They are a sad joke and no one is taking them seriously. Some ideas work and some ideas don't. This one hasn't.
If something is trending and a majority of the comments are people laughing at how dumb it is, just pull the plug. Anyone associated with this group is just going to look dumb.
Trying new ideas and seeing them fail is not bad, but trying to force it through when everyone thinks its a joke could seriously impact the careers of the people in it.
Is it really worth hurting someone's career because the person who came up with the idea has a big ego and demands to see it through?? It's not working. Take the feedback you see on social media, learn from it, and move on

Have it be one wrestler and just say the rest were random guys in masks helping him.

I don't get why they're not just like...moving to step 2 yet. We've had like 2 months of prologue. I wouldn't be surprised if this gets dropped any show now.

I swear if it ends up actually being the likes of Mia Yim and Dominick Dijakovic, not only does it not make sense because those two weren't cast aside they're getting very prominant NXT pushes, but it basically railroads them coming into the company to be shoveled this crap gimmick.
At least if it turns out to be the random EVOLVE people there isn't much risk even if it's a wet fart of a reveal.

Poor Retribution guy sounds like he had a nasty cold and needed a lie down tbh...

They finally talked on Raw about who they are and why they're there Looking it up, it’s still really vague. Like, it isn’t going to be a good chunk of the fired people since they’ve all moved on and the remaining people aren’t exactly anyone people will care about booing for. Also, “we’ll take out anyone that buys what WWE is selling” feels waaaaaaaaay too on the nose right now.

Maybe somehow they’ll all turn out great from this gimmick. They’ll eventually have badass music, cool gear and they’ll be showing huge charisma and they’ll dominate. For all we know, this could be the new DX or Los Ingobernables. Anything’s possible, I’m willing to be proven wrong.
But right now? It looks like Hipster Black Scorpion.

The one guy last night was 100% Dijakovic, he just had his voice disguised.

So I think it's obvious that 4 of the 5 here are Mojo, Mia, Dijak, and Maddin. Not too sure about the other lady. I've seen people say it's Chelsea Green, but she might be the mystery woman on SD.

He’s been on NXT for ages and his last match was for both the NXT and the North American titles. Actually, his last match was him getting killed by Karrion Kross, while Keith Lee stood outside and watched.

Hell no! I can’t wait to see what silly mischief they cause next. I’ll eventaully be pissed when the failed gimmick tanks my man Dijakovic’s WWE career, but I’m enjoying the stupid pointless ride until then.

So how exactly are Retribution supposed to be heel for trying to bring down WWE and not buying the office's bullshit when for the past 23 years or so WWE has been portrayed as an evil hellhole run by absolute monsters?

Pretty much. General inefficacy of the stable aside, portraying a group that’s firmly against WWE’s power structure as “evil” when the company IRL is doing really scummy things to its employees is certainly a choice.

Too bad they won’t be able to use YouTube or Twitch as a platform to spread their message.

Why? As they said, they're ready to go after all the "Superstars" out there.

If the angle had started with the promo yesterday instead of the WWE.com press release announcing Retribution's arrival and name, things wouldn't have been bad. Granted, the promo yesterday wasn't anything special, but it at least would've been something.
