Like what was that Brandi stable that was so panned at the beginning lol i wasn't even watching AEW much then so I didn't see it but all I remember is people talking about how shitty it was for awhile and it's like it never happened to me but it's this black stain on AEW apparently
I vaguely remember hearing about this. If I recall correctly, it didn’t last too long, right?

Then I came around to AEW and he was like "Alright give the people Deth hates the belts b/c lol"

Also, the Brandi stable was called The Nightmare Collective, I think.

I believe this was the case. It was a dumb stipulation to put in place so early

Tho while we're on that stip, the idea someone had of him challenging for the title on a Jericho cruise episode years down the line bc the stip doesn't count on international waters was something I really wanted to happen :lol
