There seem to be some, 'bitter, toxic, white masculinity' tropes at play with this group, which I don't care for. That's a dangerous archetype to be playing around with, right now. Seems like a bit of a stretch, unless "ex-vets" automatically = "every horrible anti-progressive stereotype" because McMahon family. |

Personally, I think Steve Cutler is solid, if unspectacular, and Wesley Blake might be the most underrated guy in the company. Given enough time, I think they'd develop into a fine team. It's Rykker and the lousy gimmick holding them back. Replace Rykker with Lacey Evans and maybe they get over.

Pair them with Lacey Evans and bring back Zeb Colter as their manager....that stable would be a whole lot better as some pro-America military militia group.

Put them with Corbin and go all out with the Sons of Anarchy gimmick. Like make it completely obvious. Iām talking motorbikes and jackets and everything.
Corbin needs a new direction and a new attire. And he looks like he would have fit right in with them back before the whole āConstableā shtick.

Since I'm back in the Mortal Kombat mood:
Fans: "Prove your worth."
Forgotten Sons: "You will remember our sting!"
Fans: "We've already forgotten your names."

They make Aces & Eights look like The Hells Angels.

Pretty decent team. Iām not a fan of their vibe at all, but theyāre good in the ring and Iād like to see them succeed. I didnāt recent until last week how doughy Blake is though. Personally, I think Steve Cutler is solid, if unspectacular, and Wesley Blake might be the most underrated guy in the company. Given enough time, I think they'd develop into a fine team. It's Rykker and the lousy gimmick holding them back. Replace Rykker with Lacey Evans and maybe they get over. These. I wasn't a fan, but the Dusty Cup help win me over to the extant that Blake and Culter are a good team, but yeah uck Ryker. |

Apparently thereās a real life Forgotten Sons MC that consists of soldiers. They donāt appear to be dangerous so it shouldnāt be an issue, but itās still kind of curious to name them after a real life thing.

In all seriousness I haven't seen enough to really have an opinion, but Jaxson Ryker is one of the shittiest names I've ever heard. Sounds like the name of a guy getting squashed on WWF Shotgun Saturday Night.

I'm really kinda put-off by the fact that Gunner's whole gimmick is basically "has PTSD". He's trying REALLY hard to forget TNA? |

Not sure that's a good idea with the current climate around white nationalism. Unless they get their asses kicked every single time by a strong face team. |

Steve Cutler looks like he could end your life in a heartbeat, but other than that - dull.
