It really is getting to the point where it's like why do I want to give this company my money?
I love me some :Anoai: but the shyt they've been doing can't be ignored. Yes they've never done right by POC but now that I'm older and wiser I can make a choice whether I want to keep plunging my money into a company the doesn't give a flying fukk about their POC performers or my demographic.

This is so beyond ridiculous it's not even funny.

Uncertain grounds
i would really like to see them go with it, get henry involved and be legit etc..

but from a booking perspective (lets just ignore the racism variable right now), where do they go with it? they might think that they debuted at the wrong time and want to leave it up in the air for a while and see how things go. having them appear and get jobbed out could easily be spun back into the stable angle with them saying they need to team up and use their force together to achieve what they want. in the meantime, who are they going to feud with? are they going to get a title or two? i feel like that even though booking thought it would be a good idea and get them all over and refreshed as characters, theyre too inept or confused to have enough direction right now with the angle to really make it worth the time.

feuding with just openers/lower mid carders isnt going to help much after a few squashes and they acted like they wanted titles..realistically that means the tag or US/IC..i dont think a feud with the Usos make much sense as the only thing going for them but who knows..its reasonable for them to go after miz (as someone who hasnt earned things) and one of them grab the IC, but kofi and big e have had the belt 5 times combined so does that elevate them? the best thing they could do is have henry involved and have him lead the way feuding with the authority in the hopes of a true transitional hold or another shot (he should have beaten cena) and then also have kofi and big e go for the mid cards belts solo with interference or the tag title themselves..but the roster is too congested to really push them like that. at the least, they could all just outright turn heel and randomly attack people and fukk up their matches for a while and wait in the wings...i think they all need gimmick rejuvenation or an outright turn..but i think booking is just too reluctant to devote the focus on them that they would need as an angle especially if a bunch of other workers are going to be pissed. and booking with the wyatts directly could be a bit too risky for the little kids and draw negative press..theyre prob a little touchy with that after the minor backlash of the russian angle during the ukraine shyt..(although they didnt have a problem with the wyatts crushing them a few times)

obviously the E is on that :mjpls: but from a strictly booking perspective i think they just dont know if itd be a logistical fit even though itd be great for woods/e/kofi

they should make them go for the gold, tag belts, ic, us, then have one go for the wwe belt, then have them do a rock vs farooq 2.0 and kill it

They continued to push 3mb that shyt was a piss break, that stupid tag team with the bull gets no reaction , fandango still gets on tv.. There are so many things that they force on us but they gave thec3 black guys no shot.. Speaking y'all remember how prime time never win the title, how their manager was fired for being controversial, how Cryme tyme never won the title? Hell even when the original nation was hot farooq never won the title..

Honestly I think Faarooq could have been an excellent medium- to long-term heel champ as the Nation leader. He was cutting some of the most powerful and most underrated promos of that era. The Nation should have dominated for awhile as they protected Faarooq as the leader/champ.

As for this new version, they can't half-ass it. Either make them dominant or don't bother at all (and in this era, it doesn't seem like they'd be booked as dominant).

:patrice: this company is making it hard to stay interested at this point :pacspit:

Someone said Xavier got his ass kicked on NXT this past week by a random hipster :heh: then when I read that Big E jobbed Friday I knew it was over. Xavier Woods even went back to posting geeky shyt on social networking.

:snoop:

To be fair that was taped like a month before the racism article came out and Xavier been getting his ass kicked by that dude for the past month or so.
