After watching, I didn't mind it. I'm going to need to give it some more time, see some promos (and not just those vignettes) and such before I rush to judgement. The good thing is that they have time to tweak as need be.
They looked like they were having fun out there (as performers, to be clear), which is always a good thing, and I like two of those guys so if it gets them on my screen more, I'm all for it.

I think in the vein of the Shield's powerbomb, their team finisher should be a triple team jumping reverse STO. Heh, that was the default black man finisher for a while wasn't it? Dude, if there's a way for them to do a Triple Team Overdrive, that's what I'd say they should get.

All black wrestlers have the reverse STO in stock to be ready at all times. It's apparently a cultural thing. Not all of them use it, but trust me, they've got it in reserve.

What about a triple axe-kick? That would be pretty sick actually.

I still think this is possibly a red herring but then I also think Brie's heel turn might be as well and both of them can't be.
This stable will be heel soon enough though I suspect.

Kofi seems exactly the same happy-go-smiley character he been for 10 years now, Xavier Woods is the most punchable person in the WWE, and now I hate Big E simply by association. The big question is, will there be ANY character development? Ever? I really really doubt it. Seriously? Heath Slater is right there! And the only reason either of those two men are the most punchable right now is that Bo Dallas is injured.

Well, do you trust them to write a black nerd character without it being just like Urkel? No I think the only black character they can write is 'angry oppressed black dude' or 'happy go lucky like kofi kingston' What about David Otunga's lawyer gimmick? Sure, he hasn't been seen in months but it counts, right?

This entire gimmick can be saved if they do their smiling positivity stuff at inappropriate moments, like while a guy is being stretchered out, someone's doing a heartfelt speech about the potential end of his career, or a group of heels is beating down a babyface. So,Bo Dallas is their leader? Well, do you trust them to write a black nerd character without it being just like Urkel? No I think the only black character they can write is 'angry oppressed black dude' or 'happy go lucky like kofi kingston' MVP was a rich-athlete-better than you. And i don't know what the Prime Time Playas would be,not sure if happy go luck,or just fun loving.
