Wait wait wait... HOLD UP A MINUTE HERE, PLAYA... I’ve gotta say, T-Bar doing the usual Retribution spiel, then ending the tweet with a weird exception to their brand of anti-WWE terror is a formula that works, danmit. “WWE is a cesspool of indecency, an abomination that must be erased... That Mustafa Ali is a good bloke, though” This joke post I made... This was BEFORE they actually revealed Ali as their leader, right? And there was literally no hint of that happening before it happened, right? Man, did I predict this happening without even realising I was predicting it?

So... I guess it's kind of a good thing Retribution's masked men were phased out... because the optics of masked men invading and ransacking the place would not have looked good after yesterday.

Two things completely neuter this promo. 1.) Charly and Truth completely no-selling it. 2.) Ali bringing out the rest of Retribution with them being...Retribution. I wanted Ali to beat the hell out of R-Truth. Just thinking about this. Ali had all of Retribution there. It would have been so easy for them to beat the hell out of R-Truth and take the 24/7 Title, but they didn't. Not even Retribution is THAT desperate.

I'm not posting the tweet, but Kayfabe News on twitter posted a photo with the Retribution logo photoshopped over a flag from the events yesterday and T-Bar was really not happy about being compared to those people.

It's not exactly a great look for the group when they keep getting compared to current events and they have to keep going "WE'RE NOTHING ALIKE" Like their debut was literally played up to current events, in a shameless fashion. They've thankfully phased away from it since, but the stink is still there, and their logo ain't great for it either.

Which, honestly, is completely and utterly understandable. Having said that, it’d be foolish to completely rule out the idea that someone pitching the idea didn’t have those sorts of people in mind when coming up with this, just not on the side shown.

T-Bar is leading us to the promised land
By the promised land I mean this thread breaking 100 pages because this group refuses to die

Everyone in Retribution (save for Reckoning) are on winning streaks right now.
Also, they fought someone other than Ricochet tonight.

Yeah, I dont know if he worked himself into a shoot or is just being a dick, but it just comes off petty.
Could have at least done it in gimmick

Seems like from what I’m reading, he’s had this problem for years and at the very least purged his Twitter account before he got hired so that none of that stuff got out much.
Good to know he did that just to replace it with more goober content.

What was said to ambush T-Bar to stop him from tweeting and delete his tweets.
