely different from the black and silver we were getting as the undisputed kingdom. Wonder why they picked that color scheme considering the paragon logo appears to be gold.
