Inexplicably I quite kind of like it. I know, I know, I hate me too. I’m in that weird spot where I’m in the evershrinking minortiy that likes every guy involved, Lashley especially, so I want to see it succeed. But, it’s just objectively not over. Lashley was doing a decent job with Lio as his hype man as the IC champ I thought and that was just inexplicably and unceremoniously ended so that Lio has nothing to do and Lashley is left without a mouthpiece. This stable already flopped once before, why bring it back? See I think we're at other ends of the same scale lol I'm not really a fan of any of the guys involved, but by putting them together, I think the group is (slightly) greater than the sum of its parts. Maybe subconsciously I just hope that in grouping them together, each guy will be in fewer segments? Maybe I just want the other two to cover for Corbin's limitations. More than likely I think they've already been far more interesting - ganging up and powerbombing Braun through 2 tables is far more interesting to me than, say, Mcintyre beating up Dolph Ziggler or Lashley showing us his ass. But yes, I agree, they're not more over as a group and I would say they're not likely to be anytime soon, either.

I legitimately cannot think of anyone as all around uninteresting as Corbin who has ever gotten pushed so hard regardless. Like there is NOTHING the dude does particularly well and they keep trying and trying and trying

Even League of Nations were better than this stable. LEAGUE OF NATIONS, FAN! Now lets not get crazy. Sure, it had Rusev,but it was still boring I AM SOVIET Rusev. And it had Del Rio...DEL RIO! And Sheamus,I dont even remember who was the fourth. Barrett

They broke up the Lio/Lashley thing when it was barely in its infancy to make Lashley a heater for Corbin. That’s a head scratcher.
Lashley really has to be regretting coming back, he has been treated like a job boy.

Lashley really has to be regretting coming back, he has been treated like a job boy. Not really ,he is still being booked like a threat. He didn't have many embarrassing losses. Sure he debuted beating Roman clean and didn't get nese that level of push again,but not a jobber.All these 3 guys have been booked strongish, they are just boring. Plus I'm sure WWE is paying much more than tna was

But yes, I agree, they're not more over as a group and I would say they're not likely to be anytime soon, either. My opinion is the exact same as yours with regard to McIntyre and especially Corbin. But, I would consider myself a Lashley fan, or at least a Lashley apologist, and I just don’t understand why they killed his thing with Lio, which I thought was reasonably successful and well executed, to throw him back into this heat sink. It so clearly a case of “we want these guys to be perceived as top of the card, but we really don’t have anything for them to do.” And I like McIntyre’s non-WWE work quite a bit and think he could be a major player if he wasn’t constantly booked as either super-SRS or a goofball. Corbin? I like him alright and don’t find him as terrible as others on the board seem to, but he’s definitely the most in dire need of a stable to hide his flaws and I think they’ve grievously overfeatured him over the last year or so despite him not being particularly excellent at any one thing.

I don't know of they want to push Drew or not and I know Strowman is supposed to be a monster but three big guys not being able to take down one guy and they look scared, man it doesn't come off too good. Even visually on screen it just doesn't work. The much smaller Horsemen were able to take anybody down.

Tonight seemed like they again decided to just abort on this stupid thing given Lashley suddenly got Lio back, Drew was off doing his own thing, and Corbin got killed.
