Well, that explains Big E's series of tweets. I like all three of them as athletes, but the face New Day gimmick was too stereotypical for me, and that ticking time bomb went off in their faces after about a week, that is, starting the process between the fans not caring, to the fans just hating them. EDIT: Though I will give Face New Day that stupendous six man tag team match with Cesaro, Adam Rose, and Tyson Kidd on Main Event.
But that interview, some of the stuff during the match. THAT, that is some stuff that has potential to it. Big E busted out his hidden charisma for the first time in a while, told a decent story, and even Xavier Woods busted out some arrogance. AND, we could finally get heel Kofi.
This, well, New Day for the New Day, if this is consitant, I-I- LIKE it.

Nothing was more heelish than the green shit they were wearing

I loved that attire, way better than the baby blue.
I love when Big E lets loose. I want every promo done in his little kid voice.

I'll post this here, from the Raw thread, just because it was my favorite moment of their promo:

This is an instance where I think WWE just may have planned it to go this way. They made them sort of lame, underwhelming faces, having a good idea that it probably wouldn't set the world on fire. Then, turn up the stuff fans aren't responding to well, eventually driving the heat into a turn. It took a while to get here, but WWE did act as soon as the hate peaked.

Almost similar to Honky Tonk Man and his evolution from his debut into the heel he became

I never thought I'd say this, but Clap or Snap > Tap or Snap. And they didn't have to become the "New Nation" to do it.

The gimmick still sucks - face or heel. It's a lame, offensive gimmick that serves no purpose and it still hasn't explained why these three suddenly decided, out-of-nowhere, to become a faction. Name a reason and that reason can't be 'the WWE thinks all black guys get along'.
Why am I meant to believe if Kofi isn't clapping, he's snapping? He's been a career babyface that smiles when he loses and is always happy. There's been no character moments that make me believe he's a bottled up psycho that will snap your neck if he's not clapping.
I hate this gimmick.

They were straight up heels tonight. Kofi kicked Kalisto when the ref was turned.

Why are Tyson and Cesaro together? Because they're white? WWE is....racisty I know. Just thought I'd play devil's advocate.
Woods snapping into character in that interview was great. His little nod at Kofi cheating was great. This could turn it around.

Big E won me over as a fan tonight. He was absolutely on point.
Only complaint I have is that the announcers were horrible and didn't tell the story New Day was trying to tell at all. Made me really wish JR was back.

I guess mathematically speaking it is more likekly to be two white guys teaming than three black guys

New Day as faces did suck. This though, the ironic, "we're trying so hard to be nice so we're not nasty", deliberately OTT heel thing? This could be interesting.
Also god damn. If WWE wants a guy on top who can cut jokey promos with boatloads of charisma, Big E is their man. Dude is great.

Yeah, it does kind of seem that way, since they had plenty of times they could have pulled the plug if it was a failed experiment.
