Although all this has nothing to do with wrestling, I agree with the group saying that it goes: Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales (the big island) and the UK is where you add Northern Ireland. I think that's pretty much fact. The British Isles is a bit more debatable, Im sure alot of British people consider Ireland part of it (obviously geographically we're in the same group of Islands) but alot of Irish people would take offense at being grouped like that since, well, we're nothing to do with Britain I suppose so why would we be in "their" isles..

I wouldn't be a massive fan of a British faction to be honest. I hate gimmicks that are based solely on nationality. Plus you know they'd be heels. You know, not being American and all. I think we should have a stable of random Americans thrown together who have absolutely nothing in common, just because they come from the same country. And add some Mexicans and Canadians because they're from neighbouring countries. Haha, some European or Japanese promotion should do this.

I was thinking about this too. I would like to see a UK stable of Wade, Drew, Shaemus (not uk whatever) and have them be the snooty aristocatic types that thumb their noses at Americans, thinking they're all rednecks and hillbillies. I picture them like the Hellfire Club. Rehire Katie for the White Queen role.

I just want a wrestler from The Isle of Man. Wouldn't you mark for a man with this on his trunks? Rhaka Khan was billed from the Isle of Man. Which made no damn sense but there you go. Seriously? O____o. I can only think of the person having this gimmick, possibly Paul Burchill and Katie lea;

Hey guys, remember how we referred to McIntyre in this thread as a future megastar?
That was funny.

Prefer 'the British Empire' to 'British Invasion.' Title alone garners heel heat and makes for obvious patronising promos about re-taking the world, and the 'colony' of America.

That's what I don't like, it's obvious.
Regal's done this posh stick for years, he's from Blackpool, a lovely place but hardly posh. Have them all do different gimmicks, even with national stereotypes, Drew McIntyre as a drunk violent nutter, someone else a hooligan etc.
Heck have an American 'sympathiser' in the group, team him with someone doing a Rougeau style gimmick and call them the Special Relationship.

Give them all the old 'Hunter Hearst Helmsley' gimmick.
Blue Bloods, the lot of em'!
Some classical music for their entrance and dress them up like their going fox hunting. Give them horses too!....

Yeah I'd love to see that, when Masters is released again he could join and finally where that sombrero. I would like the idea if they use cricket bats as their weapon of choice.

Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland make up Untied Kingdom. Fixed. Great Britian is the Island that encompasses Scotland, Wales, and England. The UK is the countries of the above stateent that I fixed. I know this but someone who thought Scotland wasn't part of Britain isn't going to know what a United Kingdom is
