* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeih29ylk50 Your father is dead.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A trend during Wrestling/ChristianCage's {{Heel}} run in AEW is for him to target a wrestler's deceased father and just trash them for {{Heel}} heat. It started with "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry, and continued to Wrestling/{{Wardlow}} and Brian Pillman Jr. This led to fans claiming that Christian only goes after wrestlers with dead fathers so he can proceed to bury them live. When Christian showed up to a cut a promo on Nick Wayne and brought up that Wayne had a father, the entire audience went into a collective gasp knowing what Christian was about to say.[[/labelnote]]

First, after Okada took his phone when he left in in the locker room and took a selfie, Chuck referred to him as a "phone stealing pervert." When Jay White returned from excursion with his Switchblade gimmick and became a member of CHAOS, he was dubbed "Knife Pervert" (which persists to this day). Okada would become "Balloon Pervert" in the second half of 2018, when he started coming out to the ring with balloons during his entrance. This extends to Chuck in Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling, where he and his tag team partner Trent? referred to the Dark Order as "spooky perverts." [[/note]]

Arn's reputation as an O.G. had already been credible enough to feed the believability of the segment, but then he contrasted his and Cody's approaches to a hypothetical carjacking scenario. "You pull up to a red light, a man jerks your door open, says 'Outta the car, I'm takin' your car!' You say, 'Okay, take it. Just don't hurt me!' You know what I do?

As this is 2021, not 1996, cutting an "I'm ready to kill you if you mess with me" promo is far more likely to turn heads in one way or another. Cue instant memes.[[/labelnote]]
