Noble/Mercury as the New Stooges?

[Deleted]

Can we please make that happen? Maybe not taken up to 11 with all the potty humor we all "loved" from Pat and Gerry, but as an alternative to Kane and Orton looking like knobs every week. They always try hard and have enthusiasm for the job, but somehow always screw it up. Both guys could still go in the ring when needed, and Jamie Noble needs to be on TV every week.

Anyone else want more shenanigans from these two?

Oh, and bring back Big Johnny as the guy one rung above them in the Authority power structure. MNM: Mercury, Noble, and "Mister Excitement" John Laurinaitis.

I thought Noble retired from in ring action due to health concerns

They really need Finlay.

He's the only competent one out of them (in kayfabe terms for the team), you REALLY need a semi-competent henchman in a group to make it seem like they MIGHT succeed at some point. Having just a bumbling duo strains credulity as a possible threat.....I call it the "Bebop and Rocksteady postulate"

[fw91]

only if the hardcore title comes back

[jdsnelson]

I was thinking about that too and have enjoyed seeing these two along with Finlay and Malenko make appearances. I don't know about making Malenko and Finlay seem like goofs though.

Finlay can be the new  Slaughter, it'd be amazing

Just don't let Mercury near ladders.

They were referring to them by name on Raw so it seems like it.

Malenko would totally be the type that would be down with being made to look incompetent considering his sense of humor. The whole iceman thing was an actual gimmick oddly enough.

Having said that, Noble and Mercury should be the fail lackeys. If Triple H has something that CAN'T be messed up, he should call on Finlay. Finlay should be "The Wolf" that Triple H calls on to solve problems.

Finlay: "One Xavier Woods... in the trunk... minus a head."

Now I'm just picturing Finlay as the WWE equivalent of Mike from Breaking Bad.

This sounds like the greatest thing ever and I'll be pissed if it never happens.

I love seeing more of Noble and Mercury. Jamie is always good for a laugh.

Or Noble near Sheamus.

[ASYLUMHAUSEN]

i just loved the fact that they gave the guy with the THICK Wyoming County, WV accent the majority of the dialogue.

Good times.

I remember reading that he worked a house show match against Daniel Bryan last year in Yakima(?), WA, so he must be in good enough health to do some bumping.

[Push R Truth]

Noble's schtick is perfect for a stooge.

I'll allow it

[jemtruman]

I totally loved it last night and am board with wanting it more often.

[sunnytaker]

i did like ambrose's line about the Authority sending out the cruiserweight division to get the briefcase back. finlay needs to be there though too- as the guy who keeps grabbing/smacking Noble and shoving him away out of camera sight right after he says something stupid to HHH/Steph.

[thegame415]

It would be great, and if booked right, could be comic relief.

[Abdullah]

If it eventually gives us a break from Corporate Kane, I'm all for it.

[mizerable]

I think Gunn and Dogg should be stooges too. I like the idea of Corporate D-X.

Hell, bring in X-Pac. Have him cut his hair, shave the beard and slick back the hair.
