I haven't watched Raw yet, is this officially finished? Kofi was jobbing to Bo Dallas with no mention of the stable so he's back to where he was before.

And let's face facts, guys. Ferguson or no, Del Rio or no, this was not going to end well in any way, shape, or form. So, it's probably better this way.

This NOT happening, and the main event from last night just proves to me that I should just stop watching the WWE all together. Nothing interesting will happen for sometime.

I'm just glad we didn't get the promo from some white wrestler saying "THEY NEED TO WORK HARDER AND REACH FOR THE BRASS RING", as if that means a god damn thing. I wanted the white wrestler to be Zack Ryder, Alex Riley or Tyson Kidd. Basically someone whose lower on the totem pole than the black wrestlers calling them out for being "ungrateful" for their talent and the opportunities they have received.

I will miss the Kof-E team though Nation or Not they were a pretty good team.
Although I still don't get why Xavier tried to recruit them after a legitimate loss... it would have made a hell of a lot more sense in kayfabe if they lost via shenanigans.
edit: also I remember not liking Xavier on guest commentary that one time he did it.

They might have been better than the NWO or Horsemen but I can't put them ahead of the Brood.
(You have to watch Countdown to get this)

New Nation wants to bigger stars and not after thought losers and Zack Ryder comes out and tells them they should be lucky they're higher than they are and stay in their place? No thanks.

Because there was a plan for something, that apparently real life (this time, vs. the usual creative bobbly-wobblyness that can put the halt on a feud/angle) made quite awkward and undo-able. One word : Ferguson. What does Friar Ferguson have to do with this?

This is one of those rare times where I'm really happy the IWC didn't get what they want.
This faction would've been deader than Xavier Woods' first push.

No the idea would be that the stable is pulling the race card to justify their misfortunes while someone like Ryder doesn't complain about his misfortunes (anymore). The "afterthought losers" will suck it up, train hard, hope to get better and wait patiently for an opportunity to come along. Ryder goes to his buddy Hawkins' school in his free time. Alex Riley still puts in time training at the performance center despite being doomed to announcer-dom because he still hopes that one day his number will get called. Tyson Kidd is marathon watching NJPW matches and "studying" their techniques. .

The fact that WWE start storylines and then end them before they get any legs shows the problems with creative.
Sure the decision to run with a storyline or not should be decided before it gets underway on tv.

Goodbye and good riddance. I, for one, won't miss it.
Seriously, if the only way they can conceivably push someone with the talent of all three of them (it can't be reiterated enough how they shit the bed with Kofi years ago when MADISON SQUARE GARDEN was blowing up for the guy) is to put them in yet ANOTHER '90's rehash stable, then they need to clean house and get some people in Creative that can actually be, yanno, creative. No reason the best you can do with someone with Langston's charisma and power, someone with Kofi's athleticism and technique, and someone with Xavier's charisma and ring presence is to reduce them to some remake of a mock up of the Nation of Islam.
I get that "hurr durr, New Nation" is a meme and all, and that's cool, but all three of them deserve WAY better than that.

One day I hope New Nation, Green Attire Kane, Lex Luger, Dennis Stamp, Christian accompanied by Malaysian slaves, and Lord Tensai do a Nexus style take over of a random RAW main event and it is never replayed or referenced again.

I'm going to put my New New Nation 3 Disc DVD set right next to my Braden Walker 3 Disk DVD set.

They apparently were still together in a dark match at tonight's tapings.
