The Story:Ford explains he was tired of tag team mediocrity while others got singles pushesThis group dominates across all divisions: IC Title, US Title, Tag TitlesModern-day Horsemen with swagger, athleticism, and ruthless ambition Dawkins becomes the sympathetic babyface seeking revenge and allies
 
Bron's promo was just way more awkward than anything his uncle or father ever did. Almost like he forgot what he was doing.

LA Knight, probably winning the Rumble and getting his revenge on Bron and the Vision at Mania.... or as you said, getting fired. None of this booking makes sense...
Dog, every time Scott Steiner cut a promo it felt like he forgot was he was supposed to say and would sometimes stutter and stammer through them.
That was part of his appeal. Bron is just taking it up a level while channeling the Dog-faced gimmick his dad did.

Tez needs to stand on his own....I don't want him to be part of a faction.

Also, Oba Femi is his own dude.

He shouldn't be anyone's monster enforcer.... he's his own enforcer and should be treated as such. A monster who doesn't need a crew to wreck shit.

Bro, I get it, just last night's promo in particular seemed off, even by Steiner family rules.

I get it, but the history of Black Main Eventers standing on their own will not fair well. Even the Samoans have a faction while Roman and Jacob could stand on their own they are often placed in a faction. What better introduction to the main roster than an all black faction of underutilized talent to feud with the likes of The Vision The OG Bloodline or even the New Bloodline. Tez vs Rollins
Trick vs Paul
Oba Femi vs Brock Lesner

This would be a phenomenal idea. AEW has the sisters of sin. WWE doesn’t have a female “horror” tag team. Tatum can actually do decent mic work too.

Excellent idea but the wwe would never let a black man be a major title holder let alone dominate like the bloodline.

Agreed. Every Black wrestler doesn't need to be in a group with other Black wrestlers. That just comes off as lazy booking to me.
It's like when they just throw a bunch of Latino wrestlers together in a group because they have no other ideas for them.

The Samoans are legit family members, which is why it worked.

Outside of being brothers (Black) there is no connection between Oba, Tez and Trick. They would be looked at as The Black version of the Shield....I don't want them to be The Black version of anything, but be their own thing, like The Hurt Business.

As far as standing on their own, Femi has it. He has an opportunity this Saturday, one that not too many Black wrestling talent have been given and I think he will shine.
 
Wouldn't the same be said about Bron Breakker. He has the it factor and has been given the IC Title and World Heavyweight title shot. But was put in a faction. Even Gunther was in Imperium before he shed the faction. WWE doesn’t have a great history of the NXT call ups going straight to the main event and I dont want these guys getting stuck in catering. Dark State is more of the black shield. This would be more of a majestic faction a faction of Black Excellence led by King Tez and and the Ruler from NXT by his side. Melo and Trick have history together and we found they are better together than apart.

Femi is literally challenging the company's top guy on Saturday Night's Main Event. If they didn't believe in him, they would not have given him that spot.

The only problem I have with this is that Dawkins is pretty much going to be paired up with a bunch of white folks to get his pound of flesh. Dawkins teams with Carmelo gets his hit back but Carmelo turns on him to become the 4th member and now Dawkins is stuck in Jobber Paradise.
 
More like HHHplosive lol
I know y'all think HHH is the worst booker ever all of a sudden, lol, but I can at least look at things rationally and cut the guy some slack.
Yes, there have been bad booking decisions lately (like with any booker) but its not as bad as y'all make it.

I swear the IWC can be insufferable at times.
They want their favorite underdog wrestlers to get pushed to the moon at all times and then when they actually do, the same IWC eventually turns on them because they feel they're getting pushed down our throats, pause.

John Cena reveals how he pitched his farewell tour."We have two options. At 48, I feel I can compete using magic, hocus pocus and all the tricks and wisdom I have, but the pace of the product has passed me by. I either post, ‘I'm done’, which is a post, or I can pump the brakes on all other activities for the year and dedicate this to being the last year. I know it hasn't been done, but this is what I think could possibly happen creatively. I'm allowing you to do whatever you want. I just want to try to use whatever energy I have to pass on and hopefully give audiences memorable moments. I think, I don't know if people understand it right away, because no wrestler ever retires, I'll be the first, but it's been great to see audiences get it and audiences understand. So now to be at these shows is something special, and we've had great moments come out of these shows. I'm not saying I'm the sole driving force behind it, but a lot of people are showing up to be like man, this is the last time I can see John, and then the show's been great enough to be like yeah, but I want to watch them fight too. So I'm very happy they bought it, and I think I would say everyone internally is happy, and I would say everyone externally has an opinion about it, which is good. Here we are in early December, looking forward to the 13th. I don't think there is apathy out there. I know some people are critical of it. Some people may be upset, some people may be overjoyed, but there isn’t apathy, and I think that means we did okay."
 

John Cena says losing to Brock Lesnar at WWE Wrestlepalooza wasn’t going to hurt him, was done to build Brock:“This attraction we are going to build until he goes into the sunset, which is I think in Minnesota, or creatively it's very soon. To create a mountain to climb for someone, you have to build the mountain. I'm on my way out. It’s not like it's going to hurt me, but I'm a viable commodity and it's a great main event. See these two titans for the last time.And it's okay. Sometimes your team gets blown out. We were first on the program. I did the best I could. We've all did the best we could to make it a competitive fight into the middle. People forget when Brock fell down for the first time on the shoulder tackle and then I gave him, I was able to give him all the stuff. They were into it. And then just a bunch of gratuitous F5’s. That’s how you build Brock.”
