"Harley, tell me what's happening. Give me a full report." Tony ordered.

"Yeah, I'm still eating that candy. Do you want me to keep eating it?"

"How much have you had?"

"Two or three bowls."

"Can you still see straight?"

"Sort of."

"That means you're fine. Give me Jarvis. Jarvis, how are we?"

"It's totally fine, sir. I seem to do quite well for a stretch, and then at the end of the sentence, I say the wrong cranberry. And sir you were right. Once I factored in available AIM downlink facilities, I was able to pinpoint the Mandarin's broadcast signal."

"What are we talking? Far East, Europe, North Africa, Iran, Pakistan, Syria. Where is it?"

"Actually, sir, it's in Miami."

"Okay, kid, I'm gonna have to walk you through rebooting Jarvis' speech drive, but not right now. Harley, where is he really? Just look on the screen and tell me where it is."

"Um, it does say Miami, Florida."

"Okay, first things first, I need the armor. Where are we at with it?"

"Uh, it's not charging."

Tony hit the brakes hard and the car went skidding off the road into a dirt patch. He couldn't understand the panicky feeling that he was feeling.

"Actually, sir, it is charging, but the power source is questionable. It may not succeed in revitalizing the Mark 42"

"What's questionable about electricity? All right?" he asked angrily. "It's my suit and I can't- I'm not gonna- I don't wanna-" He was finding it hard to breathe. "Oh, God, not again." He threw the car door open, gasping.

"Tony? Are you having another attack? I didn't even mention New York."

"Right, and then you just it by name while denying having said it." Tony burst out.

"Okay um, uh-"

Tony had slid down, sitting on the gravel, wrapping his arms around himself. How was he supposed to do this without his suit?

'Take away the suit and what are you?'

"Just breathe. Really, just breathe. You're a mechanic, right?"

"Right."

"You said so."

"Yes I did."

"Why don't you just build something?" Harley asked.

Tony found himself able to breathe once again. His mind was clear, plans already forming in his head. He stood up. "Okay. Thanks kid."

🎃 :::::  🧡  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  🧡  ::::: 🎃

He found everything he needed in a hardware store.

Nearly two shopping carts full of the stuff.

And once he had the stuff, he took it back to the motel that he would be staying in that night and started to build.

By the next day, he was in Florida and infiltrating the large villa that the Mandarin was staying in. Tony took out five of the guards outside with various Christmas ornaments that blew up in their faces and a dart gun. Also, a yo-yo.

Inside, he was met with the scene of a trashed living room. Several broken glasses and ripped papers scattered on the floor. There was a blond girl wearing a green shirt lying on the table in the middle of the room. Tony wasn't quite sure if she was dead or not.

He did find an alive, drunk girl laying on the couch, complaining about the heat. Tony tazed the guy that was sitting in the chair and picked up the gun. She was to drunk to do anything more than lazily flirt with him and he slipped out towards the side.

He moved as quietly as he could, taking the glove off with his teeth to drop to the floor. He didn't need it anymore.

He kept the gun lifted, pointing it slowly in every direction as he checked behind him and continued to move forwards.

There were several monitors with the Mandarin on it, but Tony was more interested in the grand bed. He looked, and saw that there were lumps underneath the covers. He stealthily moved over, ripping the comforter back and to his surprise, there were only two girls under there.

He made sushing motions at them, and then heard the toilet flush in the other room. He hid and heard a man laugh as the door closed, "Well. I wouldn't go in there for 20 minutes." He laughed boisterously. "Now, which one of you is Vanessa?"

"That's me."

"Ah! Nessie. Did you know that fortune cookies aren't even Chinese?"

Tony gaped at the guy. This was a terrorist?

"There's some guy over here." One of the girls said sleepily.

"They're made by Americans based on a Japanese recipe."

"Hey!" Tony shouted, stepping out and pointing the gun at him.

"Bloody hell. Bloody hell." the man said, his hands jumping towards his head immediately in surrender.

"Don't. Move."

"I'm not moving. You want something? Take it. Although the guns are all fake because those wankers won't trust me with the real one."

"What?"

"Hey, do you fancy either of the birds?"

"No. I have a soulmate. Heard enough. You're not him. The Mandarin. The real guy. Where?" He shouted now. "WHERE'S THE MANDARIN? WHERE?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. He's here. He's here, but he's not here." he said, running away a little. Tony made sure to follow him very closely with his gun.

"He's here, but he's not here."

"What do you mean?"

"It's complicated." He let out a nervous chuckle. "Hey, it's complicated."

"It is." Tony agreed.

"It's complicated"

"Uncomplicate it. Ladies, out. Get out of the bed. Get in the bathroom."

He locked the girls in the bedroom and then shot in front of the man's head as he attempted to crawl out. One of the girls in the bathroom screamed. The man pretending to be the Mandarin sat where Tony had wanted him to sit in the first place.

"My name is Trevor. Trevor Slattery."

"What are you? What are you, a decoy? You're a double, right?"

"What, you mean like an understudy? No, absolutely not."

Tony raised the gun and he jumped. "Don't hurt the face! I'm an actor!"

"You got a minute to live. Fill it with words."

"It's just a role. 'The Mandarin', see, it's not real."

"Then how did you get here, Trevor?"

"Um, well, I um, had a little problem with, um, substances. And I ended up um doing things, no two ways about it, in the street, that a man shouldn't do."

"Next?" Tony asked tersely.

"Then, they approached me about the role, and they knew about the drugs-"

"What did they say? They'd get you off of them?"

"They said they'd give me more! They gave me things. They gave me this palace. They gave me plastic surgery. They gave me things." He started to snore.

"Did you just nod off?" Tony asked incredulously. He was tired, he was frustrated, he wanted to go home and lay in bed with Y/N, with Everleigh sleeping in between them so he could look down at his sleeping daughter in content while Y/N stared at him with loving eyes.

"Hey." He kicked the man.

"No, and a lovely speedboat. And the thing was, he needed someone to take credit for some accidental explosions." He mimed an explosion that was barely louder than a whisper.

"He?" Tony growled. "Killian?"

"Killian."

"He created you?"

"He created me."

"Custom-made terror threat." Tony said, stepping back from the man.

"Yes. Yes. His think tank thinked it up. The pathology of a serial killer." He messed around with something on the desk. "The manipulation of Western iconography. Ready for another lesson? Blah, blah, blah." He held out a soda.

"No." He waved it away.

"Of course, it was my performance that brought the Mandarin to life."

"Your performance? Where people died?"

"No, they didn't. Look around you. The costumes, green screen. Honestly, I wasn't on location for half this stuff. And when I was, it was movie magic, love."

"I'm sorry, but I got a best friend whose in a coma and he might not wake up. So you're gonna have to answer for that. You're still going down, pal. You under-" He was suddenly aware that Trevor was looking behind him.

He turned and barely registered that it was the same guy he thought he'd killed, when he was knocked out.

🎃 :::::  🧡  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  🧡  ::::: 🎃

When Tony came to, he was aware that he was standing. His arms felt heavy, like they had been strung up above his head for a long time. He finally blinked his eyes open with a groan and found that he was cable tied to what seemed like an old bed without a mattress.

Maya was in front of him, working at a computer on a higher platform. There were several different plants all around her, clearly still continuing her work.

When she heard that he was awake, she turned to face him and he could still see that she was carrying some wounds from the night his house was attacked. He wondered where Y/N was, if she had stayed with Maya. He wished he could ask, but he didn't want to draw attention to it.

"Just like old times." Maya smirked.

"Oh, yeah. With zip ties. It's a ball."

"It wasn't my idea." Maya sighed.

"Okay. So you took Killian's card."

"I took his money." She corrected.

"And here you are, thirteen years later, in a dungeon."

"No."

"Yeah." Tony said, looking around the place once more. It was definitely screaming 'dungeon'.

"No, you're in a dungeon. I'm free to go."

"Yeah?"

Maya stood up and talked as she walked, "A lots happened Tony. But I'm close. EXTREMIS is practically stabilized."

"I'm telling you it isn't! I'm on the street. People are going bang. They're painting the walls. Maya, you're kidding yourself."

"Then help me fix it." She held up the name tag that he had left in her hotel room when he had left after fucking her. She flipped it over on the back to show some sort of science formula.

"Did I do that?" he questioned.

"Yes." She said in a tone that clearly stated she was in disbelief that he didn't remember.

"I remember the night, not the morning." He said and then wished he hadn't. He only cared about Y/N now. All of the other nights were inconsequential. He remembered every minute with Y/N. The good and the bad. "Is this what you've been chasing around?"

"You don't remember?"

"I can't help you. You used to have a more psychology. You used to have ideals. You wanted to help people. Now look at you. I get to wake up every morning with someone who-" He paused and then said, "still has their soul." There was a moment of silence before he said, "Get me out of here. Come on."

"You know what my old man used to say to me?" A somewhat familiar voice said and he heard footsteps on the stairs as Maya walked away from him. Tony couldn't see Killian yet though. "One of his favorite of many sayings: The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese."

"You're not still pissed off about the Switzerland thing, are you?" Tony asked, even though he still couldn't see the man.

"How can I be pissed at you, Tony?" Killian said and Tony finally saw the man and his heart stopped beating. In one hand, the man was holding a briefcase, which he put down casually on the desk. In the other arm, he was cradling Everleigh.

"I'm here to thank you." He put Everleigh down on the table and walked towards Tony. Tony stopped watching his daughter only for a moment to keep focus on Killian. "You gave me the greatest gift that anybody's ever given me. Desperation. If you think back to Switzerland, you said you'd meet me on the rooftop, right? Well, for the first twenty minutes, I actually thought you'd show up. And the next hour. . . I- I considered taking that one-step shortcut to the lobby. If you know what I mean."

"Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out what happened to the first mouse." Tony replied.

"But as I looked out over that city, nobody knew I was there, nobody could see me, no one was even looking. I had a thought that would guide me for years to come. Anonymity, Tony. Thanks to you, it's been my mantra ever since, right?"

Maya gave a small smile and nodded hurridely.

"You simply rule from behind the scenes. Because the second you give evil a face, a Bin Laden, a Gaddafi, a Mandarin, you hand the people a target."

"You're something else." Tony said, eyes flickering back to his daughter.

"You have met him, I assume?" Killian asked, sitting down at the table, putting Everleigh in his lap and opening up the briefcase.

"Yes. Sr Laurence Oblivier."

"I know he's a little, over the top sometimes." Killian said, holding Everleigh in his hands. Tony wanted to rip out of his bonds and blast the man in the face. "It's not entirely my fault. He has a tendon- He's a stage actor. They say his Lear was the toast of Croydon, wherever that is. Anyway, the point is, ever since that big dude with the hammer fell out of the sky, subtlety kind've had its day."

"What's next for you in your world?" Tony asked.

"Well, I wanted to repay you the selfsame gift that you so graciously imparted to me."

He rolled three balls across the floor and a hologram of Y/N, trapped in one of the same roller coaster like contraptions he had seen in the file videos came up.

"Desperation."

Tony could feel blood trickling down his face at his open cut.

"Now this is live. I'm not sure if you can tell, but at this moment, the body is trying to decide whether to accept EXTREMIS or just give up."

Tony watched the tears streaming down Y/N's face. He couldn't tell if her face was red from pain, or because of the fire that was coursing through her veins. She was naked from the waist up, except for a small tube top across her chest. She looked at though she was in unmentionable pain.

"And if it gives up," Tony jerked in his bonds. He had to save her. "I have to say, the detonation is quite spectacular." Tony wanted to scream. "But until that point, it's really just a lot of pain." Killian suddenly stood up, putting Everleigh down once more. "We haven't even talked salary yet." He caught Tony around the throat tightly. "What kind of perk package are you thinking of?"

"Let him go." Maya's voice rang out behind Killian.

"Hold on, hold on." Killian breathed softly to Tony, powering down so that the orange left his eyes.

"Maya-"

"I said let him go." Maya said and for some reason Tony could fathom, she had a pin pointed to her neck.

"What are you doing?"

"1200 CCs. A dose half this size, I'm dead."

Killian faced Tony and said, "It's times like this my temper is tested somewhat. Maya, give me the injector."

"If I die, Killian, what happens to your soldiers? What happens to your products?"

"We're not doing this, okay?"

"What happens to you? What happens if you go too hot?"

Killian turned to face Tony, and then suddenly a shot rang out. Tony almost flinched, averting his eyes. Unfortunately, there were only horrible places to look. Everleigh had just started crying from the loud noise that scared her. Y/N's face was contorted in pain, her entire body seizing against the contrapation she was held in. And then there was Killian's ugly ass face.

"The good news is, a high-level positions has just been vacated."

Maya's body hit the ground with dead finality.

"You are a maniac."

"No, I'm a visionary. But I do own a maniac. And he takes the stage tonight." Killian scooped up Everleigh and walked away.

🎃 :::::  🧡  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  🧡  ::::: 🎃

Rhodey was annoyed as the people attempted to saw the parts off of Tony's suit. Sure, the army had painted it, but Tony had built it.

Suddenly, someone came walking around the corner and Rhodey didn't recognize the man. He did, however, recognize the little girl in his arms and he felt a sense of foreboding come over him. Where was Y/N?

"Afternoon Colonel." The man greeted him, putting Tony's daughter into the arms of one of the other people there. "Step aside."

"Oh!" Rhodey groaned as warning lights indicated that the suit was getting too hot.

"We'll get you out of there. Don't worry."

Rhodey was now fully aware of what Tony had been talking about with glowing orange chicks.

"You'll damage the armor." The man who was now holding Everleigh said.

"Yes, I will. But you can fix it, right? I'm gonna take the chinook to base camp. And I want Y/N with me."

"She's still in Phase Two."

"You're not going deaf, are you?"

Rhodey gritted his teeth, unsure of whether or not he was going to be able to hold out much longer. But it felt like he had lost, as he watched the man walk away with his goddaughter.

And so the weed of sorrow springs at the four cross ways

A/N : @hogans-heroes posted this about someone finding Bucky when he's grieving Buck in a fort after the latter went down over Bremen and @middlingmay said what if Harding found him and discovered how he felt about Buck and now has to make a decision regarding Bucky and the Münster mission. They both gave me permission to give it a go, so thank you to them both ! 💕 and sorry it took much longer than expected 😅 I hope you'll like this angsty piece of Chick trying to keep his boys together after Bremen :) (with a bit of Clegan of course)

Title is from Sinner's Rue, a poem by A. E. Housman (whose poetry book was in Gale's footlocker)

Word count : 6536

Mota Masterlist

Summary : Neil and his wife never had children, and yet, he realizes as he watches Bucky’s bottom lip tremble and feels the lump in his throat growing in answer, he’s already familiar with the grief of a father.

Still reeling from losing Buck, Chick tries his hardest to keep his boys together, especially Bucky. But an overheard confession that could get the other man sent home with a blue ticket forces him to make a decision that could change the outcome of the Münster mission and drastically change Buck and Bucky's fate.

--

This is way out of his comfort zone. He may have hugged his boys briefly after a particularly good game at West Point, but when was the last time he hugged someone like that? Not out of bursts of joy and pride but to offer warmth and comfort? He tries to think of something but he comes up blank. Perhaps when he hugged his mother after a particularly long stay away from home but even then, he’s sure the touch hadn’t lingered for long. He’s certainly never hugged another man like that. Yet, though he wrinkles his nose slightly at the sensation of his shirt getting damp as Bucky sniffles in his chest, he doesn’t pull away. He can only hope Bucky finds the tiniest bit of comfort, but he also cannot deny that it feels good. His own loss doesn’t compare in the slightest to Bucky’s but there’s something comforting about the warm weight in his arms, the rise and fall of his back against Chick’s arm, the breath he can feel fanning over his shirt, no matter how shaky. It makes him feel as though, for once, he can protect one of his boys, his trust worth more than every medal ever pinned to his chest.

He'd come fully expecting to see Bucky on a warpath, energy focused on revenge. That was why he’d stayed for a bit in his own jeep after stopping next to Bucky’s haphazardly parked one. Up in the cockpit, hazy from condensation, he’d seen the orange glow of a cigarette being pulled every few seconds and a dark silhouette tipping his head back every so often in a movement familiar enough for Chick to know a flask was involved, even if he couldn’t see it. Now, the flask lies on the floor, a few drops of alcohol around its neck. Given the smell emitting from Bucky, there’s no doubt it was already empty when it fell, but the wet spot on Bucky’s jacket gives him hope the other hadn’t actually drank his entire flask in just a couple of hours. But he had expected Bucky to be drunk. Drunk and angry, a reminiscence of Lt Dye’s celebration night, perhaps, but Chick could face anger and drunken soldiers. He’d expected it. And yet.

The relentless negativity about AEW in certain spaces on the Internet is so bizarre.

I've been watching wrestling for a very long time, and I have done a lot of complaining about it in that time. However, people usually complain loudest with the show is actually bad. The negativity around AEW is completely divorced from the actual product, which is somewhere between pretty-good-to-great.

Like, I need you to understand, people complained about WCW because it got really bad. It really started with them retreading a tired nWo storyline to continue to feature Hulk Hogan (after ending their megastar Bill Goldberg's epic winning streak) but by the end they were giving guys like Mike Awesome a "Fat Chick Thriller" gimmick and making Sheriff Dewey from the Scream movies their world champion.

From about 2006 to, like, last year, WWE just beat their tropes into the ground. Every women's and midcard title feud was "X beats champion in nontitle match." Storylines frequently went nowhere. Plot points would get completely dropped as Vince was insisting on changing plans right up until the shows aired. People would get promo videos but then never debut. Vince bought up your favorite indie wrestlers but never used them, collecting toys so that no one else could play with them. Roman Reigns is the top guy in wrestling now, but it took five absolutely, grueling, miserable years to get there as they sent this poor man out there to do twenty-minute promos before he was ready and they were death. There were bright spots, but a lot of it was not fun to watch.

AEW, however, has been loads of fun! Even the maligned Devil storyline with MJF was mostly bad due to circumstance (CM Punk's firing and Cole/MJF's injuries totally derailed whatever plans they had). But I watch the shows. I have fun. People who watch the shows are excited about things. You go to shows live, and the crowd loudly cheers the faces and boos the heels. No one is hijacking the show with protests like crowds did frequently during mid-2010s WWE shows. Fans really seem to be largely satisfied.

And people who actually watch the shows have very different criticisms than what gets blasted in the comments every time AEW posts something on a Meta platform.

I want to be clear that criticism is fine. You are allowed to be a fan or a critic or even decide AEW isn't for you and talk about why it is bad. However, the relentless, constant barrage of negativity online is just echoingly hollow. It doesn't seem tied to what AEW is actually doing at all, like they are criticisms emerging from echo chambers of people who just decided to be grumps for some reason because they heard some asshole on a podcast maybe. I know we are in a "vibes-based economy" now, so the vague shifting feelings of what people perceive the perception to be matters more than reality for some reason. And I know some of the negativity generates clicks and views, but I'm not sure what you get out of it if you aren't making a buck.

It's all negativity that just sounds so very, very out of touch.

Chick looked between the two men with a small smile, an air of pride obvious in the way he straightened his posture with a small nod. "I'm counting on you two. Now go on, get outta here. I've got paperwork to settle and I'm sure you've got somewhere important to be, shit to get ready."

He eyed Bucky up and down, head to toe, taking in the still sweat slick hair and sand and dirt that was covering one side of him like an overgrown half-sugared donut, smile feigning innocence.

"And a shower." He tacked on as a last minute thought.

Saturday 26th October 2024

Slow to rise this morning but a very satisfying breakfast. Less frenzied I'd say with a systematic approach to building an Eggs Benedict without the hollandaise sauce. (There wasn't any) A bit more restrained was the intention. Trouble was, you get carried away and by the time the hash browns, mushrooms and tomatoes are added it didn't look much less indulgent than yesterday. But there were no sausages!

Nicely prepared for a day out in the sunshine we set off for the Anbangbang Rock paintings in Nourlangie. We don't make these names up. These caves were the traditional homes of the Warramal clan for perhaps 20,000 years, certainly 6000 years. So it's possible in that time the cave paintings may have changed a bit? I mean fashions do change don't they. Apparently a one Nayambolmi, also known as Barramundi Charlie, repainted some of them in the 1960s. The main character in the Anbangbang collection is of Namondjok, who somewhat disgraced himself, braking traditional law by committing incest with one of his clan sisters. Taking photos of him is prohibited as ill fortune will fall upon anyone who does so. Well I'll find out soon enough if that's true.

The rock formations that tower high above and almost engulf you are huge sea cliffs from 140 million years ago when with higher sea levels they formed a red sandstone and granite wall. Much later these very rocks were starring in Crocodile Dundee Two. At every twist and turn in the path we followed up their steep slopes we were imagining parts of the film; where the baddies were tied up, where Walt was tracking, where Dundee (Paul Hogan) would have stood to make his bush telegraph call and where he was shot and so on. The views across the outback from the top were absolutely stunning and for as far as the eye could imagine.

By now we were topping 41 degrees and the roadway was beginning to shimmer as we clambered back up and into the refreshingly chilled Ford Ranger. A quick visit to the Anbangbang Billabong found it very dry, silently waiting for the rains which are just a few weeks away to come. No crocodiles visible despite the warning sign and I don't blame for seeking alternative wet options.. We did spot an Emu braving the heat with her chicks in the bush by the roadside. Otherwise very little wildlife visible in this heat.

Back to the lodge and poolside for an interlude before Happy Hour!!! Two pints of Pale Ale.

Tonight's meal was from the lodge restaurant; Kangaroo Burger and chips. What better tribute could we possibly make to our hosts.

ps Skippy was a bit tough and didn't really taste much like chicken.

Hello! I'm @rebel-author-chick and you are on my bingo OC Creator Bingo card. Your OCs look so cool, I can't wait to learn more about them!

1. How close is William to Pepper and Happy? What about Peter?

2. What does Melissa think of Kirk? Does she take after her dad in personality?

3. Has The Soldier ever come across The Doctor? What do they think of each other?

4. Out of her parents who does Lana take after more?

5. Out of all your OCs, who is your favorite to write for? Which is the hardest to write for?

I know this is LONG passed Bingo, looong overdue, and I apologise for that. However, I still want to give your ask the love and attention it deserves, so here goes me answering all your lovely questions. :)

—

Happy Hogan is close to both the Stark-Potts kids due to the nature of his relationship with their parents, Pepper and Tony. I would say he has more inside jokes with Morgan who spends a little more time with him, but he loves William just as much. Will, being an introverted ADHDer, chooses to spend most of his time hyperfocused on his projects as he prefers the stimulation he receives from them as opposed to other people. He is also close to Pepper what with her being his mom and all. She makes sure to keep a closer eye on her son to make sure he doesn't forget TOO much of life while holed up with his projects. As Will grows closer towards adulthood, Pepper has had to prod him into the "real" world more and more frequently.

Melissa likes Kirk. For the longest while, she and him had a solid platonic relationship, and she held strongly to the word platonic as that's where she both felt they were best and also where she felt most comfortable with men in general (regarding her ambitions and her personal life matters she was mindful of at the time). Around the end of Into Darkness, however, she and him do get together romantically.

The Soldier has come across the Doctor before and they are surprisingly neutral looking on their fellow kin. Of course, they are glad that they aren't the only Timelord anymore, but they don't feel much of a connection between their mentality/outlooks on the universe's happenings, and they don't judge the difference either. Unlike The Doctor, who does passively wrinkle his nose at The Soldier's tendency to jump in with a fight instinct instead of a figure it out one. When they do have to work together, however, they can flow rather well. There is a string of respect tying between them, and if one needed help, the other would assist.

Lana takes after her mother more in personality. She exhibits Nora's form of practicality and cunning over Ray's, as in she holds herself with an air of individualism and is first and foremost a self-possessed, self-aware person. While of course she cares for other people, Lana thinks of her own needs and wants before that of others.

I have two favourites and can't narrow it down any further. My favourites are Stephen Knope-Wyatt and Jared Williamson. The hardest muse to write for is probably Shiloh, my son of Tyche from the Percy Jackson fandom. He's probably the hardest because I don't really know what kind of story he's best suited for and can't really think up a plot (still) for him.

Thank you for the ask, @rebel-author-chick! Hope you had a great time during Bingo while it was still happening, and sorry again for answering your questions super late.

Anthony's Stupid Daily Blog (819): Thu 13th Jun 2024

After I fed Lucy her breakfast I cut her dentistry treats really small so they were easier to east and she’d wolfed them down by the time I’d finished drinking my glass of water. Evidentially I must have cut them into a fine powder that she just snorted it like cocaine. 

Tuned into last nights Dynamite which opened with a great match between Jack Perry and Dustin Rhodes. Rhodes still has so much to give and can effortlessly get the crowd to rally behind him. I think they should do a Darby/Sting with Keith Lee/Dustin with Dustin being the mentor / occasional tag partner to help give Keith the rub. Rush looked dominant in his match but he shouldn't be doing jobber squashes. Also he's the leader of La Faccion Ingobernables and we never see them with him. Why wouldn't he always have his backup with him? Hollywood Hogan would always come out with the nWo as backup. I’m really digging this Joe / Hook pairing. I think they drove the Hook singles squash matches into the ground. I would love to see Joe / Hook / Shibata as a trio. Maybe have them take the trios titles off the Bang Bang Gang. Mercedes Mone had an enjoyable match against Steph De Lauder’s CMLL tag team partner Zeuxis. So in order to get a shot at The Bucks' tag titles or Okada's Continental title you have to beat them in Eliminator matches but Zeuxis gets a TBS title shot against Mercedes just because. Sexist much? Finally I think Private Party need a hot chick with them (Keira Hogan would be ideal). I know their name implies that they are party animals but what kind of party has no girls? They might as well call themselves Sausage Fest
