I was bored the other day & did some looking around on wikipedia at wrestler profiles inc Umaga's...It jogged my memory back to his time in 3 Minute Warning, anyway...
I was thinking maybe they bring this back in a newish guise...
To debut it:
Wrestler is in-ring doing a promo when a clock appears on the big screen with 3 minutes on it, it counts down quietly & no one really pays attention until the last 10 seconds when the beeps cut the promo short & 3 wrestlers appear, one on the ramp & the other two in different parts of the crowd (unsighted so the in-ring wrestler thinks hes being stopped by just one wrestler) queue them rushing the ring to attack whoever.
To follow it up:
Over several weeks the clock appears, be it during in-ring promo's, backstage or during a match...no one knows where it will happen, so if a match finishes before the 3 minutes is up the attack takes place where ever the 3 minutes expires.
To introduce the people involved:
You have the general manager in-ring & the clock comes up, every one thinks 'oh no the GM is gonna get slapped about!' & they come in, look at him menacing, then smile n all shake hands. Its been a ploy by the GM to stop rubbish matches, too much chatter & other stuff. Then whoever they've attack over the previous weeks become thier fueds for the PPV's & TV.
What do you think of that idea?
Who would you want in the stable if it did come back?

3MW should be brought back. Ryan Braddock & Gavin Spears are the ONLY worthy candidates.

It would be interesting to combine that with a smaller heel character who can talk really well (Richards jumps to mind). Have him openly state several times that he's going to save wrestling and stop the "boring matches and droning speeches."

I don't think you can do this gimmick with just anybody. The 3MW gimmick worked because you had two big scary Samoan thugs who could take out pretty much anyone. If you did the same thing with two average-sized guys, it wouldn't be a big deal. It would just be two guys running in on a match or promo.

If they brought Rosie back in though and put him together with Umaga though (keeping his current makeup and gimmick, not going back to the hip-hop thug bit) I'd mark for it. |

i like the idea, just think about a stable of undercarders that want clean the wwe of crappy segments and generic wrestling, it will be like a mix between J.O.B. squad and ready to censor

Weird, I was just thinking about 3MW earlier today. It's a good enough idea to bring them back, but I don't think a blatant incarnation is the way to go. I would rather see Jamal and Rosey with Rico, but then again Jamal is having more success as Umaga than 3MW would have ever gotten him.

I'd like to see 3MW and La Resistance make a come back. They'd really flesh out the tag division now.

CM Punk should lead 3 minute warning. His group can lead the crowd for their washroom break during those 3 minutes.

I'd like it, I loved 3MW until they added Rico.

I always thought the name was kind of stupid...what sport has a three minute warning? And weren't there only two of them when they debuted? Two Minute Warning?

That idea rules.
The 3 minute clock on the titantron should be like a timestamp too, so everyone thinks it's a glitch.

I think Bischoff would have been perfect to lead a team of huge badasses like 3MW
