it would work if they didn't include Woods. He has no flashy moves, no charisma, no star looks. He's just a guy and huge drop for Kofi, who can really be their star guy if pushed right. Kofi has great voice and can cut OK to good promos. Did you see on Monday that they made Kofi a f***ing slam poet? If they could do it right...like a wrestling version of Saul Williams would be amazing. I don't know how that could ever happen, but I want to see it.

Actually I think the real question here is whether these dudes are still going to get seagull pops every Smackdown. Raw was just a legit exposal, you know? Would the production crew still try to go down that road?

I want Big E. to be the one with the weird sense of humor, Kofi just chillin', and Xavier to be a legit cerebral assassin. I'm talking Hannibal Lecter like mindf***ery. Just break people down with real psychology.

So I'm just now catching up on Raw. Just saw the New Day backstage promo. Oh my God... So horribly painfully forced. Who thought that would actually work?

This thread title reminded me of when Taker stands up after losing to Lesnar, gets applause for his career, slowly stands up and makes his way through the ropes.
Then just as he's going through the ropes a guy yells from just off camera "YOU SUCK!"

These guys should be cashing in on the ferguson/ protest crap going on. Come out with there hands up and talk about being held down and never getting a shot. This is literally the worst possible thing they could do. Nah I think they are currently doing the worst thing to they could do.

It's much more insulting and stupid that they're doing a 'happy go lucky black church' gimmick. What's funny to me is that people want to complain about the "black church" gimmick being offensively stereotypical, but if Johnny Curtis, Zack Ryder and Ryback did the exact same gimmick, everyone would cry "culture jacking". You, as a Cena fan, should be the last person to worry about that. He didn't get any cries of 'culture jacking' during his Word Life phase. Looks like you forgot the basics of thuganomics...

He did Deservedly so. The white people appropriating the black church idea would be very problematic. A black church stable with black people is already at least mildly problematic.

I mean I know it's the WWE & they wouldmost likely COMPLETELY f*** it up but these three saying their not taking it anymore, and getting whats theirs & what they deserve & not coming out their to shuck, jive, & smile for people anymore could have been great storytelling. Instead now during these times when us black folk feel like we only have two images to us are stuck with the still irksome but slightly less HAPPY DANCIN BLACK GUYS gimmick.

Wouldn't a trio of white people doing the exact same gimmick pretty much by definition more be a mega-church gimmick instead of a black church one? Really the big thing that throws that interpretation out is those vignettes and their Titantron, if the people in them were more varied you could probably pass it off as that but, y'know, they aren't.
