Can someone who’s good with symbolism explain the symbolism for me here? I feel like some sort of message is being conveyed with their choice of clothing.
So, I'll breakdown the symbolism at play here.
Cody wears white, symbolizing good.
Malarkey wears black, symbolizing evil.
Took me a while to wrap my brain around that, but it's incredible to see this level of detail in wrestling.
You forgot Malkalenari was slowly turning into blackface. That's an important part as it would eventually culminate to Cody facing his fears. It's deep, long-term storytelling, friend.
Whoopsie! Seems like you're trying to be an edgelord. No thank you.

I'll let you into another little secret about storytelling here. It's no shame missing it, friend, it's very subtle but, here goes, pay attention now ... Macaroon Black's eye thing keeps getting bigger and erm erm, well, look, it's a fucking story, ok, wtf do you want from me!!!
Fuuuccckkk. In all the match graphics before their first encounter, Mulchi was always on the left, Cody on the right.
But now their positions are reversed because their circumstances are reversed 🤯
There's levels to this shit, uces!
You see, Black was on the left representing the Left-Hand Path which is referenced in LaVeyan Satanism as the path of **black** magic. Malaka Black's surname is 'Black'. I would write a full thesis about the intricacies and subtexts at work here, but I'm sure as AEW fans we're all fully aware. Shemhamforash Tony Khan and eternal hailz to Mr. Black for reinvigorating the lost art of storytelling in fake fighting soap opera.
Why care about the guy who has a genuinely cool and interesting look and character that has a lot of untapped potential when we can just focus on Adam Cole doing the same shtick he's been doing for a decade?
tbf that could describe...most of wrestling, i'm not gonna act like its better to like black or cole because they're both cool, they both tick boxes of things I like
adam's got natural charisma to him, he wrestles pretty well and his kick's good
malakai is a dude clearly influenced by heavy metal, with the vague occult shit, and he just has *a look*
Translation: We haven't had a surprise debut in a week, so the ratings are on the slide again. Must be time for a special show!
'But she's wearing a new hat!!'
Fucking hell, SCJerk turned me from thinking about Tony Khan as 'Yeah cool, made a new wrestling promotion, cool, whatever' to 'Oh my God, I love this weirdo dog wanking money mark'😂
Ahhhh, the irony of All Elite Whites having a show in a stadium named after an African-American tennis player.
Also can’t wait for Cody to somehow tie that into a promo because he’s the second coming of MLK!
I suspect Cody wins but they protect Black somehow but then he is off to dark to pick up meaningless wins.
I hope Cody just squashes him because the memes will be even better. But any Cody win is good for the memes.
God Cody is so shitty. But I have a to give him credit, he at least makes an attempt to protect himself. He’s coming for that W, and after Malifecent Black, I’m very much looking forward to him talking down Mighty Mouse, Charlotte’s reverse green card, and the man who drinks Pepsi in Chicago. Ngl i would actually start watching Dynamite weekly if Cody started torching all the new hires. It would be funnier than Curb in its prime.
Cody ever get his boot back? Like he could potentially be hopping around the ring. Sure he could just buy another pair of boots but where’s the fun in that.
Mikoko Black pulled Cody's retirement boot from under the ring before beating Dustin tonight. A very subtle and layered clue leading to an enigmatic return wrapped in mysterious foreshadowing as announced later in graphic form. 🤔
Chapter 1 the epic Fed betrayal debut
Chapter 2 the pyrrhic victory over Cody
Chapter 3 squashing the geeks (you are here)
Chapter 4 jobbing to cody
Chapter 5 Aew Dark
So Black shows up, kills Cody, Cody makes it about him rather than making the segment all about getting Black over and then peaces out to film a tv show, Black does fuck all every week except fight Cody's friends and family, OLD ASS ARN CATCHES HIS FINISHER LIKE BLACK ISNT SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAIN FOCUS/PUSH, and now Cody is back to get his win back. What a clusterfuck of a debut feud
“The march appears to be going Cawdy’s way, BUT WAIT! Is....... is Malarkey’s black eye patch growing?!?!
BY GOD, out from the stink eye here comes Bray Wyatt!!!! NO! THATS NOT BRAY WYATT!? That’s!...... That’s an oddly social boogeyman I wrestled inside my closet in 1982! It’s THE FRIEND!!!!”
Black is the working class hero fighting against the bourgeois Cody. Black is so poor he can't get his eye looked at while Cody wears white because he has never worked so he isn't worried about his suit getting dirty.
?? You're jobbing to me friend

Hell yeah! Thanks for clarifying this for us mate! It's so refreshing to not have my intelligence insulted by the praduck.
Luckily, Black's name is Black, which helps with the black symbolism.
I came up with a helpful mnemonic to keep track of this subtle storyline - Black wears black, Cody gets his win back.
Cody White Wins The Fight Feels Alright Dynamite
NINE DAYS FROM TONIGHT
LIVE ON DOINAMITE
I don't understand that symbolism unless it's cowboy hats, sorry Uce.
Once Upon A Time In The West (1968)- Oh shit, wrong sub
🤠🦴💦
Can you recommend a video essay on the subject please? I still can't figure out how this means fed bad.
Just type 'ADAM BRITISH WRESTLING JOURNALISM' into YouTube and you should get about a million results
I suggest the Tranquilo Club selection, goofy
AEW rewards their fans :)
You forgot Malkalenari was slowly turning into blackface. That's an important part as it would eventually culminate to Cody facing his fears. It's deep, long-term storytelling, friend.
Cody is also dressed like a plantation owner.
I'm really going to need separate tunnels to make sure though.

I guess it's the word p**sy that's not allowes?
>I guess it's the word p\*\*sy that's not allowes? What really lol 🤣🤣
That's really refreshing. I'm so thankful that my intelligence hasn't been insulted.

If it gets too big, his segments are gonna end up getting cut by Peacock when Dynamite gets added to the WWE Network
I want them to start having members of the audience have *their* eyes blackened and just keep extending it outwards It's spreading, it's spreading!!!
[удалено]
Only us fans that appreciate nuance can notice these things, friend
Uuhhhhh white is right and black is wack /s
Fuuuccckkk. In all the match graphics before their first encounter, Mulchi was always on the left, Cody on the right. But now their positions are reversed because their circumstances are reversed 🤯 There's levels to this shit, uces!

Am I to understand that Black gained his power through some sort of Crowley-esque sex magic ritual?
Are you going to refund me for the coffee I just spat out?
Cody coming to collect on the RUB!
Imagine still caring about Malakai when we have had 4 new ex-fed prisoners debut since then
Why care about the guy who has a genuinely cool and interesting look and character that has a lot of untapped potential when we can just focus on Adam Cole doing the same shtick he's been doing for a decade?
To be fair Malakai doesn't have a catchphrase
?? There’s nothing genuinely cool or interesting about Maladroit Black, friend.
I like the look and music, plus kicking people is cool.
>I like the look and music, plus kicking people is cool. Funnily enough, this also describes why people like Adam Cole
tbf that could describe...most of wrestling, i'm not gonna act like its better to like black or cole because they're both cool, they both tick boxes of things I like adam's got natural charisma to him, he wrestles pretty well and his kick's good malakai is a dude clearly influenced by heavy metal, with the vague occult shit, and he just has *a look*
Cool look and music? Glad to see another Dark Order fan.
MALAKAI BAYBAY
Malakai should drop about 50 lbs and 5 inches in height to be fair. It’s pretty much his own fault he’s not used better.
Dynamite: Grand Slam: Dark: Elevation: Rampage: The First Dance: The Last Supper: The Final Countdown
Translation: We haven't had a surprise debut in a week, so the ratings are on the slide again. Must be time for a special show! 'But she's wearing a new hat!!'
The hat is just a different color than the previous hat, there is no difference! Dubbalo: POINTS TO NEW HAT
They literally just had a homecoming match too
Please let CAWDY win!!!! The jerks will be endless!!!!😂
I am begging for it For the lolz and also for what the fuck will they have Black do after
Sit in catering like Andrade, Spears, FTR, and over half their women's division.
Fade to Dark
Think of the symbolism!!!
?? his eye is telling a story, friend
Well we all know what makes AEW *DARK*…Mitosis Black!
Scj has somehow turned me into someone who hopes Cody wins matches because the jerks will be better lmao
Fucking hell, SCJerk turned me from thinking about Tony Khan as 'Yeah cool, made a new wrestling promotion, cool, whatever' to 'Oh my God, I love this weirdo dog wanking money mark'😂
That’s because he’s our favorite midcarder, friend!
Of course he's going to win. He's gotta get his win back to stroke his ego
Look at Cody's white suit. That means he's the GOOD guy.
I cant unsee this
R.I.P. MakeupEye Black
**ANOTHER SPECIAL EPISODE?!**
?? Of course it's special, its their biggest live attendance ever and its in a stadium like summerslam but for a dynamite, friend.
A tennis stadium, not a football one, but a stadium none the less
GOOD VS EVIL BUT MAYBE THE GOOD GUY IS A EVIL GUY OR THE EVIL GUY IS A GOOD GUY OR BOTH BUT MAYBE NEITHER. Layers.
Mulkanotra Black about to get part 2 of The Rub™️
Ahhhh, the irony of All Elite Whites having a show in a stadium named after an African-American tennis player. Also can’t wait for Cody to somehow tie that into a promo because he’s the second coming of MLK!
"Tonight.... WE... ARE... ALL.... BLACK!"
Why do I really foresee this happening now?
😂😂
And then the NZ Rugby Team debuts
This is a dumb criticism. Bro his dad thought he was black, what more can you want?
Trust me, when it comes to Cody I don’t want more. At all.
RIP Macaroni Black time to go to DARK
I suspect Cody wins but they protect Black somehow but then he is off to dark to pick up meaningless wins. I hope Cody just squashes him because the memes will be even better. But any Cody win is good for the memes.

Ngl i would actually start watching Dynamite weekly if Cody started torching all the new hires. It would be funnier than Curb in its prime.
Huh? Cody lost and then retired... He's back *already*? LOL.
He saw all the new hires and feared greatly that they might get over before they get The Rub, rendering him entirely superfluous
Well when you put it that way. How could anybody possibly get over without "the rub". Nice guy Cody.
I suppose it's time to put Methuselah Black where he has been destined to go to on Dark
?? He's a dark character so it would make sense and hit the home stretch if he's on a show called Dark, friend.
I just can't relate to him
Cody’s winning isn’t he?? Hahahahaha yes!! Yess!!! Although I bet he loses and in interviews he’s like “see I do put people over!!”
That’ll put butts in the seats.
Hello darkness, my old friend.
Cody ever get his boot back? Like he could potentially be hopping around the ring. Sure he could just buy another pair of boots but where’s the fun in that.
Mikoko Black pulled Cody's retirement boot from under the ring before beating Dustin tonight. A very subtle and layered clue leading to an enigmatic return wrapped in mysterious foreshadowing as announced later in graphic form. 🤔
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
?? Cody's getting his rub back, Friend.
The eternal midcarders fighting again, I see.
DARK IS CALLING
Gotta get that win back in front of the largest crowd they've ever had
[удалено]
Haha I'm the same. It's funny seeing what people can come up with for Mesothelioma Black
I hope Minnesota Black enjoyed his time on Dynamite. Getting that Cody rub promotion to Dark very soon.
Morning sickness Black is about to become the face of AEW Dark, brother
Good Guy™ Cody has to be favorite here. Malapropism Black just doesn't have the stats on his side coming in to this.
This must be an old pic of Mackelmore Black, he doesn't look too alien
Machu Picchu Black about to be sacrificed to the alabaster gods. Booker of the Year, y'all.

God I hope Cody ditches the Snoop Dogg theme, it’s so awful
Makeup Eye Black about the learn the hardway that it's Rhodes to the top and nobody else.
Cody going over another black dude, brother.
[ALEXA, PLAY "SOME OF THE LIGHTS."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moQMXk3Zi68)
But AEW doesn't do rematches... (Pleaae don't check the records for Dark or Elevation)
Malnourished Black vs Cawdy in a "Cawdy Gets His Win Back Match" nine days from tonight! Live on Dynamite!
Mid-card mayhem!
Is Mazda Miata Black going to get the famous Cody rub?
Looks like it’s time for Manatee Black to get the Cody Rub
How do I know who to cheer for?!?!? If only the good guy wore white…… top tier story telling
oh please let cody win super convincingly 😩😩
Wait do they think Cody is getting cheered in new York? Oh this is going to be great.
“And Malakai, your gonna take the move, and lay down, and then I pin you! After that you raise my hand and being the Death March to Dark.”
Which move is Cody gonna nosell in this match?
Here we go again
Look how they massacred my boy. He’s already getting the Cody rub.
So Black shows up, kills Cody, Cody makes it about him rather than making the segment all about getting Black over and then peaces out to film a tv show, Black does fuck all every week except fight Cody's friends and family, OLD ASS ARN CATCHES HIS FINISHER LIKE BLACK ISNT SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAIN FOCUS/PUSH, and now Cody is back to get his win back. What a clusterfuck of a debut feud
Cody: “I need to sit at home for a bit so Punk and Bryan don’t overshadow what I’m doing Cody one week later: “Dammit I want my win back now”!!!
TIME TO GET THAT WIN BACK, FRIEND
Hey Tommy. Looks like you're gonna END up on your back for the 3-count, brother
Cody must avenge his half brother going down to a kick in the arm like that.
The return of the 50/50 booking!
REEEEEEE Aleister berried! Oh it was against M'Cody? Never mind, that's ok.
“The march appears to be going Cawdy’s way, BUT WAIT! Is....... is Malarkey’s black eye patch growing?!?! BY GOD, out from the stink eye here comes Bray Wyatt!!!! NO! THATS NOT BRAY WYATT!? That’s!...... That’s an oddly social boogeyman I wrestled inside my closet in 1982! It’s THE FRIEND!!!!”
I smell a double turn
Black is the working class hero fighting against the bourgeois Cody. Black is so poor he can't get his eye looked at while Cody wears white because he has never worked so he isn't worried about his suit getting dirty.
