I love this team. All three of them. Ladies and gentlemen, this team is the future. Everything about all three of these people screams star. Was their first promo awesome? Not by a long shot? But, it was far from horrible. It was a great start. I think that with their good looks, if they have any of the talent of their father, Rikishi, or their uncle, Umaga, the sky is the limit for these guys. I like the fact that they are not the average, uneducated Samoan savage, but rather educated Samoan pretty boys with styles and mean streaks. Also, I am shocked that Jimmy Snuka can make a daughter that beautiful. I love these guys and as a person with Samoan heritage, it makes me happy to see wrestling moving forward in their portrayal of us.

Jay and Jimmy are alright in the mic but they should never let Tamina talk ever again.

They came out tonight looking and acting like The Rock as soon as he turned heel.

They came out tonight looking and acting like The Rock as soon as he turned heel. I disagree; but if they were, is that really a bad thing? |

I'm gonna go ahead and say it....they won't last long.
I don't like them. Their gimmick is annoying...."urban hipsters who speak slang and have a famous family....but also can get into the educated schools". Yeah...no.
Maybe once they get an actual match I'll care more....but not expecting to.

I really like them. Hopefully they won't pull the rug out beneath them because they are camera-ready and have a unique rhythm to their dialogue.
Snuka's daughter, on the other hand, made the segment come to a screeching halt. Keep the mic away from her.

(Otunga, Swagger, etc.) Maybe that's why the gimmick feels so stale. |

I'm impressed as hell so far. Hopefully they keep it up.

I changed the channel as soon as the girl started talking, but came back in time to see The Hart Dynasty beat down.
I like them, and its good to see two ACTUAL tag teams feuding.

I don't care for their gimmick, however they seem good in the ring, and IMO that will make up for a terrible gimmick ie Zack Ryder.

I'm still wondering why they were dressed like cast members of The Cosby Show though.

From reading the Raw thread i really don't get any Cryme Tyme comparisons. Cryme Tyme was a parody of what "street" is. The Usos' are street.
As for this thread, yes i really enjoy them and hope that this program lasts for a while.

I like them, I've liked everything I've seen from them in FCW and I have no doubt that they will do well, as long as creative remembers there's a tag team division for longer then 2 weeks.
One problem I have though is, if your going to actually incorporate the fact that they are Rikishi's sons, then why is their last name still Uso? Shouldn't logically their last name be Fatu, since we do know who their father is? Tamina has an excuse because divas don't get last names 80% of the time, so we can just assume her name is Tamina Snuka.

"Uso" means greatness, but you didn't hear that from me. I think it's supposed to be a nickname in kayfabe as well

I didn'tlike the racist comment they made (and wish WWE would stay away from stuff like that), but other than that, the promo was ok.
