If it was Lars Sullivan's faction, they'd be dressed in all white instead.

The only way I thought to fix this was have Rusev as the leader of Retribution but .... I dead honest think Lara Sullivan will be a part of this. Lara Sullivan from Pyxis Oncology?! (I had to Google Lara Sullivan.) Lara .. lol I usually edit my spelling errors but nah

Guessing this has something to do with Retribution. Wish they’d stop being cryptic and get on with it

So much of this mirrors so much of what Bruce has done in the past, including Aces & 8's

How long has Retribution has been a thing now? Feels like at least a month. And nothing happens. And nobody exactly wants it to happen, more like - getting it over with.

Neat,
so WWE kept references to The Plague off the air, and some people took the charitable and not-really-unreasonable interpretation that maybe it was to help provide escapist entertainment in these dark times.
yet one of their month-long storylines is about to become too political for this board to discuss.
It's odd what the things are that makes even Reading about WWE feel like biting on metal for me. Last time it was "YOU WILL SEE SOMEONE'S EYEBALL REMOVED IN THIS MATCH, WE GUARANTEEE IT!" that made me block all WWE news/boards for a while. But I was pulled back in to reading about what was happening in WWE to seeing if Velveteen Groomer would actually get fired.
Buuut, it's hiatus time again.
I just want to make dumb f***ing references related to guys in their underwear doing stage-combat. That low a bar for fun shouldn't be that much work for the industry-leader.

Here’s what I will say;
Just because people on social media who may or may not (I mean, Dominic is but this is a general thing) be involved in an angle reference something controversial relating to said angle does not mean it’ll be referenced on TV. Big E’s promo about racism wasn’t referenced on TV during the Kofi storyline even though it was very very subtly hinted at on TV, to the point where it could be interpreted another way. And considering people still (rightfully) hold WWE’s feet to the fire for the Booker T WrestleMania angle, that says a lot that they could do that at all.
BUT
If you are a form of entertainment and have a deep history of not addressing topics like this in a manner that suits or doesn’t immediately annoy people involved or associated with it, just don’t do it. That’s not to say it can’t be done at all, has been done in ways by other companies but there is nothing that tells me WWE can do that. Absolutely none.

They gave themselves no chance the moment they were posted that shit on the website. They pretty much had to body most of your top guys in a real short period for it to work at that point and since that’s obviously wasn’t the plan, they pissed all over their own feet. The whole 'announced via the website' thing was two big mis-steps. Firstly, it robbed the group of it's legitimacy. What kind of anarchists announce their arrival via the official company social media? Secondly, it was announced they were going to 'shake up the corporate structure'. What a lame agenda! What, were there too many middle-managers in HR for their tastes? Rebels want to tear things down, smash the system. It reeks of someone who thinks that other people care who the chairman/general manager/CEO is. Corporate power struggles aren't anywhere near as interesting as those involved in them think, & certainly shouldn't be anything rebel anarchists are involved with.

Dio Maddin: It's me. I'm Retribution. *gets squashed by Braun in 5 seconds* I'm pretty sure the point was to always make these guys look like chumps with no direction. Honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if Retribution winds up being Dan Hibiki tier. They’ll be chasing R-Truth around for the 24-7 title by the end of the year unless WWE somehow turn this around quick. Nah, I take that back, that’s an insult to Dan and the power of Saikyo style. This is a reminder that Dan holds an official victory over Sagat.

Retribution needs to be managed by AI Max Headroom. Possibly while drinking New Coke.

The entire group just f***ing died tonight. Literally, Drew and Lee took them all out with Double Tope Con Hilo's while they brawled with the appaently face Hurt Business since they were the only guys who came out to defend the company
Seriously I don't know what the point is anymore. They just seem like a "Get out of booking free" card more than anything else, and how are they threats at all now when they all got laid out?
Are they being detained now? Are they unmasked? Don't know, the show ended, and I doubt WWE cares either...

It's Aces and Eights syndrome. Once you start unmasking these goofs it's like "Who?" and they lose all the mystery allure. The only real way to salvage it is to have someone like CM Punk be revealed as the leader.

Hurt Business is more credible than Retribution. Even the Mysterio family is.
