This week on Being The Elite —

The cold open —

  • A very somber Matt and Nick Jackson addressed the fans. They said that they are going to get through this tough time, things will change, they’re not sure what they’re going to do about… Matt’s Dior shoes and Nick’s luggage being lost forever.
  • Brandon Cutler asked them if this was about Cody Rhodes, and Matt asked “What happened to Cody?”

  • Christopher Daniels gave Michael Nakazawa a form to renew his visa as HOOK looked on.
  • The Bucks confronted Matt Hardy about his “erratic behavior” and demanded that he take a drug test to spoof Jeff Hardy’s WWE situation. Matt and Nick collected a sample from Hardy without his knowledge.

Dark Order —

  • A trial was held with Jeff Jones serving as judge. Mark Sterling was suing the group for John Silver giving Sterling a brainbuster. Dark Order hired HOOK As their lawyer. Jones dismissed the case.
  • Silver and Alex Reynolds were planning for Adam Cole’s arrival in their hotel room. Cole entered with Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly. Silver and O’Reilly squared off with their air bass and air guitar. Reynolds started playing air flute. Fish played air drums. Cole ordered Silver and Reynolds out of the room.

This week on Being The Elite —

The cold open —

  • Nick Jackson and Brandon Cutler schemed a way to get back at Christopher Daniels, hatching a plan to cold spray him in his good eye. Daniels cut them off and continued his Undertaker gimmick.

The Elite —

  • The Bucks and Cutler arrived in Atlantic City with Rick Knox following a long travel day. They signed for eBay sellers at the airport, then again at their hotel.
  • The Bucks got free swag from Foot Locker.
  • Cutler Cam showed footage from The Young Bucks vs. Roppongi Vice match from Rampage, as well as Jay White’s Rampage appearance.
  • Matt won nearly $2200 while playing slots in Atlantic City. Cary Silkin had a brief cameo.

Dark Order —

  • John Silver and Alex Reynolds gave Adam Cole a Valentine’s Day card. Cole was mostly receptive to it, and also emailed Silver his pants back after last week’s episode. This was not as strong as the comedy with these guys last week, but the dynamic between these three is still far and away the highlight of the series right now.
  • The group is being sued by Mark Sterling and have one week to find a lawyer before the trial. They tried to hire Sterling to represent them, but he declined. Colt Cabana’s soul was transferred to an apple.

Hollywood Hunk —

  • Ryan Nemeth spoofed the Renegade Twins’ Twitter mishap from a week ago as he worked out at Golds Gym.
  • Nemeth delivered Olympics highlights.

Best Friends —

  • The group considered bringing in Danhausen, but Beretta was strictly against adding another member. The rest of the group debated whether Danhausen would also be in CHAOS if he joined Best Friends.

Peter Avalon–

  • Avalon fielded a call from some dude who wanted to know if his hat had been stolen. I’m not sure what this has to do with anything.

  • BTE opened with Matt and Nick Jackson giving Brandon Cutler the silent treatment. He asked them if they had a match or a promo this week. Nick flipped Cutler off. 
  • Other highlights included:

  • Cutler went to Tony Khan’s office to try to recover the money that Matt and Nick paid for their first fine.

Being The Elite began this week with The Young Bucks traveling to Jacksonville for last week’s Dynamite. There was a Jake Roberts joke that went over my head in the cold open. 

The Bucks then went to another Wal Mart in search of their action figures but struck out again. 

After some Cutler Cam footage from Dynamite, Jurassic Express confronted Matt and Nick in their locker room for not doing any of their taunts on Dynamite. 

Matt and Nick then criticized Luchasaurus for not doing a Canadian destroyer and ribbed him for dating Helen Hart. Luchasaurus called Helen “The Original Canadian Destroyer” and said he dated her before Stu did. 

Other highlights from this week’s show included: 

  • Hangman Page approached Brandon Cutler backstage and asked him to apologize to Matt and Nick for him. Page said he knew he messed up and was sorry for costing them their match two weeks ago. 
  • Alex Reynolds and John Silver talked about needing to recruit more Dark Order members. Silver is the star of this show by such a wide margin. They entered MJF’s locker room. MJF wasn’t”t there but Wardlow was. They proceeded to hit on Wardlow and talk about how pretty he was. Wardlow left and Reynolds and Silver were upset that they were so blinded by his beauty that they had forgotten to make an attempt to recruit him. 
  • The Bucks and Cutler went to Cracker Barrel and accidentally stole some merchandise. Cutler then told Matt and Nick that Page had approached him. Matt cut him off and said that they didn’t want to hear anything from Hangman. 
  • Alex Abrahantes, Vickie Guerrero and Diamante did a commercial for Mi Phone. 
  • The Bucks arrived at the red carpet for All Out. Cutler showed footage from All Out, including Chris Jericho’s bump into the mimosa tank. 
  • Swole gave a Public Swole Announcement: Pretty ladies should sit with their legs crossed. “Pretty” Ricky Starks interrupted her. 
  • Brodie Lee entered Dark Order’s locker room after his team’s loss at All Out. He banned Evil Uno from Twitch and all third-party affiliates. Reynolds and Silver entered and announced that they had recruited Sinbad to Dark Order. Sinbad appeared via Cameo. 
  • Brodie then brought Griff Garrison into the room and introduced him as Jungle Boy. Silver pointed out that it was Garrison. Anna Jay killed Griff with a rear naked choke. Brodie told everyone to have fun with the body. 
  • Cutler again asked Matt and Nick if he could talk to them about Hangman. The Bucks said they wouldn’t discuss it on camera. 
  • The episode closed with shots from the PPV, interspersed with a photo of The Elite in a broken picture frame.

The Dark Order dominated episode 218 of Being The Elite. 

Dark Order celebrated Brodie Lee’s TNT Championship win in their locker room with food from Chili’s. They then discussed how each member spent their Chili’s endorsement deal money:

  • Alex Reynolds spent $1 million on tap dancing lessons. 
  • Evil Uno bought a cardboard Brodie Lee cutout. 
  • 10 bought guns. 
  • 5 bought hair implants. 
  • John Silver bought beer. 
  • Lee bought six riding lawnmowers even though he doesn’t have a lawn to taunt Hangman Page. 

A “F*ck Hangman” chant broke out in the Dark Order locker room. Lee gave Silver a hip toss onto a table. 

Other highlights included: 

  • The Young Bucks were shown hanging out at Dynamite, then signing inserts for their upcoming book. 
  • Peter Avalon, Brandon Cutler and Leva Bates are tired of losing matches and can’t agree on whether or not to cheat to win their matches. 
  • Matt Hardy asked The Bucks to fire Sammy Guevara after he gives Sammy a receipt for busting him open with a chair. 
  • Christopher Daniels did a parody of a Life Alert commercial. This was great. 
  • Guevara, Silver, Reynolds, Alex Abrahantes, Jake Hager, Willie Urbina, Marko Stunt, Santana and Ortiz had a Zoom call. This was a prolonged masturbation joke. 
  • Kenny Omega and Hangman Page met Madusa backstage. Page looked Madusa in the eye and turned to stone. 
  • Best Friends and Orange Cassidy set a trap to try to kill Cutler. 
  • Colt Cabana met with Doc Sampson. Cabana’s face is completely covered in gold foil. He asked for Sampson to perform an experimental surgery to make him normal again. Sampson reluctantly agreed and the show ended with the surgery not going well.

Being The Elite is back this week with a super-sized edition. 

Some highlights include: 

  • Nick Jackson found an email from Chili’s restaurants offering The Elite an endorsement deal. They only had one hour to sign the deal, though. Nick and Kenny Omega wanted to the sign the deal and said they were looking for a ticket out of the wrestling business. Hangman Page said he could by a lawnmower or a cake with the money. 
  • Matt Jackson said that the group had already taken on too much and wanted to talk them out of taking the deal. Matt bladed his forehead and ruined the contract with seconds left before the deadline. 
  • Nick said Matt ruined their lives. Nick said he was going to break up with Matt and go on a singles run like the fans want. Nick and Kenny said that singing together was their passion and Matt took that away from them. Matt started to pass out from blood loss. This was all played for laughs. 
  • Frankie Kazarian approached Broken Matt Hardy backstage as Matt talked to a chair of wheels. Kazarian was stuck in his 1980s southern wrestling character. Hardy said that he was speaking to a beautiful vision of Fractured Frankie but offered to introduce him to the Lake of Reincarnation to break him out of this. 
  • Omega was in the training room. Colt Cabana approached and wanted to do his bit with Omega. Page intercepted him and told him to stay away from Omega because Omega was going to murder him. Page told Cabana to get his affairs in order and prepare for his funeral. 
  • Hardy was working with Private Party in the ring. He told them to get back to basics and do a fundamental spot. Private Party botched the spot and Broken Matt appeared to explain the term “botch” with broken brilliance. 
  • Omega and Brandon Cutler were hanging out in Matt’s dressing room. Omega said he got some of the good stuff straight from Japan. He said it was what all the New Japan boys were on. He produced a bottle of melatonin gummies. 
  • Matt entered and Omega and Cutler tried to peer pressure him into taking melatonin. Matt turned them down because he’s Christian AF. 
  • Alex Reynolds and John Silver found Kris Statlander. Statlander was on the floor stretching. Reynolds wanted to recruit her to Dark Order. Statlander used her crutch as a fake gun. Silver said she was too weird for Dark Order and smelled bad. 
  • Reynolds offered Statlander Kool-Aid. Statlander fed it to her custom Chuck Taylor action figure with a fork. She said the figure told her that those guys were spooky perverts and she was not going to join them. 
  • They showed Cutler Cam highlights from Dynamite.
  • Big Money Matt Hardy ran into MJF and Wardlow backstage. They talked trash to each other. 
  • Alex Abrahantes introduced the Speaking Spanglish segment with Santana and Ortiz. Ortiz sent Dasha Gonzalez a text and told her that she was a “payne” in his ass. Dasha threw a shoe at him. 
  • The Bucks showed footage of Peter Avalon and Brandon Cutler’s match from Dark. 
  • Super Panda wanted to train Luchasaurus for his match with The Elite this week. Luchasaurus said that he was afraid he would stiff Kenny. Panda sang a Rocky song to fire Luchasaurus up. We got a Luchasaurus training montage.  
  • Panda wanted Luchasaurus to practice a Canadian destroyer into a swimming pool. Luchasaurus was afraid to try the move. Panda fired him up. The camera cut away before we saw him hit the move. 
  • Mr. Brodie Lee was on the phone. Reynolds and Silver interrupted and told him that they had recruited Jungle Boy. It turned out not to be Jungle Boy and Lee flipped out.
