I see some good stuff in their future if they keep this up. They were funny, they looked like they were having a blast, the powerbomb finisher looked SICK (But as someone else said, they are going to have to work on it to do it right), and they are starting to pick up a bit of stream in the tag team division.
With the right amount of buildup, I wouldn't mind seeing a tag team title run with them.

I only caught the very tail end of the match, but they looked pretty great.

Titus has come a loooonnnggg way and Darren's always been solid. Now he finally has a decent enough look too.

Liked Darren for a long while but Titus I admit to not caring for. After their showing on Smackdown the last two weeks though I approve of the team and the proper tag finishing move.

I liked them. At first I wasn't sure on them and I still don't like that they don't have a tag team gimmick but other than that they are a breath of fresh air and if WWE really wants to they can develop more of a proper tag team gimmick for them where they wear similar gear, get a tag team name and all that.
I have to speculate though on why they didn't just keep Percy and Titus together though since they obviously look more like a team. I have a few theories and I'm not sure if any of them are right.
Theory 1. WWE thinks they are too tall and would look too dominant in a tag team division.
Theory 2. Titus still isn't up to par as a singles so they put him with a solid wrestler in Darren Young.
Theory 3. They see a lot in Percy and think he can make it as a singles a lot easier than Darren or Titus.
I really don't know. I liked the team of Percy and Titus while they were on NXT but Young and Titus have very good chemistry together. In an odd way their comedic ways remind me of Edge and Christian.

I hope it's number three, because Percy COULD be a solid singles guy.

Man, they made a fan out of me with that segment tonight but they have to do something with that finisher. I'll also say that I hope that they think Percy Watson could be a singles star and that's why he hasn't gone with them to Smackdown.

If they can't see the potential in Percy Watson as an upper midcard to main event guy they are freaking blind. As for Darren Young I think he is good in the ring but I think he has finally found a niche with Titus. I never would have thought that they would be this good together as a tag team. BTW I really love that they did a chest bump on the entrance ramp. I've been saying for years that we need a tag team that does a chest bump. lol ;D

I love me some Percy Watson, but something just isn't clicking with him at the moment and he comes off pretty corny almost every time he's on the mic unfortunately...

Give Percy his glasses back and watch the money roll in.

Give Percy his glasses back and watch the money roll in. I honestly think he can get over without the glasses. As far as his in ring stuff goes I think he is ready enough to get up to that next level. He could use some more work on the mic but that will come along. And even if it doesn't he is still more interesting than Randy Orton who couldn't cut a decent promo to save his life.

I remember telling folks a while back that Titus O'Neil was becoming somebody that took a nonsensical heel turn and ran with it, but they were all LOL WUT Titus O'Neil sucks. Now I'm seeing some of those same people hitchin' a ride on the bandwagon. All I have to say to that is you're lucky there is still room and I didn't bring my kicking boots with me. "An appreciation thread for me?" Same here. Titus won me over with his heel turn on NXT and his new found charisma.

I kinda wish they would have been a tad less racist. Unless that's their gimmick, which could potentially be amazing.

As I said in the main thread, they are like the male Lay Cool. Soon they'll be calling Brodus Clay fat.

"An appreciation thread for me?" If I was one of those people, I sincerely apologize and will eat my hat. Titus is freakin awesome, I really think he could be a World Champ one day. Now shove over and let me on that wagon! WWE needs more guys like him, former football players with that natural swagger and explosiveness to go along with the size they like. JR would've signed the hell out of him.
