Snuka was from Fiji, right?

Too bad they can't really call it a "Samoan Legacy" stable and feud with the Legacy stable of Orton, Rhodes and Dibiase

How about Umaga, Manu... Rikishi.... And THE ROCK? : P


Seriously tho'... Let's not waste Umaga's potential for the sake of a desperate bid to build a tag division on SD.

I'm pretty sure if they saw any potential in Umaga they would have done something with him already. He's simply an unusually good mid-card monster.

You say that, but he's had some pretty high callibre matches/opponents at big PPVs since he debuted (Cena @ RR, HHH @ SSlam, Vince's representative @ WM, IC-fued with Hardy)...

If he hadn't got injured upon arrival on SD, I think he'd have received a bit of a push... He looked awesome in his last few months on Raw (seemed to me like they were trying to build him back up following some of the shittier jobbing he had to do).

Even if we only got the much anticipated program with Taker and some further confrontations with Jeff & Hunter at least he'd be getting a decent amount of match time in which to shine...

Umaga > Khali, Show, Kane and the rest of the monsters, whether ME or Midcard.... And defo Umaga > Manu!

Personally I think he could do well too...I'm just saying I don't know what the WWE sees in him. His character definately needs to be opened up a little bit...maybe reveal that he does speak english..lol. He'd definately be a nice edition in the U.S. title division which is sorely lacking right now...actually..there is no division. I think he'd be severely overshadowed in the main event on any show right now, except ECW obviously...but anyway this is waaay off topic.


BACK TO LEGACY...
Orton/Priceless is definately the right combination for the stable and obviously what they had intended from the start. Sim and Manu were obviously just place holders for Dibiasi. I do however think that the stable would do well with another member, obviously the fit for that would be DH Smith. It would give them the perfect number for a title sweep on RAW eventually if WWE did so choose to make them that powerful. They did a nice job of redeeming a stable that looked destined to fail before they even got rolling last night.
And something even scarier.............................Cody is starting to grow on me a little bit..:boxed:

I'm not huge on the idea of DH Smith tbh.

Nothing against the guy, I've never seen him beyond maybe one match on Raw against JBL? Maybe?

Anyway, point is, I wish they had've quietly debuted him away from the Legacy a couple of weeks ago and let him win a couple of dominant matches first to introduce him to the crowd. Would've been a more interesting twist if While Snuka/Manu were trying to get in, Orton, Rhodes and DiBiase were actually looking at another second generation superstar that was on the show.

Definately. They did the same thing with Dibiasi in a way though, they debuted him straight into dominance.
And you know WWE, they'll completely ignore the existence of DH Smith before whatever they have him do in Legacy. It wouldn't be the first time we've seen someone "debut" more than once.
Umaga..Johnny Nitro...ect ect ect ect

You just mentioned a known cuss word in wrestling:

Rikishi.

Let's not talk of him again. My PTSD from watching him suck up air time is coming back to me. I'm about to have a panic attack.

Umaga is the fucking pwnage. I still can't believe how they fucked his ME push after being a convincing monster and putting on great matches 3 PPV's in a row. :nonono: Hopefully he gets that 'Taker feud to re-build his credibility.

Manu is decent, but he never should've been brought into the stable, he's never seemed to fit to me. But this thing with Sim is much better for him, I'd prefer to see them in some sort of Islander (Islander because the Snuka's...get this...ARE NOT SAMOAN) team to feud with Cody/Ted.

This makes me wonder if Priceless will be picking back up the Tag titles. And if they do...will it be to feud with Mizorisson or just simply pick them back up?

Legacy now is the best thing in wwe. Im a cena fan, but I'll like to see orton as world champ and legacy as tag team champs. Btw everyday, Im becoming a RKO fan, u know cena little kids jokes are really annoying me now.

Fuck WWE's insistence of having Ted make that movie....

I’m willing to suspend disbelief and all that, and by the time they start heeling a bit and kicking ass I’ll probably be a bit more over it, but the whole ‘Orton punts Dibiase only for him to forgive him’ just doesn’t work for me. When Ted debuted he clearly thought he was 'the chosen one' or something... Is he really that easily humbled?

...When they had the backstage segment on Raw when they reformed as a trio all I had going through my mind was “he’s coming for you , Orton”.

I'm also still, feeling the need for an enforcer type.... Joe Hennig is a big lad isn’t he? (I know some are speculating about DH Smith, but as thick as he may be he’s a right short ass! Lol)
