you got Elijah Burke, Shelton and Kingston, add to that Cryme Tyme.. you would have had Lashley in there as well.. but the idea of re-creating a faction like this is better than ever.. i don't mean they come down with the african stuff, but to create a stable of them sounds promising and will get them huge exposure.
BRING BACK NOD.

I would like factions back but as long as the brand split is still there it can't work. And the NOD should stay dead, why does everybody think throwing all the black guys together is going to be a good idea?

No.
All the latinos need to make Los Buriquas, however.

Another New Nation thread? I mean the idea of black power is so old, hell it was old in 1997 and 1998 could we have african-american wrestlers not be militants just because their black. Seriously it's fans like you that ruined Muhammed Hassan!

Seriously it's fans like you that ruined Muhammed Hassan! i never said they should be and act exactly the same.. or be militants.. just to form a group based on NOD. sorry i didnt know there were other threads about this. |

It's cool, it's just a running joke, as the topic indeed comes up alot.
I don't really wanna see one. A faction maybe, but no need to do another Nation.

So, what's the motivation? They're black and they're pissed amicable?

No it's cool I see what you are saying now, they probably should be booked as the top athletes and as cocky arrogant assholes (ala Owens, Chad Johnson, Shaq) and not militants. I wouldn't phrase them as being "New Nation" because that would confuse people and not get your point across. |

They're black and they're pissed amicable? shelton was whinging backstage a couple months ago he was being held down because he was black.. so they start that up again.. then shelton hits the ring with the other guys.. and say they are fed up with this and want some respect.. estrada comes out and tells them they are nothing and puts them in a 5 on 5 match.. then estrada swerves and joins. it could work. better than what they are doing at the moment. |

Oh all the NOD hatred, I actually want an all black stable that doesn't use the Angry Black Men gimmick.
Is it too much to put a group of black men that can actually wrestle together?
Burke, Benjamin, Kingston, and ....well someone else of their calbre could be the next Horsemen.
I'm not saying a new NOD, but I have nothing against a new stable of all black wrestlers.

I don't understand why everyone wants teh Nation back. the Nation sucked until the Rock came and by then it lost it's original purpose. It was a group of militant black guys turned into a group consisting of a crazy pimp, sexual chocolate, the Rock, head bobbing D-Lo and Owen, token White guy.

How do these guys fit together aside from happening to all be black? There's no need to segregate every black wrestler.

I like it, and it doesn't have to be about black power. Remember Owen Hart was a member of the nation. Mark Henry could start it since he was an original member. Throw in Shelton, Burke and a non black guy - Knox or Thorn or somebody to show it's not about black power.
I love factions. I want to see more of them.

Kofi doesn't seem like he'd fit in a stable with any other of the black guys right now.
Shelton/Burke/MVP all have somewhat similar gimmicks, but they're not exactly gimmicks that lend themselves to being on the same "team" with anyone else unless they're the leader.
Cryme Tyme would lose their uniqueness as part of a stable, they'd probably be used as the fodder to protect the main guy.
Mark Henry or BDV would work fine as "backup" to someone, though BDV is already doing that with Striker, and Henry was too for a while.
Did I miss any black guys? Boogeyman lol.

Before the panning comes in about the NOD being a stable full of angry black guys, the original Nation of Domination had Savio Vega, Crush, J.C. Ice & Wolfie D. All not black. A few black guys in a stable = Cool. Angry Black Man gimmick = Not cool. Since stables are usually made to put a particular wrestler over (Horsemen: Flair, DX: HHH, Nation: Rock, etc, etc.), who would this 'New Nation' be built around? |

I'd say Shelton in the Farooq role with the eventual power struggle with Burke in the Rock role. |
