Hounds Of Hell

[7.0] "I feel like this group in the beginning was the perfect vessel to help push Malakai to the top of AEW and it probably should/could have if not for how the booking went. Great presentation and look and they all brought great intensity to the ring. In the end though Its crazy to think how this group truly benefited everyone else besides Black with giving Matthews more of a spotlight, with Brody getting over especially with his matches against Darby, and Julia with helping her develop greatly so early in her career."

[4.0] "I was a major fan of Black in WWE & thought he's be just as great in AEW. Unfortunately, he was not. This group was a part of the problem. I think Black should have remained a single instead of starting this group. Instead of getting over with good wrestling, they intensified the magical aspect, which didn't work for me. I will say that this group did more for Brody than it did for Black. And it gave Hart more of a character to play with than what she had prior. But all the start - stop pushes ended up killing them."

[10.0] "I will admit that booking and creative as failed this group more often than helped them, but the absolute aura and talent of these 3 badass men and incredibly talented woman could easily carry any promotion that would treat them like the biggest and most important thing. Malakai Black is so freaking incredible in every aspect, Brody King is a super awesome big man, Buddy Matthews is a scary freak athlete, and Julia Hart has really grown into her role and is so amazing alongside them. Really wish they had more success in AEW."

[9.0] "This quartet is the reason why I watch AEW. The haunting atmosphere they bring to each segment they're in is truly something. Just sucks that AEW doesn't seem too interested in booking them properly. I'm glad they gave Julia the TBS title at Full Gear and what she and Skye are doing has promise but why haven't the guys gone after the Trios title? Having them be a House of Champions would greatly improve their stock and make them the dominant force that we all know they can be.I truly hope we get more of the House in 2024. The House Always Wins."

[8.0] "This doesn't have THAT stable vibe, but it's a nice group of people that never fail to deliver in their presentations. Their look is awesome and every time they participate on something it's really interesting and catches the attentions. It's a shame that they never made it to the full potential so far and stayed remote for long periods of time."

[9.0] "Some incredibly talented wrestlers - led by my all time personal favorite - that feel consistently like victims of bad booking no matter what they do. The style, the presentation, the work rate, the aggression, the chemistry - it's all there and all of it is absolutely stellar. Sadly, outside of their excellent work with The Elite it never felt like they were given the opportunity to truly devour their opponents like they needed to to come across as the monsters they are. Even with my gripes, The House of Black remains my favorite faction of all time and hopefully can go on and meet their full potential in the future."

[5.0] "Dissapointing. That's all I can say about them so far. So funny, there is a group of incredibly talanted wrestlers, leaded by one of the most creative man in wrestling world nowadays, and they are not interesting at all. They had huge matches with The Elite and JAS, but then they do nothing and appear to make random title defenses just to remind about their existing. Let's be honest, they are nobody. Just a group of people, who loves metal music, dark closes and unique masks."

[9.0] "Even as acclaimed as they are, still incredibly underrated. House of Black is the full package; on a character level, their aesthetic seems a little generic at first glance but reveals itself to be both unique and deep, they bring a consistent sense of atmosphere to every aspect of both their matches and segments, and their philosophy and reason for existing is evident in everything they do. And yet character is limited without good work to back it up - good thing they're all superb workers. As a trio, they might just be my single favourite three man team to watch work in existence; their movements, attacks, and strategies are all incredibly cohesive and full of chemistry. All of the House's members are similarly great singles wrestlers, and any story they're involved in is bound to be improved by their presence. They may not have The Elite's "holy shit" energy, but House of Black puts in just as much effort and executes just as well but with the higher workload of an upper midcard group, and I'd be shocked if in 15 years we aren't looking back on this as one of the shining gems of this era of AEW."

[7.0] "Interesting stable. Black and King fit together like a glove though Matthews seemed a little more of an outcast. Julia Hart story of joining was fine. The story with Death Triangle just went too long. Their Trios titles reign has redeemed the group in my opinion as it has given them good matches."

[10.0] "The House of Black has found their groove and are rocking. Their entrance is the best in wrestling and their in-ring work is excellent. Buddy is back at his 205 live speed and moveset. Malakai is captivating as the leader and his moves are devastating. Brody is a beast and puts on excellent hoss fights. Julia Hart really developed as wrestler and character. the dark reps have really paid off."

[9.0] "House Of Black rules so much. All great workers with great looks and sick move sets. Everything they do gets me interested and Im so glad they are back on tv. Would love to see some title reigns for these dudes"

"A group that's deserved better than what they've gotten. I love Malachi, I love Buddy, I love Brody, but they're getting nothing from being trapped in the overcrowded ship that is AEW."

[7.0] "Has a ton of potential, and I really like their look and gimmick. All current members are either already super talented or (in the case of Julia) very promising. But they've yet to be pushed into a real top tier feud, although this might change if a good story plays out with Miro, Darby, and Sting."

[10.0] "I love the stable, House of Black is my favorite group right now, I hope they will win the Trios Tag Teams in AEW, they didn't proved a lot for now, but I think with the road for titles and getting the titles itself, will prove that this group is gonna rule the AEW tag team division"

[4.0] "Their vibe and look are fine, and so is Black as the leader. The rest though not so much. 3 completely bland and charisma-less followers and never-ending feuds with jobbers like Pillman and Fuego is not a recipe for a great stable."

[7.0] "They're alright I guess. I can't really figure out what they're supposed to be exactly. A dark occult stable like the Ministry, just people who lead an "alternate" lifestyle like the Brood, or what. Ultimately, I guess all that matters is their feuds are sufficiently entertaining and their matches are pretty good. Brody King sucks but Malakai and Matthews are 2 of the best in-ring workers on the roster currently with Julia Hart as a good recent addition. They're just kinda there for me for now but they have potential to be a great stable with the talent they have."

[9.0] "They haven't really been given much focus yet but with what they've been given, I've been really enjoying this faction. They look BAD ASS, have a great entrance and deliver in the ring. Julia Hart has now been added to the group and I look forward to Malakai hopefully being given a prominent role and King & Matthews being given more ring time on Dynamite."

[7.0] "I'm not quite sure what their identity is aside from obviously being the scary guys. All three are good wrestlers and they've had good trios matches, although without much of a story. Thank god they've gotten past Cody and the Varsity Blondes."

[8.0] "The members of this stable are very good wrestlers and Malakai, Brody and Buddy fit the role of Dark wrestlers well. I don't give this stable a 10 because I think a Dark Stable needs to speak in the ring in the Ministry Of Darkness style, they come out in videos already recorded in an empty room so the public doesn't experience that Dark feeling."

[10.0] ""Members of House of Black, please rise" When Malakai said this line for the first time and everyone in the crowd actually stood up I knew these guys were going to be a big deal. Everything from the individual presentation, entrance, promos, packages, even things like getting into and out of the ring has been meticioulsy thought out. Whenever HoB make an entrance its like the mood changes in the arena and it becomes a lot darker and the tone of the show changes. Cody did a great job of putting Black over and in turn the HoB is being treated like absolute mega stars. The long term story telling while be slow at times does a great job of keeping you captivated. I'm very curious to see where HoB vs Death Triangle ends up."
