I mean, the silly half fur vests. Stoles really. The howling. The pointing. I can't take these guys seriously. Also, the way they came in. Kind of douchey. "WE'RE TOO GOOD FOR A TRYOUT MATCH".
Also, the flap jack into a kick is pretty lame. 90% I find kicks cooler than punches, but it doesn't look good. Cesaro's Flapjack Uppercut looks like death however.

As a Wolves fan they've almost become a complete write off to me now, it's like they've ceased to exist. The jackets are lame, their howling is lame, they're surrounded by complete goofballs while TNA tries to convince us this is a competitive tag division it's silly.

The howling doesn't really work. I think they need just a tweak to the gimmick to make it all fit, though I can't put my finger on what that would be.

Between 4 foot tall Davey and Fauxhawk Eddie, it's hard to get excited for their never ending series with the BroMans

Between the on life support tag division, the vests and the howling it is not looking good for their TNA, IMO. I'm not big on the way things seem to be shaking out for them at BFG either. I just don't get why they cannot be remorseless wrestling machines who earned that name by how vicious and pack like they are instead of the Russo special of fur and howling.

I celebrated the day they left ROH because that's my favorite promotion and they were my least favorite part of it.
I hope Panda Energy hits the motherload so they keep investing in TNA so they keep the Wolves so they don't go back to ROH.
If they changed their name to Vanillican Midgets, maybe ...

I am in the minority here as I loved the Cornette-run era of ROH where the Wolves were constantly in the main event picture. Of course Adam Pearce was the better booker and gave us blockbuster shows with Lynn, McGuinness, Black, and many other wrestlers. People give the Wolves a lot of crap for their lack of selling since they do the strong style form of wrestling, but I think more people would like them if TNA made changes to their characters like Numero99 stated.

They never look like they're enjoying themselves out there.
I mean, look at someone like Bryan, another ROH son influenced by strong style. He knows how to fire up the crowd and time his moves to build anticipation, and he has that same look in his eyes during comebacks that Hogan had. There's something infectious about him, whereas the Wolves just go in and hit the flips without any meaning behind it, with the same blank expressions and occasionally generic shout from bell to bell.

The Wolves are like a parody of themselves at this point and it's not their faults. That's on TNA for the non-existant tag division

They look like geeks but they have actual talent so I can't totally hate them. Just have them dress in black.

amazing what a change of venue and an alert crowd can do
their debut fell flat because tna's been stuck in the impact zone and nobody had a shot at getting over for the most part. tonight's show at the manhattan felt like the first time i actually saw the american wolves on tv. felt good.

An actual tag division might help. This is a complete farce.
