Why would an enigmatic cult leader be a diluted version of Vince McMahon? Not only is this confusing for the casual audience who may not be in on the joke, but also it portrays AEW as a company filled with bitter ex-employees who have a bone to pick with their former boss.
Brodie Lee could have been a mysterious cult leader and taken a tip or two from Jake Roberts, who keeps things real, and tones down on the humor, ensuring that his client Lance Archer feels like a really big deal indeed. Because Brodie Lee's skits are essentially parodying what Vince McMahon does on a daily basis and popping the superstars in the back who've previously worked under him, you don't even take the Dark Order seriously, as a result, especially with the whole numerical system attached to them.
I loved the eventual version of the Exalted One who came out and power bombed his minions for not getting the job done but the skit did not work for me..
