The Russo in me thinks this is a stable entirely created to reintroduce Hulk Hogan as a heel to the WWE. A King Social Outcast like Hollywood Hogan as a heel manager = nuclear heatz.

Sandow would make more sense than Adam Rose. Rose literally had a party that followed him around. He only became an outcast once he started gossiping and making fun of people. Ah well.

I love it all. And I really hope this means they are getting back to my favorite thing about the attitude era: Everybody had a story.

"Everyone had a story and most of them were terrible." Which brings an interesting point: What is better, bad story has some level of commitment to it or little-to-no story that doesn't really matter? One brings us tales such as Mark Henry and Mae Young's lovechild that was a hand who later grew up to be the Smackdown Fist. The other brings us random matchups that might be fun, or might just be another rotation of Alberto Del Rio's Wheel of Aggression. Both have positives, but in my opinion at least really bad story gets me to laugh. But I am not going to pretend I speak for everybody on that topic. I know I'm a strange breed when it comes to the absurdities of wrestling.

Are they supposed to be socially awkward? Rose seemed to be drugged up, Axel was a loose cannon, Bo was his usual delusional happy self and Slater was, well, Slater.

Looks like the social media experiment is a success. The stable only works if they remain social outcasts. No uniformity outside of being unified by the bonds of social misfits banding together. The moment they start matching gear, it is done.

He paid them to follow him around, they were his performance art. Fair enough. Still, I bet even Tommy Dreamer would have hung out with him if he hadn't of made fun of him.

I Tweeted to John Pollock about the fact that he buried the Social Outcasts on Review-a-Wai by saying that if it were up to him, the Social Outcasts wouldn't even be on Superstars. I say... give jobbers a chance. EDIT: He replied.

I'm glad they are on TV, Slater is a WV boy like me, so I've always been a fan. Sandow needs to be on my TV screen as well damnit!
They will either get a push, or destroyed by Cena 4 on 1 next week for no reason.

Slater: Nexus Corre 3MB Social Outcasts Name me someone who has joined more stables. You can't. Add Sandow to the mix for the group and you have the "Five Horsemen". Rick Rude: Paul Jones' Army The Heenan Family The Dangerous Alliance DX The nWo And he appeared with all these groups on different shows all on the same day.

He paid them to follow him around, they were his performance art. People also choose a freak in a bunny suit over him. If that isn't the definition of an outcast, it is damned close too it.

I'm kind of bummed though that Brad Maddox got fired not long before this happened. Considering he and Rose were doing an emo gimmick before he got fired for saying "prick", this could have been his chance to get back in the scene.

The moment they start matching gear, it is done. I want them to have matching gear, but I want it to stretch "matching" out as much as possible. One dude would have Social Outcast boots, another would have a cape, another would have a giant necklace, and one would have a hat that's in the wrong color.

Cocky Pricks would of been a good name for the stable. I'm still in shock that these 4 jobbers are actually going to be a thing for awhile.

I want them to try uniformity but everyone has conflicting ideas over how they should dress and what their look and theme should be. Axel: "I'm telling you guys.... thinning hair combed forward is totally in right now."
