Eh, it should be obvious they can't capture the magic that was Booker T & Goldust. R-Truth can still do funny stuff, and Goldust would have better worked as a humble veteran looking for one last run, but WWE took way too long with this team to start it. Plus, they aren't winning the titles any time soon if at all. Kind of a waste + some bad writing. I liked Booker T & Goldust, but I think it ruined Goldust in the long run because (aside from teaming with his brother Cody against The Shield/Authority) he got pigeonholed as a comedy lower carder.

Vince: "I wanna write for someone again!" HHH: "Pops, you know that after what happened with Roman Reigns we can't-" Vince: "Gimme somebody dammit!" HHH: "Pops, we talked about this an- Vince: "Gimme Golden Truth! HHH: "Like I was saying, we can- wait- did you just say Golden Truth?" Vince: "Gitgitgitgitgitgit" HHH" "Yeah, you know what, you can totally write for Golden Truth."
Is why Golden Truth are shitty.
But then that would mean that Vince is writing Pokemon Go sketches. which is kinda awesome.

They are stupid. They're trying to recreate Bookdust but are failing at it. Chris Jericho is far worse in my opinion though. I can at least dismiss Golden Truth as insignificant time wasters but Jericho is just pathetic in 2016. I don't find him entertaining in the slightest and he looks absolutely ridiculous. What's worse is that people complain about Cena hardly ever losing matches etc but neither does Jericho and he gets a free pass basically.
He wins a hell of a lot more than he should be doing at this point. It's not that a win over him in 2016 means anything but still...it's ridiculous. So to close everything out (in my opinion only) Golden Truth is a cheap knockoff of a better team from 14 years ago but Jericho is a hell of a lot worse than them.

Make Darren Young Still Suck Again Why, oh why couldn't it have been "Make Jack Swagger Great Again" Make Darren Young Suck Slightly Less? I'm sure his boyfriend wouldn't like that.

Why, oh why couldn't it have been "Make Jack Swagger Great Again". Would have fit with the America thing, Swagger actually being a former World Champ and him being a great wrestler with nothing to do who needs a manager because he's highly suspect on the mic. As one of Swagger's biggest fans on the forum, I am equally depressed and angry that I never thought of that and that it isn't happening. Good lord, Swagger and Backlund would have been amazing

MizTv is probably worse, and I like the Miz.

Truth and Golddust are two well respected veterans who have been in the business since forever and both guys have had their shares of amazing runs but eh....yeah. Two middle-aged guys going around chasing Pokemon every week doesn't do it for me. These guys would be an invaluable asset backstage though.

That award goes to Cass and Enzo for me.
They ruined two weeks of shows from the get go with these segments. Aside from coming out and spewing the same catchphrases, they aren't really adding to the show. You can make the same argument with the New Day but at least those guys can go in the ring and change things up a little.
Add in a guy well past his prime in Jericho who is also dragging Kevin Owens down and you have a recipe for disaster.

Shining Stars, Del Rio, Steph, Nattie, JBL... nope not even in my top 5.
That said they are usually rubbish so it's a valid opinion but at least I found the first show they played Pokemon Go mildly amusing.

I don't normally disagree 100% with someone but..damn.

Enzos promos have been a bit weird lately. But Cass is still hitting that awesome big boot so he's still great to me.
But yeah golden truth sucks. It doesn't work because they keep flip flopping on who's the straight guy and who's the wacky guy every other week. Bookdust worked because goldust was the wacky one to booker straight guy, but bookers' over the top reactions to goldust antics were hilarious.

Stupid team. If they wanted a odd couple tag team just seperate them send R-Truth to Smackdown where he can team up with Crews or something and give Goldust a singles run where he isn't dancing and doing that dumb stutter. Goldust was one of my favorites for many years but now I'm sick of him it's hard to watch knowing what he is capable of and now it's like he's doing everything to drive the fans away.

On-screen Steph is still probably the worst thing in the company for me. To think she will more than likely running the place once Vince is gone sickens me.

Worst thing? No.
Total walking dumpster fires, unfunny, embarrassing old men who need to admit they're not contributing in any positive fashion at the moment? Yes. Absolutely.
