...are a drag. All are great wrestlers, but this story. They aren't really pursuing titles or trying to take anything over and their endgame appears to be the corruption of Dominic Mysterio.

Yeah. Rhea’s the only one that feels right. Ideally REdge kills ‘em off. I would imagine Haitch wants to take his boys and transition them both as singles and resembling how they were under his watch.

Remember when the Joker stole all of the mob money and then set it on fire? That’s what will happen here, they’re going to light Dominic on fire. Some people just like to see the world scrubs burn.

Yeah it's easily the biggest sore thumb in the new regime right now.
It sticks out since they had just turned Balor (who is doing his best with what he was given), and the fact they still use the same presentation for the group that was meant for Edge makes it feel even more meh.
I'm honestly surprised they haven't just disbanded the group already.
Also Edge should never have left it after like 3 weeks, that was beyond stupid.

I have hope they can right the ship. The parts of the whole… the presentation… the talent. It’s all there.

I think they're better off now than they were as an Edge group for sports fans. In fact just writing it out it all sounds a bit strange.

I think dropping the 'spooky' parts of the act and focusing on them being a bunch of arrogant violent jerks has helped considerably. Rhea being back has also been a noticeable boost. It depends on how this feud with Edge/Rey Mysterio (and presumably soon Beth Phoenix) goes, but another alternative for their future is splitting them at the draft, keeping Finn/Priest as a tag team if needed.

Well, you see, the thing about the Judgement Day is… Dominik Mysterio is an idiot.

I'm a fan of Finn and Priest, but I completely tune out when they don't have Rhea around... and the stable's still kinda lame even with Rhea.

I'm just wondering why we're supposed to take these guys seriously as a dominant heel stable when they literally haven't won a match as a team.

More people should do what Miz did - repeatedly call Dominik a loser and a useless clinger on, squash him repeatedly, then move on.

Imagine spending this much time on Dominik and not trying to win titles. We don’t really have room to talk shit about anyone “spending this much time on Dominik”. But yeah, it’s a weird situation here. They’ve clearly got an endgame in mind (bringing in a woman to counteract Ripley, presumably Beth Phoenix, who has been gunning for a match with Ripley for years), but they’re just dragging out that part of the story past even Clash At The Castle (the rumoured match is Edge v Balor).

I don't know what you're getting at. I definitely don't have an entire Tumblr dedicated to how much I hate Dominik. {Spoiler}I really don't.

Yeah, even if Judgment Day isn't all that great, do we need Balor going back to being the stale babyface he was beforehand? Do we need split personality Damien Priest back? Rhea going back to being just another person in the women's division?

I think there's a reasonable chance Beth appears at the Toronto Raw in two weeks. And the challenging thing about dragging the story out is that at least in Rhea's case, the top card is already worked out with the Bianca/Alexa/Asuka vs Control stuff, which looks like it will go on for at least another month. (It seems safe to assume Bayley will challenge Bianca after the 6-woman tag.)

Edge: so we're a dark and broody supernatural gimmick like I'm an elder vampire type character and then I cut promos insulting local sports teams... and give generic you people heel promos... and I also most definitely need to have magic powers that are not explained... nor make any kind of sense... that I will never use in meaningful or even novel ways... and again I get kicking Edge out of the group in theory since again the heel turn WAS NOT WORKING... but... turning Finn heel when the crowd has been begging to f***ing cheer for him forever... was a boneheaded move and honestly the smarter move probably would ahve just been Rhea and Priest breaking off on their own again... (that said Judgment Day Priest is still in a better position than The Damien and The Priest shit he was doing beforehand)
