death riders perpetually having Many Things going on in their segments, exhibit 500: wheeler shirtless and kneeling, mox quite literally rubbing his hands together as he monologues, marina doting on danny like a concerned mom, and claudio just standing over them like a simultaneously menacing and happy guard dog
For those of you who may be newer to AEW and not understand why I'm going crazy over Lee getting involved with the Death Riders, here's a clip from the promo where Bryan Danielson pitches the Blackpool Combat Club (the precursor to the Death Riders) to Jon Moxley.
Note that 2/3 of the "young guys" he mentioned are now in the Death Riders.
(Transcription under the cut.)
Together... together, you and me, we could run this place. Whatever we wanted! If you wanted to be AEW World Champion, you could be AEW World Champion, with me. If we wanted to be AEW World Tag Team Champions, we could be AEW World Champions, together.
If we wanted to take some of these young guys, somebody like Wheeler Yuta—you see— he, he's coming out here with jokes. He's coming out here with Orange Cassidy, with Danhausen. What if we took somebody like Wheeler Yuta under our wings?
What if we took somebody like Daniel Garcia away from 2.0? And we mentored him? What if we took somebody like Lee Moriarty—instead of him being around Matt Sydal, and Dante Martin with this high-flying bullcrap—what if we took him under our wings, and we trained the future of professional wrestling, together?
everyone having the funniest reactions to will falling (claudio not even realizing, king of clumsiness jon moxley barely reacting because he would have and has done the same, wheeler taking great pleasure in will embarrassing himself, marina reassuring him like it happens to the best of us, and will and danny having a giggle about it)
