Page was on his phone not paying attention, while Brandon talked to Matt and Nick trying to decide on which spray tan can to use. Omega grabbed his stomach and complained about being hungry. Omega asked if they\u2019d been to catering. Matt said it\u2019s terrible. Omega complained that, after a terrible day of Dynamite they have to put up with terrible catering too. Omega said for once he wants something, but didn\u2019t say what it was. He asked them all to guess and provided a clue. He started snapping his fingers, Cutler caught on and started tapping his two cans of spray tan together to the rhythm, Nick and Matt both joined in as well. Page sat there on his phone not paying attention. Omega and company started singing the old baby back ribs tune from Chili\u2019s commercials. Hangman puth his phone down and watched as they continued before finally deciding to join in and sing along. They all stopped and Omega asked what they wanted to eat. Matt said he knows what he wants and they all started singing the song again. This time Hangman didn\u2019t join in, but just laughed at them as they started singing again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Being the Elite open aired.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Matt was setting up a camera when Nick walked over and asked if it was set up. Brandon Cutler walked through the screen behind them. Nick asked Matt if Brandon would cry again and Matt said of course he would because he\u2019s a little baby. They stepped back from the camera and said hi to Cutler. They were standing in the ring that Nick built in his back yard. Cutler asked if they wanted to train a little. Matt said he sent Cutler a text and asked him to read it out loud real quick. Cutler pulled out his phone and read the message \u201cHi. My name is Brandon Cutler. I have been wrestling in AEW for over a year now. I have never won a match. I am 0-16. I have never asked for anything and I deserve a break. So tomorrow on AEW Dark, the grandest stage of them all, I\u2019ll be teaming with my tag team partner Peter Avalon against the Young Bucks.\u201d Cutler didn\u2019t seem thrilled to be teaming with Avalon again. Matt and Nick were shocked that he wasn\u2019t crying and asked him why. Cutler said this is terrible news and he and Peter aren\u2019t a team any more. Nick asked them to team up one more time. Cutler said there\u2019s already like 11 matches on AEW Dark and Matt said there\u2019s going to be 12 this week then. Matt was disappointed that Cutler didn\u2019t cry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Matt was standing in front of a claw game machine at a Denny\u2019s with Luchasaurus, who had a mask on, but not his Luchasaurus mask. Matt said Luchasaurus has alleged that he\u2019s the king of the claw machine and they\u2019re about to find out. Luchasaurus was struggling to put a dollar in the machine. Luchasaurus tried to grab a stuffed animal out of it, but failed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Matt and Nick were in their ring gear holding their action figures. They said they were on set for a commercial for their action figures. Nick said they\u2019re getting excited about the release coming up. They said they\u2019ve basically had three matches while recording for the commercial and they think people will love it. Slow motion video was shown of them recording parts of the commercial including posing. Matt then cried out in pain and held his back.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Page was in full ring attire with his action figure being recorded for the commercial and he faked being punched. The Young Bucks, Page, and Kenny Omega were flashed back and forth selling moves and cheering as if the figures in front of them were fighting, but they were receiving the attacks in person. They all yelled out their signature catch lines including Hangman Page yelling \u201cit\u2019s time for some cowboy shit!\u201d Page and Omega were shown together yelling and cheering. Kenny Omega yelled out in pain while shouting out various body parts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Matt and Nick were backstage at Dynamite. Nick walked in and apologized for being late. Matt asked Nick about the bandage on his forehead and called it the Ric Flair bandage. Nick said that the airport wouldn\u2019t let him in the priority line, so he bladed at the airport to get onto the plane faster. Nick said he was inspired by Matt doing it. Matt laughed and said people think he\u2019s crazy, but he\u2019s a damn trendsetter.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-187629089\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>&#8211; Cutler and Omega were hiding in a locker room. Cutler had some lines of white powder in front of him as he shook a cup. He said it\u2019s fresh cut and Omega tried to shush him so people didn\u2019t hear. Cutler shook a cup and the powder was clearly pre-workout powder. Matt Jackson and Michael Nakazawa walked in. Matt apologized and said he didn\u2019t see anything and turned to leave as Cutler yelled at him. Omega told Cutler no and Matt walked over to investigate what was going on. Omega stuck his pinky in the powder and marveled at it. Omega then gave an elevator pitch for the pre-workout powder. Matt said he didn\u2019t want any of that because he\u2019s heard bad things about it. Omega said this is the new formula. Omega and Cutler tried convincing him to try it. Matt picked it up and nearly ate some of the powder, but slammed it down. He then scolded Omega and Cutler saying that two of his best friends were trying to get him to take performance enhancers. Matt said he and Nick are Christian AF and threw the container of powder across the room. Cutler stormed off upset while Omega grabbed a shirt that had some powder on it and started licking it and crying.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Nick Jackson was standing in catering wearing a mask and applying hand sanitizer. Private Party walked up excited to get some food and Nick asked them to look at the menu. The menu included blackened salmon and some vegetables. Private Party was upset and asked where the food was, like pizza or steak. Nick laughed them off and said this is what\u2019s to eat. Nick said he\u2019s serious and Private Party laughed him off. Private Party continued to laugh until Nick cut them off and said this is all they\u2019re going to get. Nick pulled down his mask and shouted \u201cI\u2019m dead ass!\u201d Isaiah Kassidy fell to the floor in shock and Private Party walked off upset. They sat down next to Matt Jackson who pulled down his mask and opened his mouth and chomped down twice. Private Party jumped up and left.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Orange Cassidy was sitting at a table alone. Alex Reynolds and John Silver walked up and John Silver was trying to butter up Orange Cassidy by talking about their time wrestling on the independents together. Alex Reynolds was making a small glass of Kool-Aid, while Silver was trying to recruit Cassidy to join Dark Order. Cassidy was just looking around completely uninterested. Reynolds was mixing the drink and Silver said that, on Fridays, they watch Fast and the Furious. Cassidy looked interested in that as he pulled his glasses down to look him eye to eye. Silver said they watch every single movie on Fridays, Reynolds agreed. They said they love Fast and Furious and asked if he wanted to join them. Reynolds handed Cassidy the Kool-Aid and Silver told him to drink the juice. Reynolds corrected him saying it\u2019s just Kool-Aid. Cassidy put his glasses back on and slowly pushed the cup off the table as Dark Order told him to stop it. Silver, trying to hide a smile, called Cassidy a douche bag as they stormed off.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Footage from Brandon Cutler at ringside was shown during the Lumber Jack match last Wednesday between Luchasaurus and Wardlow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Brodie Lee was walking down a hallway after his match. Hangman Page entered behind him and called for him. He introduced himself and said the new gear really brings out the brown in his eyes. Lee tried walking away, but Hangman wanted to talk so they started walking together. Hangman said back in December or January, he was on their website and put in his name and all his information. Lee repetitively asked him to confirm that he filled out their form, Hangman kept saying yes. Lee got more and more irritated, realizing what Hangman was getting at. Hangman said he just never heard back from anyone about Dark Order so he thought he\u2019d ask Lee about it. Lee said he could still join, but Hangman said no thanks, he\u2019s in a better place now. Hangman said good luck with his cult. Lee turned around, not happy with the word cult. Hangman corrected himself calling it a group of friends. Lee turned around and walked off, very upset that Hangman didn\u2019t join them. He entered his office and threw his papers at Alex Reynolds and John Silver while yelling in anger. He asked them both if they like horses, whisky, and cowboy shit. They said yes. Lee said they could\u2019ve had Hangman Page. Lee called Evil Uno and asked him to get some papers and hit himself with them. Lee left the room and yelled \u201cCowboy shit\u201d in anger as he stormed off.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Brandon Cutler was on his phone walking down a hallway and ran into Frankie Kazarian. Kazarian asked if Lanza has been taking care of him. Cutler asked why he\u2019s talking in a weird accent and Kazarian said he doesn\u2019t know. Kazarian said a couple weeks ago he was having drinks with Matt Hardy a couple weeks ago\u2026 Kazarian had an epiphany. He said Matt Hardy and ran off.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Nick Jackson was stretching and Broken Matt Hardy walked up and said hello. Hardy wished him luck and Nick said he\u2019s not going to need it because they\u2019re \u201cgoing 8-10 and taking it home quick.\u201d Matt went to talk, but Nick cut him off and laughed saying he couldn\u2019t explain that term because they\u2019ve already done it. Matt laughed and said Nick is such a prankster, he loves to rib. They both laughed and Hardy said he can\u2019t use that one again either. Matt said good luck and touched Nick\u2019s shoulder. Hardy screeched as he touched him then said hello to Cucamongo. Hardy said they\u2019ve been friends for hundreds of years then hugged Nick as he said hello to his friend Harry Houdini. Matt talked about Harry Houdini and said everyone called him the Merch Freak and called him the ultimate carny. Hardy then yelled wait as Nick was frozen behind him to explain what Carny is. He said carny, in the wrestling industry, is someone willing to use any tactic to sell their product to the consumer. They may do it in a sly fashion. They may even pull the wool over their consumers\u2019 eyes. Carny is also a language that some professional wrestlers utilize. Matt then unfroze time and said hello to Cucamongo again. Nick started breathing heavily and yelled \u201cMerch Freak\u201d as an arm was shown slowly moving towards the light switch to flicker the lights as the Merch Freak music played. Hardy and Nick were shown dancing in the flashing lights. Matt yelled and gasped for air while smiling.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Alex Abrahantes was shown again introducing the Spanglish word of the week. Santana and Ortiz then appeared for this week\u2019s word. Santana spoke in Spanish using the word ordere. Ortiz began to translate into an English sentence when Reynold and Silver of Dark Order appeared and asked if they use the word order, like Dark Order. Santana and Ortiz said no, they\u2019re talking about ordere. The four started talking when Abrahantes walked up to do his typical outro. He said \u201cwhy just speak Spanish when you can\u2026\u201d Reynold and Silver jumped in and yelled \u201cjoin the Dark Order.\u201d They then took Abrahantes away with them. A hashtag was shown \u201c#JoinTheDarkOrdere\u201d<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3312788685\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>&#8211; Colt Cabana had a camera guy with him and said he was going to see what Kenny was up to. A sign was on the door that said \u201cNo Colts Club.\u201d He opened the door to Omega, Page, Cutler, Frankie Kazarian, and the Young Bucks singing the Chili\u2019s song again. Kazarian was singing it with random curse words tossed in. Cabana slowly closed the door and said he doesn\u2019t want to ruin their fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t like Kenny Omega at his most ridiculous, avoid this episode. He was really extravagant, for lack of a better word, on this episode. Singing the Chili\u2019s tune was strange, but so it BTE so it actually fit in quite well. I like the Dark Order skits, but having Hangman say he nearly joined them is out of left field. Obviously that shouldn\u2019t be read into much, since it\u2019s just a way to get Brodie Lee mad at Evil Uno again, but why did it need to be Hangman in that spot?<\/p>\n<p>This episode featured a ton of the Young Bucks and less of the side stories in AEW like the Best Friends. Not sure why that is, but it was very noticeable that Matt and\/or Nick were in nearly every segment on this show. Overall, it\u2019s a funny episode and worth a watch if you have some free time.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH UP&#8230;<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/06\/24\/6-23-being-the-elite-review-ep-209-hangman-page-asks-matt-to-go-do-alcohol-with-him-brodie-lee-yells-at-dark-order-members-over-emails-best-friends-lean-on-a-tree-and-contemplate-life\/\">6\/23 BEING THE ELITE REVIEW (Ep. 209): Hangman Page asks Matt to \u201cgo do alcohol\u201d with him, Brodie Lee yells at Dark Order members over emails, Best Friends lean on a tree and contemplate life<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-4063246706\"><div id=\"pwtor-4119815012\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>BEING THE ELITE EP. 210 \u2013 \u201cBaby Back Ribs\u201d POSTED ON YOUTUBE.COM JUNE 29, 2020 REPORT BY ZACH GRAHAM, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR Watch on YouTube HERE. &#8211; Kenny Omega walked into an office where Brandon Cutler, <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/06\/30\/6-30-being-the-elite-review-ep-210-a-ric-flair-bandage-hand-sanitizer-terrible-catering-new-pre-workout-powder-singing-the-chillis-tune\/\" title=\"6\/30 BEING THE ELITE REVIEW (Ep. 210): A Ric Flair bandage, hand sanitizer, terrible catering, new pre-workout powder, singing the Chili&#8217;s tune\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":95906,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6438,6437,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-99907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aew-tv-reports","category-being-the-elite","category-tvshowsandevents"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2020\/04\/BeingTheElite_3x2_600.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99907"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99907\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":99910,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99907\/revisions\/99910"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
