This thread is gonna outlive the stable it's about. Technically, it already has. Doubt it’d beat the “Sin Cara as 60s Spider-Man” thread, though. My criteria for considering Retribution officially "dead" is if the members drop the nicknames and the gimmicks, as well as their theme. (Seems like Dijak & Dio are halfway there)

(Seems like Dijak & Dio are halfway there) Based on their promo in the last thread (the post-show one), I like the idea of them being The Titan Towers. *shrug*

If Slapjack shows up with the Retribution theme music and paper plate mask, the thread still lives.

That’s cool and all, but what about porcupines and hedgehogs?

Mace- It's TIME! T-Bar- It's our time! Narrator: It wasn't their time...

What a roller coaster this has been. And just to think it will all be perfectly wrapped up in a decade at MACE’s Hall of Fame induction when he thanks Ali and RETRIBUTION for giving him his platform to true superstardom.

I'll kinda miss these human buttplugs.
I hope they stick around in some other worthless faction so the mockery can continue.

Could be a NEW Retribution coming ? Remember all the rumors last year the releases were a work and Retribution would be the released wrestlers.
Well dammit can't wait for the names they give Bo Dallas, Samoa Joe and the Iconics when they debut in their Retribution get ups.

So, TBar and Mace kept their names and the Retribution music, but got generic attire now.
Oh, and they celebrated a countout win like they won the tag titles for some reason.

I'm going to repost this here from the RAW Thread because it's relevant: I can't F***ING believe T-Bar and Mace got unmasked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE HOLY SHIT WHAT A SHOCKING MOMENT AMIRITE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I legit hope the WWE tries to pass if off like they never got unmasked and their ID is a mystery. And then every week the announcers flip out in surprise as Retribution gets beaten like a government mule and gets unmasked. Basically treat Retribution like Kenny from Southpark. Nobody on the show ever remembers that they lost and got unmasked. Every week they are undefeated and unknown.

I like these dudes as a team but man they need to ditch the face paint. They look dope enough as is without it.

T-Bar is painfully boring. Hard to believe this was the same guy who was having bangers with Lee in NXT and doing shit like this: Like I understand wanting more big guys who actually wrestle like big guys (it's good to have a variety of in ring styles), but they've really doing him a disservice.
