They'll be like Hassan. The promos will be grounded in fact and the announcers will be instructed to blindly oppose them anyway

"Cause I'm here to tell you, the chickens is coming home to roost, y'all. The black man's no longer gonna play the minstrel in the medium of sports-entertainment. We keepin' it real, and we gonna get respect by any means necessary!" Cesaro is now a Xavier Woods guy and will play the role of Crush. You can't just put any random caucasian in the role of Crush in the New Nation. It has to be someone who (like Crush) is a hardened criminal. So congratulations Emma, you got the gig!

My only question is, why was Xavier dressed like Brother Love?

What's the matter with you?

It is going to ring a little hollow when Kofi starts bitching that he never gets a shot at the WWE Title because he's black, when he loses pretty much every match and is tapping out to ADR every week.
At that point, you're killing the last suspension of disbelief when it comes to the matches themselves.

I don't want this to sound bad, but I have always wanted there to be some smart, dangerous,and legit thugs in the WWE. They should add Mark Henry,RTruth, maybe even Booker T if they feel crazy, then pretty much make them The Shield who speak in ebonics. I mean that in the most awesome way possible. Me too. I've always wanted a group of New Jack-esque thugs that were pushed as a serious threat. New Jacks Time To Shine Is Now. Just have him come in and stab a few people in some New Nation Beatdowns. Like Miz for example

Earlier on I was in the shower with my soon-to-be wife doing her hair a couple feet away, and I was thinking about this whole thing... and here's the funny nonsensical image that came to my mind.
The group runs in on some match or whatever and Joey Styles is on commentary. Joey's reaction? Yelling the plural n-word in that high pitch voice he used to yell "CATFIGHT! CAAAATTTTFIGGHT!!!!!!"
Then I imagined the tsunami of shit that would have followed online, and in the media... then I smiled, then I corpsed and then I LAUGHED OUT LOUD, under the shower, with my wife looking at me like I'm a madman. And she's NOT a fan, so I can't explain in any way she'd understand. The "It's a wrestling thing" explaination was satisfactory, thank god...
Ahhhh wrestling.

I must admit that the timing with what TNA is doing with Lashley and this is pretty hilarous.
But it will never work with these three bozos. Xavier has the charisma of an eggshell. For it to work, get the Truth as spokesman.

If R-Truth was the mouthpiece, he could bring the conspiracy stuff he was babbling while he was heel. And maybe the return of Little Jimmy. Little Jimmy can be the mascot of this new faction.

I'm not really getting the excitement for the return of the Nation of Domination when these guys aren't The Nation. Short of Kofi's insane spots, all three guys have bland personalities in the ring. Compare that to the talent that encompassed the original Nation of Domination.
Faroog/Ron Simmons The Rock Kama/The Godfather D-Lo Brown Owen Hart Ahmed Johnson Mark Henry Clarence Mason
Xavier, Kofi, and Big E have some big shoes to fill.

Saw the main event match, and frankly, I'm sold. I liked Big E, anyway, but had cooled on Xavier and Kofi.
However, Big E and Kofi had a lot of chemistry, and Kofi actually felt fresher for it. Xavier did a pretty good job in their corner, too, so I'm optimistic. God knows we needed more teams, anyway.

All I know is, in the RAW Thread we were tempted with the possibility of Heath Slater joining this group and donning a Dashiki
And DAMN IT, I want Heath Slater in this group rocking a Dashiki!

So why is Xavier starting a group without including Truth? Did they have a falling out that I forgot about?

So Mark Henry is coming back to be the leader to pay homage being in the original Nation?

Wait, wait, you're talking about in-ring talent and including Rocky Maivia (hell, even as Rock he was never really that good), the Godfather, Ahmed Johnson, and pre-ECW Mark Henry?
