Man I hope they don't let that man say a word. Mouthpiece all day for him. Seems like they could go the whole bodyguard route which as pointed out has only ever worked out the way it was supposed to when they did it with Nash and HBK. Will give him a chance though to see what they do with the situation.

well everyone is rather generic now so its hard to create that superstar specific theme like back in the day when each theme seemed to be absolutely perfect for everyone

I'm kinda steering the topic off course, but I do agree with you. However, there's absolutely no reason why the WWE couldn't look to underground bands (not on major music labels) and just make a deal where they use the band's music as theme song in exchange for an onscreen plug. No money even needs to be exchanged, no royalties paid or anything. There are underground bands and artists that would gladly play their song as entrance music for free exposure on WWE programming. Underground bands get exposure, and wrestlers get decent music.

It's just Christian (where the fuck is he), Trish, and Tomko again without anyone having the mic skills of Trish in the group. Least Dolph can work circles around that Christian

I am not a fan of what I see. Looks like he can't talk, and looks completely awkward in a promo. His ring gear is terrible. And he desperately needs a repackaging of his image. His hair pisses me off, his singlet looks too big for him, and the designs are straight up terrible. I've made better attires in WWE 13. I do not like what I'm seeing at all right now.

I like Trish on the mic, think she is one of the best divas on it but hope you aren't insinuating that she was the best mic worker in that trio. Dolph also has been coming into his own on the mic and is better than her at this point.

Yes I'm saying Trish was better than Christian in 04-05. And yes I'm saying she could kill Dolph now, despite his steady and noticeable improvement.

Whatever his talents or WWE's plans for him any newcomer would be happy with a debut like that. Its too early to feud with Cena, a bodyguard role with the odd
match will do for now.

I've seen a fair amount of Big E on NXT, he was basically the developmental Ryback. He was very much over with the crowd and basically dominated all his opponents quite easily, with his gimmick being getting the refs to count to 5 rather than 3 when he had decimated them.

It's quite ironic that some have mentioned Mason Ryan, as it looks like he's been given the role that was originally touted for Ryan, that of Dolph's bodyguard.

I was surprised they brought him up now though, as he only just claimed the NXT title from Rollins so they'll have to change that up again.

Not bad though debuting him by destroying the company face and being aligned with Doplh.

After seeing the trio together again on SmackDown last night I can say that the three together just look totally odd.

For a start Langston's body just looks bizarre, the guy is obviously built like a brick shithouse but he's pretty fucking short, shorter than Ziggler himself which just comes off weird. Maybe i'm just too used to seeing the usual tall guy as a bodyguard in the WWE.

Secondly, kill AJ's music already. Jesus, it was bad enough listening to it when it was just her on her own, but when it's playing out around the arena as Langston is stood over a fallen Cena trying to look menacing it kills the image. While we're at it, kill the stupid skipping aswell.

AJ just isn't a heel at all in my opinion, she's going to be a hinderance to Ziggler when he actually cashes in the case. I hate Vickie and think she's extremely stale but she at least she did something for him even though it went on for far too long, I just don't see AJ having the same impact. She was fine with Bryan in the cutesy babyface valet, but I don't see this working.

This trio just seems as random as the 3MB pairing.

It has only been a week, definitely going to give this guy and this group some more time. As of now I like the grouping concept with Ziggler having a bodyguard and a valet but just as long as Ziggler remains the focus since he is the next in line to the World title. Impressive start so far by being allowed to take out Cena but they need to follow up strongly in the following weeks on RAW, and Smackdown.

No thing called patience around hur.

It's true, we do rush to judgment.

But with how they're debuting this guy (hoping they get another Brock Lesnar flash in the pan), with no build up, no vignettes, no nothing, the fans aren't going to go for it once Wigger Jorts goes over him.
