They're such damaged goods at this point.

Being called The Viking Experience damned them from the start, sorry. That's not the name of a wrestling team, that's an unwanted companion mobile app for the new God of War game.

I love the report that when HHH told them that would be their main roster name, it looked like you could pinpoint the exact second his heart ripped in half.

Oh boy, another heel turn! That means the Smackdown face roster consists of Drew McIntyre, Shinsuke Nakamura, Madcap Moss, Ricochet, Drew Gulak, and The New Day. And THAT'S ALL!! 7 people, including 1 tag team and 1 (2?) jobber. No wonder they have the same matches every show for months. There's no one else for anybody to go against.

Lordy, WWE's done such a job on these guys. War Machine was one of the hottest tag acts around the alternative scene, and that was after Rowe missed a lot of time following a motorcycle accident, and now I almost completely forgot about them.

They turned heel on New Day and instantly debuted far better in ring stuff that would have got them over as faces in the first place. Very WWE.

Nothing says heel like smearing grease paint on your face the way a 5-year-old would. They look more like pissed off raccoons, to be honest. But comparing Erik to a raccoon would be an insult to the raccoon species.

Weren't they just having like goofy Medieval times style hype videos for these guys? Anyway, Vince basically nuked these guys from orbit by having them debut with no fanfare... in a 50/50 feud with The Major Broskis... one of which just got off a years long losing streak... with one of the WORST name changes in history. They were over in NXT as the War Raiders as two big guys that beat the shit out of you. They needed either some sort of hype videos about Joining the Raid...or just have them come out and destroy a bunch of jobber teams in quick succession before facing off with the tag team champions... they really had no chance Hey you! Stop making sense! Acting like Vince gives a damn about a tag team not named New Day or Usos. I was a huge fan of War Machine in ROH/NJPW a few years ago. I thought with their look at least Rowe would appeal to Vince. I will sit over here in the corner and quietly eat my humble pie.

Basically a far right extremist group which wants to overthrow the US government and start a race war.

You can't be a fan of anyone these days because inevitably they will disappoint you for some reason. 🤦♂️

Somehow I've missed this story. I know Sarah’s actively posted about it, afaik Rowe is getting this from association but I could be wrong.

Erik is like the Von Wagner of the main roster for me.

War Machine was one of the hottest tag acts around the alternative scene, and that was after Rowe missed a lot of time following a motorcycle accident, and now I almost completely forgot about them. It's kind of amazing how they would probably have seemed poised to be in FTR's current position, while FTR weren't even a team until being put together in NXT by Dusty, and the two took to it like a fish to water and just snatched up that niche for themselves.

If they really wanted to turn uber heel they would bring back the constantly eating of turkey legs, but instead of turkey legs it's puppy legs.
No I don't mean actually eating roasted puppy. Just say the turkey legs are now corgi legs or something equally ridiculous.
