I know that this is an Appreciation Thread, so I might as well ask: am I allowed to say anything negative in here?

[Madagascar Fred]

well Slater did pin Cena yes...thats about the only positive thing that can be said about the booking of the Corre tonight

[papagiorgio]

It made no sense for them to even lose the titles in the first place. It was about as dumb as Dolph getting the World title and then losing it.

WWE's best couple!!!

But man did that main event suck ass.

[Dub H]

I dont know,they did look pretty strong when they were kicking the WWE Champion ass for most part of the match.

But yeh,at the first parts Gabriel looked like a punching bag,but it was cool,tag team champions facing the two top mans on the company and winning.At least saying this way sounds cool

[TLKiller990]

I appreciate Heath Slater and Justin Gaybriel and their romance. Go ahead guys.

[papagiorgio]

Why did Slater just stare at the Miz and not intefer with the pin attempt? Slater, Jackson, and Barrett just stood there. Oh well, I guess I'm happy that Slater & Gabriel are still (again) the champs.

[Michael Coello]

I appreciate them. I'd appreciated them more if the division they were champions of wasn't s***.

[BigJerichool222]

They now tie MNM for the most WWE Tag Team Title reigns.

I appreciate the Corre.

[Andrew is Good]

They are a great team, in a world where tag team wrestling is pretty much dead. I guess they are a team by default, due to being in the Corre and being two standouts in Nexus. Tag team wrestling can be good again, and it can really get the crowd hot. Slater and Gabriel are a great team, but I also don't feel like they're a team, if you get me, just two singles coming together as usual.

Not only that, like, I think it's a good idea to keep putting the Miz over cleanly in matches. But I'm not a fan of make shift teams beating tag teams that have been teaming for awhile, especially the Champions.

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

Heath Slater is trending on Twitter

As I've said, they need more cohesiveness, but they're still very new. Give them time to gel (5 hours later...Gabriel's still doing his hair). Even considering the botch-tastic crapfest that was last night's main event, I saw considerable improvement from when they dropped the titles (the first time). More cheating, more interaction ("I know the rules, ref"- JG), and it wasn't a spotfest. Slater's move looked great last night (and the commentators said NOTHING! ARGGHH!)- it's heely, easily set-up, and fast. I think they call it the Ginger Snap, but I'd call it the Ginger Ale-ment.

I would like to see more double-team in terms of a signature move they could do together and well as double team cheating. I'm not sure what direction they will go with them. Slater makes a great stinky cheater heel, and Gabriel a great pretty-boy heel. I hope creative doesn't screw it up. So to sum up everything, I am pessimistically optimistic for the duo and slightly encouraged. Now, give them rivals....

*Otunga and McGilly raise hands*

No, not you two.

[DSR]

They need to get matching trunks. That is all.

[Tiger Maskooo]

I like gabriel and slater but man they need to turn babyface. At least gabriel does,that guys far too likable to be a heel for much longer. I think they could be a great babyface tag team if theyd find their characters a little more.

But theyre a good team. And I think gabriel will be a big singles star. He's shown alot more charisma than he showed on nxt. His match with cena a few months ago was astonishing.

<3 Rad Bromance!

They are, to me, the next Edge and Christian.
I love all the little background acting moments - they really make the most of their screen time.

They're cheesy, they're cute, they crush sternums!

[odor31]

The two teamed on the fifth ever episode of NXT, 11 months ago tomorrow. Who knew they'd be 3-time tag champs then??

[Bake Or Die]

I appreciate!
