Why are the NEWZ so obsessed. With a New Nation?

[Deleted]

Like they didn't accomplish much, were criticized at the time, was considered racist, and were mostly jobbers.

[BorneAgain]

Its more due to with the inherently laziness of a group that was seemingly formed by just putting all the black guys together (though that concept of the group only lasted less than a year (from July 1997 to April 1998). Hence the claims of New Nation seem largely in jest.

I haven't seen any "newz" reports of a new Nation of Domination. Just a few jokes about Big E. Langston (mostly because his attire is similar to some of the NOD tights).

[Mayonnaise]

I've never seen a news or even newz report on their being a New Nation. Most of that seems to come from here and be a running gag now.

Yeah. Any time there was more than two black guys in the ring at one time, someone always made the comment.

As per board tradition, 2 or more black wrestlers in the ring at the same time will be greeted with "New Nation!!".

I earnestly want it to happen led by a freshly heel-turned Kofi Kingston, who has reverted to his real name Kofi Nahaje Sarkodie-Mensah.

MVP can come back and join under his real name, Hassan Hamin Assad.

IIRC, there was also some brief moment during a draft where pretty much all of the black midcarders were on the same brand.

Kofi's name is a mouthful. Let's just call him Kofi Nahaje.

And MVP should still be named MVP, but instead of Montel Vontavious Porter, give him some Arab name with the same letters.

The closest thing we had to a New Nation was Team Kingston.

[gnr123]

Because it was during the Attitude Era. So anything from the Attitude Era is cool and needs to return.

[thegame415]

I think the New Nation is only talked about here.

I personally would like to see a group of black athletes who are cocky, brash football player types, you could have Kofi Kingston turn heel and pair him up with Prime Time Players and Big E Langston as the muscle of the group, would be an interesting group and could elevate Kofi as a big time Main Event player.

Mohamed Von Persia?

I tend to turn a blind eye to newz sites.

Now I'm just waiting for Kane to eventually debut his green and black DX outfit...

Alex Riley should join the group for a short period of time, a la CM Punk/New Breed. He immediately clashes with Kofi, and after beating someone like Ryder, the group comes out to celebrate Riley's victory, only to give him the Randy Orton/Evolution treatment and kick him out of the group.

Since Kofi would be heel, Riley would take Kofi's spot as "Token Midcard Face", only without winning the belts over and over to the point where we get sick of it.
