Gamer Scorpio is now canon. That's all I needed.

It feels like they settled into their act tonight and I really like it.

I f***ing love Dan Lambert so much. And the PVZ and Masvidal beat down of Jericho on Friday was f***ing so well done. He murderized him with the Askren Knee. And yes I am really trying to make the Askren Knee stick as the name of that move.
No wait!!! The Funky Knee is a way better name!!! Let’s push that one!!

Im liking the act. I know people don't like Lambert here but it's whatever. He's adding a lot to these guys and he has some really great lines himself.
Ethan destroying the WHAT chants by simply delivering an awesome promo was great. Shows why he's a star.

This whole segment rocked. Lambert, like Callis, knows exactly how to be a heel to this generation of fans and every thing he says is solid gold.
And I now mark for that theme music, I just do.

I want to like the unit
Lambert is annoying in the right way but he needs to cut a minute or so out his promos. They go on just a bit long
And they need to ditch Scorpio, my enthusiasm wanes as soon as I see him

Lambert talking shit is a weekly highlight for me. I would complain Page’s promo was too shouty but he was trying to shut down the ‘What?’ chants so I’ll give him a pass.

I think Dan Lambert just gets it. He knows how to put both himself and the gimmick he's playing over, but not over shadow the guys he's there to promote.
Ethan Page has bags of charisma, this should do wonders for him if it plays out well.

They go on just a bit long And they need to ditch Scorpio, my enthusiasm wanes as soon as I see him Lambert cutting his promo and then handing the mic over to Scorpio Sky goes over about as well as a helium balloon hitting power lines. I feel like the value of having Lambert as the mouthpiece for them (in particular Sky) is wasted by having Sky suck the air out of the room by trying to talk.

Scorprio very much stands out to me. I think Scorpio’s meant to be sort of a ham who can really go. People make jokes about the video game thing being canon but that’d get him over. SCU was a silly gimmick all things considered but it was funny and all three were also entertaining in the ring. I can’t take him seriously during the promos. And Lambert & Page seem more in-sync

Scorpio's promo was actually pretty good imo. He wasn't as good as Ethan but there was nothing bad about it at all, nor was there anything bad in the one he did on Elevation.

Scorpio honestly is fairly harmless on the mic. He was easily in last place of this promo trio, but Page was going to blow him out of the water any day of the week, both in promo and just since Page has this energy to him. He commands attention.

I will never understand the outright apathy Scorpio gets on this forum specifically. Like he isn't the best promo in the world or anything but his Elevation promo was GREAT and he basically just said more of the same here but live on Dynamite. There was nothing really offensive about it. He's a cocky asshole who thinks he's hot shit and has been overlooked. Idk to me he doesn't ruin anything about the act. Page obviously I think stands out more than him because Page is downright a special talent. But I think Scorpio is ok here.

How I'd do it:
1) Dan Lambert walks out the tube randomly with FTR without explanation, all cutting a blistering promo criticizing millennials and their wrestling preferences.
2) Ethan Page goes solo, having the same types of 4 star matches he had with Willie Mack on Impact. One of my only reasons to watch that.

Lambert is obviously having a great time and trying to help Sky & Page get heat. That segment last week was brutal until Jericho told him that he didn't hear a word he just said. Too much attention is on Lambert and that promo was getting into Genesis of McGillicutty rambling.
Paige VanZant is the one who actually looks like a star in the group.

I'm glad to see Jericho has those priorities here.
